This blog is moving!!

Look, it's hard to keep up with two blogs (we can tell that I suck at this). I've begun to post my writing onto Substack instead! In about a week, this blog will go fully private and/or be deleted, just for my peace of mind in managing minimal accounts. It turns out my OCD doesn't like having a side blog that I have to log in and out of (what if I get hate mail? What if someone is reblogging and bombing my notes?? <- this but constant, basically)

You can find my shitposts and FFXIV gposes at @glitchvignettes (this is my main) (There will be occasional substack posts shared, maybe).

You can find my writing here! My posts will always be free. I don't believe in paywalling my art, personally. You can pay to subscribe if you really want to, but please know that I don't care about the money.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

After more than two hundred years in captivity, serving Cazador, Astarion knew when someone was keeping a secret - be it vampirism or, Gods forbid, something worse.

And Halsin, he knew, was hiding something big.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Alastor spent his entire life - and death - not knowing that there was a term for what he was. He had long since accepted that there was something broken about him, only for Angel of all people to show him otherwise.

After discovering your pregnancy, you decide to reward Elliott for his efforts in - well - making a baby. Pegging suffices.

Two poems about Gale and Astarion for a contest I'm entering (hopefully it's not painfully obvious that it's about Baldur's Gate) (click for the full poem bc Tumblr hates photos)

If ur against flashbacks in media ur a boring sourpuss. Idc if it's "not that relevant" or what ever. Yes please show me a part of this characters past that influences how they are today, I'm crying and weeping.

[circumpolarvampire]

I've seen literal writers say this "because if it doesn't further the plot it isn't needed and can be removed" but there's more to a story than JUST plot progression. A flashback might not necessarily move the plot forward, I can but sometimes a flashback serves the story's theme. Writers include them to better convey what the story represents from a characters perspective, not everything needs to serve plot progression honestly, that's boring honestly.

DAY 1 NANO UPDATE !!!

Typos included, I’m writing the most self-indulgent story yet. I’ll make an intro post soon but the gist is: rom-com, weirdly sad, with two characters w/ disabilities: an epileptic vampire and a diabetic werewolf! Gay, super gay. Im having a lot of fun writing this and it’s so liberating to just not care if it’s good or bad. It’s fun to me and that’s all that matters:)

Should I make a tag list??? Let me know if I should!

[tevivinter]

Writer friends, I discovered a fun website today. It’s called “I Write Like” and here’s the description: Check which famous writer you write like with this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers.  Let me know which autor you got!

If you stop thinking in terms of “everything must move the plot forward” and switch to “how can I string together as many connections between details as possible” you’ll have a much easier time deciphering what’s truly extraneous detail and what’s not.

Imagine your reader making a mental evidence board with string and thumbtacks, and the rush they get when they’ve identified a new little connection. It doesn’t even have to reveal anything particularly noteworthy, but the experience in itself is rewarding and adds a new facet to the overall picture.

Our brains LOVE making connections and identifying patterns. So plant those details in the soft and slow scenes and give your reader the opportunity to connect them later on.
