#writing recommendations

[vinegarfiend]

been having some very autistic thoughts lately about @llamagoddessofficial 's siren aus. everytime i think im free from the undertale fandom it digs its claws back into me and pulls me back kicking and screaming. so heres this.

[newtabfics]

I was wondering what advice you could give for anyone wanting to write snoo-snoo? It doesn't have to be anything crazy. I'm just curious.

Okay, writing good snoo-snoo is very hard. I might end up making a full post about it later on but 2 things you should know:

Repetition will happen. Unfortunately, there are only so many ways someone can say "Thrust" before you repeat it again. My rule of thumb is to TRY to say it only once every other paragraph. So Let's say there are 3 paragraphs. As long as paragraph 2 doesn't have it, paragraph 3 can. Of course, I mean this for the description of the action. So plunge can't be used in consecutive paragraphs.

Read good AND bad snoo-snoo. There are tons of recommendations out there.

More information below this cut cuz I def went on a full tangent.

Personally for good build up and writing, I recommend "A Touch of Darkness" by Scarlett St Clair. Very good retelling of the story of Hades and Persephone. For just cutting straight to the good stuff, The "Ice Planet Barbarian" series by Ruby Dixon. Definitely a good safe read for anyone getting into monster lover stuff. The world building in it is pretty cool too! Lots of badass moments too.

If you wanna talk about BAD recommendations that I just recommend so you can understand what you want to learn from, I have 2. Fifty Shades of Grey series and Taken by the T-Rex.

Going over 50 shades. Do I have a distaste for the book as a whole? Absolutely, but it's great reference material. These book aren't well-written by any means, but that doesn't mean it's a bad story! The thing that sucks is the story is actually a good romance, BUT it focuses too much on the wrong things. I won't get too into it if you haven't read it but my biggest gripe with it is how this series goes over the BD/SM community.

I'm actually a...consumer? A participant? I'm not sure. Either way, I engage with this community rather regularly.

My biggest issue is how this series handles "Consent." Everyone at one point does consent, and that's my issue. It isn't like a "he seduced me because that's how sexy he was and I let my body take control". No. There is the topic of "Nonconsensual Consented", as in, they only said yes because they felt pressured. The main characters BOTH go through this.

And it's just accepted. On top of that, the ending for the first book. Again, if you've read the series, you know what I mean. The ending of this book was resolved within chapters of the second book. It didn't feel like there was a point to it at all.

The second book. Taken by the T-Rex. This is a terrible story. It's hilarious, and terrible. Dinosaurs want hot and sexy cave women near them and the women are like "oh...fuck yeah <3"

I recommend this because the ero-scenes are actually really good. I do think this series would've taken off so much better had the writing been taken a little more seriously. It's an ero-comedy, I guess you could say.

That said, this is POORLY written. Like, I mean, My Immortal (tm) level of poorly written.

And if you don't get that reference, here is the link. You need to read this as it is a treasure of the lost times. Just know, I love this series because it's hot garbage. For me, it's an old relic that should never be forgotten because of the cringe. Embrace the cringe.

Every author out there that reads this will think this exact thing: "Oh I've written that kinda story before."

By chance does anyone have any period drama recommendations? I have a few tv shows in particular I’m contemplating adding to my writing list but would love to hear whatever recommendations you all have. It can be tv shows, movies, or books.

Years before the covid pandemic began, author Naomi Kritzer wrote the charming, emotionally genuine short story "So Much Cooking," which was a pandemic log through the eyes of a cooking blog. The premise is that the author is a home cooking blogger raising her kids, and then a pandemic hits--and bit by bit she's feeding not only her own, but her sister's kids, some neighbors' kids, and so on, in a situation of pandemic lockdown and food shortages.

It's very good, and was prescient for a lot of the early days of the covid pandemic. I found myself returning to it often in the first couple of years because of how steadfast it was in its hopefulness.

Last year she wrote a novelette, "The Year Without Sunshine," which attacks a similar problem in a similar way; instead of pandemic, this one is about the aftereffects of a distant nuke or a massive volcano explosion (it doesn't say), which has churned a great deal of dust into the air, causing massive damage to society and agriculture. The story covers one neighborhood, pulling together to keep each other alive--not through violence, but through lawn potatoes and message pinboards and bicycle-powered oxygen concentrators.

I recommend both stories. They're uplifting in a way that a lot of what I see lately isn't. They're a bit of a panacea for constant fearmongering about intracommunity violence and grinding hatefulness. We can be good to each other, if we try.

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)

hey! don’t mean to be annoying but was wondering if you know who wrote the this fic? i don’t remember all that much but it was set in lockdown and sort of starts with harry and y/n in bed and anne facetimes, something about anne telling harry to shave his beard and i think there was a part 2 where they find out she’s pregnant?? sorry not a lot to go off of!

that sounds like a story that @all-things-fic wrote back in quarantine .. i would check their blog! but if anyone can link it that would be so helpful!

Ghost King Isn't the Only Title Danny Has

Okay, so you how monarchs can have multiple titles? Like how the heir to the English throne is both Prince/Princess and Duke/Duchess of Cornwall? And how monarchs can get titles and epithets that just stack onto their preexisting names/titles? Like "Catherine the Great" or how Daenerys gets her famous list of "Stormborn, the Unburnt, Mother of Dragons, etc."?

Well, there are dozens upon dozens of names for the Infinite Realms. The Ghost Zone might be what Amity Park calls it, but there have been hundreds of names for it throughout history. The Afterlife, Sheol, Heaven & Hell, Purgatory & Limbo, Valhalla, and so on and so forth.

So when Danny finally gives in and lets himself be crowned, he doesn't just become the Ghost King. Oh no. He is crowned "King Daniel Fenton, First of His Name, Protector of the Infinite Realms, Defeater of Pariah Dark, Liege of Fright Knight, Ice Mage of the Far Frozen, and Hades of the Underworld."

And then a few months later when Danny inevitably gets summoned and pops up on the Justice League's radar, there's some serious side-eyeing going on because 'Diana, why didn't you mention your uncle looked like a teenager? Why does one of the most powerful gods like to hang out in teenaged form anyway?'

Just... give me an unknowning Danny accidentally inheriting a niece along with the crown, and that niece just so happens to be Wonder Woman.
