Which script blog can I get information from about how a character should identify based on their nationality? The internet hasn't been helping me and I was wondering if there were any experts on the topic or if you could point me to any other blogs that could help?

Your question is a little vague. What do you mean by “identify”? Are you referring to what they call themselves like “I’m American/German/British”?

Depending on what nationality your character is, @scriptbrit @scriptaussie @scriptgerman or @scriptcanuck might be able to help you.

@writingwithcolor may also be able to help you as they have many mods of many nationalities.

If you need, feel free to resubmit with a bit of clarification 

[scripttorture]

is it bothersome to ask for a masterpost on script blogs? i would love to find more! thank you for running this blog!

So the most recent list of Script blogs is on @scriptshrink‘s blog here:

http://scriptshrink.tumblr.com/post/160528013085/the-scriptx-family-as-of-51017

Looking over it there have been some changes since that was posted. We’ve all been quite busy and haven’t updated it for a while. 

Both scriptsoldier and scriptaussie left the family. 

Scriptpolitics and scripteconomist are both on indefinite hiatus- unfortunately real life commitments made it impossible for them to keep the blogs running. Their blogs are archived though and the information is still available.

I’ll talk to the family about getting a more up to date list put together. Hopefully one of us will have time over the holidays.

I just discovered a super helpful resource for all my people doing research while developing realistic story settings/character details/places in the story/etc!

These accounts answer every question about their respective field, e.g. professions, countries or subjects:

@scriptpharmacist @scriptastronomer @scriptsoldier @scriptlawyer @scriptflorist @scriptmedic @scripthistory @scriptchemist @scriptlibrarian @scriptlgbt @scriptfoodie @scriptveterinarian @scriptshrink @scriptaussie @scriptbrit @scriptbrainscientist @scriptgenetics @scriptmyth @scripthacker

And a blog that features several script blogs:

@scriptfeature

(There are much more, feel free to message me if you have a script anything blog and I’ll add you to the list!)

[scriptfeature]

As @scriptaussie is now gone, do you have any other Aussie resource blogs I could follow? It’s pretty significant knowledge to my stories

I do not, but you could try the NaNoWriMo forums? They seem to have quite an international contingent of users, so you could probably find one or two Aussies to chat with about anything relevant to your story (just keep in mind that the site does an annual clear out of posts on the forums, so back up any information you need to keep! Private messages on the system though are not deleted unless you do so yourself, so it may pay to make friends through a thread or two and do a lot of PMing)Also, I think @asynca is a user who’s from that region and may be able to help? She’s pretty good about responding messages - so long as tumblr doesn’t eat the ask, which it has a tendency to do lately. (Not sure how work-safe or not that blog is though, so keep that in mind before clicking through!)

In the meantime, keep an eye on the notes of this post in case anybody reblogs it with a recommendation! :)

ScriptX Family Weekly Update

2/8/2017

Hey guys, and welcome back. 

Announcements

@scripthistory has reached over 1000 followers!

This blog also reached over 1,000 followers this week.

@scriptshrink has reached over 2,000 followers and revealed the blog’s mascot, Brainy. Go check the post out here.

@scriptkink is currently on hiatus due to personal reason. She thanks you for your patience.

Featured Posts

Alien First Aid

So your character just watched a shooting star actually land. Your character decides to go check it out and what do you know, there’s an alien inside. Also, your character is pretty sure the alien is injured. So how is your character going to keep this thing alive without taking it to a doctor, because, well government experiments and all. @scriptveterinarian should have you covered.

A Beautiful Mind

In a world where humans can upload their minds, how might that work? That’s the topic @scripthacker answers in this post. Lotus discusses what a “digital person” would be, and how it could feasibly work.

Keeping an Open Mind

Telepathy! A lot of people think it would be a cool power. The problem is when you’re autistic and hyper-empathetic or tend to get overloaded, hearing people’s thoughts is not helpful. @scriptautistic gives some ideas as to how an autistic person could manage this common super power.

How the Corps Rank Up

@scriptsailor received an ask about how the ranks in the military compare to each other. It’s a brief post, but it’s informative. Go check it out.

The Burbs

So down under, there’s a thing called swooping season. Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” seems like just another Tuesday. @scriptaussie talks about some of the common birds that swoop.

Two At the Ballet

Your character is at practice with his bae. They're both excellent dancers. They've both played lead roles multiple times before, though not together. Then the instructor comes in and places the role sign up sheet on the wall. Your character goes to check out the sheets. He reads the roles.

“Lead Male 1: a passionate man, trying to find a way to be with his lover.

“Lead Male 2: a powerful man, the second lover…”

Finally, the perfect part for him and his boyfriend. ( @scriptballerina )

Growing Old Together

In the 1700s and 1800s, homosexuality was a more private thing because people like to have friends. Your character happens to be one of those people who likes to have friends. I'm summarizing this ask severely, but that's why you should check out @scripthistory ‘s post.

