How to Love a Ghost

Fandom: Danny Phantom Pairing: Dash/Danny Rating: pg-13

Chapter 1: About a Boy

Prev < - > Next

"I'm telling you!" Dash waved his arms around excitedly as he told his friends about his encounter with the ghost boy the night before. "Whoa, that's so cool," his best friend Kwan, who was sitting across from him at the lunch table, exclaimed in awe. "What did you say his name was again?" Pauline asked excitedly, seated at the end of the table, painting her nails. "Danny Phantom," Dash replied.

Across the school cafeteria sat Danny, Sam, and Tucker. Danny's lunch tray was shoved to the side; in its place were his elbows holding his head as he tried to hide from the excitement ringing over the cafeteria. Sam poked the mysterious green blob on her tray with a fork in a failed attempt to identify its contents. "You're just going to have to get used to people talking about you if you're going to be a 'superhero'." Making air quotes around the word 'superhero'. "She's right Danny. Besides, it sounds like Pauline is interested." Tucker chimes in, mystery sauce on his face. Danny groans and puts his hands down. "She likes Danny Phantom, not Danny Fenton," He points out, letting out an exhausted sigh. "Besides, I couldn't drag Pauline into all this. It would just put her in danger." He sighed again, his hands lay gently on the table as he stared wistfully at Paulina, “I wouldn't wanna risk ruining her flawless skin”. Sam just rolled her eyes.

“Flawless,” the word whispered into Paulina’s ear as if it held all the world's secrets. She closed her eyes and took a calm, deep breath. For a moment, it was as if the entire world disappeared. As soon as the moment happened, it was over. Star, who had been sitting off to the side, watched in awe.

How to Love a Ghost

Fandom: Danny Phantom Pairing: Dash/Danny Rating: pg-13

Prologue: Oh no! He's hot! -> Next

It had been a normal Saturday night, and Dash was heading home from a house party on his bike. While sitting at a red light, he heard a loud boom. His head whipped around just in time for him to see a ghost. Now, this was not the first time Dash had ever seen a ghost. Ghosts were just part of living in this town, after all, but Dash recognized this ghost. A feeling of dread formed in the pit of his stomach. This was one of the more dangerous ghosts that would visit. He had flaming hair, was jacked, and his arm transformed into a laser cannon. “Screw this” Dash whispered to himself as he ran the red light, hoping to get away before the ghost noticed him. However, the sound of his bike only alerted the ghost, whose haunting laugh quickly became louder as he instantly caught up to Dash and grabbed the teen. Dash struggled in the Ghost's grip. “What luck”, the ghost grinned as he laughed again.

“Skulker!” a voice shouted from behind. The ghost frowned, and Dash turned to see Invisi-Bill. “Help! Help!” Dash quickly started screaming. Invisi-Bill was always saving people from the evil ghosts that plagued the town. “Worry not citizen,” Invisi-Bill responded, as he glanced down as if giving a signal to someone before flying straight at them. Skulker laughed and aimed his weapon, when his cannon suddenly turned back into an arm and started to speak, “Read book on Purple Back Gorilla,” he groaned, annoyed as Invisi-Bill fired a blast from his finger at his arm, causing him to drop Dash before jets appeared on his back and lunched him off into the distance.

Dash was only falling for a few seconds before Invisi-Bill caught him. Dash had never been this close to Invisi-Bill before. The way his white hair shone in the moonlight and how effortlessly he could carry Dash in his arms stirred something deep inside. “Thanks Invisi-Bill,” Dash smiled as Invisi-Bill put him back on the ground. “No problem”, he smiled before taking off, “Oh! And it's Danny. Danny Phantom.” he paused to shout back before vanishing into the night. “Danny Phantom.” Dash repeated the name to himself, a small blush threatened to form on his face, and it took everything in him to fight it back. No. No. No. Dash shook his head, got on his bike, and quickly headed home. -> Next

PSA

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

If you get a comment like this, just report for spam and delete.

[lottiesnotebook]

This happened to me on Monday! Just to note, they seem to be using the usernames of real AO3/Tumblr users, which is creepy and upsetting, and also a weird way to sow discord in our communities.

[aeonchangeling]

As a fanfic writer, this makes me sick.

[waywardstraysau]

Letting me readers know about this nonsense. Don't bother with engaging if you get something like this, do as the OP says and continue to write.

