#writing talk

[princessfbi]

As we begin the month of October and many of the prompt fest such as Inktober, Kinktober, Whumptober, Flufftober, Podfic Fest, and all the others that will bring new content, a friendly hint:

Do. Not. Do. This.

Reposting artwork, fic, podfics, whatever without permission or credit is stealing. It’s also just a shitty thing to do at all times but especially right now in today’s climate with AI. I know it’s sad to lose content you get comfort from but this is not the answer. All it’s going to do is drive creators away.

We share our creations with love. Please don’t be an entitled asshole in return.

God, I love when a character's strength is also their flaw. It's just *chef's kiss*!

writing [love]; dream, a writer.

Dream: I like writing. I like writing poems; I like writing songs; I like writing everything. I like storytelling—I just like storytelling. Storytelling in general is fun. I do a lot of storytelling through, like, my videos, through my video editing ... that's my favourite part of writing.

Dream: So, it's [love is] special, you know? You can't really explain it. Um, you know, with your mum, your dad, your—your sisters, your brothers, your cousins, your—your friends that you've known since you were a kid. Your friends that you just met a year ago that you are absolutely in love with as a person.

Dream: 'Have you written stories as well as songs lately?' Yeah—I mean, well ... I feel like songwriting is very—it's like, you just take stories—like 'Roadtrip' was, like, essentially a poem, and a story, that was turned into a song. And I feel like that's with a lot of stuff. 'Mask' is the same; 'Mask' was a poem turned into a song.

My biggest pet peeve in Post-GM fics is when they have cults to Khepri. This due to one simple thing that all of these cults have; they're too damn organized.

Look into the history of any religion and you'll see it took them decades to solidify together into a central, unified belief. Making a holy book everyone will approve of? That also takes decades. Central features we now consider commonplace, such as the Catholic belief in Saints? That took decades as well - also it began due to the Roman oppression of Christians, starting as the Cult of Martyrs. Look it up if you ever have a chance, it's pretty interesting.

The exception to this is irl cults, like the Manson family or the Peoples Temple, but that's for a very simple reason. They're centralized around a singular authoritative figure for all of their existence that define every last feature of their belief structure which most religions lack - a feature shared by the Fallen and their leading families that the different sects are named for. Something that none of the Khepri cults in fics, which I've seen, ever have.

Obviously they don't need to follow how irl religious movements work, but doing so could add further dimensions to the fic's cult.

Simply having a central figure, or group, using Khepri as a figure to create a power structure with them at the head would be interesting (maybe even using one of the alternate spellings of Khepri as a cape name). Or having multiple capes, or even non-parahumans, with differing beliefs on Khepri (considering a true transcendent deity, a figure of true parahuman power worth aspiring towards, a monstrous example of the terrible power parahumans have over the normal people, the woman who sacrificed herself to save everything and is worth respecting, etc) could add so much to the concept.

I find the concept of cults to Khepri genuinely interesting and plausible (we've worshiped weirder things irl). I just wish I could enjoy them with my inner history nerd getting weirded out by the way they're written.

It irks me that the overwhelming majority of Damijon arranged marriage fics on ao3 are negative towards the concept. The view in white America is that it's immoral, forced marriage, about control. I have to say that's a racist mischaracterization. Arranged marriages are completely normal practices as capable of being healthy as any marriage and arguably moreso. My culture throws the baby out with the bathwater worrying about abuse like it's somehow arranged marriage's fault and not the abusers'. Arranged marriage is voluntary.

When I search for the arranged marriage tag I want to see them being arranged to marry, not forbidden lovers because one of them is betrothed to another. It especially bothers me because Damian is Pakistani. Imposing our arbitrary morals onto his fictional life. We think we do it better but dating, courtship, arranged betrothal, they're all just different ways of partnering up. What matters is the connection, the companionship.

