[am-i-interrupting]

hii how are you doing?

so, i have this idea for a silco fic - reader is his assistant and they become close friends, like, even though she’s younger than him, he trusts her and values her opinion. they like discussing books and philosophy and stuff, but silco refuses to believe he’s falling in love (he sees it as weakness ig) . reader starts feeling like her feelings are one sided. idk lots of hurt and drama but with a fluffy end!

Kingpin’s Office

Sevika was laid back on the couch in Silco’s office. From one hand dangled a large bottle of alcohol. Her other was hidden behind her cloak.

Her leg bounced up and down. It’d been a stressful week for everyone. Especially her because it’s been a stressful week for Silco.

Numbers were piling up. They were growing larger and larger and more and more. Silco didn’t have time for the unimportant shit and she wasn’t the best with numbers. Most people in Zaun weren’t.

It wasn’t like there was some education system. No, most of those who did things that topside would use math for just used common sense and trail and error.

That wasn’t possible for things like payroll and equipment costs. This was important but it shouldn’t be taking up Silco’s time and they both knew it.

It’s only now, in the trenches with a storm on the horizon, that Sevika dared open her mouth with a suggestion, “There’s a gal in the Promenade I know. Owned a shoe shop for a while ‘til some enforcer’s wrecked the place and she wasn’t able to pay to get it fixed.”

“Your point?” Silco asked, smoke from his cigar slipping from his lips with the words.

“She’s good with numbers,” Sevika said, getting to the point, “and she’s looking for work.”

Silco paused. He thumbed the corner of the paper in his hands. He brought his cigar towards his mouth and slowly, thoughtfully took a drag. His lower lip curled to his right side as he blew out the smoke.

“Bring her in.”

That’s how you met and were then employed by the Eye of Zaun. At first it was just the numbers. Then your work began to expand. It wasn’t officially but you were given different papers to go over, the ones not so important to be looked over by Silco himself.

It was easy to be intimidated by the man. However, without an official office and Silco still wanting to keep a close eye on you at first, you learned the man wasn’t one who needed to be feared all the time. He certainly had his scary moments, yes, but he also had his softer ones as well.

You noticed little habits within that first month of doing paperwork on the couch. He would tap his cigar once, twice and then twist it to put it out. He enjoyed the sound of ice clicking against glass. He would pick up his cup and empty it just to hear the noise. He wasn’t found of music while he worked but he couldn’t say no to the blue haired girl who would fall in from the rafters.

The first time you met Jinx was an experience.

“I’m busy,” Silco had said causing you to look up but the two of you were the only ones in the room.

You jumped slightly in your seat when a voice responded to him, “Isn’t that what she’s head to fix?”

He took a deep breath. “She is here to look over documents which don’t require my attention. That doesn’t mean I don’t still get busy.”

“Blah, blah, blah. You know what I’m hearing?” the voice asked. “A bunch of big fat excuses.”

Silco didn’t dignify that with a response. He simply let the scribble of his pen answer what he thought about it.

A mere moment before a loud bang sounded through the room, Silco gathered the papers and spun his chair to face the side instead of the desk. A flash of blue and then you saw a young girl, perhaps thirteen or fourteen, sitting on the desk.

She groaned as Silco still focused on the papers in his hand. Her head tilted back and her body followed it to fall. She laid on the desk.

Two braids angled over the side and her bangs followed the pull of gravity. Her eyes looked at you. She smiled and waved. A pen between your fingers, you waved back.

“It’s so quiet in here,” she said.

“Jinx,” the word (which you realized was actually a name) was said in a low, warning tone.

“Yeah, yeah,” she said as she righted herself. She got right in his face. “You’re no fun.”

“Hmm.”

He moved his chair back to its previous position and placed his papers on the table top. Jinx moved to a cabinet and flung it open.

“What kind of music do you like?” she asked, head reared back to look at you.

“Oh, I— I’ll listen to anything,” you said, startled to have the girl’s attention directed towards you.

“Anything,” she repeated with a sly smile coming over her face.

“Jinx,” it was said in that same tone.

“Yeah, yeah.”

Put out on a record regardless of the warnings. It was not what you would expect him to have. It carried a strong bass with a nice tune, guitars and drums, a beautiful singing voice. The track was lovely but rock music instead of the instrumental you assumed he’d have.

You quickly learned that Jinx seemed to be Silco’s soft spot. It was cute. The towering figurehead of the Undercity was wrapped around the finger of a blue haired teenager.

You were now approaching a year of working with Silco now. You had your own office but occasionally (most days) you would end up bringing some of your work into his.

“Ballad put in a request for a raise,” you told him. “What would you like me to do?”

He waved a hand. “Whatever you see fit.”

That was another unexpected thing. Once he realized, about four months in, that you were actually competent, he let you do what your gut told you to. He didn’t question it. He trusted you with it.

He actually began to frequent your office the past few months nearly as much as you frequented his, bringing a piece of paper with him and asking your opinion.

He never simply left after getting that answer. No, he commented about how you decorated the space. This led to talks about all sorts of things.

You learned that he enjoyed to read. He had an entire collection of books, some of which he’d even let you borrow. They were all well taken care of even if the spines were a bit worn.

You noticed they were also mostly from Piltover proper. Upon questioning him about it he said, “If we ever hope for them to take us with an ounce of seriousness and give us the tiniest bit of respect, it’s important to know how to speak like them.”

