all debates abt the artistic merits of fanfiction fail to recognize the purpose of fic. you don’t write fic to be published or to learn how to construct a narrative although you can use it to develop style. you write it so that your friends will message you “bestie you’re utterly deranged for this one im eating dirt”

Hello! So I'm having problems like dropping clues and hints to big revel of the story, how do I still keep my readers engaged and not give all the answers away?

Dropping Hints without Giving Everything Away

If you want to keep readers engaged and looking forward to “the big reveal,” it’s essential to drop hints along the way to keep them guessing, but doing that without giving everything away can be tricky. The key is to choose hints and clues that are intriguing but not specific–unless you’re intentionally trying to misdirect the reader, which isn’t what I’m covering here.Specific hint/clue: a matchbook is found at the crime scene and there’s only one character who smokes and frequents that bar.

In this case, the reader is going to suspect that character was at least present at the crime scene, but they’re probably going to assume they’re the killer. And if they’re right, that’s obviously going to steal a lot of thunder from the big reveal.

Indirect hint/clue: a matchbook is found at the crime scene and it could belong to one of three characters–a character who is known to smoke, a character who is known to work at the bar the matchbook came from, or a character who is known to collect matchbooks.

In this case, all three of the characters become suspects. Based on that clue alone, the reader won’t have more or less reason to suspect one character over any of the others.

As you drop indirect clues and hints throughout the story, it gives your reader room to put the pieces together however they think they fit best. Maybe they come to the right conclusion, maybe they don’t, but the point is you’re not telling them directly. Ideally, after the big reveal, you want the reader to be able to look back at all of those hints and see how together they pointed toward this one character rather than any of the others.

I hope that helps!

Weaving Details Into the Story

Revamp of an old WQA post…

Avoiding the Dreaded “Info Dump”

An “info dump” is when the writer delivers a boat load of details in a giant, multi-paragraph wall of text. Some writers will argue that info dumps are unavoidable, but I disagree. Is it sometimes necessary to explain things? All the time. Is it necessary to explain them in a seven paragraph block of text? Never. Details can almost always be woven into the natural events of the story. And, when they absolutely can’t be woven into the story for some reason, you can at least find ways to break the details up into smaller, easier to digest sections.

Gathering Your Details

When you have a lot of details that need to be worked into a story, especially details pertaining to world building and back story, it can be helpful to sort and organize those details ahead of writing. What I like to do is sort the details into a list with three columns: necessary details, helpful details, and writer details.

Necessary details are the top priority details. These are the details that are vital to the reader’s understanding of the story. Helpful details are details that aren’t story critical, but they help the reader visualize the story. Writer details are details that are important to your own understanding of the story, on a personal level, but which aren’t critical or even helpful. These details might find their way into the story occasionally, but you don’t have to include them. Also, I like to do one of these columned list for different sets of details: one for setting details, one for character details, one for back story/mythology, etc.

Prioritizing the Details

Once you have your details sorted, you may want to prioritize the details in terms of when they become important to the story. There are lots of different ways you can do this. You can manually sort them so the earliest important details are at the top of the list, while the final important details are at the bottom. You could note the relevant scene, chapter, or act next to each detail. Or you could use different color highlights to sort which section the details fall into.

Weaving the Details Into the Story

Now that you know what your important details are, which ones are the most important, and roughly where they come into play, you can start to look at the best ways to deliver those details. For each detail, consider which way might be best for it to enter the story: exposition, dialogue, observation, discovery, memory dream, flashback. If it’s dialogue, who’s the best character to deliver it? If it’s a memory, dream, or flashback, which character will have it? If it’s observation or discovery, who observes/discovers the information and how?

The Trick to Seamless Detail Delivery

One of my favorite easy examples of seamless detail delivery is the first chapter of The Hunger Games, where Katniss is walking through District 12 on her way to go hunting with Gale. Not only do we get details about the immediate setting, but we get details about the broader world and government, we get a look at the condition of her society, we learn what Katniss’s daily life is like, and we learn about Katniss herself. Plus, we get some important details that set up the next part of the story. This is all done while Katniss is walking through District 12, observing, ruminating, remembering, and interacting with her environment and its inhabitants.