I've noticed it's a problem specifically with the super sons as my other ships have a more equal balance of pro vs anti arranged marriage fics. I think I'll write my own fic. Talia as a good mom who sets Damian up with Jon. Jon's nervous about it but he forms a strong connection and companionship and eventually falls deeply in love (where my demiromantics at?) To where he's so greatful to Talia.

Damian at first sees it as his duty but then when he gets to know Jon he realizes that Talia did this to try to better her son's life, not control it. She gives him a talk about how the marriage is entirely up to him. after that Damian allows his feelings to come into the picture, expecting resentment to creep in but instead receives a flood of affection towards Jon.

For their wedding I think I'll do some research on wedding traditions from the area the league is set in and base their ceremony on that. If you want to reblog to add anything on like for example resources about weddings and arranged marriages I would be. So so happy.

Final note: I don't think Talia would set them up as children! I do think it could be cute in fiction but it's certainly not realistic.

[raviosprovidence]

@ writers, defenders of writers, and defenders of fandom: you can't say "anyone can create what they want forever" and then scream at people when they criticize it. If people can do whatever they want, then people have the right to critique it however they want. You cannot avoid this fact, unless you want to be known as a writer who can't take the heat or be known as the fandom freak who tells people to kill themselves over a show. Either deal with it or get off the internet

I really like the story! I read it once a while ago when there was only the prologue and chapter one out but now that I've read it again up to chapter three I'm hooked! Can I ask you about your planning process for the story, how long you've been working on it, and how you planned out the characters' routes? Do you have a beat sheet (Is that what it's called) of some kind?

Hi, anon! I'm glad you like the story. 🥰

My planning process is not ideal lmao I'm a pantser trying to be a plotter and it doesn't always work in my favor. 🫣 But I'll gladly answer your questions!

How long you've been working on it?

I had a similar idea for a book when I was around 15 but it didn't go anywhere as I gave up after writing like 3k words lmao. I truly started working on this IF around October 2022 so it really hasn't been all that long.

How you planned out the character routes?

I think this part was one of the easier parts because I really enjoy writing relationships 🤔 I do have to say there have been major changes in some of the routes lol, particularly Helios! Being a pantser means I figure out more things as I go on so I don't doubt that there will be more things to change.

Even though I don't consume a lot of media, I draw a lot of things from the things I have watched and read. I take bits and pieces as Frankenstein it all together lol.

Oh, and songs of course! Songs are my main inspiration. ^^

Do you have a beat sheet?

Kind of? I have the major points written down but everything else is pretty intuitive. I call myself a last minute genius as a joke because people always like the scenes I add last minute rather than what I plan out. 😭

[youcouldmakealife]

'the plot point gets chucked' - like hate sex? Actually did James and Holden change in personality drastically when you decided not to go forward with that?

...like hate sex, yes.

They honestly have not significantly changed in personality from my original conception of them! Like yes, I have found out their gooey centres are so, so gooey, but they've still got all the flaws they started out with (minus the self-destructive tendency for hate sex, I suppose), and lot of the things that they're diametrically opposed about, well, they're still opposed.

What did change was the way they bounced off each other. It's always been a back and forth, but it's ended up being collaborative and fun rather than combative.

Holden's always been delighted with James, even when it was hate sex (though in the hate sex it was delighting in getting a reaction from James -- it's still that, but now Holden cares a lot more about it being a positive reaction). It's James more than anything: I expected his reluctance to acknowledge Holden's good qualities to last significantly longer than it did, considering he's very much a black and white thinker and Holden had been put in the 'bad' pile. But Holden's sneakily super charming and James is super charmed, so Holden is now in the 'good' pile with like. Finn. And Chelsea. And not that many others, honestly. (Cheezit! Obviously she's in the good pile.)

They are definitely a good example of my privileging characterisation over plot. It became quite evident that it wasn't going to be hate sex fairly early on (literal swing and a miss in the case of the practice fight, and all downhill from there, hate sex wise), and at that point I shrugged and went with it. (Admittedly with some 'AGAIN? THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN???' and a hearty dose of laughing at myself.) It's their show.