[ryans-planet]

Yall how am I supposed to figure out the diameter of my cock. I fear bottom growth has not been kind to me :(

[ryans-planet]

I HAVE A FEW THOUGHTS. First I’m gonna update this when I figure it out. Second, am I just thinking my cock is like very tiny for bottom growth or have I just forgotten how much smaller my cock used to be?!?! Bc like, I be comparing, some of yall got big dicks!!! I WANT BIG TDICK SOOOOO BADDDDDDD FUCK I WANNA PUMP BUT THATS MONEY I DONT HAVE !!!!

[holmesandtheroman]

NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.

[sandersstudies]

The more empathetic and kind men I meet, actually, the MORE I hate bad men. It’s like I’ve seen it proven you don’t have to act this way — I know for a fact that it’s not coded into your biology to disrespect women or be aggressive or be emotionally stunted — you’re literally just a shithead.

[sandersstudies]

Every good dad I meet is just another enormous fuck you to bad, absent, and apathetic dads.

[average-monster]

Yes yes yes!! This is a great way to reframe (part of) the harm done by “all men are trash” radfem ideology. Low standards just excuse shitty behavior. You can set high standards, and have those standards met, and hold to account the men who don’t meet those standards.

[random-questions-fairy]

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

[theredscreech]

Heads up that this is a very extensive questionnaire and might be daunting to a lot of writers (myself included). That being said, it is also an amazing questionnaire and I will definitely be using it (or at the very least, some of it).

What does the dead dove tag mean?

Wonderful question!

“Dead Dove” comes from this scene in Arrested Development wherein the character Michel Bluth opens a brown paper bag that reads: DEAD DOVE: DO NOT EAT. He looks inside and sees what is in fact, a dead dove. The then says: “Well, I don’t know what I expected.”

In fandom, the tag has come to mean: “pay extra attention to the tags!” And/or “this fic is what it says on the tin!”.

So if, for example, a fic includes the tags: Body Horror, Gore, and Violence along with the Dead Dove: Do Not Eat tag, the author is saying “Hey I’m not joking about these tags! Read at your own discretion!”

The tag acts as an honest intensifier to whatever tags are already in the work, as the author using it wants to give a double warning for their content, that it may be triggering and that the reader should proceed with caution.

One fic tagged with Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, also includes the tags: Seriously, this fic deals with some serious and disturbing content matter, mind the tags

Thanks for asking and happy reading!

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

Writing Notes: Fire Development

Recognizing each stage allows you to describe with accuracy how a fire can quickly increase; later we will discuss fire characteristics, which will provide you with an opportunity to describe accurately the visual features of a fire scene.

THE 4 STAGES OF FIRE DEVELOPMENT

Incipient Stage

Also known as ignition.

This first stage begins when all 4 components have resulted in a fire starting.

Easiest to control and extinguish, and given the right circumstances, may possibly burn out on its own accord before it has a chance to reach the second stage.

Growth Stage

Shortest but most sudden of the 4 stages.

Combination of oxygen and any nearby combustible material will fuel the fire.

As it progresses, gases will rapidly increase in temperature, resulting in a build-up of pressure in the room.

Fully Developed Stage

When all the combustible materials have been consumed, the fire is at its peak and will be fully developed.

At this stage, the heat will be immense, and because the room will be engulfed in flames, there will be little hope of escape or survival.

Decay Stage

If the fire is left, then this final stage will be the longest, as the fire gradually finishes its consumption – think of a bonfire that is left to burn.

The heat still remains intense, and will do for some time, which is why firefighters remain so long at a fire scene even after the flames have been extinguished.

The fire may continue to smoulder and there is a risk of pyrolysis occurring, which may result in a secondary fire.

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

While lethal injuries often take center stage, non-lethal injuries can create lasting effects on characters, shaping their journeys in unique ways. If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain during a scene, here are some ideas: 

Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility, forcing characters to adapt their plans and experience frustration as they navigate their environment.

Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult and create tension, especially during action scenes, where every breath becomes a reminder of vulnerability.

Concussion

This brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment and creating a sense of unpredictability in their actions.

Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills, causing frustration and emphasizing a character’s dependence on their hands.

Road Rash

The raw, painful skin resulting from a fall can symbolize struggle and endurance, highlighting a character's resilience in the face of physical hardship.

Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation.

Deep Laceration

A cut that requires stitches can evoke visceral imagery and tension, especially if the character has to navigate their surroundings while in pain.

Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma, serving as a physical reminder of a character’s past mistakes or battles.

Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, providing an opportunity for characters to experience frustration or the need to lean on others for support.

Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted, highlighting their struggle to adapt and overcome.
