do you happen to know of any tumblrs that do what you do, but for other... types(?) of people? i'm struggling to find an active LGBT writing guide blog specifically at the moment but it'd be nice to have a masterlist of any blog of this variety, since tumblr's search is remissfully unhelpful..! tysm

Hi lovely asker!

So there used to be a whole lot of blogs that were labeled "Scriptx" blogs and of course others too. Good thing is a lot of them were archived! So while they're not open for new questions you can still use the search and use the information provided to other asks they answered. So I'm gonna tag the other active blogs or the ones that are just on hiatus and then I'm gonna link all the archived ones!

I briefly scrolled through a few of these that I personally wasn't aware of but I can't vet and scroll through each and every individual blog in its entirety because well it would take a very very long time. Also of the active blogs some don't have their ask box open and/or some are on small hiatus'. Please be respectful of that, pretty please, everyone puts in a lot of time and effort and yeah.

Currently reading through the outline I’m in the middle of for The Lost Crown, and I’m at almost 4 sticky notes of questions to ask various blogs. (Shout out to the @scriptmedic and the rest of the scriptx blogs, @authors-haven, @dukeofbookingham, and @oliviapaigewrites for being so awesome!)

[scriptshrink]

This may be a little out of your field? But I was wondering - does having a narrator who has delusions or schizophrenia or anything that makes them experience/percieve things that aren't real, automatically make them unreliable, or does it more depend on the intentions of the narrator? Ty!

This answer comes courtesy of @scriptstructure!

I’d say there’s a few different factors to consider. 

First off, are the delusional elements ‘untrue’ in the sense that they are misleading about the experiences that the character is trying to convey? 

I’d say that a character having a  'different’ view of reality due to a mental illness or condition doesn’t necessarily make them unreliable, so long as the story’s focus is on their perception of reality - it isn’t unreliable if they’re honestly conveying their perception of events. 

That said, there are a few different types of unreliable narrators largely divided into two groups; unreliable narrators who are trying to deceive the audience for some reason, and unreliable narrators who are lying to themselves.

So like, the narrator in Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is the murderer, but he’s keeping that from the reader by misdirecting their attention and misleading them. Likewise, Humbert Humbert from Lolita is an example - he’s narrating the story of what he did in such a way to attempt to persuade the jury of his murder trial that he’s an innocent victim of circumstance. 

On the other hand, there are narrators who for whatever reason can’t face the ‘truth’ of a situation. A subtle example would be John Watson in The Study in Scarlet, where there’s a discrepancy between his description of himself as a feckless layabout, and the facts of his military service and career (ie he seems like a dude with depression/ PTSD who’s self image has taken a nosedive after a traumatic experience. When he talks about stuff he’s done as not impressive, it’s misleading, but it does make Sherlock Holmes, who he admires very much, appear a lot more able and vibrant and interesting through his narrative choices).

The third kind would possibly be narrators who are unreliable because they don’t have all the information at the time, and have to work on assumptions. 

In terms of delusional or mentally ill characters, I’d probably say that the second or third kind of unreliable narrator would be more likely. However, if the character’s delusions are paranoid in nature, the character might 'test’ the reader or mislead them until they feel that they can give more or correct information.

There’s a chapter in House Of Leaves that does this - the narrator fabricates a chapter where he goes to therapy and starts medication and seems to be getting over the influence of the House, only to reveal to the reader at the end of the episode that actually he’s been living on the floor of his apartment the whole time, still obsessing.

Another good example is 'The Moth Diaries.’ The diarist is a teenage girl who may be succumbing to some form of mental illness, or may be watching her best friend be subsumed by a vampire. The book is ambiguous as to a 'true’ reading of it, but either way, the narrator isn’t unreliable because she’s reporting the facts as she sees them. This girl at school IS a vampire, and IS preying on her friend, and the struggle goes between trying to save a friend who doesn’t want her help, trying to get anyone to believe her that there’s something wrong with the new girl, and struggling herself with her own mind and feelings. She’s not an unreliable narrator, because she’s laying everything out as she witnesses it, and without the expectation of an audience (it’s her private diary), or else with the only intended audience being herself for the purpose of self reflection but there’s definite ambiguity in the text stemming in part from the narrator’s mental state.

I feel like the unreliability of the narrator is relative to the narratorial intent. Whether or not a character should be considered an unreliable narrator depends on the nature of the story, the character, the nature of the character’s mental illness, and the narrator’s relationship to the implied reader.

Thanks again to @scriptstructure!

Someone give her a movie, dammit!