The two of you had many talks which lasted minutes at the least and hours at the most.

You had learned you rather enjoyed his company and held onto a spark of hope that maybe he enjoyed yours as well.

You gave Ballad that raise they asked for. They deserved it and there was money for it.

You continued on with you work, completely unaware of the eye which kept flickering towards you.

Silco had been feeling things which he hadn’t felt in a long time. It was a warmth in his chest which occasionally spread downward towards his groin. He recognized it as attraction.

He waved it off as though that was all it was. It was simply being attracted to his beautiful employee. A common trope, he supposed, but nothing dangerous.

Recently though, as he’d gotten to know you more and more, that warmth was becoming something softer. If he could run it through his fingers, he knew it would feel like silk.

He was still trying to figure out what this was. He was racking his brain, trying to see if he could remember something like this.

Then, as your lips curled around a word which was left unspoken while you read, he was struck with an urge.

He wanted to kiss you. Not like he’d imagined before where it would be hard and rough, with clothes coming off.

No, he wanted to kiss you.

He wanted to cup your jaw and tilt your head up. The want was to look into your eyes and then pull you close. He yearned to press his lips against yours, soft and lingering.

Were your lips as soft as they looked? Would you make a soft noise? How would your tongue feel teasing against his?

He tore his eyes from you. He looked down at the papers in front of him.

Those sort of thoughts were dangerous.

Dangerous for himself because that would give him something to lose. Jinx was already enough. It was dangerous for you because you would have a target placed upon your back.

This needed to stop.

He put an end to visiting your office. He stopped speaking to you when you visited his unless directly spoken to. He made his words short and curt.

He needed to separate himself from you before he did something he couldn’t take back, not after.

You felt the change. You noticed it instantly. You brushed it off at first. Perhaps he was just having a bad couple of days. However, as it continued on, it couldn’t help but feel personal.

What happened?

You had a rather nice, comfortable relationship with Silco and now it was suddenly upended?

A part of you laughed at yourself. You really thought the niceties would last? You thought you could be important to the kingpin of the Undercity?

How could you be so naive? So utterly stupid?

You took the hints. You began to retreat. You stayed in your office.

It was empty in there. You’d come to have a warmth in the air because you knew once a day, Silco would find his way in. Now it was cold.

“You’re getting harsh on my girl,” Sevika said one day. “Why?”

Silco flipped the page to the other side. “I don’t know what it is you’re talking about, Sevika.”

“Yeah, bullshit,” she said. “You go in her office every day for five months and she’s doing the same thing in yours. Now, all of a sudden, she asks me if she did something wrong and you’re always cooped up in here. You’re telling me you’re not being hard on her?”

Silco continued to ignore Sevika. Even though his pen halted for a moment.

You were worried you had done something wrong? To the point of going to Sevika? His stomach turned.

Sevika walked up to the desk. She placed her hand down on it with enough force his ashtray jumped up.

“Why?” she asked.

He finally dignified her by letting his eyes turn up. “I am her employer, not friend.”

Sevika gritted her teeth before a wide, harsh smile crawled across her face. “Oh, so that’s what this is about,” she said. “Okay.”

Silco raised his right brow.

“You caught feelings,” she stated. “Yeah? Doesn’t give you an excuse to be an ass. Our line of work is dangerous. Doesn’t matter what her relationship is with you, she’s gonna have a target on her back regardless, just like me, just like Ren, just like Jinx.”

His lip twitched slightly at the mention of Jinx. Sevika expected as much. That’s part of why she did it.

“Do us all a favor,” she said as she yanked open the door, “just get this over with and fuck already.”

She didn’t slam the door. She didn’t have a death wish despite what she’s just done. The display left her blood and skin jittery. She needed a smoke.

Nothing changed over the course of the next couple days, other than the fact that Silco was extra snippy with his second in command.

You were supposed to close the door and go back to your office. That had been the script for the past couple weeks. Instead, you took a step into the room and closed the door behind you.

“Should I put in my weeks or wait until you fire me?” you asked.

Silco halted. His pen slipped in his grasp. His eyes turned to you. “Why would I fire you?”

“I don’t know,” you answered. “I’ve been trying to figure it out. Did I overstep? Was it something I did? Something I said? You’ve been avoiding me and I don’t know why.”

“I haven’t been avoiding you,” he said.

“Well, you certainly have been avoiding something then!” you exclaimed. “Is it me? My office? The work I do? I’m confused and I can’t keep doing this. I can’t keep dancing around you without even knowing the steps I’m supposed to take.”

“You don’t need to dance around me.”

“Well it sure feels like it. So am I quitting or are you biting the bullet and firing me?”

“You’re not getting fired. Stop being dramatic.”

“Okay.”

You rocked back and forth on your heels. You wrung your hands in front of your torso. Your jaw clenched and unclenched.

“Then I quit,” you said even though it pained you to do so.

“You’re not quitting,” Silco said.

“Well, why not?”

Silco stood. For the first time in nearly a year, you felt the full effect of the Eye of Zaun. He was imposing and demanded attention.

Maybe you had a death wish though or maybe you were just really stupid because you weren’t scared.

“Because I am not upset with you.”

“Then what are you?”

He rounded the desk. His hand reached for your own. He stopped where your nails had begun to dig into your skin.

