Hey I went to Finishing Your Wips island. Yeah nobody knew you there :/

[fanficmemes]

I know this is a joke but that’s such a good point!!! Some stories really are just to get the wiggles out

[redstonedust]

there needs to be more mixed societies in both scifi and high fantasy imo. gimme 2nd generation elves who live in dwarf territory and only speak dwarf y'know. gimme people celebrating the first human ruler of an elven city. gimme multiple distinct cultures and languages and sapient species that all come from the same alien planet. theres so much potential....

Since I’ve started using a cane, I’ve noticed a lot of actors & cartoonists aren’t sure how to depict characters with them! Here’s a simple cheat sheet to help with the basics/standard use.

[foxglovethings]

No one asked for this one, but…

If you made lore for a character you’ve had since you were 16, and you’re in your 20s now and have a better grasp of narrative structure and power creep, you can just retcon the dumb stuff. Like you can do that for free. You’re not beholden to the junk you wrote 5 years ago, and you don’t need to justify removing it if it sucks.

[screnwriter-old-deactivated2021]

This is actually really valuable. Every writer should keep this in mind.

That’s also part of the reason you shouldn’t look back at your old writing and label it as pure trash. You didn’t know what you were doing back then. You do now.

the “elves are all vegans because they love nature too much to eat meat” being so popular makes me wonder if schools no longer teach what ecosystem is to people? like uh plants are part of nature. if elves are so in touch with nature they will understand how the ecosystem works and that eating meat isn’t the problem, overhunting is. magical beings living in a magical forest isn’t going to have to worry about unethical meat factory, they’re a hunter-gatherer society.

if you want them to be vegan then just make them biologically a herbivore incapable of processing animal proteins in the first place! that’s actually a valid reason for them to not eat meat compared to the uninformed “they can’t possibly eat meat because it’s a part of nature (but eating plants that is also a part of nature isn’t cruel for some reason)”

they might still hunt animals if they noticed overpopulation of a certain species to ensure it won’t mess up with the ecosystem, but that’s a scenario you can choose to not bring up.

making your druids who can shapeshift into carnivorous animals hate eating meat because “they’re close to nature” is also stupid like??? so the spell “speak with animals” make them too sad to eat meat but “speak with plants” doesn’t give them the same empathy for veggies???

The Evermore Grimoire: Powers

Atmokinesis is the power to sense, channel, shape, create and manipulate the weather. This includes the meteorological patterns of being able to create rain, wind, hail, lightning, snow, sleet, fog and even temperature changes. They can also generate various natural phenomena and control the intensity of the weather in highly concentrated or vastly extended areas. However those that wield this power must be able to control their emotions, otherwise they risk creating cataclysmic weather events.

Sometimes, a fic doesn't have to get published, it can just be a series of messages on a Discord channel, between a dedicated group of friends going "oooh, you know what else would be cool?" continuously over a period of weeks and months :)

[lyralit]

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

I knew about half of this when I started writing. It’s amazing the stuff they don’t teach you in school that you have to work out on your own. And look, all beautifully laid out for you.
