What kind of research did you do before writing Dont Breathe? You use a lot of medical terms and just setting up the whole mystery and story- what kind of planning did you have to do? I am interested in starting writing more fics but I want them to be well fleshed out like yours ahh ! What do you reccomend in terms of approaching a new story?

Hi Anon

Thanks for getting in touch.

For the medical research, that was easy - I'm a doctor (even though some of the medical stuff was fudged for artistic license!)

In terms of the mystery/story, I started writing with an outline but it was more character-based than plot-based. I had certain beats that I wanted to hit with the character development and the interactions between Beth and Bruce, and the plot was created around those. Their characters arcs was the biggest priority for me - the plot was secondary*

For example, early in the story, I needed an excuse for Bruce and Beth to interact - I needed to deepen their connection. Allow them to learn a bit more about each other. So I came up with the idea of Bruce getting injured so that he would need to go to her for help. But how would he get injured? Saving someone. Saving who? A young boy. Why is the boy in danger? A gang initiation...

Thinking back on it, so much of the plot was born of problem solving like that. How do I get the characters here, in order for them to do this/say this? And when I cracked a problem like that, it was always so exciting/inspiring! 

But I didn’t just want it to be any old plot - it still all had to serve the characters. When I decided Bruce would get injured saving someone, it was a conscious choice over him being injured while fighting. I wanted to show the heroic side of Batman. And I chose a young boy on purpose, to plant the seeds of his future relationship with Robin (I never intended to introduce a Robin, I just wanted Bruce to get to the stage of considering a Robin).

I don't know if this is a conventional approach, it just works for me (and I hope I’m not spoiling the enjoyment of the story by revealing this!). And it all relied on writing several chapters ahead of what I was posting, so that I could go back and tweak things to make the story work and eliminate any plotholes.

*I learned that after writing my last story (a post Spiderman: No Way Home fic called Given To Fly.) I'm still really proud of that story, but I didn't have a good plan for the character arcs from the beginning and really struggled with it at the end. That was my first 'original story'. In fact, if you look back, there's a clear progression to my writing ambition - I didn't jump straight into a 90 000 word novel! I started with a couple of short 'internal thoughts' fics. Then I wrote something with dialogue. Then a character piece, that was more a series of vignettes than a plotted story. Then I wrote a plotted story, but it was based on an existing movie plot. Then I wrote something that was all my own idea (the spiderman fic), then I improved the concept with Just Breathe!

Thanks for these questions. It was fun to examine my own style - something I've never thought of before. I still don't really consider myself a writer - this is just something I mess around with for fun - but feel free to ask me more!

hii could i req an soft dom arlecchino x sub/fem reader?? something w a really needy whiny reader n maybe like a mommy kink or thigh riding IDK tysm for ur time !

{☆} characters arlecchino {☆} notes drabble, fem reader, sub reader {☆} warnings 18+ content

"Slowly, doll. We're not in a rush." Arlecchino reprimands lightly, squeezing your hips with just enough force to keep you unmoving on her thigh– she was still being gentle, but the subtle warning in her tone spoke to how easily she could push you against the desk and turn you into such a mess that you couldn't even remember your own name..just that you were hers.

But the barest hint of stimulation from her slacks pressed against your throbbing cunt had you twitching, barely able to form words. All you could think about was the scorching, twisting need building in your stomach, desperation for relief slowly climbing until you'd think she was doing this on purpose to drive you mad.

"Please– 'm a good girl, right? I've been good.." You choked out, only to be met with the rough, husky laugh echoing in your ear that made you feel dizzy with a rush of need, her nails gliding along the skin of your hips as she pressed you down even more firmly– you couldn't see her face but it was easy to imagine the crooked smile twisting her lips at the way you inhaled sharply and tried to buck against her thigh.

"Shh. I know, doll. I've got you, just relax." She murmured in that sickly sweet tone that always had your knees buckling, the raspiness of her voice sending shivers down your spine. It was almost impossible to relax with her so close, the notes of metal lingering on her skin despite how well she presents herself– but you trusted her, despite how you know you shouldn't.