[ad0rechuu]

(all of this is /gen) i don’t get why we as writers have to put stuff like cursing in the warnings if it isn’t written in a offensive way (like cursing at someone) if cursing bothers you i don’t think ur mature or old enough to be on social media. at the end of the day i dont mind tagging it but i just don’t get it

[jennycalendar]

gje threesome fic is really just turning into a blend of sex and hilarity and also deliberate psychological damage done to giles

[rrcraft-and-lore]

Yeah, alright, no. No don't this. I'll do you a few fucking better and teach you right here and now how to do this: You game? Blurb and lesson time. Got you. First up, a SPOOC. This is one technique that can be expanded (gonna give you examples too). WRITING LESSONS AHOY:

SPOOC = Situation, protagonist, objective, obstacles/opponents, climax/cost. So, when Frodo Baggins (protagonist) inherits the Ring of Power (Situation), he must set out on a quest to destroy it (objective). But, will he succeed when the forces of sauron and saruman unite and

try to reclaim the one ring and use its power to destroy Middle Earth (climax - cost if failure). This specific example is taught by Jim Butcher so if you want some weight behind it. There you go. It works. Want to know how to do a blurb? Practice, but check it:

Who is it? What's going on?

Why should we care?

What happens if the hero fails?

If you can, end on a snappy one liner or question. You can open on one too or a question like it.

What do shadows darting across the walls, cryptic writing, black fog, and a little girl who can see ghosts have in common? Paranormal investigator and soul without a body, Vincent Graves, has forty-four hours to find out. To make matters worse, his years of body-hopping and monster-hunting are catching up with him. He's losing his mind. An old contact has shut him out. To top it all off, something's skulking through an asylum, killing patients. Three guesses who might be next, and the first two don't count. The writing on the wall is not so clear. But one thing is: if he doesn't figure this out he's a dead man--well, deader--and a strange young girl might follow. Vincent's got his back against a wall, and that wall's crumbling. Some days it's not worth it to wake up in someone else's body.

That's Grave Measures - book two in my urban fantasy detective series. Who is it - covered. What's going on? Why should we care (the stakes to the protagonist and more). The costs. And the above.

It's not rocket science, and doesn't have to be.

Here's one from book three:

Don't make deals with the paranormal. They're better at it than you, and they never play fair. Paranormal investigator and soul without a body, Vincent Graves, did just that—a deal made in desperation. Now it's coming back to bite him in the middle of a case. He has 57 hours to investigate a string of deaths involving people who've made some devilish bargains. Too bad devils don't deal in good faith. It'd be easy enough, if he didn't have to deal with things such as: - Being hunted through the streets of Queens by a dark elf with a motorcycle fetish. - Ending up the target of a supernatural hit. - An old acquaintance dragging him to a paranormal ball where he could end up on the menu. - And having one of his closest guarded secrets brought to light... Not great for a tight clock, because if he doesn't get to the bottom of this case in time, Vincent and company might just lose their souls. Dirty deals are never done dirt cheap. And the supernatural always collect—big!

Same formula. A lot of fiction uses it. You just might not realize it. You don't need a fucking AI. You need a few minutes every day of practice. You got that. You got this!

With SPOOC, you can outline a whole damn novel.

You get a snappy two-liner pitch to sell with. YOu can expand it into summaries for each book to make up LOTR in this case or your series.

Then you can reverse engineer and keep expanding each summary. It does it for you.

Cuddling with caretaker in a warm shower/bath + buddie

Buck shuddered against him, making the water ripple around them in tiny waves against the porcelain of the tub. The smallest of whimpers croaked past dry swollen lips and Eddie shushed the noise as it puffed against the hollow skin of his throat.

“I know, baby,” he said, dipping the washcloth into the water before squeezing it at the base of Buck’s shoulders so the water would cascade down his spine.

