Writing! Editing! Agony!

Hi there! A quick about me, I'm some type of human who loves - and loves to write about - robots. Commissions are OPEN! Art trades are OPEN!

[orlissa]

Hi,

It’s you friendly neighbor fanfic author here. In the light of this apparent new trend of people feeding unfinished fics to AI to get an “ending,” and some people even talking about “blanket permissions,” let me just say this:

I EXPLICITLY FORBID ANYONE TO FEED MY FICS TO AI. DUDE, THAT IS ABOUT THE LEAST RESPECTFUL THING YOU CAN DO. IF YOU DO IT, SHALL YOU BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM YOUR FANDOM AND WALK ON LEGOS BAREFOOT TILL THE END OF DAYS.

That is my anti-permission.

Thank you for your attention.

Editing? Oh you mean fic patching.

[lightwolf]

Protagonist now has more complex motivations.

Protagonist now remembers key facts about important people. He no longer develops convenient amnesia between cutscenes.

Protagonist now has a cooldown on certain adverbs. Adverbs have been buffed by 30% to compensate.

Developer note: Adverbs are important to writing but they are sometimes overused. This change keeps adverbs relevant while encouraging the use of adjectives and verbs.

The horse now has a name.

Deuteragonist snark power has been increased to 150, up from 75.

[mmedemerteuil]

Characters now no longer reference the previous version’s climate and have been updated to react appropriately to the currently set season.

Solved a glitch where supernumerary limbs would sometimes emerge during complex physical interactions.

Should no longer display “[insertnamehere]” during conversations and narration. All of such occurrances have been replaced with the appropriate tags.

Conversation continuity has been improved. Characters will no longer inappropriately respond with lines from previous iterations of the narrative.

All references to “Event A” have been purged to reflect changes in narrative structure.

Now with more thematically-consistent swearing.

Couldn’t stand that fic?

Okay but are we talking about NOTPs of personal preference or NOTPs that are abusive and toxic

how to make yourself write if you don’t know where to start

1. don’t expect too much of yourself

2. write down whatever you know about your idea

3. don’t format it to make it look pretty

4. use paragraphs whenever you get a new idea

5. don’t read back on what you’ve written before

6. if it helps, set your font color to white or light gray

7. don’t skip around. when you have a new idea, it goes on the end of the document

8. write sample dialogue if you have any

9. link to resources you find while googling

10. don’t delete anything. if you want to disregard something, use strikethrough

My mom is on the verge of homelessness.

Back in January, my grandma passed away. I talked about the event a couple of times on one of my other blogs, but it was a pretty shitty thing all around that may never be resolved. Unfortunately, her death wasn’t the last of the problems my family will face this year - instead, they now face homelessness by the end of the school year because they can’t save up to move somewhere else while they still have a backlog of her old bills to pay, and the landlady they’re currently renting from is looking to sell that house between June and September.

Even a reblog helps, but if anyone has even a couple of dollars that they can throw into the pot, it’d mean the world to me and my mom, who is currently the primary breadwinner in her house of 6.

You can donate here <3

[dinobotglitch]

Boosting here as well. I’ll be happy to write a little something for anyone who can show proof of donation.

[dinobotglitch]

Just an update: 

Thank you, everyone who was able to donate!! Things are still not going well, but everything that my mom has received both through the fundraiser and from IRL friends and family has really helped. Unfortunately, she is still far from her goal and the deadline is drawing near, so I’m reblogging again to hopefully draw some more attention to this.

I’m still willing to write for anyone who donates (yes, you can contact me about past donations as well), and I’ll be reopening commissions on Monday as well. I mainly write Transformers, but have been in a lot of other fandoms and would be willing to discuss writing for them due to the circumstances. Just shoot me a PM. 

[rocket-sith]

Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

I'm sorry if I'm being presumptuous because I don't know all the details , and to assume I know best is just dumb. But, a family is not obligated to pay a deceased's bills, at least in America. Many people don't know this, and I'm very sorry if this is not helpful or condescending, but on the chance this info did help I had to send it. I can't include links but there's a page on the FTC about debts and deceased relatives.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to try and help! Please don’t be sorry for that. <3 We do know that paying back most debts isn’t obligatory and we are in the process of trying to get some of the debts waived without losing those services, but it’s a process that can take longer than my family has in their current residence in some cases. Additionally, some of the bills, such as the rental agreement for the house they’re staying in, aren’t solely in my grandmother’s name, which does make them the problem of surviving relatives.

[dinobotglitch]

Putting this here as well, in case anyone else was wondering.

Pool about a new edition of the zine for 2019.

Hi! I hope everyone is doing great :) First, thank you to everyone who asked for copies of the Zine. Unfortunately there are no more copies left and no immediate possibility to print only a couple more since there’s a minimum print run to fill.

And I got some questions about a new edition of the zine. I can’t honestly say, it all depends if there’s enough interest in one.

So, I made a pool to ask you if you would like a new edition of the zine for 2019: 

POOL: MegOp Zine 2019 Edition.

https://goo.gl/forms/0dsexKQyEFHcXi712

The goals and dynamic would change, based on what can be improved from this first edition:

Writers and Artists would apply only with a link to their work, no need to do a piece in advance.

The goal will be that all Writers and Artists who participate can get payed for their work.

We would try to improve the quality of the rewards and what they are.

We would have the kickstarter first so collaborators can be payed in advance, and we would try to improve the times of printing and shipping.

The goal is to ship in December of 2018 or earlier.

The first Zine (2017) would get a new, small print run for the people who missed it.

The theme for the new edition would be decided by suggestions and votes.

Comments and suggestions are always welcomed!!!

Many people didn’t know of the zine when it was running and couldn’t get a copy, so could you please reblog this if you think someone who follows you would like to know? Thank you in advance!!!!