Twitter thread by Gail Simone, [HERE]

Okay, for various deliberate reasons, I have not read nearly as many comics in 2017 as I normally do. And this week, I started reading a ton of comics. And I have stuff to say.

Now, if you are an aspiring comics creator, I hope you will listen. Ignore this advice if you like, but at least consider it first.

First, for the love of god, remember that the reader does not know what is inside your head. That is your only job, to convey your message.

Pro or newbie, shame on you if you don’t name your characters on panel if we are supposed to recognise them later.

Over and over, I am reading comics where (t)he main character is not named or even introduced. The story just starts and we are meant to guess.

This is just aggressively bad storytelling, unless there is some specific reason. If you are writing the Man With No Name, fine. But that’s mostly not the case.

Second, learn what an establishing shot is, and what it accomplishes. Over and over, I was not told where the characters are.

An establishing shot establishes not just location, but tone. One lonesome farm in the snowy emptiness can convey pages of dialogue and exposition. Better, too.

Third, when did we forget that it’s important to know what a character wants? I don’t need a character’s D&D stats, I need to know what they NEED. What drives them.

Over and over, I am seeing stories where a threat arises, attacks the hero, the hero fights back, bang, continued next issue.

If I read your story and don’t know what the character’s motive is, that’s on the writer.

Additionally, learn what a reveal is. In almost any story worth a damn, someone’s keeping a secret, regardless of genre. Secrets are storytelling nitro.

Finally, I am still reading comics where the characters all have similar speech pattern, a sort of affected one-liner-spouting verbal malaise.

It’s bad enough if TWO characters are indistinguishable in their speech, it’s bad. If all of them are, start over, you have hit a tree in the road.

That’s it, just some things to consider. A lot of potentially very interesting comics out there are missing a little lesson in the basics.

Just think it over, I guarantee you you will be happier with the result.

(thread is about comics, but the points apply to all forms of writing)

Featured Posts

19 Khajiits and Counting

The mild mad Greek goddess ( @pissed-off-persephone ) is back wondering how two different species could do the do and get results. But wait, what if we want the child to be more one parent than the other? @scriptgenetics answers this one pretty quick.

The Fish Say Moo

Fish are great! What with their swimming and their, uh, swimming and… swimming? Ok so maybe they aren’t the most fun pets, but hey you could always use them for food. But would it make sense to have fish the size of, say, sheep and keep them like cows? @scriptecology is here for this asker, with a bonus bit by @allthebellsinvenice .

The Deeper You Go, The Darker It Gets

So the deep/dark web: what is that? Creepypasta readers may be familiar with the idea, but you may not be know enough to write your own horror story filled with vomitous imagery. Well, @scripthacker has the McBasics ready for you to read and learn.

Characteristics of an Abused or Neglected Child

Writing many times looks at the darker side of humans. In consideration of the “show, don’t tell” rule, @scriptsocialwork has provided this list of characteristics that could be used in your story of the horrors of a dark home.

Decomposable Income

What makes something a good currency? Well, you probably wouldn’t want something subject to decay. @scripteconomist helps out this asker with a creative idea for currency, but maybe not practical. Who knows? Maybe it will work in the end.

An American Freshman in London

So obviously school is different when you’re in a different country, but an explanation of something basic like grade levels would be nice. Well say a “thank you” to @scriptbrit because Mod Tea has a chart here for you and a brief summary.

Invasion of the Land Snatchers

Long ago, the nations lived together in harmony. That all changed when that one nation attacked. Only @scripthistory, master of all the eras, could provide a reason for the asker. And when he was needed most, he was there with open ask box. Days passed and the question was answered. And though the blog has many questions left to answer, I believe Captain can save the errors of the scripts.

A Day in the Indoor Garden

She pulls the keys out of her purse and locks the door. It’s been a long day at the shop with everyone needing flowers for Valentine’s day. She sighs turning around as she walks to her car and thinks about the daily routine. It involves plenty of…. well @scriptflorist has that covered.

A Nuke at a Debate

Your character just moves into a house and go figure, it’s haunted. Well, he’s pretty sure, but he's not certain. How is he going to go about taking care of this spooky problem? @scriptwitchcraft has some advice that would be perfect for this.

A Book Here, A Book There, A Book Everywhere

And finally, you can set down your pen for a moment, and bask in the glory of a draft well done. The series has been selling well and now your last book is ready for publishing. You reminisce on the good times you’ve had in your fantasy world. That cave scene was epic, one of your proudest moments. Maybe, just maybe, you could somehow continue the story. But your characters are done, all their arcs completed. No what you need is new characters. And now, @scriptstructure has some advice for you on how you could do your new narrative.

