bring me a dragon...

This is a personal blog with a whole lot of Dragon Age and Fallout, ft. the Elder Scrolls, fantasy, art appreciation, books, and puns. Late-20s, she/her, Canadian, awesome. I swear a lot.

writers:

break up your paragraphs. big paragraphs are scary, your readers will get scared

fuuuuck epithets. “the other man got up” “the taller woman sat down” “the blonde walked away” nahhh. call them by their names or rework the sentence. you can do so much better than this (exception: if the reader doesn’t know the character(s) you’re referring to yet, it’s a-okay to refer to them by an identifying trait)

blunette is not a thing

new speaker, new paragraph. please.

“said” is such a great word. use it. make sweet love to it. but don’t kill it

use “said” more than you use synonyms for it. that way the use of synonyms gets more exciting. getting a sudden description of how a character is saying something (screaming, mumbling, sighing) is more interesting that way.

if your summary says “I suck at summaries” or “story better than summary” you’re turning off the reader, my dude. your summary is supposed to be your hook. you gotta own it, just like you’re gonna own the story they’re about to read

follow long sentences w short ones and short ones w long ones. same goes for paragraphs

your writing is always better than you think it is. you just think it’s bad because the story’s always gonna be predicable to the one who’s writing it

i love u guys keep on trucking

Next Fallout game should let you have a choice between several races and not just limit you to humans. Each of them could have different abilities and skills.

Ghouls could have radiation immunity but lower health.

Super-Mutants could have better strength but lower charisma.

The world around you could react different to you based on what race you are.

zabuzasword:

there are too many pictures of mermaids in sexy poses and not enough of them drowning and eating men. whats up with that

[justarandomtomato]

Clearly mermaids draw and distribute the sexy pictures. How else are they supposed to find men to drown and eat otherwise?

[jamiebythesea]

… that makes sense

DO NOT ARRANGE TO MEET SOMEONE IN FERELDEN

they could be a dog

[hextheorem]

or, you know, they could be a person

[championofvael-deactivated20160]

Sounds like something a mabari would say

[dgcakes]

Arranging to meet someone and meeting a dog doesn’t sound like a negative outcome to me

[triaelf9]

Sounds like something a Ferelden would say