Eddie had tried to talk Buck into letting him stay out on the side so he could have the complete space of the tub for his long limbs to curl into. But one choked plea and a pair of red rimmed, exhausted blue eyes had had Eddie stripping off his clothes and joining him. Buck had barely let Eddie get situated before he turned on his front and curled into Eddie’s chest, shivering from the fever induced chill that had been wrecking his system for over forty-eight hours.

He couldn’t remember the last time he’d seen Buck so sick. Worry had prickled under his skin and latched on with nettles so he couldn’t shake it off, practically drawing blood the longer and longer Buck’s fever raged on.

At least he wasn’t heaving though. Not that Eddie thought he could. Buck had barely been able to stand let alone work up the bile and empty air and the very few sips of water he’d managed to get down.

His stomach, however, hadn’t seemed to get the picture.

Every chance Buck drifted off to sleep had been interrupted with a whine and a curl of his body. He’d thought the hot bath would help. Or, if anything, would allow Buck’s body to unclench so he wasn’t in so much pain!

It had worked for a while. Eddie’s butt had gone numb and the water lukewarm that he’d had to add some more hot water by stretching up to the turn the faucet with his toe. But Buck had relaxed against his chest and hid his too cold nose against the base of Eddie’s throat. Eddie had kept up his ministrations, trickling water down his back and sweeping his hands so he could give him just a little bit of warmth; so he could take the pain away for just a little bit longer. Eventually, Buck had drifted and if he hadn’t been asleep then he’d at least gotten close. Eddie would’ve happily stayed there for ever.

Buck twitched against him and Eddie braced himself for the worst of it. His arm was half way out of the tub to grab the trash can he’d pulled over before they got in. Eddie locked down the panic in his throat that wanted to claw its way to his heart with all the racing thoughts in his head.

No. No please. He can’t keep doing this. He needs these fluids. He’s already suffered enough. Please. Please. Please!

He’d promised Buck no hospital but that creeping realization that the very real possibility that he may have to break that promise very soon was getting closer and closer each second Buck didn’t get better.

Buck pressed his face into the hollow of Eddie’s throat, stiffening like he was frozen in time, and Eddie waited.

There wasn’t much else he could do. Not without IVs and people with more medical knowledge than he had under his belt.

But then Buck sighed and he sagged further into Eddie’s as the water shifted around them.

Eddie pressed a kiss against Buck’s head and dunked the washcloth back into the water.

“It’s okay,” Eddie said as he curled an arm around Buck and squeezed out the water over Buck’s spine. Buck whimpered again as he burrowed impossibly close and settled deeper into Eddie’s hold. “It’s okay.”

Hi, I really love your writing. It’s actually incredible how you can write people of the same pronoun and still make it easy to discern the two characters. I was wondering if you have any tips on how to do that without using phrases like “the short one” or anything like that.

1. Use the character's names

I often use 'the protagonist ', 'the antagonist', 'the hero', 'the villain' on tumblr. However, functionally, I use these like names and/or titles.

Using a character name allows you to periodically clarify who is talking or doing something when the reader would otherwise get confused. I know some people take this a step further by actually using 'Hero' 'Villain' as names more literally/directly, but I don't personally like doing that. It jars my brain.

I think 'the hero' etc works as an indicator where 'the short one' doesn't because it's neutral/not providing new info. Traditionally, we often only use physical descriptors when we don't know who a character is, so it creates distance/can jar when used in the middle of a scene. If you are in first person or limited third, there's just not necessarily a reason why your narrator would think of the other character in that way, which is another reason it can feel odd.

Basically, it's a bit like how we don't notice 'said', but would really notice if someone was uttering/shouting/mumbling in every dialogue tag.

2. Use proper paragraphing.

New character doing something, new line. New person talking, new line. New idea/point, new line. Shift in time or setting, new line.