Have a question? My inbox is always open, but make sure to check my FAQ and post master lists first to see if I’ve already answered a similar question. :)

[glitterdeerswritingblog]

I've done the research, but I don't think the results I've found have answered my question. My WIP stars a trio of teens who are 14 - 15. And since this story centers around change, firsts, and coming into one's own, I wanted to feature a romance between two of the three MCs. I know more subtle signs of romance include shared looks, unspoken communication, hand holding, shoulder bumps, gentle headbutts, and going out of your way for the person your care for. But is that everything?

The Subtle Signs of Romantic Interest and Love

Whether affection is just beginning to develop or two people are in the early stages of a relationship, there are lots of subtle signs to indicate romantic interest and love. In no particular order…

External Signs

- stolen glances- lingering looks- intense eye contact- sharing a knowing look- eyes meeting- looking away bashfully after eyes meet- feeling nervous/tongue-tied when trying to talk to the other person- voice cracks when trying to speak to the other person- flirting- straying from normal attitude or behavior with other person- denying interest in other person when pressed by friends (in early stages)- communicating feelings through the eyes (worry, pain, pride, love, etc.)- awkwardness after accidental touching- shared laughter after accidental touching- an “electric” feeling when touching the other person- speaking at the same time (a little cliché, but it can happen)- tentative touching- finding ways to touch when intimate touch is restricted- open, affectionate touching (holding hands, hugging, nuzzling, etc.)- brushing a lock of hair behind the ear- gently stroking jaw line, chin, or cheek- kissing forehead, temple, or top of head- rubbing nose tips together- displaying flirtatious tics like biting lip, twirling hair, running hand through hair- talking excitedly or affectionately about the other person to friends- constantly talking about the other person to friends- blushing when teased by friends about the other person- giving the other person meaningful gifts- keeping mementos as reminders of the other person- making excuses to be near the other person- making excuses to spend time with the other person- wanting to get to know the other person’s friends and family- good mood/always smiling from being with or thinking about other person- giving each other nicknames or using pet names/terms of endearment- being reminded of other person when listening to love songs- sharing possessions, letting each other borrow meaningful possessions- willing to make sacrifices to be with the other person or to make them happy- sharing secrets, or things not often shared, with the other person- speaking softly or whispering in the person’s ear- cheeks/neck/chest becoming flushed- moving quickly toward the other person to close the distance- sighing, either out of happiness or missing the other person- losing track of time when with the other person- feeling like the rest of the world melts away when with the other person

Internal Signs

- thinking fondly of the other person- thinking about them constantly- recalling fond memories- seeing constant reminders of the other person- worrying about the other person- daydreaming about future activities with the other person- daydreaming about sharing a future with the other person- analyzing a previous interaction- dreaming about the person- feeling “weak in the knees” around the other person- remembering moments containing looking/touching moments- wanting to know everything there is to know about the other person- wanting to spend every waking second with the other person- orchestrating meetings that seem to be happenstance- feeling joy/racing heartbeat/butterflies upon seeing other person- craving the person’s touch, or being able to touch them- constant feeling of being “on cloud nine”- often distracted due to thinking about other person- wanting to impress the other person or make them proud- when not with the other person, noticing things they would appreciate- unable to see anything but positives where the other person is concerned- feeling suddenly warm- feeling breathless- noticing (and loving) little details (moles, scars, birthmarks, unusual traits)- wanting to improve self to impress or benefit other person- eyes constantly seek the other person out- inability to stop looking at the person, difficulty not staring at them- thinking you see the other person in a crowd when they’re not there- difficulty sleeping/loss of sleep- feeling a deep desire to kiss the personIf you need an extra boost, watch a few romantic comedies or love stories. Watch the way the characters behave as their interest in one another is building and as they begin to explore a relationship. :)

Guide: Horror By Daylight

From an old post…

Sometimes you need to write a horror scene that takes place in broad daylight, and at first that seems like a huge challenge. After all, we typically associate scary scenes with darkness. However, darkness isn’t required to create a scary scene if you utilize all the senses. Focus on details like sounds, smells, quick movement at the edge of your vision, psychological/emotional feelings, and visceral reactions. 

Things to focus on:

Sounds - such as a floor creaking upstairs when no one else is home, or an agonized wail echoing through a windy forest.

Smells - like the acrid smell of rotting flesh, or the fading aroma of old urine.

Tastes - perhaps the metallic taste of blood, or the harsh taste of dried gasoline on a rag used as a gag.