His head bowed down. You could feel his breath against your own. His eyes darted down. You wetted your lips. He met your gaze.

He tilted his head. Your eyes began to flutter. For a second you thought. . . But he pulled back. He looked you over once more.

His hand traveled to your elbow. His knuckles grazed your torso. He let them trail down. His hand wrapped around your waist. He used it to guide you closer to him.

Then his lips met yours.

Idrc what the Matrix is. Has anyone licked it. What does it taste like.

C.O.G.S. Reply: Taste Testing the Matrix 🤔🍴

👀 Alright, alright... Here's the scoop 👀

Thank you for your inquiry! 🫡 After an exhaustive, and totally scientific, review of historical, mythological, and speculative records regarding the Matrix of Leadership, the C.O.G.S. team has determined the following:

Has anyone licked the Matrix?

…There is no confirmed documentation of a direct lick. However, given the number of suspicious "handling accidents", we cannot officially rule it out. 🤨🔬

In the spirit of scientific inquiry, we did reach out to the staff of Rodimus Prime for clarification. Unfortunately, our polite request to conduct "direct experimental taste testing in the name of the greater good" was vetoed immediately by a multitude of Senior Archivists on grounds of "basic dignity" and "risk of spontaneous narrative consequences."

BUT (because we never back down from a challenge 💪), we took the next best route: the power of hypothetical scenarios. Here’s a taste ranking of what we think the Matrix might maybe possibly taste like:

Metallic-y & Charged ⚡️ - Our first guess. No surprise here, considering the Matrix’s techy vibe. Impromptu experiments and a thorough cross examination of resulting notes has reached the consensus among us interns that licking a battery or a very dignified piece of silverware would be the closest comparison.

Almonds - After compiling insights from various sources (including our invaluable human archaeology contact, Elena Wallace, who informs us that taste testing is a genuine method of fossil identification), we decided to put forward a vote for an almond flavored Matrix. This is based on reports from organic archeologist that so-called 'fossils' occasionally take on such a taste.

Low-grade Engex - This hypothesis came to the C.O.G.S team in a rare moment of inspiration following contact with the Archive bureaucracy. After presenting our query to the higher ups, one studious bot up a Mecha Resources asked what grade of engex we were drinking. Thus, we took an experimental angle and approached the question following the use of various grades. The low-grade test group was the only one left with readable notes.

Keep in mind, this is all theory... But if you ever find yourself with a piece of the Matrix in hand and a very brave glossa 🤨👅... Let us know how it goes! C.O.G.S. takes no responsibility for any future Matrix-licking initiatives inspired by this post.

We hope this clarifies your curiosity! Feel free to submit additional scientifically-questionable questions at any time. 🔎📝

— C.O.G.S., documenting the important stuff since...well, at least since Tuesday.

YOOOO NICE JOB WITH THE RED FANFIC!!!! I'M HAPPY YOU STARTED WRITING FOR NEPTUNIA NOW!!!

If you're taking requests, would it be okay to ask for a Vert one? I imagine being the only CPU without a sister is lonely and I wanna fix that 😎😎😎

-🕰️ Anon

THANK YOU!!!! Now that I'm done with Re;Birth 2, I can officially say Vert is one of my favorites of the cast ^^ here you go!

Vert x Lowee Oracle Reader - Taking What's Not Yours

In which you grab the attention of a certain lusty, possessive CPU. You won't mind if she steals you away, right? :)

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Becoming the Oracle for Lowee turned out to be much more fun than you expected. Sure, there was a decent workload, and the twins often stole important documents... which mysteriously wound up back at your desk with colorful scribbles on them. But you enjoyed your position at the Lowee Basilicom nonetheless.

Vert did not share the same sentiment.

"I've traveled for so long just to visit you. Can't you put down the paperwork already?" Her pink lips pouted at you as she leaned in closer.

When you first met, you flushed in embarrassment and averted your eyes at the sight of her leaning forward. After all, the angle made her... you-know-where extra visible. Surely she didn't realize what she was doing, right? It would be rude to stare at an innocent woman like that. Especially one of such high status.

After several of her visits, though... Yeah. She knew what she was doing; you were sure of it. With each meeting, her advances grew more and more apparent. First, there were kind words and gentle, innocent-seeming touches. Then, they progressed to flirty remarks. Her chest pressing into your arm as she held onto it. Before you knew it, she even adopted numerous pet names for you. Her favorite was—

"Did you receive the gift I sent you, my beloved?" You looked up from your paperwork to lock eyes with her. She peered at you expectantly.

"Oh, right. Um, what is it supposed to be exactly?" Although you had opened the present delivered to you earlier, the contents puzzled you. The clothing inside looked oddly similar to what you were currently wearing, yet it had green details on it instead. And the words "Vert's property" etched on the inside.

"Well, I was thinking about our future together, and..." She leaned in further, pressing her warmth deeper into your skin. "You should come work for me instead. I mean, it's better than working here with that flat-chested shorty, isn't it?" She batted her eyes at you.

"What was that, you thieving bitch?!"

The two of your heads turned. Uh oh. Apparently, Blanc had decided to take a break from reading and, instead, walked in at the worst moment possible.

"See, darling? Listen to how immature she is. I, on the other hand, am incredibly mature. Both mentally and physically, as you can see." She continued to flaunt her body, a regular habit of hers.