How To Write More Memorable Doctors (Even If They Never Speak)

(Hey, hey, guess what. This post, right here? Yeah it appeared first on Patreon. Go check out Aunt Scripty’s Patreon and consider donating. See the future of the Script Medic.)

Billy Badbones? More like Broken bones after he jumped out that window. And now he’s in the hospital and he is BORED. He looks through the glass door and sees two nurses. Well, duh, he sees nurses, but who are these nurses? How can you make even a background character like a doctor or nurse be the character your readers remember? Bada bing, bada boom- @scriptmedic has a post for you!

Quotes

I’m trying this quote section out, see how it goes.

“I'm sorry, I was given sugar and a cat and left unsupervised to talk about cannibalism.” -Kayl ( @scriptlibrarian ) A summary of the chat

“On one hand, we have deep therapeutic discussions, and then it INEVITABLY turns to murder, cannibalism, or both.”- @scriptshrink Also describing the chat

"Tripping on your own insides is bad"-Aunt Scripty ( @scriptmedic ) Upon being asked whether someone could walk after being stabbed in the abdomen

“For a second I thought that said human sacrifice not human medicine and was about to offer help”-Ajk’in( @scriptmyth ) Realizing that she had misread something Dr. Ferox ( @scriptveterinarian ) has said

Ask Box Statuses

@scripthistory will not be answering at sks from January 5-14. The ask box will still be open.

New Family

We have two new blogs that have joined the family!

@scriptautistic run by Mods Cat and Aira. Click their names for their respective introduction posts.

@scriptspoonie is here to help you write people with illnesses that don't leave them much energy. The title is based off the concept of spoon theory which you can read about here. Learn about their mods here.

@scriptsoldier also has new mods. Please welcome LT Robin4 and PO1 Knight, both with Navy expertise. See the updated Mods page for more information.

[script-a-world]

What would be the fallout of a global cataclysmic event that results in every living creature suffering from complete and total amnesia at the same time, losing all concept of their identities and the society around them? Assuming language stays intact. As they rebuild themselves and the world around them, I can imagine society collapsing into factional warfare, power struggles, and a race to reacquire knowledge (no doubt book burning would become a huge practice as those who grasp onto power don’t want the “past” to disqualify them).

Hi there! The team feels that this is a bit too much plot for us to be able to help with. Perhaps @scriptstructure could help!

[wordsnstuff]

could you list down your followings? or like recommend some blogs that are similar to yours :) thank you!

Hello! I have quite a few blogs that I follow, so I figured I’d list the ones I visit most by category. (These are all in the writeblr community, but some of them focus on different things than I do.) If anyone has any blog recommendations, please leave tag them in the comments below!

[dontjudgemeimawriter]

I'm the anon who was asking for writing tips a few days ago on the other blog. Do you have any advice for pacing in a story?

To be honest I think @catclio is better at pacing than I am but I’ll try my best. Most of my stories start off slower paced and then pick up speed, with half of the story happening within 48 hours. The way to pace this is through chapters: if a lot happens it should be stretched out with detail, and if little is happening plot-wise the uneventful scenes should be less focused on-- until stuff starts happening. Basically the same amount of plot-forwarding-events should be within the same structure throughout. When we're talking about climaxes those are often full of plot, so it can be difficult to balance it, but often you can fill it with details or bits of information or subplots or flashbacks that keep the reader engaged.

Usually when I'm plotting, depending on chapter length, I pick an amount of major events. In Immortal Souls, strucrally, three things happen. One of these should propel the plot forward,one of these should forward a subplot (my subplots converge so it's more like a different secondary for now plat thread), and one should add characterization, exposition, develop the setting, develop tension, foreshadow, ect. Even in the climax there will be three different elements being developed. (At least I hope so)As far as the timeline within the story, you want to make the time frame as realistic as possible while still developing the plot. When my main plot isn't moving forward fast enough I have to keep things moving with subplots and important details or developments. Within a scene, details slow, dialogue and action speeds up. Keep the right balance for the tone of that particular scene. Idk if this is even good advice I feel like I'm spewing nonsensical BS. @scriptstructure might be helpful.

[scriptballerina]

I write a character that's a classically trained ballerina, but also very well versed in the Latin dances. When I started writing her, she was a doctoral candidate making ends meet by giving private lessons, (which is how she met her future husband) Unfortunately, a few people have taken swipes at me for writing a "Mary Sue". She's well drawn--flaws included-- so I don't understand that. Haven't trained dancers gone on other careers, and/or included interests in their lives other than dance?