3. Don't be afraid of easy beats

What are easy beats, you say? They are the moments of action or thinking in between dialogue. Body language. Whatever. Even if you don't use 'he/they/she said', because that can get repetitive. They are a way of providing context and variety to your writing, that can often do double work making it clear who is doing or saying something.

Example:

''So this is dialogue," they said.

"Right."

"And you didn't need to say you were talking next, because it was obviously someone else because it was on the next line. And now it's obviously me again. Hi!"

"All well and good until we've been chatting like this forever."

"Well." They stretched out, lazily. "That's what the easy beat that just happened was for. Did you catch me stretching in the middle?"

"But now I'd need a name or some kind of indicator," Character B replied. "Or it feels odd. Too many theys"

"It's all about balance, my friend. The instinct comes with practice."

Character B wrinkled their nose. "But what if I want to talk for a really long time?"

"Well," they said. "Then you can often start with a pronoun use or a character name to establish. Then you make your next point. Try and keep it relatively easy to follow. After that, try to have some kind of easy beat or action happen so the whole thing isn't talking heads." Character A rose towering to their feet, waggling their fingers in another hello. "And, if we're lucky, we never need to say 'the short one said' again, because we can flow our descriptions more naturally into the action.' Now." They sauntered closer, stopping in front of Character A with the worst smirk that B had ever seen. "Shall we ask the audience which of us is taller?"

A Bit of a Conundrum

I've been waffling about this for a long time, and as I've already vented about it to my discord, I wanted to open it up to a possibly larger audience of my readers. And also complain about it more. XD I write. A lot. I have. A LOT of writing. We're talking like more than 2 dozen wips sitting in my google docs, some with 14k, some with 114k words in them. Some with a specific ending in mind, some with no plot beyond what's already written. Fuck dude, some aren't even Sterek/TW! I was fortunate enough to have someone go on my ko-fi and do a monthly donation to me for a few months. They stopped, which I'll never be mad at, but having them there at all, having someone say "I'd like to support your writing just for the sake of supporting it" meant a huge amount to me, and it made me think about all of my wips.

I don't post often, or regularly, or..well at all, for months and months at a time. This is because I almost only ever post fics when they're done. it's a personal rule of mine, and not one I used to follow when i first started writing fic. It's one I came up with shortly after finishing "Wanted" bc I felt terrible and pressured when I had to take breaks during that fic and when I couldn't keep up with a regular schedule for people. And for a long time it was a good rule for me. It helped me not to feel pressured or overwhelmed by the worry of abandoning a project on ao3 and getting bombarded with comments asking where the next chapter is. But as I've continued writing over the years, my wips have gotten more numerous, while my posted work continues to trickle in. I'm a chronic long-fic writer (though my currently posted fics don't reflect that), which means it takes way more time for me to finish a fic than it does for me to get distracted coming up with a NEW idea for a fic. It's hard to finish work. But that doesn't mean I don't love my wips. They're incredible. Some of them contain some of the best stuff I feel I've ever written. Poignant words and phrases and meaningful moments. And looking around at them, I realized that anyone who goes to support me on my ko-fi, or considers following me on Ao3, or even just subscribes to a series, isn't really getting to see what I"m actually doing. They see a fic posted every 9 months, or every year. There's no real indication that anything they do is helping me regularly, that they're even supporting a Current Active writer. In light of that, I've been considering starting to post wips of mine. The problems with that are numerous and a bit overwhelming, hence wanting to hear others' opinions and vent about it ad nauseum. I've got lots of wips, and if I were to start posting them, I wouldn't want to toss the whole wip out at once. But posting a chapter at a time every few days or even once a week, while it would mean a lot of content coming out, it would be a lot of content that I haven't finished. Cliffhanger chapters, and unfinished stories that I can't promise would ever be finished. And I know I don't owe my readers anything, but it's still unsatisfying to post something without an ending. Then there's the absolute overload of possibly too Much content for people. Getting an e-mail every other day about a new chapter for a fic you've no interest in reading isn't fun. And on top of all that, is the editing. Often when I'm struggling with a fic, I find that i need to go back and change the beginning. In honesty, part of why I wait to post until I'm finished with fics is bc semi-regularly I'll get to the end of a fic, go back to the beginning and edit it all over again to make it more cohesive. To me there is no such thing as a 'finished' chapter. only a finished fic. If I posted as I wrote, then I'd either not be able to go back and edit chapters, or if I DID go back and edit my chapters, they would then need updated, and people who'd read the first 4 chapters of something would end up needing to reread the fic to get the full sense of what I'm doing. But at the same time, posting my wips would mean finally getting to share some stuff that's been gathering dust for years in some cases, finally getting to see people's reactions to them. Finally getting to know that even if I don't end up finishing it, at least people can enjoy what's already been written. And of course, finally getting to show people that when they support me through donations or comments or what-have-you, they're supporting an Active writer, supporting work being made every day, even if it's not FINISHED every day. All of these things are stuff I'm trying to take into consideration, and it's been a hell of a struggle. Plus, as I'm unfortunately trying to manage doing a part-time job rn, just getting up the energy for this stuff is a big BIG task.