"Vert..." You smiled nervously at her. Honestly, as much as you loved Lowee, the thought of switching roles excited you just as much. Getting so much attention from a woman like her was... well, you would be lying if you said she wasn't your type. If you did actually say that out loud, though, you're certain Blanc would kill you on the spot.

"Grr, enough with the lovey-dovey act! You have your own damn Oracle, so quit trying to steal mine." She snarled at you two.

Vert's demeanor remained smug, condescension oozing from her fake smile. "I see your brain's just as small as the rest of your body. You still don't understand, do you?" Her fingers intertwined with yours.

"They already belong to me."

In a rush, Vert's hand tightly grasped yours as she pulled you outside of the Basilicom. Before you or Blanc could process her actions, she'd already dragged you all the way out into the bustling street. A look of determination coated her blue eyes.

"We're almost at the train station, my beloved." Indeed, as you looked up ahead, you quickly spotted the aforementioned location. You couldn't help but wonder if its proximity was a part of her plan all along.

Once you two successfully entered the train, you stopped to catch your breath. Turns out being an Oracle doesn't train your lung capacity much. She looked at you with sympathetic eyes, before rubbing your back and guiding you towards a set of empty seats.

"There, there. Why don't you rest your head on my lap? I'm sure you're exhausted."

"I'm fine, but... what about my job? I can't just abandon my role as Lowee's Oracle like that." You attempted to deny her offer. Yet, as she gently cradled your head and guided it downwards, you wound up resting on her supple thighs anyway.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I'm sure they'll find someone else to hire in no time." Her palm moved back and forth over your head, gently lulling you into a peaceful sleep.

As she looked down at you, she smiled to herself. Look at you, being so precious and vulnerable. It hurt her heart to think about how much you must've suffered, being forced to work so hard by that rude, little demon. It's okay now, though. She'll treat you so, so well.

And in return... you won't mind wearing cosplays for her, right?

A Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting a Compelling Storyline

I'll warn you, this is a long one. I kind of took 'comprehensive guide' a little too seriously.

You have a fantastic concept burning at the edges of your imagination, a collection of characters whispering their stories to you, and a world just waiting to be explored. But how do you weave all these elements into a story that grips readers and refuses to let go? The answer lies in effective plot planning.

A well-crafted plot isn't just a sequence of events; it's a carefully orchestrated symphony that takes readers on an unforgettable ride. Whether you're an experienced writer or someone trying to start their first book, here are my personal steps to crafting a compelling storyline with good plot planning. 

Step 1: Idea Generation and Conceptualization

Every great story begins with a spark of inspiration. It's that moment when an idea ignites in your mind and beckons you to explore its potential. The journey from a fleeting thought to a fully-fledged concept is an exhilarating one, and it all starts with idea generation and conceptualization.

Techniques for Idea Generation

Mind Mapping

Grab a piece of paper or use a digital tool to create a mind map. Write your central idea in the middle and branch out with related concepts, characters, themes, and settings. Mind mapping can help you visualize the connections and possibilities within your idea.

Bullet journalling

Bullet journalling is my personal favourite way to generate ideas for your WIP. Get a piece of paper or open a Word/Docs document and create three different sections: world, characters, and plot. Now add facts to each of those sections that you've come up with so far. 

You can even go a step ahead and create more detailed sections, for example, you could do this for your different characters or different places in your world. Usually, one bullet point leads to the next and once you have an idea of everything you've already established you'll naturally start adding more to it. 

Blurting

Talk to someone about your WIP, or pretend that you're talking to someone and write down everything that comes to mind. You can even use AI tools like ChatGPT and ask it to hold a conversation with you about your WIP. Tell it to ask you questions along the way, this will get the wheels turning and even help fill plot holes. 

Prompts and Challenges

Explore writing prompts or challenges to spark your creativity. Websites, books, or even random word generators can provide the nudge you need to generate fresh ideas. 

Refining Your Concept

Once you have a collection of ideas, it's time to refine and shape them into a cohesive concept.

Identify Themes

What themes or messages do you want to convey through your story? Is it a tale of redemption, the power of friendship, or the consequences of ambition? Pinpointing your core themes will guide your storytelling and also give you a clear image of the end goal. 

Find Your Angle

Consider what makes your idea unique. How can you approach a familiar concept from a fresh perspective? For example, if you're doing a classic murder mystery, what makes your book different from others? Take some time to look up titles similar to your WIP and find any repetitive themes/patterns. 

Maybe most murder mysteries end with the partner being the killer, or maybe the fantasy books written in the same mythology as your WIP's all involve a war. Knowing what is currently a popular trend in the market can give you a clear idea of where you can be different from comparable titles. This is especially important for genres like horror and romance. 

Develop a Premise

Your premise is the foundation of your story. It's the "what if?" question that drives your narrative. For instance, "What if an ordinary high school student discovers they have the ability to control time?" You need to have a solid premise before you even think about writing your story. 

Step 2: Character Development and Motivation

Characters are the beating heart of your story, and crafting them with depth and authenticity is key to creating a narrative that truly captivates. Your characters often leave more of a lasting impact on your readers than the plot itself. 

Think of it this way: a good plot will get you readers, but memorable characters will get you fans.  Some of the largest communities in the book space all run on the readers' fondness for certain characters rather than the story itself. Yes, your story and the way you tell it is very important, but nobody wants to listen to the story of a boring person. 