Visuals - dappled sunlight falling across the stone face of an angel guarding the grave of a child in a quiet old cemetery, or the shadow of an uninvited visitor silhouetted against the sunset light coming through the closed curtain of a back window.

Psychological - the terror of being in an empty room and knowing that, somehow, you’re not alone.

Emotional - the heartbreaking knowledge, as the murderer’s ax falls, that your life is over.

Visceral - hearts pounding, breaths fleeting, stomach rolling.

I would recommend looking at photos of abandoned places (most of which are taken during the day), old cemeteries, foggy forests and lakes, and vintage toys and objects. If you can, see if you can visit an old town with a historic downtown area. Sometimes these have old buildings along the main street which are filled with junk and antique shops. Just setting foot into one of these places can be an inspiration between the sound of old floor boards and the musty smell of old objects. Plus, you can get a lot of inspiration from old objects from creepy looking dolls to rumpled old hats. Most towns have cemeteries dating back to at least the 1950s, but you can usually find older ones than that. Things to search for on Google and Google Image Search for inspiration:

i loved your recent answer about pacing it was so helpful! it wasn’t my question but the advice was brilliant! not sure if i’ve just missed it but do you have a post on showing not telling? i’m not great with exposition and writing descriptions about things that matter in a scene! thank you :)

Guide: Showing vs Telling

I talk a lot about showing vs telling but I don't have a whole post about it, so here goes! ♥

"Showing vs telling" is one of those phrases that strikes fear into the hearts of newer writers, but it's actually very simple and nothing to worry about.

This quote, which is paraphrased from something once said by writer Anton Chekhov, is the absolute best illustration of showing vs telling.

...

Telling: Sally walked outside and saw the moon was shining.

Showing: Sally walked outside and carefully stepped over the puddles of moonlight left behind by the evening's rainstorm.

...

Telling: It was a long walk to the road.

Showing: Sally skirted the shadows as she traversed the muddy distance between the house and the road.

...

Telling: Sally was mad.

Showing: She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, her nostrils flaring as her mind raced through every mean word Harold had said.

...

Humans are pretty good at interpreting sensory details. If it's night and we see light shining in a puddle, we know that light is coming either from the moon or an artificial light. We can look up in the sky and see whether it's the moon or whether there's an artificial light nearby. If we suddenly find ourselves standing in a forest and hear wolves howling nearby, we can probably guess we're in a remote location and are possibly in danger. If we go outside and smell wood burning and see black smoke, we can guess there's a fire. If it's cold outside and there are homes with fireplaces nearby, we might assume someone has a nice fire going in their fireplace. If we're in the middle of nowhere, we might guess it's a campfire. If it's the middle of summer, we might worry that there's a wildfire or wonder if a neighbor is burning yard waste.

Showing vs telling is all about taking the direct thing you want to tell the reader--Sally was mad--and thinking about the sensory details that would illustrate that thing for the reader. What can be seen? What can be heard? What can be smelled? What can be tasted? What can be felt?

You don't have to pull every sense into your description, though. Only the ones that best convey the thing you're trying to convey. In the case of "Sally was mad..."

What can we see? Her fists are clenched, her jaw is tight, her nostrils are flaring.

What can we hear? She is grunting, spitting through her teeth when she speaks, she's breathing heavily.

What can we smell? Well, in the case of anger, we generally don't smell anything. Though, if the thing she's angry about has any smells associated with it--like being mad about burning some cookies--that is certainly something to consider.

What can we taste? A third-party observer might not taste anything, but Sally might taste the char of the burned cookies. Or she might taste bile in her throat that resulted from anger-related stomach upset.

What can we feel? Again, a third-party observer might not feel anything associated with someone's anger--unless it's the vibration of a tapping foot of the hot breath of someone's angry words--but Sally might feel her heart racing or heat rising into her cheeks. She might feel the grit of the burned cookies in her mouth.

Showing vs telling means looking at those possibilities and choosing a few that can be combined to create the impression you want to give.

However, sometimes--for the sake of pacing, scene transitions, exposition following a time jump, and for other reasons, telling can actually be the better choice.

Here are some situations where telling is better than showing:

1) When something happened but it isn’t critical for the readers to see the thing actually play out. If the burned cookies played only a small role in Sally's anger, it may not be important to show how the burned cookies affected her. It might just be better to say, "The burned cookies only added to Sally's fury."

