The first thing Homura Akemi did when her crush died in front of her was to sell her soul, followed immediately by googling how to build a bomb. Nobody does it like her

Oh easy mistake. Yearning actually rises from the floor and longing hangs from the ceiling

what they don’t tell you about being a writer is that returning to a long fic you haven’t touched in a while means rereading 50k words first because you don’t actually remember your own fics that well

It's my cat's birthday (anniversary of me getting him) so I told him the story of his life while petting him real good

Highlights include:

For your first two years (when you were small) you lived in a foster home with people who raised you into a very polite young man. Two is like you plus me, that's what two is.

Some people adopted you before me and they called you Timmy (which is a stupid name) and they returned your ass almost immediately because you were so annoying at that age.

Like think about how annoying you are right now at seven years old, but way worse.

I'm better than them though, I don't call you Timmy and I wore earplugs to bed for three years because you love to scream at bedtime. Earplugs are like when I roll over and go back to sleep even when you are yelling so so so loud.

I got you at a time in my life when I was really sick (being sick is like when I'm up late because I'm throwing up and you are a very handsome good boy who sits with me) and they had to put me asleep for a procedure. A procedure is like what happened to you when they put you asleep and took your balls away.

Now you've lived with me for five years. Five is like the number of toe beans on one of your feet. When I clip your nails five is when we're halfway done. But we're hopefully not even halfway done with how long we get to be together. I'm gonna have to figure out new ways to help you count.

Writing tips for long fics that helped me that no one asked for.

1.) Don't actually delete content from your WIP unless it is minor editing - instead cut it and put it in a secondary document. If you're omitting paragraphs of content, dialog, a whole scene you might find a better place for it later and having it readily available can really save time. Sometimes your idea was fantastic, but it just wasn't in the right spot.

2.) Stuck with wording the action? Just write the dialog then revisit it later.

3.) Stuck on the whole scene? Skip it and write the next one.

4.) Write on literally any other color than a white background. It just works. (I use black)

5.) If you have a beta, while they are beta-ing have them read your fic out loud. Yes, I know a lot of betas/writers do not have the luxury of face-timing or have the opportunity to do this due to time constraints etc but reading your fic out loud can catch some very awkward phrasing that otherwise might be missed. If you don't have a beta, you read it out loud to yourself. Throw some passion into your dialog, you might find a better way to word it if it sounds stuffy or weird.

6.) The moment you have an idea, write it down. If you don't have paper or a pen, EMAIL it to yourself or put it in a draft etc etc. I have sent myself dozens of ideas while laying down before sleep that I 10/10 forgot the next morning but had emailed them to myself and got to implement them.

7.) Remember - hits/likes/kudos/comments are not reflective of the quality of your fic or your ability to write. Most people just don't comment - even if they say they do, they don't, even if they preach all day about commenting, they don't, even if they are a very popular blog that passionately reminds people to comment - they don't comment (I know this personally). Even if your fic brought tears to their eyes and it haunted them for weeks and they printed it out and sent it to their friends they just don't comment. You just have to accept it. That being said - comment on the fic you're reading now, just do it, if you're 'shy' and that's why you don't comment the more you comment the better you'll get at it. Just do it.

8.) Remove unrealistic daily word count goals from your routine. I've seen people stress 1500 - 2000 words a day and if they don't reach that they feel like a failure and they get discouraged. This is ridiculous. Write when you can, but remove absurd goals. My average is 500 words a day in combination with a 40 hour a week job and I have written over 200k words from 2022-2023.

9.) There are dozens of ways to do an outline from precise analytical deconstruction that goes scene by scene to the minimalist bullet point list - it doesn't matter which one you use just have some sort of direction. A partial outline is better than no outline.

10.) Write for yourself, not for others. Write the fic you know no one is going to read. Write the fic that sounds ridiculous. You will be so happy you put it out in the world and there will be people who will be glad it exists.

Seconding all of this and pointing out once more (because I’m annoying like that) that if you want to keep stuff that you aren’t sure you’ll ever use …

It is possible to skip the copypasting from/to your WIP document by using an editor that allows you to “outcomment” whole sections, even chapters of text in the output, while the outcommented portions of text remain in your document, ready to go for when you need them. Or, if you never need them again, then at least saved for posterity.

For everyone who hasn’t come across this yet, outcommenting works primarily in systems like Markdown and LaTeX and looks like this in Markdown:

In the image, what you see on the left side is the text as I have written it, with several paragraphs of text marked in various ways as a comment, none of which is shown on the right side, where the preview only shows how the text will be exported once I’m done writing it. This is done either by

a) enclosing the text to be outcommented in square brackets [], putting a colon : right after the closing bracket and then adding space and a hash # after the colon; or

b) using <!-- plus space before the first word and double-dash -- plus > after the last word to be outcommented – note that this works for several paragraphs of text, while the others only work for one paragraph; or

c) putting the text to be outcommented in parentheses () and putting square brackets [], empty or with a random character like a slash, followed by a colon : plus space, before the parentheses with the outcommented text.

The editor used for that image is called Ghostwriter, it’s free and open source software and also runs on Windows. But there are other editors as well, so here’s the obligatory link to the post where I have linked all of the different editors.

Note for die-hard MS Office users: Hiding text works in MS Word. If you ask me, it’s much more cumbersome and annoying than Markdown, but I’m very biased, so hey, each to their own.

Note for LibreOffice users: It also works in Writer.

Does it work in Google docs? Possibly. I have no idea. I’ve used Google docs exactly once in my life and never again. But I’m reasonably confident a simple search will help you with that.

Mad mew mew!

[funkyness]

at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback

[funkyness]

what’s more iconic than this

[azeroundivided]

What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.