Bringing Characters to Life

Personal Histories

Delve into your characters' pasts. What experiences shaped them into who they are today? A traumatic childhood or a life-changing event can influence their motivations and behaviours. Maybe your antagonist has a soft spot for single parents because their mother was the only person who cared for them. Maybe the love interest seems like a sunshine character because they feel the need to always seem put-together and perfect.  

Physical Traits

This might sound obvious enough, after all a character's appearance is the first thing people think of when visualising, however, many authors fail to have a clear image of their character's physical traits which can lead to inconsistent or boring descriptions. Sure, your protagonist can have bushy hair and brown eyes, but what else? 

Think about their body type, height, fashion sense, the way they carry themselves, walk, and sound. Do they have a random mole at the back of their neck? Do they always smell like a certain perfume because their dead father gifted it to them? It's important for you to have a clear image of who you're writing.

Strengths and Flaws

Just like real people, characters have strengths and weaknesses. These traits affect their decisions and interactions. A courageous hero might also struggle with recklessness, adding complexity to their personality. It's easy to create 2D characters by using tropes or shallow descriptions 'an all-powerful villain' 'the chosen one who trained their whole life and is perfect', but 3D characters are what will actually catch your readers' attention. 

There's a reason why people often love the grey characters, the anti-heroes or anti-villains. Those who have complex personalities that make them seem human. This makes us empathise with the characters, and as a writer, it also helps you think of your characters as real people with flaws and problems. 

Motivations: The Why Behind the What

Goals and Desires

What do your characters want? Their goals drive the plot forward. A detective's desire to solve a mystery or a scientist's quest for a groundbreaking discovery sets the narrative in motion. Why is your protagonist doing what they are doing? 

You could simply give yourself a generic answer like 'they want to save the people' or 'they're a good person' but this can lead to confusion in the long run. If as the writer you yourself can't understand your character's goals it will get very hard to showcase them to your readers. Try to pick apart each character and genuinely consider why they are the way they are. 

Inner Conflicts

Characters often grapple with inner turmoil – the clash between their desires, values, and fears. This inner conflict adds layers of intrigue and reliability. Maybe your protagonist realises the antagonist's qualms with the government are actually valid and suffers from moral conflicts as they contemplate whether or not they are the 'good guy'. Inner conflict adds dimension to your characters which in turn makes it easier for your readers to empathise with them. 

Step 3: Outlining the Key Plot Points

Now that you have a clear idea of what you want to write and who you want to write it with, it's time to consider the how. You have a story, but how do you want to tell it? Break down the key plot points that shape your narrative, creating a roadmap that guides your characters through their trials and triumphs.

The Building Blocks of Plot

The Inciting Incident

The spark that ignites your story. It's the moment when your protagonist's world is disrupted, setting them on a path of change. For example, in "The Hunger Games," Katniss Everdeen's sister being chosen for the Games is the inciting incident that propels her into the arena. 

This can be a little harder to recognise in genres outside of SFF and horror. For a thriller novel, this moment could be the moment your protagonist uncovers a sketchy detail in their relative's death. In romance, it could be the moment your protagonist is introduced to the love interest.  

Turning Points

These are pivotal moments that shift the course of your narrative. They introduce new challenges, reveal secrets, or force characters to make crucial decisions. Think of them as the gears that keep your story machine turning. It's important to have some sort of turning point in your story to keep things interesting. 

Maybe the character your protagonist was suspecting throughout the first half of the book ends up having a solid alibi, or a seemingly innocent character suddenly seems sketchy. 

The Climax

The peak of tension and conflict. It's the moment your characters face their biggest challenge and must make their ultimate choice. In "The Lord of the Rings," the climactic battle at Mount Doom decides the fate of Middle-earth. In a murder mystery, this can be the moment the real killer is unveiled, or in a rom-com, it could be when the love interest moves to a new city to follow the protagonist. 

Falling Action and Resolution

As your story winds down, the falling action ties up loose ends and provides closure. Readers witness the aftermath of the climax, and the characters' arcs find resolution. This is the bit where you make sure you aren't leaving any plot holes behind. Remember that random character your protagonist suspected at the start of the book? What's their alibi, why did they suddenly get out of the picture? 

Structuring Plot Points

Introduction of Stakes

Introduce what your characters stand to gain or lose early on. This creates a sense of urgency that propels them forward. What if your protagonist fails to complete their missions? What if the detective never unveils the killer's identity? What if your protagonist doesn't win over the love interest? Show your readers the worst possible outcome early on so they know why they should be rooting for your protagonist. 

This doesn't necessarily have to be something big or scary. In Harry Potter, many of us wanted Harry to stay at Hogwarts because his life with the Dursleys was cruel and he deserved happiness. That was a small yet significant stake that made the readers empathetic and silently root for Harry. 

Foreshadowing and Setup

Plant seeds of future events throughout your story. Foreshadowing builds anticipation and adds depth, making later plot developments more satisfying. I have written a lot of blogs that either cover or briefly mention foreshadowing so I'm going to keep this point a little short. 

Foreshadowing helps your readers slowly piece everything together and have that 'I knew it!' or 'how did I not see this coming?' moment. It might also encourage them to turn back and reread your work to focus on the little hints you left throughout the book. Foreshadowing is especially important in murder mysteries. 