2) When clarifying less important things that happened during a “time skip.” If the situation that caused Sally's anger happened off the page, that might be a good time to tell rather than show. Otherwise, you have to do a little flashback to show the thing happening, but that might not make sense to do, especially if the thing that happened wasn't as important as the fact that she's in a bad mood when the new chapter begins.

3) When you need to make a long conversation, speech, or description a little bit shorter. The last thing you want to do is overwhelm your reader with page after page of description, so sometimes it makes more sense to tell things directly to the reader rather than to show them. Any time you get to something that can be told or shown, ask yourself if this is an opportunity to bring some description into the story, or whether "showing" the thing would slow things down or clutter up a section that already has a lot of description.

4) When you need to deliver back story or other important information. If Sally being angry about the cookies preceded an event that was important to her backstory, and this story is being told by one of Sally's acquaintances to another character in the story, this might be a time when it's better to just say, "She was angry about some burned cookies, and that's why she stormed into the village and accidentally bumped into Lord Rotherwell." Otherwise, you once again get into sort of a flashback type situation, which might work in some backstory explanations but not others.

I hope that helps! :)

Guide: Horror By Darkness

Sometimes, horror scenes have to take place in total darkness. This can seem very limiting, but there’s actually a lot you can do descriptively in total darkness. Not only can you focus on non-visual sensory details–sounds, smells, touch, and taste, but you can also use psychological, emotional, and visceral reactions that your characters experience. And there are ways you can use sight, too: flickering lights, fire, moving shadows, moonlight, eerie glows, etc.

Things to focus on:

Sounds - wind, thunder, creaking stair, gun shot, agonized scream, voices in the darkness, footsteps in pursuit.

Smells - like the acrid smell of rotting flesh, or the fading aroma of old urine.

Tastes - perhaps the metallic taste of blood, or the harsh taste of dried gasoline on a rag used as a gag.

Visuals - flickering lights, fire, eerie glows, moonlight, moving shadows, silhouetted figures, lightning

Psychological - hiding and knowing someone is close to finding you, running and being pursued, being trapped or cornered

Emotional - fear, terror, grief, confusion, desperation

Visceral - hearts pounding, breaths fleeting, stomach rolling.

Question!!! But how do I integrate subtlety into my writing? Like I have a hard time picking up on it and I annoyingly have a tendency to tell not show, so I wanted to know if you have any advice!

Writing with More Subtlety

-- Getting the hang of "showing vs telling" is a great place to start if you want to integrate subtlety into your writing. Saying, "Moonlight glinted off the lake," is more subtle than, "The moon was shining."

Guide: Showing vs Telling

-- Learning to evoke emotion and ambiance with sensory description is another way to write with more subtlety. After all, saying, "The house was scary looking," is not as subtle as, "Thick fog curled around the decaying timbers of the once grand Victorian home."

Horror by Darkness Horror by Daylight

-- Knowing what internal and external cues can be used to illustrate your characters' feelings is also helpful, because, "Sarah was sad," is not as subtle as, "Tears pooled in the corners of Sarah's eyes, and she bit her upper lip to keep it from quivering."

Showing a Character's Feelings The Subtle Signs of Romantic Interest and Love

-- Learning to weave details into your story is also helpful, as it's more subtle to work details in naturally than to do a big info dump.

Weaving Details into the Story

-- Finally, learn to drop hints rather than declare something outright.

Dropping Hints without Giving Everything Away

I hope that helps!

*Takes you by the shoulders* I ADORE character profiles and character trivia and likes and dislikes sections. I love knowing this ruthless, heartless, cruel man of a character has a childish dislike for mandarin oranges. I believe in the inherent beauty of making all characters, no matter the background or moral stance, being made fundamentally human by assigning them insignificant culinary preferences. I stand by the supremacy of humanizing villains by giving them relatable tastes and trivial interests and ordinary hobbies. I treasure the hidden reminders that everyone is inherently human even when everything else we know about a character might suggest the contrary.

thinking about that post of people assuming ao3 has an algorithm and also about how bonkers persistent the view is that ao3 is social media lite. like with startling regularity I get comments saying something along the lines of "it's probably weird to comment on a fic this old--" no it isn't!!!! this is an archive I am literally just assuming you searched for a selection of specific tags or sorted by kudos or looked back on my pseud or any other number of completely normal ways to use an archive site ?? kill the tiktok ghost in your brain and comment on old stuff it's NOT weird

THE MISCONCEPTION ABOUT COMMENTING ON FIC

I’ve read all kinds of posts both from writers and readers lamenting about comments on fic. Authors are upset when they don’t get any, readers don’t know what kinds of comments to leave, etc. And it finally clicked in my brain why I think a lot of people don’t bother writing comments. 