If you've got any thoughts or strategic ideas, I'd love to hear them. If not, s'all good, I mostly just wanted to vent. XD

[ohlookanothercartoontofallinto]

You know I keep seeing people say Wind is hard to write. Which confuses the heck out of me because he’s all I write, and then one day I made the realization. 

He’s easy for me to write because he and I have been in very similar situation. We both been every order of child. 

He’s been the oldest, the youngest, and the middle, and I mentally have been as well. 

So if your finding Wind hard to write, let me explain a little bit about how the everything child works. 

First off, we’re pretty neutral towards everything, meaning you can’t take things to seriously when out of no where a dynamic will change in a snap. Because one moment you might have been the one who was responsible for everyone, then the pecking order changes, and you have to willing let go. Because you know fighting it isn’t worth it. You also have to be pretty neutral to any gab an older or younger sibling throws at you. Because you know the backlash isn’t worth it, and like 75% of the time, you know the parent or guardian will come to your defense, because you’ve the charm of the youngest, but also the responsibility of the oldest. So it becomes this weird mix of not fighting with siblings because you know where everyone is coming from. 

However that doesn’t mean we don’t have strong values. We will throw hands with you on the things we strongly believe. If we don’t have strong feelings for them. We kind of just don’t care? 

The everything child also has to be super adaptable. You can walk into a room and all of a sudden you are the most qualified person in the world. In regards to mental health, leadership, friendship, relationship, advice, etc. Somehow your existence has made you qualified. 

The everything child can be a great leader, however they will never fight for that position unless they are fully aware the other person is unqualified, because you overall goal is to protect. We tend to be however the most skilled, when we are by ourselves because. Because when we have other siblings around we don’t want to outshine any of them, out of love and how much you adore each and everyone. 

They can tend to prefer to be in the background, unless absolutely necessary  they need to be front and center. 

Are a get things done personality, doesn’t matter, we just need to get things done. 

Have weird random talents, no one knows about. 

Defiantly more willing to rely on others, if we feel safe enough to do so. 

So yeah, when your writing Wind you are writing an Everything Kid. Or soon to become everything depending on how you hc the War of ages. You just kind of have to be prepared to switch roles in a snap, and not complain about it. Which I think some people think it’s harder then it actually is? 

Not sure, if you guys have more question shoot them my way. 

[charles-leclerc-official]

Everyone take a second to laugh, Luci think she's going to write a 'one-shot' for the Vampire fic XD

Luci, we all know this one shot is going to end up like 30k+ words and you're going to want to write a sequel XD

(ilu and your writing delusions XD)

I will have you know I wrote the padel date one-shot!

I sincerely hope no one will complain if the vampire story gets to be 30k (guys you want lestappen vampires right?)

Thank you this made me laugh XD