Step 4: Subplots and Secondary Storylines

Subplots and secondary storylines are the secret ingredients that transform a good story into an unforgettable masterpiece. They add layers of intrigue, provide character development opportunities, and keep readers eagerly turning pages. If you're confused about what is a subplot and how to create one you can visit my previous blog that focuses on this topic. 

The Role of Subplots

Enriching Character Arcs

Subplots allow secondary characters to shine. They can showcase different facets of your characters' personalities, revealing their strengths, weaknesses, growth, and relationships.

Theme Reinforcement

Subplots can explore and reinforce your story's themes from various angles. For instance, a romantic subplot can underscore the theme of love and sacrifice, in turn making your protagonist’s heroic death at the end of the novel seem more impactful. We all know Pepper’s reaction to Tony’s death in End Game made the moment more emotional. 

While creating subplots and considering which one might be relevant to your book you should think of how this subplot would impact your end goal and whether it would help emotionally connect with your readers. 

Parallel Journeys

Subplots can create parallel journeys that mirror or contrast with the main plot. This dynamic adds depth and resonance to your storytelling. Maybe the antagonist’s assistant has a similar backstory to your protagonist but while the protagonist was rescued by the government they were taken in by the antagonist. As the two geniuses face each other your protagonist can’t help but consider whether they would still be fighting for the ‘good’ side had their roles been switched.  

Balancing The Main Plot and Subplots

Interconnectedness

Subplots shouldn't feel disconnected from the main plot. Instead, they should interact and influence each other, creating a harmonious narrative flow. Your subplot could help bring a satisfactory end to a certain arc of your story, or it could sow the roots for the important climactic moment of your book. 

Pacing and Tension

Strategically introduce subplots to maintain pacing and tension. They can provide moments of relief or heightened drama, enhancing the overall reading experience.

Character Integration

Ensure that characters involved in subplots maintain relevance to the main plot. Their actions and decisions should contribute to the overarching story, even as they pursue their own paths. You should also think about whether or not your character is overshadowing the protagonist. In Harry Potter there were several characters such as Ginny, Luna and Neville with subplots and backstories of their own, however, they never overshadowed Harry’s tale. 

Step 5: Crafting Scenes and Sequences

Welcome to the realm where the magic truly comes to life – crafting scenes that resonate, captivate, and propel your story forward. Scenes are the building blocks of your narrative, each one a window into your characters' world and emotions. They help infuse your story with tension, emotion, and unforgettable moments. 

Again, this is a topic I’ve covered separately in another blog so I won’t go into too much detail here. 

Scene Structure and Elements

Objective and Conflict

Every scene should have a purpose – a clear objective that drives the characters. Introduce conflict that challenges their goals and motivations, creating tension that keeps readers engaged.

Emotion and Stakes

Characters' emotions are the heartbeats of scenes. Amplify emotions by highlighting what's at stake for the characters. Whether it's a heated argument or a tender moment, emotions draw readers in.

Sequences: Crafting a Flow

Cause and Effect

Scenes connect through cause and effect. Each scene's outcome sets the stage for the next, creating a seamless flow that propels the narrative. A character's choice in one scene can reverberate and shape subsequent events.

Rising Action

Craft sequences with escalating tension. The stakes should intensify, drawing characters deeper into challenges and dilemmas. This creates a sense of anticipation that keeps readers eagerly turning pages.

Step 6: Mapping the Journey: Creating a Visual Plot Outline

Visualising your plot, characters, and world can be very hard sometimes. Let's be honest, words can only do so much and if you don't have a clear idea of what you want to show your readers you can end up going down a path of 'telling' them everything. This can take away from the point of your story and end up boring your readers. If you find it hard to visualise where you're going with your book, here are some tips that can help. 

Visual Tools for Plot Planning

Timelines and Flowcharts

Create a timeline that outlines the sequence of major events, from inciting incidents to resolution. Flowcharts visually depict the interconnectedness of plot points, making it easy to track the evolution of your story. You can also cut out or add bits depending on how far along you are. This will also help you keep track of what scene/development should be introduced when and why. 

Index Cards or Post-Its

Write down key scenes, plot developments, and character arcs on individual index cards or sticky notes. Arrange and rearrange them on a board or wall to visualize the narrative's flow. You can also do this if you're confused about the climax of your novel by adding different ideas to the post-its and putting them alongside the rest of the book's plot to see what things would look like from a reader's perspective. 

Infusing Creativity

Playlists

Curate a playlist that captures the mood and emotions of your story. Music has the power to transport you to the heart of your narrative, helping you channel the right atmosphere while plotting. You can listen to this playlist every time you sit down to write WIP. With time, this will also help you overcome writer’s block since you can put on this playlist every time you struggle to get into the right writing mindset. 

Moodboards/Pinterest Boards

Create a visual feast by collecting images, aesthetics, and visuals that embody your story's essence. Platforms like Pinterest allow you to craft moodboards that serve as visual touchstones. I would recommend creating a separate pinboard for every character so you can get a clear idea of their vibe and appearance. You can even refer to these every time you're writing about or from the perspective of a new character. 

Step 7: Flexibility and Adaptability

As you embark on your writing journey, remember that stories have a life of their own. Embracing flexibility and adaptability is your compass through uncharted territories.

Allow characters to surprise you, let plots pivot, and themes emerge. Balancing structure with spontaneity ensures a dynamic narrative that resonates deeply. Listen to your characters, explore ethical complexities, and evolve alongside your story.