And this is what it boils down to:

Writers do not want praise.  We just want to talk about our story. 

I can’t speak for everyone obviously - but I think the majority of writers don’t care so much for the “omg you’re a brilliant writer!!” comments as much as we just want to hear your thoughts on the story. Even if it’s just your thoughts as you’re reading of “oooh x happened! I can’t believe y said this! What’s going to happen now that z has happened?!” We literally just want to talk about what we’ve written like you would with a friend about a tv show. We’re not out here demanding praise like some entitled narcissist. 

While praising our writing skills or writing style is appreciated, it doesn’t need to be said on every fic and every chapter that you read. If you regularly comment on someone’s work that’s telling enough that you like our technique. Readers shouldn’t feel pressured to have to praise a writer’s abilities every time they want to comment. 

In the grand scheme of things, talking about the fic/chapter is actually more helpful to us writers instead of spewing praise. It’s the same with artwork. As nice as it is that people tell me “wow your art is so pretty!” it’s a LOT more useful to me to get comments like “I love their expressions!” or “the lighting on this is gorgeous!” because then I know WHAT people are liking about it. If no one ever comments on my backgrounds, I now know what to improve. If most people comment on liking the expressions, I now know the strong points of my art and can use it to my advantage to make even better art in the future. 

The same goes for fic. If multiple people tell me they liked a certain part of the story I now know that things similar to that are a hit. It’s feedback I can use to improve the story and give my readers more of what they want. Without that I have no idea what they like about the fic.

Talking with a writer about their story also gives them inspiration!! Nothing gets us more in the mood to work on a fic than to have people wanting to talk about it. A lot of times just talking about one of my fics with someone will give me that push to continue working on it. Getting a comment that just says “great chapter” or “you’re a great writer” doesn’t do much to motivate us to continue that particular fic. But if you talk about the story and the characters it gives us motivation to continue working on it, may even give us ideas for future chapters. I would hope that those of you with “comment anxiety” find this approach so much easier than trying to praise the writer every time you read.

So that fic the author hasn’t updated in forever that you’re dying to read? Talk to them about the fic and the elements of the story! It will make the writer want to talk to you about it and will get their mind thinking about it, hopefully inspiring them to continue where they left off. Fics that are left in silence are more likely to be abandoned or even deleted because nothing feels worse than putting your heart into a story to have no one say anything about it. 

TLDR; Writers do not want praise, we just want to talk with our readers about the story itself, and these are the kinds of comments that inspire us to keep writing more. 

AMENDMENT >>> Some people are misinterpreting my words so I just wanted to make something clear. I am not trying to police how people comment - I am merely reassuring readers that not every writer is an entitled asshole who expects you to comment about how talented they are and what a gift they are to the fandom. I’ve seen this attitude in writers occasionally and I want people to know that most of us writers are not like that. We love any and all comments but you do not ever need to feel pressured to say how amazing we are and lick our boots. There is nothing wrong with praising the writer, in fact a lot of us love it, but it is not something that should be required if you feel inclined to comment.

A good writer will love any positive comment whether there be praise or not. A good writer will never have expectations or demand something of their readers. A good writer will appreciate their readers and cherish the comments they receive.

A SHADOW IN THE RISING SUN

This is a story about the Ghost King. Will Solace (crown prince in the Seventh Kingdom, politically useless as it may be) does not particularly want to be married to a thing of nightmares. He doesn't really have a choice, though. When does he ever? He allows his father to push him led into this politically advantageous, beauracratically necessary arrangement without too many complaints, and resigns himself to the fact he will be marrying a tyrant out of the tall tales his mother used to tell him when he was a boy. Except then he meets his husband - a boy, and one younger than he is at that! - and realises that he has absolutely no idea what to expect. All he can hope for is that no one tries to kill him.
