#it realy sounds like endgame

[brsb4hls]

Two more positive review snippets from authors who picked up on the Loki/Sylvie vibes

Outside of tumblr that is actually a thing ;)

And it makes me wonder where they'll take it.

[not-close-to-straight]

So i want to write a fanfic and i have the plot but every time i want to expand it I can't and all I end up with is new fanfic ideas if this is writers life I don't want it any way I need help can you please give me writing tips cuz I realy like you writing and thank you

I am a big believer in writing at the stories own pace, and not trying to force it to do what you want to do

Meaning::

Outline? What outline? We throw words at paper and celebrate incomplete sentences like a BOSS. This is what my outlines look like::

{not to be a square but i don’t really wanna deal with one night stands so don’t bring girls here

not really my scene

What bars or girls?

Both

ah...(weird gay silence.) alright then. well just see how it goes then, alright?

yep}

There is such a thing as “his heart was pounding, head throbbing, breath coming hard (Wait did that sound like a sex thing? Look up synonyms for hard breathing)” because sometimes we get weighed down by stupid things like finding the exact right word at the time and it can get really frustrating really fast. Put parentheses where you need to fix it and move on

If I am working on one fic (ie My Snow White au) but literally cannot get a specific scene/trope/line out of my head I usually try to incorporate that into the story. For example, literally two years ago I was writing my “Frost” fic and Tony has powers in it and I was SO MAD that I didn’t really know the words/have the right place to put in a scene where we really got to see his powers in play? So I jotted it down and here I am writing the Snow White AU and FINALLY getting to use that scene

Don’t be afraid to stop and jot down scenes from potential other fics. I have a whole “idea Doc” that looks like I word vomited random bullshit (which is exactly what I did) but since the ideas are down on paper, at least they are out of my head

Let the fic go where it wants to. Oh, you thought it was “this” pairing but now it’s “this” pairing? LET IT HAPPEN. Wait, what is happening now? Broken hearts? FUN put it in there. WHAT THIS CHARACTER WANTS TO DO WHAT IN BED? Ok well I’m gonna watch research some porn and figure out if people can actually bend like that and make it work.

Pirates Heart (my best story ever) was originally twenty chapters long and it ended up over 45 because any time the characters wanted to do something (like hide away on an island), I let them. And then what? Thor made an appearance? Awesome. Threechapters later, they haven’t left the island and it’s fine.

On the same note, not all fic has to be epic adventures and intense emotions. You can’t get a short, funny scene out of your head? Throw it up there anyway. That’s literally what my entire Sunday’s with Spideypool collection is.

And if something isn’t working? Move on to something else and leave it alone. Try making a list of Headcanons for it. Like I have a whole list of EndGame HCs that I sort of want to write but probably never will and it looks like:

—EndGame Family Dinners

—aunty natasha for reasons

—talking about Steves recovery and moving forward

—playing zoom with Morgan

That’s it. I mean there’s a much longer list but basically? That’s my entire thing. And maybe I’ll come back to it and write, maybe I won’t.

Some stories just aren’t meant to be (I have literally billions of those) and that’s okay too. If it’s just a thought that makes you smile? Then the idea served its purpose, right?

(If this is Terrible advice and all else fails? take a shower because for whatever reason? Fic ideas always spring up on me in the shower.)

[ouathinktank-metacommentary]

I agree with your last anon, that level of analysis is always appreciated, especially since critical part of the fandom either left (to do actual activist work?) or became weirdly personal (spitting bile at actors, based on ridiculous assumptions). But I disagree with their assessment of "wishful thinkers". They are not naive. Queer narrative analysis doesn't simply equal "endgame!", there's much more there. Sounds like anon didn't read too much before putting them all in the same box?

Well, it’s not really our thing to address that here, butisn’t that what everyone’s doing–putting people in boxes, then putting labelson boxes regardless of content, then argue over the labels? I mean, we here wereimmediately dubbed as ‘haters’ because we rejected some random dude as Regina’sLI, those who were loud on twitter about rapeculture in Captain Swan were ‘badapples’, everyone shipping Swan Queen was a man-hating lesbian (yeah, I know–it’sfunny, in a… really ironic, sad and moronic kind of way) and similarly–everyoneanalyzing queer narrative in Once Upon a Time is still being dismissed as ‘delusional’?

It rather sounds like some people in this fandom acceptedwhat’s being thrown at us from all sides in our lives–gaslighting, to the pointthat we now gaslight each other? Also, dismissing on merits of… well, thelabel on the box? So I guess… *shrug* If Anon believes that ‘wishful thinkers’(which I assume by saying ‘dumb’ they probably meant the DP bunch?) are naive,then I can only hope that it’s because they… scratched the surface in order toconfirm their suspicions? Or if not, they can perhaps still address the content directly at the source andthrough hopefully constructive conversation–they can see if they can find somelogic, reason and level-headedness there, too? Because the least that we cansay is that, yeah–while you simply can’t talk to that first group that theymention, the ‘industry insighters’ (who ‘call people gross and stupid if theydisagree’ like typical tyrants, because of their general arrogance, patronizing stance and over-inflatedegos basically, and yeah, we know that really well–they tried to bully us too, rallying theircliques and all) I’m sure the DP bunch would love you to challenge theirtheories, on the other hand? By addressing to any of the specifics rather than…mislabeling them as naive and dismissing as delusional based on… face value, realy? ‘Cause as far as we here know, not everyone there is in the same‘endgame’ brigade, but they’ve all been getting the brunt end of… some reallymisplaced rage. Of those angry at the show and the showrunners, really. Notthe actors or… least of all other fans, for ‘selling people false hope’. Peopleare basically just coming into an old fractioned fandom and have accepted allthese barriers that don’t reflect what’s actually there, you know?

And if some feel validated in their experiencesthrough that queer reading of the show that the ‘wishful thinkers’ seem tofacilitate, then who are we to deny them that right?