By staying open to the unexpected, you infuse your writing with authenticity and richness. Your plot outline is a guide, but your characters and themes have the power to shape the course. Embrace the unpredictable, and watch your story flourish beyond your imagination.

Head over heels obsessed with bf Matty and I’m scavenging for any lore crumbs… you know… if you want to share…

wish i could share my document with all the notes about this au but it’s a total mess lol. here are some bits tho:

young girlie has known matty for a while and has always had a small crush on him because she finds him extremely cute. but it isn’t until 2005 when she got assigned to tutor him that she actually gets to really know him.

there was this time girlie was working so hard to get him up to speed on some maths because he had an extremely important exam coming up. he ended up (barely) passing but they were so happy he didn’t fail that as a “reward” she let him skip tutoring session that day. instead they snuck out, matty doing everything to get her to not freak out, and ended up at a park where she finds out he smokes. when he asks if she’s done it she shakes her head and when he asks if she wants to try, she nods eagerly because she wants to impress him. only she ends up choking and coughing nonstop, leading to matty talking her through it very slowly and carefully which flusters her to no end. even though she rarely has cigarettes, she always thinks about that ocassion.

they have definitely drunk kissed on new years when neither of them were dating and hann captured that moment on 2011 going into 2012. they had zero memory of it until the next morning, when they were flipping through the stack of photos and both stopped breathing when they saw it. neither could remember what actually happened. (girlie was pretty much like, bet you won't kiss me at midnite and the alcohol in matty's system told him to do otherwise.) they could barely keep eye contact after finding out they’d kissed, that same night each lying down on their bed wishing they could remember what it felt like since they hadn’t done so for about four years when matty offered to make out with her so she could practice <3

girlie tries to follow their shows and tour online because she wishes so bad she could be there. she’s so fucking happy for the boys and would love nothing more than to celebrate with them. meaning that when matty invites her to come along for 5-6 shows of their iliwys tour she loses her mind because not only does she love the album, but the set design is so dreamy that she has to make sure she sees it from every angle possible. and even though they have their own hotel rooms, it always turns to girlie and matty sharing one to spend as much time as possible with each other. part of her cannot help but be jealous when she gets a first hand look at all the attention the fan girls give matty. but tbh, he couldn’t care less, especially because girlie is there lol.

the night when they end up messing around and admit there are feelings much deeper than friendship happens in october 2019 which sucks for both of them as he has to go back on tour early november. obviously they spend the weeks they have together doing anything and everything with and to each other (apart from piv sex as she wants to wait). that night before he has to leave they don’t get any sleep as they want to savour every single second even if it means just lying there in bed, gazing at each other in silence.

Photography is no longer just about taking pictures—it’s about crafting visual stories, evoking emotions, and capturing fleeting moments in time.

Types of Photography Services

Event Photography Whether it's a wedding, a birthday party, a corporate event, or a grand celebration, event photography services capture the essence of the occasion. Professional photographers are skilled at documenting the key moments and emotions throughout the event, offering a timeless representation of the experience. From candid shots to posed portraits, event photography helps bring those special memories back to life when you look at the photographs years later.

Portrait Photography Portrait photography is all about capturing the essence of an individual or a group. Whether for family portraits, headshots, or personal branding, these services are designed to showcase the subject in their best light. Photographers focus on framing, lighting, and composition to highlight the personality of the subject, producing images that go beyond simple photos to convey deep emotions or professional appeal.

Commercial Photography Businesses rely heavily on visual representation in today’s digital world. Commercial photography services are essential for advertising, product photos, and corporate marketing. From food photography to lifestyle shots, businesses utilize professional photographers to create compelling visuals for websites, catalogs, social media, and promotional materials. A great commercial photograph can elevate a brand, create trust with consumers, and help drive sales.

Real Estate Photography Real estate photography is all about showcasing properties in their best possible light. High-quality images play a significant role in attracting potential buyers or renters. Professional photographers use various techniques such as wide-angle lenses, optimal lighting, and aerial shots (drone photography) to present a property’s most appealing aspects. For real estate agents and property owners, stunning photographs can be the difference between a quick sale and a listing that lingers.

Fashion Photography Fashion photography services are in high demand, especially with the rise of online retail and influencer culture. Whether for a fashion magazine, e-commerce, or a personal portfolio, fashion photographers capture clothing, accessories, and styling in the most flattering and creative ways. They collaborate with models, stylists, and makeup artists to create a visual narrative that resonates with the audience. From runway shots to magazine spreads, fashion photography combines artistry with marketing.

Product Photography Product photography is a key element of e-commerce and advertising. High-quality product images are vital to show customers the value of an item, making it easier for them to visualize it in their lives. Photographers specializing in product photography use careful lighting, staging, and precise editing to ensure the product looks appealing from every angle, enticing potential buyers.

Fine Art Photography Fine art photography services focus on creating images that are more about artistic expression than commercial value. Photographers working in this genre capture images that evoke emotion, challenge perspectives, or explore abstract themes. Fine art photography can be used for personal collections, galleries, or exhibitions, turning everyday scenes into breathtaking works of art.

Aerial and Drone Photography Aerial photography has seen a major rise with the advent of drones. From sweeping landscapes to stunning views of architecture and cityscapes, aerial photography offers a fresh perspective on the world. Drone photographers capture dynamic angles and wide views that would be impossible to achieve through traditional photography methods.

