I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

"We sense your fear, and we feel that fear in turn. Trust us and we can take you away from here"

Tentatively you drop the poorly crafted sword they gave you and you reach your hand towards the black mass

"Thank you" you say to it

The black slime engulfs your hand and spreads across your body, you allow yourself to feel calm as it uses your body as its host. The sensation is strange...but if it means you won't die today, you accept it willingly

Your kingdom has fallen. As one of the royal family, you are sentenced to death by a monster cage fight. The enemy sorcerer has summoned otherworldly black slime. As you are being helplessly engulfed by the nameless monster, you hear a voice, "We are not nameless, they call us Venom."

"Ashley knows, logically, that she should be expecting that, but she has never seen someone die— or be killed."

It was that day when I opened my eyes

Just the same as they both did, their green ones staring back at one another

And my blue ones to theirs

They looked but couldn't see me, and in the end it didn't matter

Knowing I could see them, hear them, watch them live and explore was enough for me

In my mind I was just like them. Flying free and adventuring far

But that was just a child's dream, and you always have to wake up

People say childhood dreams are just that, dreams. And at some point, you have to wake up and open your eyes. But for me it felt like I had closed them.

Like I had turned my head away and began to ignore what had once given me life

Today I opened my eyes again

I saw them again

I felt them again.

As a writer there is nothing better than getting spammed from every angle on Ao3.

This isn't Tiktok people, spam is appriciated

in 2025 let’s bring back being enthusiastic on ao3. leave a comment on every chapter. leave kudos and, if necessary, leave “double kudos�� in the comments. tags and notes on bookmarks. the whole nine yards. let’s show fanfic authors how much we love them.

Whump community Reblog if you hate AI

it ruins the whole point of art

[waywardwritesstuff]

I am taking whump prompts

That can be anything from dialogue. To a whole paragraph or just a simple idea.

I am also making short lists for responses based off of submitted criteria

For example:

You send: Whumper and Gags

I reply: "Don't scream or I'll have to use the gag again"

"Bite down on this, your annoying when you scream"

"Trust me this will help"

Ect

I have a few big arcane projects in the works that I am excited to get working on but since it's almost new year I've decided to put them off until January 1st rolls around. So what big project would you like to see in the new year from me?

Why did I wait to long?

Was I scared? Or just a fucking idiot?

Now I'm sitting here like a kid in the backseat with nothing to do. Looking at your face through the rear view

I should be up there next to you but he took my spot...

And I'm happy for you. Happy that someone filled that spot

I don't have any right to be angry or jealous because I had my shot and I didn't take it

And I shouldn't be mad at you because I love you. And I shouldn't be mad at him because he treats you right

I don't deserve to complain.

I'm just mad at the idiot I became

Because waiting and being confused seemed like a better option than being outright.

I'm such a fucking idiot

Regarding next year, If I made an Arcanpril (Arcane-April) would you guys be interested in participating?

(please no one steal this idea, thanks)

(To clarify this would be an event like Whumptober, Kinktober or TMNTtober)

If you’re reading this, go purge your read later lists. Read all that shit

This week, I read a fic that was around 20 years old, which had originally been posted on the author's personal website and which she added to AO3 a few years ago. She listed her email address with the fic, so after I finished reading, I sent her an email saying how much I enjoyed the story, how much I appreciated the work and effort she obviously put into it, and thanked her for uploading it to AO3. She responded the next day and thanked me for my message, then said she had a few more stories in the same series that she hadn't gotten around to uploading. I checked this morning--she added a 35,000 word novella and thanked me in the summary.

👏 comment 👏 on 👏 old 👏 fics 👏

Hey guys. I've recently made a discord server for my works. I know my works aren't that popular but if you've ready any of my stuff (or are into arcane at the moment like me) then it would mean the world to me if you would join and support me.

Thanks in advance

Found out recently that my writing style is called Purple Prose.

Had no idea it was that common it had its own name

But also turns out that a lot of professional and old school writers don't like it. Calling it "excess useless detail" and "overtly flowey languages"

Lmao

I don't give a fuck tho. I love my writing style

[waywardwritesstuff]

just saw a fanfic on ao3 have a dedication for chatgpt... that section is meant for your horny perverted mutual who proofread your work, you violated sacred law and you will be torn apart and laid bare btw