Hi there!

Trained dancers can do a variety of things, including studying, pursuing a different career, and marry: doing these things does not automatically make your character a Mary Sue, but the how and when may.

You didn’t give me a very detailed description of your character, maybe there is more to it, some details perhaps, that your readers find unrealistic? Maybe ask for more detailed criticism from the people who have labeled your character a Mary Sue. Why do they think she’s one? Is it only because of her dancing abilities or is there more to it?

This is all the help I can give for now, shot a more detailed question whenever you want and maybe contact @scriptstructure for more,

[its-just-tired-me]

Saint-Valentin Thanks MASSIVE Post

We have a custom here, in Ayahne family that bled into mine. Like me, all of my cousins and some of my younger uncles and aunts are confirmed bachelors. Ayahne maternal grandmother (the gypsy one, for those that know her) decided to create a new tradition because her children were sad ; instead of sending cards and chocolate to loved ones, they would send letters and cards to people they were grateful for and why they were grateful. This is my take of the family tradition TumblrEdition !

Even if the following post is written in first person (« I ») it has been thought and written in tandem with @ayahne. This is as much by them as it's by me.

More under the cut !

@maybellemilk does some very awesome art and reblog very talented artists. I love to see their artworks and the things they reblog, because it's often from fandoms i'm not a part of. I discover new talented artists because of them, and i'm gratefull !

Script Family (like @scriptflorist, @scriptstructure, and all the other i won't mention because they are too numerous but this is adressed to you all) you all do a wonderful job. Your mods are kind and helpful, and they offer invaluable input to writters. Our writtings get better because of people like you. Thanks !

@rudescience is very helpfull and not actually rude. They helped me and kindly answered my random questions and gave me key words to search bymyself ; they are the first science blog i followed and gave me back the will to interest myself to biology and physics again.

@mathed-potatoes simply give me faith in math professors again, and mathemtics in themselves. I like the way they're always happy about math things and their jobs. They post a lot of nice things, and i'm always happy to see them on my dash.

@maxoutoften is a really kind person that made me avoid doing something i could regret. That aside, they have really interesting point of view on a lot of matters, may they be political or not, and i love seing their opinions on my dash. (and the random bird posts doesn't hurt either)

Undertale focused ;

@qbanalras is producing wonderful art AND a new comic that i'm already so infratuated about ! The writting is already fantastic, and the art is really worth checking ! I can't wait for a new page ; )

@imjustalazycat is wonderful storyteller and their comic is so interesting ! Their scenario is full of interesting ideas, and i am very impatient to see what they will come up with next !

@nekophy and @noinaedamiiz are really, really kind people. They are very nice with each and every one of their followers, and they're always patient and kind. The way Nekophy answer to everyone with a personalized GIF is such a kind touch !

@junorsky and @mrsbushlikestodraw; Each and every single one of their respective artworks is a masterpiece. I greatly admire their skills. Junrosky depicts awesome scenes with a pronounced and peculiar atmosphere, and mrsbushlikestodraw has just a unique way to use watercolors ; i think most of their arts are really touching and immersive. There's this something i can't really pinpoint about both of their arts that just hypnotise me and make me want some more !

@simonsoys and @nochocolate : The theories they come up with and their analysis are amazingly good. I always have a lot of pleasure reading their latests posts (and the art we sometime see is really good too!) Their in-depth and well thought analysis are of invaluable help to fic writters and to casual players ; they made me realize and rethink the game, and it's always agreeable to read them.

@bente36 and @rahafwabas and  @xxtc-96xx and @rainbowchibbit and @blossyay and @hawker-rawr and @loverofpiggies and @jakei95 and @huntertale-au and @heavenfell-au and @superyoumna have all been of great inspiration and, in a way, of great support to me in those last months. There is no actual words for how much their fantastic work has impacted my life ; no words for how grateful i am they exist : no words for how grateful i am that they chose to share their epically good work. Thank you, guys.

Special mentions ;

@drawing-prompt-s and @writing-prompt-s are always firing up good ideas that can spark inspiriation for a lot of people ; check them out !

@batwynn is one of the constant of my dash. They publish incredible art, and very nice  advices. They're one of my oldest subscriptions, and i've never regreted following them.

@kaleidraws is not only writting one of the best comics i've ever read but also spawning a shit-ton of memes and I laugh at everyone of them !

@weirdhusk-y is hosting streams that are a lot of fun and is a very skilled person. Their artworks are stunning and of great quality.

@undertalepositivityproject is doing an incredible job at helping lifting spirits and spreading positivity.