The Benefits of Professional Photography Services

Expertise and Quality Professional photographers bring technical expertise to the table, from understanding lighting and composition to utilizing high-end equipment. With years of training and experience, they are skilled at capturing the best moments and crafting visually stunning images. Their knowledge of editing and post-processing ensures your photos are of the highest quality.

Time and Convenience Hiring a professional photographer allows you to focus on the event or experience while they take care of capturing the important moments. You don’t have to worry about adjusting the camera or missing key shots. Professionals know how to work under pressure, ensuring that every important moment is documented.

Creative Vision Photographers bring creativity to the table, offering fresh perspectives and artistic input. Whether it’s a styled shoot, unique angles, or creative lighting techniques, they know how to make the most of any setting and turn ordinary moments into extraordinary images.

Memories for a Lifetime Photography services give you the opportunity to relive precious memories for years to come. Whether it’s a wedding, a family portrait, or a milestone event, these photos can be cherished for generations. Professional photography immortalizes moments that pass all too quickly, allowing you to savor them over time.

Why Choose Professional Photography?

While smartphones and consumer cameras may seem like an easy option, they can't replace the expertise and skill that a professional photographer offers. A professional understands how to manipulate lighting, angles, and camera settings to produce the best results. Moreover, they know how to work in different environments and situations, ensuring that your photos always look their best.

In conclusion, photography services provide an invaluable service, whether you're capturing memories, promoting a business, or creating artwork. With the right professional behind the camera, the moments you want to preserve will be immortalized in the most beautiful way possible.

Importance of Gathering Evidence After a Car Accident: A Guide for NJ Residents

If you’ve been in a car accident in New Jersey, gathering evidence on the scene can make a significant difference in the outcome of your claim. Whether you're reporting to insurance companies or consulting with the best car accident lawyer in NJ, having comprehensive evidence will ensure your rights and interests are protected.

The Immediate Aftermath of a Car Accident

Car accidents are overwhelming. In the immediate aftermath, emotions are high, and clarity can be hard to find. However, your actions during these crucial moments can have long-lasting repercussions. Knowing what steps to take immediately after an accident can set the stage for a smoother claims process.

Ensure Safety First

Before you start gathering evidence, ensure that everyone is safe. Check for injuries, call 911 if necessary, and move to a safe location if possible. Prioritizing safety will help you approach the situation more calmly and effectively.

Contact Authorities

After ensuring everyone's safety, contacting the police is essential. A police report serves as an official record of the incident, providing a reliable source of information for insurance companies and lawyers. The presence of law enforcement can also help in managing the scene and securing evidence.

Exchange Information

While waiting for the authorities, exchange information with the other driver. This includes names, addresses, phone numbers, driver's license numbers, and insurance information. Having these details will be crucial for your car accident lawyer or insurance claim down the line.

The Importance of Photographic Evidence

One of the most straightforward yet effective ways to gather evidence is through photographs. Visual records can provide indisputable proof of the accident's circumstances and consequences.

Take Photos of the Scene

Capture wide-angle shots of the entire accident scene, including vehicle positions, road conditions, traffic signs, and any skid marks or debris. These photos can help reconstruct the accident and clarify how it happened.

Photograph Vehicle Damage

Close-up photos of vehicle damage can be particularly telling. Document any dents, scratches, broken glass, and other visible damage from multiple angles. These images can serve as concrete evidence for your insurance claim or legal case.

Capture Injuries

If you or any passengers sustained injuries, take photographs as soon as possible. Visual evidence of physical harm is compelling and can support medical records and personal testimony.

Eyewitness Accounts

Witness testimonies can provide an unbiased perspective on the accident. If there are bystanders who witnessed the incident, their accounts can be invaluable.

Collect Contact Information

Ask any witnesses for their names and contact information. This makes it easier for your car accident lawyer to follow up and gather detailed statements later on.

Record Statements

If possible, record brief statements from witnesses at the scene. Use your smartphone to capture their accounts while the memory is fresh. These immediate testimonies can provide critical insights and corroborate your version of events.

Importance of Medical Records

Seeking medical attention promptly after an accident is crucial, even if injuries seem minor. Medical records can substantiate your claims of injury and link them directly to the accident.

Visit a Doctor Immediately

Even if you feel fine, visit a doctor as soon as possible. Some injuries, like whiplash or concussions, may not manifest symptoms immediately but can have long-term effects. Documenting your visit ensures that any injuries are formally recorded.

Keep All Medical Documentation

Save all medical records, bills, and treatment plans. These documents can provide a clear picture of the extent of your injuries and the associated costs, which are essential for personal injury claims.

The Role of a Car Accident Lawyer

An experienced car accident lawyer can significantly impact the outcome of your case. They can guide you through the legal complexities and ensure you receive fair compensation.

Consult Early

Contacting a car accident lawyer early can help preserve evidence and build a strong case. Lawyers can advise you on what additional evidence might be needed and how to obtain it effectively.

Legal Expertise

Motor vehicle accident lawyers have the expertise to analyze evidence, interview witnesses, and negotiate with insurance companies. Their knowledge can help maximize your compensation and protect your rights.

Contingency Basis

Many personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. This arrangement allows you to seek expert legal help without the burden of upfront fees.
