SANDRA HÜLLER on the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show (16 Feb. 2024)

[exuberantocean]

When reading fanfic keep in mind that for professional literature: 

Short story: under 7,500

Novelette: between 7,500 and 17,500

Novella: between 17,500 and 40,000

Novel: over 40,000

Fics over 40k are literally a novel written and shared for free.  If you have written a 40k+ fic, you have literally written a novel.

[fake-starwars-fan]

Yep. In addition, chapters in published novels are generally around 3,000 words in length.

Fanfic writers go hard.

thinking of a swann arlaud and sandra hüller period romance…. sigh….

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

“You’ve enraptured me completely, you know,” he murmurs, pulling her closer to him as he speaks softly against her ear. “Is it the dress?” she jests, her fingers sending sparks against his body when she clutches onto the fabric of his blazer. “The dress and everything else. Every time you smile it’s simply infectious. And…” Daringly, his lips hover over her neck as he inhales her scent. “You’re using a new perfume. Hyacinth.” The tips of her ears redden and he can’t help but wolfishly grin.

chapter 6 of a revelation, in which after Daniel’s request to be left alone before his testimony, Vincent comforts a distraught Sandra. He realizes, then, just how far he’d go for her.

whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

I think one of my favorite creative joys is seeing how many different things people can do with the same concept. give ten writers the same starting point, or basic plot, or set of tropes to use and you're still going to get wildly different end results

the details you focus on, the ones you omit, turns of phrase, tone, and framing, the cadence and tempo of the sentences themselves, all the little fingerprints you've left littered across the prose — how you tell the story matters, and your personal voice is what makes it unique

[astralwritings]

i watch justine’s acceptance speech at the oscar’s for best original screenplay at least once a month bc it’s so cute 😭 love watching the cast’s reactions too… <3

writing fanfiction is just. i’m being so creative and original. i’m plagiarizing everyone by accident. i’m a genius. i’m cringe. i’m too angsty. i’m too cheesy. this is not in character. it doesn’t matter that it’s not in character because these are my characters now. i love my hobby. this is the worst possible use of my time. i’m seeking validation. i’m projecting my own personal problems onto this story and i’m barely hiding it. i know so many words and i’m using all of them wrong. im on tumblr posting about it instead of writing it.