"There we go. Good girl." Arlecchino's grip on your hips loosened just enough for you to move if you so wished, and oh did it take every ounce of restraint to not do just that..she hadn't said you were allowed to, and you weren't about to spoil her good mood by being a brat. Not tonight, anyway. "Do you want to cum, doll?"

The fervent nod you offer in place of words draws a laugh from her lips, one that is almost mocking, making your face flush in embarrassment– but the sudden tap against your hip makes your mind go blank to the point you forget it all together, focused only on the feeling of her thigh rubbing against your cunt as you bucked against her thigh, the fabric slick and wet against your inner thighs. You'd have half the heart to be embarrassed about that, too, if not for the sudden brush of her thumb against your aching, neglected clit. Just that small touch has you speeding up your movements, practically drooling as you whimpered like a dog in heat.

"That's more like it, doll. Such a pretty girl." Arlecchino hummed, her other hand trailing up your stomach, between the valley of your breasts and ghosting across your throat before settling on grabbing your jaw in a firm, yet almost tender touch as she tilted your head to the side just enough for her to pull you into a burning kiss. It left you lightheaded, grinding down against her thigh as she claimed your mouth as her own, her thumb still ghosting over your clit sporadically.

She'd spent so long teasing you, constantly touching you but never where you needed her, that you already felt like you were going to snap like a wire. She must've been in a really good mood, then, when she pulled away from the kiss with an almost predatory lick of her lips, yet she settled on pressing kisses to your skin rather then the usual sharp bite of her teeth as they sunk into the curve of your shoulder.

"Are you close? Go on. I want to see your face when you cum– you look the prettiest when you finally break apart, doll." Arlecchino mused idly– as if she wasn't talking to you while you continued to rub your aching cunt against her thigh, chasing your own release through shaky, strained breaths. Her thumb swiped over your lips, brushing strands of hair stuck to your skin from your face– at the same time as she swiped her thumb more firmly against your clit, creating a vicious contrast that had you both melting at the barest hint of almost softness from her and the touch of her hand between your legs, dragging you into an orgasm that leaves you trembling and, had she not shoved her fingers into your mouth, screaming, tears pooling in the corners of your eyes.

"All done, little doll. Take it easy." She murmured, voice so quiet you almost didn't hear it, thumb swiping across your cheek to wipe away the stray tear, her hands pulling away to settle on your sides. "You did well�� good girl. Let me take it from here."

r/dragonage (Reddit) post titled "Jeff Grubb: Dragon Age: Dreadwolf scheduled to release in late 2024." Post text: "Dreadwolf to be shown this summer and planned release later this year, Bioware is internally confident on the release date. Anything could change of course." Source: [link] Clip: [link] "Credit to: u/IcePopsicleDragon for posting this in r/GamingLeaksAndRumours."

In episode 339 of Game Mess Decides, Jeff Grubb had the following to say on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf's possible/rumored release window [transcript]:

Question from chat: “Hi Jeff and Mike, when will Dragon Age 4 be shown and released?” Jeff: “Yeah, I mean, I expect it will probably pop up this summer. I don’t know when it’ll be shown is the real answer, that’s the, let’s get that out, I don’t know when it will be shown. I assume it will be shown sometime this summer. Could happen at any time though. It will be released this year [2024], last I heard. That is, and they’re pretty confident about that, doesn’t mean it’s a guarantee, could slip, but right now, internally, they expect to release it later this year, which is why I took it in Fantasy Critic”.

Sunita’s descriptors of Leo and Donnie when she meets them in their granny getup is so funny because Donnie’s the one who pushes the grandma disguise and yet-

Sunita, seeing Granny!Leo: Aw, what a cute old lady

Sunita, seeing Granny!Donnie: A flying turtle in an old purple dress

If I was Donnie I’d be so offended by that, Hortense deserves better 😔

Men would rather create fake ceremonies so they have an excuse to touch/be touched by their crush than just admitting their feelings.
