Everyone should read their own fanfics recreationally tbh this shit fucking rules. It's like the author knows exactly what I like.

So I was thinking about epithets yesterday and how when they're used well they really add to the work and when they're used poorly it feels like the author has thrown a cinderblock in front of you while you're moving at a brisk walk, and then I got floostered (flu vaxx and covid booster) and managed to edit this ugly but hopefully helpful flowchart together through my flooster fever.

The question I always come back to is, "How would I, as the viewpoint character, think about this other character?" I think about my wife by her name or her relationship to me. I don't think of her as "the blue-haired woman," or "the taller woman."

This obviously doesn't cover every single permutation of epithet use out there in the would, but if I can help one person avoid writing, "Scarlett walked into the kitchen, hungry and annoyed about it. The redheaded woman found she had no snacks and grumbled," it'll be worth it.

(This is not a callout post for anyone in particular. It's just intended as general writing advice, because I had to figure out a lot of this shit for myself when I first started telling stories!)

oh, did she die? don't remember that happening...

I think what I like the most about this wonderful parallel is the fact that, the second time around, Zoro doesn’t say or ask anything. Luffy explicitly told Zoro that he needs him, and Zoro’s answer to that was that he will always be with him. “Until the end”. And true to that vow, Zoro is with Luffy here, didn’t even hesitate for a moment before he followed him. And he does nothing to feign interest or to push Luffy to talk when he doesn’t want to. Instead he simply waits to see if he is needed in this particular instance or not, getting ready to leave when he thinks it’s the latter but that moment being the exact one Luffy chooses to talk. To be fair, that first issue is something that bothered neither Zoro nor Luffy. But they still made it a point to draw a parallel between these two moments to show the growth of their bond. With one moment, being awkward and almost unnecessary and the other one, emphasizing how poignant their dynamic has gotten. To the point that there are barely any words needed. Just being there is enough.

enchanted by @areiton

You watch his smile shift, something softer, sweet and private, and he mouths, hi.

You blush, utterly enchanted. 

maybe they are by @areiton

“Maybe they fucked and Stark broke his heart,” Teddy says, watching Stark standing next to a table full of grad students, talking animatedly, waving his coffee as Rogers dodged by, giving him a dirty look.

Hot Professors and Underwear Models by @meshkol

Darcy Lewis is a simple gal, and by simple gal, she means unapologetically thirsty.

Nothing wrong with some eye-candy mixed in with classes, anyway.

non functional requirements by @lazywriter7

Gwen Stacy isn't having the greatest day, and that's before her System Designs Engineering professor starts explaining the material through the lens of his strained-sounding relationship. With his boyfriend in the audience.

Citation Needed by @elwenyere @festiveferret

Historian Tony Stark has one year to get his book about WWII weapons technology under contract before he goes up for Full Professor at Stanley College. There's only one chapter left to finish, which is supposed to explain Peggy Carter's involvement with something called "Project Rebirth," but there are two problems: his trail of evidence goes cold every time he encounters references to an enigmatic soldier named Steven Rogers, and his stress levels shoot through the roof every time he runs into the endlessly frustrating new hire in Fine Arts, Dr. Grant.

The Ring of Fire by @serinah80

Steve is 19 and has only had one girlfriend. He doesn’t like men, never has, so why the hell does Professor Stark make him feel this way?

A story with a ridiculous amount of anger, internalized homophobia, sexual exploration, self-discovery and pining. In short: it's about how student Steve tries, fails and then tries again to understand what is going on with him while dealing with his crush on a professor.

First Lines

Tagged by @carsonian , thanks for thinking of me! Also I now have more fics on my Stony to-read list, which I always appreciate.

Rules: List the first line(s) of your last 10 (or however many you have) posted fics and see if there’s a pattern

The Art of Losing

He is sleeping. Light, like the tremble of shoji in the wind. Membrane thin between the worlds.

Reflexes

It started off by accident. Kuro was knocked out on the floor, temple swelling up purple where he’d been bludgeoned by Sanji’s well-polished shoe tip. Usopp was hopping up and down nearby, mouth ablur with how they needed to get out before the new Black Cat recruits showed up.

we were infinite It starts with a demo disc. Tony doesn’t even notice it at first, jaw slightly ajar at the magazine cover – a masked commando with a knife poised to stab a roaring gunman. non functional requirements

There’s a man-shaped twig blocking the door to the lecture hall.

Everlong The Chevy’s wheels sizzle on the asphalt, gravel flying off the highway to clatter on its undersides. The windshield is hazy under the glare of the high noon sun.

playing favourites

Most folks Rocket knew had the good sense to limit their personality to a couple distinctive traits. Some key details. Likes guns. Has a hook for a hand. Will barter ship fuel for Hiberlac silks. Is stupid enough to be called Taserface.

the days, the days (they break to fade)

This is how you’re going to die, Tony thought. You big freaking moron.

When The Stars Come Calling

Funny thing was- he hadn’t even been looking for the damn thing.

life of aesop

“-could you imagine what would happen if I tried to pull something like that?” The woman onscreen has perfectly coiffed hair, parted straight down the centre and streaked with vermilion where it meets her forehead.

Five Bells

“How long is this gonna take?” “For him? As long as he needs. For us? Five seconds.”

Patterns, hmm. At least two of the latest fics start with some variation of 'this is how it starts', which is hilariously literal. Clearly a Lot of Thought put into those. I seem to typically start with a short-to-medium length sentence and then punch up the detail in the one that follows it. Only two of the above openings include the names of the POV characters. My personal favourites (on reread) are the ones that jump into the voice of the character straight away, instead of the mood of the fic, which is interesting. In those ones I can almost hear them read it out loud. I also don't really see a difference in the opening styles in fics for different fandoms, which is doubly interesting. Gonna skip the tag game part of it since most folks seem to have been tagged already and my tender ego cannot take the brunt of being unacknowledged this early in the morning XP So if anyone's interested, just go ahead and do it!

started one piece a while back and the sword guy kinda neat
