Obsessions and voices / I guess I write fanfiction now lmao how the fuck did that happen / 20s / if you need to call me something Lucy is fine / prefer she, her, hers pronouns if you can! / severely multi-fandom / liking from @telllmewhy (my political main blog) // super massively anti-gen AI

turn your attention to The Character

non-writers will never understand the mental illness of writing an entire conversation in your head while doing dishes and then forgetting every word the second you open a blank doc

here is your daily reminder to COMMENT ON THE AO3 FICS YOU READ! it goes such a long way, especially if it’s a multi-chapter work and you can only leave kudos once. ANYTHING is an acceptable comment—emojis, keyboard smash, screaming, in-depth analysis! i promise you, the writers want it ALL

[demicoffeegremlin]

every comment makes me 100% more likely to finish the next chapter more quickly :)

why r callouts always like "please dont harass this person and dont go after them. anyway heres every single detail of their life gathered by stalking and their private profiles for all to see"

[monkeyislandtwo]

"please don't go after this person! now let me post this document for every single one of my followers and list every single one of their usernames"

Random editing tip of the day: Keep copies of your previous drafts.

This lets you return to a prior version if some change you make isn't working. It can be reassuring to have the "backup" even if you never go back to it. And down the line, it may be interesting to reread your earlier drafts to see how the story changed in your process!

But now, and 🤬 that we need to do this, keeping records of your work over time is one way to establish you actually wrote the story rather than using AI.

when the character is obsessive and desperate and guilty and scared and ashamed and traumatized and repressed

it’s so special to me that so much of fan culture is textual analysis for the love of the game. like thank god there are people in my phone who are also thinking about this thing i love so much that they are writing transformative fiction as character studies and setting clips of the show to music with theme-relevant lyrics and writing long text posts analyzing every line of dialogue like!! yay!!!

[nekomimidusteon]

(with unconstrained lust and heart shaped pupils) hey. I liked your wordplay.

[redstonedust]

idk i think you should make this character's heterosexuality relevant to the narrative. i mean why are they cis if it's not servicing the plot. you can't just throw story elements in for no reason if you're gonna make an able bodied character it should really serve a purpose. like why are they white are you just trying to fill a checklist? :/

[goddisposez]

idgaf i will never get tired of the dog motif. it will never be cliche it will never be trite it will never not hit hard. i see a dog coded character crawl back to their owner even after being kicked and the inside of my brain looks like this

[bunnygirlonthemoon]

[bunnygirlonthemoon]

rewatching the series so I can write the porn more in character

"FAN fiction" as in i am literally just doing it for the love of the game. there's no reason to come into the comments complaining about how you disliked such and such aspect of the story. you are eating at my table for FREE and you have the audacity to complain

"fan FICTION" as in its not real!! its my personal spin off of the canon material meaning it has no impact on canon or your interpretation of the story at all. "this is such a mischaracterization of hornkus binglefuck 🥺🥺" Correct!! my source is that i made it the fuck up

[boyfailurecharliekelly]

I hate when people get on your back about a ship because it's 'toxic' like bro i said they are in love not that they should be.

[asteroidtroglodyte]

“Those two? Together? So toxic!”

Yes well that also describes My Parents and nonetheless here I am so. I think Art is allowed to imitate Life. from time to time. Occasionally.

[dragonpyre]

Ngl I totally forgot fandom discourse was a thing. I don’t care man, I have car payments
