@dulcetsfic
hi friends, it’s been a hot minute. i just unearthed a bevy of my old fics from an old folder, and i’ll be reposting here comes the sun (as the only completed one) in its original, unedited 2014 glory. it’ll be available at @hcts5sos on tumblr and also on wattpad for ease of reading. stay cool!
Aw Dana I'm sad that you're ~officially~ leaving 1dff/5sos fic. I have always loved your beautiful poetry-like writing. I hope everything is going well for you love! (PS When you get the chance, I'd love to hear what the ending of DT was supposed to be hehe) xx
SO I FINALLY GOT TO THIS I’M SORRY ALYSSA!! but basically the ending for dt was supposed to be
louis/valerie end game. the gist of why zayn/valerie didn’t work out was because valerie realized she was only in love w the idea of zayn and not zayn as an actual person? and that by being w zayn, she was sort of.. not really growing as a person, do you know what i mean? there were so many expectations zayn had of her (that she needed to be protected, which is why he was initially going to turn down an internship in london) and valerie didn’t realize it until louis came along.
there was also going to be a cheap reference to louis singing “valerie” at one of their concerts in london and valerie backstage cracking a joke abt how she’d come on over or w/e lmao
hello friends! you may have noticed a sharp decline in activity lately (that is, no activity at all), and that’s bc i’ve decided to ~retire~ this blog. therefore, if you want to contact me, pls either go to hemwins or pinktaehyvng. all my stuff is still going to remain on 1dff and 5sosff, but they’re all going to be considered dead wips. i don’t really see myself returning to any particular story, so if you’d like to know the planned endings for any of them, let me know. thanks for reading and sticking with me for so long. you guys are the best.

any tips for a very scared new "writer"? if i can even call myself that
these are done suuuper quickly so i hope you don’t mind they’re a bit short x: also, these are just some tips that work for me, definitely not exhaustive and doesn’t necessarily have to be applicable to everyone!
anyone who writes anything story is a writer! don’t put yourself down bc it’ll only discourage you.
the more you write, the better you’ll be at it so write as much as possible every day if you have time. if you can’t, that’s okay too, but some days, writing is like running; you have to huff and puff until you break through the wall, and then it’s smooth sailing
free write. don’t backspace/cross-out until you’re completely finished with your thought/statement/paragraph/chapter/story. THEN go back and edit.
write whatever you want to write. don’t be bogged down by being especially concerned with being original. it’s totally fine to want to be original, but if you don’t really like the idea, then you likely won’t finish it. pick something you really like, even if it’s a trope or a cliche. sometimes, those are the most fun to write.
feedback is great!! reviews, comments, people spazzing abt what you wrote is so fun and awesome, but don’t let the amount of feedback you get dictate how you think of yourself as a writer. this is really hard, and i think a lot of people still struggle with this (myself included).
HAVE FUN WRITING basically
also, i just thought of this, but if you’re struggling trying to write emotions, what i find always works for me is putting myself in that situation/scenario and imagining the physical/mental state i’d be in. would my stomach flip? would the blood rush to my head? was there a time in my life i felt that before (yes) (if so, think back to how you felt as much as possible) (then take that emotion and describe it in detail)
does this help?? i feel like this is longer than i thought it would be :c sorry!!
i just finished hcts and read the abridged sequel summary and can i just say wow u fab
hehe, thank you, i’m glad you enjoyed ~
i understand but when do you think you'd be able to do the banner tutorial?
i don’t think i’ll be able to ever :c my schedule this summer is super hectic and i haven’t touched photoshop in a long while, so i don’t think i’ll be able to make a tutorial at all. i’m really sorry!
i absolutely love your graphics, please could you do a graphic tutorial for the drunk texting banner?
hi, thanks!! but i’m really sorry i don’t have a lot of time right now so i can’t :c i’m sorry!!
do you think you will ever write an exo fanfic pls write an exo fanfic
AHA ABOUT THAT..............
are you ever going to start writing again?
i've been writing, just not for 1d/5sos as of right now. i'm not sure if i'll come back, but if i do, it'll probably be in the form of what i've posted on here recently(ish) -- so short, itty bitty fragments of drabbles!
Writing Meme!
Pick any passage of 500 words or less from any fanfic I’ve written, and stick that selection in my ask/fan mail. I will then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what’s going on in the character’s heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you’d expect to find on a DVD commentary track.
how did you plan your fics? could you post a screenshot?
i honestly haven't properly planned a fic in a while so i don't have a screen shot, but basically the gist of it was that i wrote down chapter names and short blurbs for what i wanted to happen in each chapter
Living with Louis is a study of opposites.
Louis’s bones are sharp when they dig into Jia’s sides as they cuddle on the couch, but his stomach is soft and gives when they’re laying sprawled out on their bed. He’s scruffy more days than not, thanks to his inherent laziness (and what Jia suspects is some influence from Zayn and his Truly Magnificent Beard), but his face is fine-boned and delicate, his cheekbones high and his lashes long. He’s small—though bigger than Jia, still—but he takes up an entire room with his laugh, his voice.
If Jia were an artist, she might try to capture the contrast, how black and white Louis seems to be: if not one, then the other, definitely, separated by a rigid, unforgiving border. How the two can exist in a single place is something meant for smarter people than Jia to parse out.
But Jia isn’t an artist or a philosopher; she’s just a graduate student trying to juggle classes with her job at the lab and the deadlines for the bills that keep piling up on the rickety second-hand dining table Louis brought home one day.
Louis is a universe, all unto himself, the sky and sea crashing together within him, and Jia is just trying to keep her head above water.

there’s been something that’s been on my mind for a while and i know its been bothering a few other poc writers in this “community” (or lack thereof) as well. before i begin this isn’t so i can get attention or notes or whatever but i’ve bit my tongue over it for too long, so i just finally want to get it out in the open. if you’re a writer in this community, you have a responsibility to support fics that feature poc in lead roles. i dont care if you dont like the writer, i dont care if you dont even read the fic, but you HAVE to support it.
yes representation and diversity within fic is so so important and i can go on about it for days, but a HUGE part of that battle is breaking the stigma against fics with poc that a lot of poc writers feel working against them. by doing little things like reblogging chapters or recommending fics with poc to your readers, things that take literally 3 seconds of your time, you can actually do a lot. showing constant support of fics with poc normalizes them and makes writers feel less afraid of writing fics with poc. so many poc writers that i know don’t feel comfortable writing fics with poc because they know they dont attract as many readers. that is so dangerous and heartbreaking, so it’s up to you, especially if you have a ton of readers, to openly support fics with poc so that poc writers aren’t afraid of representing themselves in their writing. supporting fics with poc also demonstrate to your readers that fics with poc aren’t just for poc. everyone can relate to a person of color, maybe not on every single thing, but poc are humans too and deserve to have their stories read by the same masses that read fics about white people.
lastly, im cool with you wanting to discuss diversity and representation and race in fic. but you cant leave poc writers out of that discussion. that’s literally like that time congress discussed women’s writes and only invited men. i know you guys mean well but like…..come on. you dont have to like me, but you need to understand how important what im saying is. you have readers of color that are dying to see themselves represented in fanfiction. the least you can do is support fics with diversity so that they can be.
the art gallery one is now up on 1dff!