Ask Box Statuses

@scriptkink currently has the ask box closed due to hiatus.

New Family

No new family this week. Though, knowing how things go, there’s bound to be more at some point.

And that’s it for this week. See you next week, and this is you’re host signing off.

ScriptX Family Weekly Update

Hey y’all, and welcome back to the weekly update. The fam has had a lot of excellent posts this week, so you should definitely take a look at those especially. Anyways, on to announcements.

Announcements

@scriptsocialwork is still looking for a mod to help with adoption and the foster system. Please contact her via message if you are interested.

Featured Posts

Beauty and the Alien

“Beauty and the Beast” an old tale of love, romance, forgiveness, Stockholm Syndrome, but that’s been redone enough times. So instead, what if we took a prisoner, put him on a spaceship, and had an alien try to induce Stockholm Syndrome. Yeah, not exactly a light and happy story idea, but then again the best books have the not so happy scenarios. (@scriptshrink )

Sheltered Life

Your character has finally started the animal shelter of their dreams. Now what? Every job has its quirks, so what problems might a shelter owner encounter? @scriptveterinarian has a couple prompts to think about when the dogs are let out.

I’m Gonna Steal the Moon

So what would have happened if Gru had actually stolen the moon? Well, grab your surfboards and head to the pawn shop, ‘cause you aren’t using that anymore dude. You may want to use that money to pay for 10% of a plane ticket out of Hawaii cause according to @scriptastronomer , those volcanoes may no longer be your friend.

Low Battery

Your character has to monitor her energy closely. However, she wants to go to the amusement park tomorrow with her friends. How might she make sure she doesn’t overextend her energy? @scriptspoonie has some ideas that may help you when you’re writing.

Captain Punisher: The Nerdy Soldier

Soldiers, the buffest of boiz, the toughest of titans, and… the coolest of comic readers? Yep. Turns out, soldiers do enjoy their comics, their videogames, their tabletops, all that good stuff. An excellent example of this is the common use of the Punisher skull on their gear. But why do they like the Punisher? @scriptsoldier has a few ideas that may help your writing.

Shady Greens

Karen works in a coffee shop. It’s a great job, paying pretty well even though most days are pretty slow. It’s just, something keeps bugging her. Sometimes she gets a look at the books and what she’s seeing doesn’t line up with what she’s selling. Maybe something shadier is going on that has nothing to do with the storefront. What do you think, @@scriptaccountant ?

Throw A Shrimp on The Barbie

Except don’t. @scriptaussie has taken plenty of time to show those of us who don’t live down under, so, please. Just, no. They don’t say that. Don’t use it.

Super School

The voices. They just keep talking. Saying random pointless things that you can’t focus anymore. Will they just stop? At least if that one guy could stop thinking that one girl and what- and I’m gonna stop there. Simply said, being a telepath in school would suck, but would it cause enough problems to warrant special accommodation? @scripteducator gives some insights into what qualifies for special ed and how it is implemented.

Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes

Dancing is an art, but it’s also physically demanding. After a long session, a dancer is going to have some sore spots. So what should a writer keep in mind when their character gets home from practice? @scriptballerina has this covered.

One Hand Band

Gettin’ down and dirty might not be as easy as it used to be when you’ve lost part of a limb. When you’re writing your fun scenes, you may need to consider some new challenges your characters will likely face such as asymmetric touching. @scriptkink helped this asker with a soldier who’s heading into the bedroom for the first time in a while.

Cold-Blooded Community

Reptiles are strange. Like plants, they have unusual reactions to heat and humidity. What would a world filled with humanoid reptiles need to have to survive? @script-a-world has a good answer ready for you to read.

Bright Life

No longer shall fireflies be the only thing in the sky that glows, for behold, the great glow birb, flying high in the night sky shall forever reign as the most magnificent light of the avian kingdom. But hold on, why are the birb frens glowing all of a sudden? Is that even possible? Well, @scriptgenetics says it could work, so might as well give it a shot

Disclaimer: this blog nor any blogs associated with this blog encourage the making glow birbs outside of your fictional writings. Ethics and all that.

Spirited Practice

You may recall a featured post a few weeks ago from @scriptwitchcraft about banishing spirits. Mod T has taken some time and made a kind of prequel post covering the basics of what spirit work is and how your character would perform some of the basic rituals of spirit work. Hopefully, this will be a good starting point for some of your writing.

Quotes

“Apparently it's very disturbing to have your eyelids literally pried open.”

-Dr. Ferox ( @scriptveterinarian )

@scriptaccountant is stuck on mobile, so if you have submitted an ask, you don’t need to worry. She will get to it, but just needs some time. She thanks you for your patience.

New Family
