List of “I take my whiskey neat (you’re too sweet for me)” prompts 

“I think we’re… Too different.” 

“You really think we can work these incompatibilities out?”

“We’re literally the antonym of people who are meant to be.”

“Why force something when we both know it’s not going to work?”

“As amazing as you are and as much as I want to have you be mine, I don’t think it would be fair for either of us to hold each other back from someone we see actual potential with.”

“I mean, as much as it sucks that it didn’t happen the way we wanted it to, you can’t deny we had a good run.”

“It’s the fact that you’re so unconfident of us working these differences out…”

“You and I are like day and night. It’s not going to work out.”

“I think it’s best we go back to being strangers.”

“I’m surprised we even made it this far, if I had to be honest with you.”

The perks of writing a fanfic that mainly deals with music while also being a musician is that I can write music that will have maybe a verse actually appear and the rest will never see the light of day

Ignore my bad handwriting but Jesus Christ. Write that in like two hours cause I was bored. Already wrote out the chords too on a separate ate sheet of paper. THIS WONT SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY OUTSIDE A A FANFIC TF

And when Lumine finally interacts with Ayaka again the chapter could be called Good Luck Babe. Ahhhhhheidheueudehhw

It’s just a idea of course

When I’m thinking about doing a boyband au for HeiKazuScara with Aether|Venti|Kazuha|Heizou|Xiao as a band and Scara as the security detail who falls for two of the band members

BUT, the side plot would have Lumine/Ayaka where Ayaka would break up with Lumine because they were almost found out and she doesn’t want to “disgrace” her family name. So Lumine goes through a character arc and ends up with Jeht

It’s why I like trans Scara so much. Allows me to personally write MY experience as a trans person.

God, I love it when people who clearly have personal experience or expert knowledge on certain things write obscure AUs that incorporate those things so hyperspecifically that I feel like I'm learning something.

I love nurses who write hospital AUs that have accurate medical knowledge just thrown in there because they went to medical school and when people who clearly had a phase where they obsessed over a certain time period write an AU set in that time period or location it's just so fun.

Tell me about the 1950s Chicago culture and history and how the characters are interracial and how that affects their life, I love when the money is accurately converted and the personal histories of the characters are thoughtfully woven to incorporate the new setting they're put in, I love it when people care so much about making something and use their own expertise to aide them.

The true struggle of a writer...especially one who writes as a hobby.

Me: “oh I shouldn’t write anything new”

Fish in a birdcage: releases a song at the beginning of the month that gives me a really good fic idea

[lowlylux]

What if I do both /hj

newbie fic authors, shooting themselves in the foot: This fic is bad haha I suck at writing lol I am being mean to myself in the hopes that you will be nice to me but actually am dissuading anyone from even clicking on my fic because all I have done to advertise it is tell you why you shouldn't read it

me: I am King Big Dick of Fanfic Mountain and I have arrived in your fandom with the Express Intention of writing my Very Favorite Fics, which I will generously allow you to read. You're welcome.

[lowlylux]

No but you don’t understand. I either take forever with 5k words or like 3 hours. No in between

The “oh I could definitely write this fanfic in under 5000 words and it really wouldn’t take me that long” voice in your head is actually the devil speaking

[lowlylux]

Me when I wake up to not one but TWO comments ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This ^^ my fanfiction is MY interpretation of the characters and how I THINK they would react in different scenarios. I try to stay close to my interpretations but 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I have a lot of feelings about the rise of he would not fucking say that attitudes in fandom spaces and the paralysing effect it can have on creators. As a writer i think it’s important to just write what feels true to you and not what you think others will “approve” of. Like even as a reader i have enjoyed a variety of different characterisations that all work because the writer makes them work for a particular story. And a fic that’s written out of character to some will be in character to others. Writing fic is not your job you’re not being paid it’s your hobby please. Make them as close to canon as possible. Make them completely different. Who cares! Have fun! Have so much fun! There is an audience for every kind of fic and every kind of character interpretation i promise