@starbotdubs are great people worth being mentionned, period.

Thanks for having read, and happy valentines !

What are your thoughts on switching between 1st and 3rd person POV to show a character dissociating or to demonstrate a mental distance from the character's actions?

I think that could work, depending on how it’s done! @scriptstructure may be able to give you some advice on how to integrate that smoothly.

Hiya! Love love love all the help you and the script family give to writers! I was wondering if perchance you'd have some tips or tricks on how to justly convey a a choir scene with the lyrics written down on the page for the reader to see. What I mean is, how would one give the scene the proper atmosphere, as though the choir can almost be heard by the reader?

Aww, thanks Anon. Well, huge caveat first off that I’m not a music expert (in terms of that end) nor do we have  a scriptmusic in the Official Family right now that I could defer to unfortunately.But, from a reading/writing perspective, my thoughts would be to NOT overuse the technical terms anyway.The reason being that ~technical terms~ in that kind of context might be confusing, or if you had to explain them all, boring to read, and might kill the “atmosphere” you’re going for; it could very well read like an infodump.If you want to evoke “atmosphere”, then what you should probably do (I would think), is focus on describing the more generalized sound and/or specific feel of it - especially the thoughts and  feelings the music evokes in the listener(s). Which itself can be used as characterization!For example:- Is the choir in a large space with echoes that cause it to sound ~haunting~? And if so, does a lonely character feel more lonely or small hearing that effect, or does the character feel transported, euphoric, closer to God (which is part of the point of Church choirs, of course)?- Is the listener a musical adept with the gift/talent of Perfect Pitch, who notices That One Soprano is off-key, or that the Alto in the third row could really use a cough drop, or that other one up in the top row is just mouthing the words omg - and if so, how much do the things they notice, actually bother them? - Are they an alto singer who wishes they could hit the high or low notes the way the sopranos and tenors could - or (borrowing from my own experience here) are they someone who used to sing pretty well but had something like a throat injury/illness that makes it currently hard to sing like they used to, and they feel nostalgic or sad or even lonely/bitter because they can’t be a part of something like this anymore right now?- How do the words of the song effect them? What do they associate it with? What other actions are interspersed with the lyrics that could give it meaning or emphasize the meaning? Does it remind them of their loved one who’s dead or lost, and they’re struggling to keep composure - or does it inspire them? It’s not just the nuts and bolts - or should I say, notes and lyrics - that should be used or rendered, in other words; what you do include, needs to have a good reason to be there, whether that reason is emotional, plot-related, theme-related, etc. Otherwise….well, why is it there? You know?And on that note (har), it’s possible - not guaranteed but possible? - you may want to chuck this question to @scriptstructure​ ? (Mason, the mod of ScriptStructure, is kind of recovering from Stuff right now judging from the last post, but has noted the Asks will be gotten to in coming days, so - be patient, but it looks like Mason’s not on Hiatus, so…?)Anyway. I will say though you should consider two “technical” aspects from a writing standpoint:1.) keep in mind that some lyrics - not always older hymns, but some gospel even! - are copyrighted; and because of this, if it’s not an original work by yourself, you may need permission to reproduce these lyrics if they don’t happen to be in the Public Domain.  Before you get ahead of yourself about how to include lyrics, in other words, it’s a good idea to know if you even can include them, or whether it could make a legal fuss for you if you do.2.) I’ve seen formal ways to quote lyrics within prose given as something like: “First bar or whatever / Next bar…”. This works great if you’re critiquing the lyrics themselves, but you know the saying about “rules were made to be broken”? Yeah, you don’t have to do it this way if it would be awkward for your prose in a novel or short story; I could think of several alternate ways that would be more “organic” to certain styles of writing, ranging from “centered in italics as its own paragraph, interspersed with the action”, to “rendered as normal dialogue, with tags/context/possibly italics making it clear that it’s sung by the choir” - and everything in between. You may even need to experiment a little, see what feels “right”, and/or just worry about editing it later! (Probably not what you were hoping to hear, but >_>) You may also want to look at other prose works (or novelizations thereof) that have included songs in them, for inspiration or in some cases to see what doesn’t work well in your own eyes - which can be just as valuable, trust me. :P On that front, I can’t think of any of the top of my head, but perhaps look around, ask a librarian for recs, or check the notes of this post in case anybody has a suggestion?Hope this helpful in some way at least, and like I said - perhaps take some time to consider the “reasons” it’s in there, and pose the question, with that context, to @scriptstructure in the next week or so?-Mod VorpalGirlFeeling generous?
