Hey how do make those fic collages/where do you find all the cool comparisons? Like the one you make for the Cleo & Joe Hills & Pearl fic. I had the idea to make some for my OCs to get a better idea of who they are but I wouldn't know where to the quotes

hello there!! tbh, i'm lucky in that i've accidentally pre-prepared for my web weaves; i've spent a very long time archiving poetry, quotes, other weaves, etc on my tumblr sideblog, tagged according to theme, and i also reblog fandom-related weaves on a different blog. to find good material, i tend to browse through one of my tags until i find something i like. there's also a few blogs i regularly comb through--@/araekni is an excellent choice, since they're a very meticulous tagger, and @/soracities and @/luthienne both have lovely quotes as well

sorry i can't be of much more help, if it helps i can include my tumblr weave-archive sideblog in the replies

good luck :D

my sideblog @/yjuniper is public and while it has none of my original stuff, it's got a decent amount of reblogs from others. the tagging exists but isn't great, so i'm planning on revamping them soon, though i've been procrastinating on that lol. also, @/junebugfall is my main, and that's where i reblog fandom-specific web weavings too.

how do you do web weaving,,, it’s really really cool and I wanna get into it but I’m not sure how

ah welcome hopeful weaver <3

spinning web weaves typically needs a central focus. often, this can be an emotion or an experience (e.g., grief, romance, childhood trauma). all of the ones i made are connected to a story, but more specifically, i narrow down to a character, relationship, or arc i enjoy. a more personal piece of advice i'd give is to web weave for what you genuinely feel passionate about; it helps with the process of finding material. i also spend an extra day reading through the story to get a strong grasp on it; i want my web weave analyses to stay true to the creators rather than shoving my own half-assed interpretation on it. but i'm a bit of a pedant and a perfectionist, so you don't need to do this.

after i select my focus--though this can sometimes be changed or further developed later--i look for material for the weave. this is where it gets tricky and time-consuming. as i mentioned in another ask, i'm a luckier weaver because i've had the fortune of a long stockpile of poetry, art, quotes, other web weavings, etc, gathered from a very long obsession with web weaving. i also tagged them all with themes, and i tend to search through relevant themes depending on the weave. (for example, for many of my rottmnt web weaves, i look through my "grief" or "siblings" tag, which happen to be among my largest.) for other fandom web weaves, i also tagged them by character, and they've been consulted if i feel such a character resonates with my theme.

other than my collection blogs, i also have other blogs i'm very fond of. @/araekni (also @/araekniarchive) and @/luthienne are my favorites, as they've tagged very thoroughly. @/morepeachyogurt is a close second, as is @/soracities and @/deadwatered. fandom-specific web weavers like me are rarer, but the mcyt fandom has some excellent ones. beyond that, i'm afraid i can't list too many.

i happen to have a laptop that allows me to take screenshots--more specifically screenshots that i can adjust before it captures--so i screenshot a lot of material and spend a painful couple of hours putting them together. i like a narrative flow, though most people don't and that's perfectly valid, so i'm really picky about the order of the materials, if there's too much monochrome, etc. i also prefer to incorporate fragments of the original story, since my weaves are dedicated to them and they also provide context, but for more general weaves, this isn't needed. additionally, i do my best to avoid repeating material, but sometimes this can still happen.

screenshots assembled--desktop tumblr allows for photo uploads up to 30--i do the MOST IMPORTANT step: CREDIT!!! it's only polite, and it's not even that hard to search up some writing to see who wrote it first. this is to all the weavers who don't credit >:(

anyway then i tag all the relevant fandoms and characters, though general weaves should consider themes and what tags best connect to them, and post!

phew, this was long, sorry. i hope just a general overview of the web weaving process helped! honestly, as long as you really want to and are willing to put in the extra hours, i'm sure you can do it :) thanks for asking!!

Do you have a list of web weaves you have planned or is it a spontaneous thing?

most of the web weaves i make tend to be from a list of hopeful projects i have, but quite a few are actually more spontaneous! though in terms of actually posting them, i fixate on the weave for like a solid number of hours until it's done, so i don't have a queue or anything :)

thanks for asking!
