Kindness literally costs nothing, and yet people are hell bent on being mean spirited and ungrateful. It’s so sad that a bunch of inaccurate accusations and horrible comments made someone as wonderful and supportive as @pottinglilies-deactivated202202 feel unwelcome here. There’s enough shit out there in the real world without people on the internet making you feel like crap about your passion/hobby too.

Wrongly accusing people of plagiarism when you don’t know the facts is just fucking sad.

My heart is breaking here today.

I don’t care who you are, if you send death threats to people you are a literal piece of shit.

[floatingseaotter]

I just want to add that this shouldn’t be a reflection on mightbewriting!

No one should receive death threats, it’s not okay, and mbw specifically requested that friends/fans of her work not ‘dogpile’ on the author, regardless of what may have happened; that the space remain positive!

For people to send death threats is disgusting.

[mightbewriting]

Hi there OP, I agree. Kindness is free, and it’s a main tenet of my online presence. I understand feeling frustration and grief for a confusing situation involving a friend. Unfortunately that friend, however wonderful and supportive they may have been to you, was also engaged in activities that were hurtful and malicious to others. Those two realities aren’t mutually exclusive. So while I’m sorry for the shock you’re probably feeling right now, I think immediately shouting about inaccurate plagiarism accusations only adds harm to and already unpleasant situation. The accusations aren’t inaccurate. If anything, they were understated. I would encourage you to dig into a comparison of Already, Again and my own work, Wait and Hope. I’m confident the results speak for themselves. Furthermore, you may find a comparison of between the stacks and chapter five of Lovebitca8’s The Right Thing To Do illuminating. Patterns of repeated behavior aren’t accidental. Again, I want to emphasize what I’ve said from the beginning, which is that dogpiling and abuse are never okay.

[dreamsofdramione]

If we’re talking about facts, I just want to add a few. Death threats over an online community are never okay. Neither is theft of another creator’s words. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Reblogging again for this context ^^^^

Hello!

I was reading a Jily fanfic (a oneshot) and some of the plot points/scenes/interactions in it seemed to be VERY similar to ones your World of Wait and Hope series. I left a message asking if they had read it but I wasn't sure if you would maybe want to check it out and see for yourself if the similarities were a bit too close or anything?

You don't have to share this obviously, I just thought you might like to know!

hi anon,

thank you for the heads up. looks like words has slipped out anyway, so i'll address this publicly. i think anyone who takes the time to skim these ~30k words will see that it is heavily inspired by w&h to the point that it uses many of the same plot points and story beats, metaphorical imagery, and in some cases, nearly identical lines of dialogue. i do not claim ownership over the memory loss trope, nor do i have any delusions that my fanfiction--a derivative, transformative work--is owed any real protections in terms of ip.

as such, i have an open transformative works policy, as posted on my ao3: "I welcome most transformative works, such as writing inspired by or in the same universe as my stories, translations, bind-ups, art, playlists, etc., and would love to see the results! Please do not repost my work on other sites or use my works in any for-profit way."

ao3 has an "inspired by" function as part of the posting process, and several people have used it in the past to credit my works as inspiration for their own. in this particular instance, even though i think the line between remixing and copying has been crossed in several places, had the author simply acknowledged inspiration from my story i wouldn't have batted an eye at it.

ultimately, things like this are annoying, but not entirely unexpected in a space built on transformative works. nor is it the first (or likely the last) time this has happened to me or many other fic writers.

i would ask that my friends and followers refrain from dogpiling on this author and their story now that the similarities have already been pointed out. i'd like to maintain as much positivity in this space as possible. i appreciate your indignation on my behalf, i feel very loved and supported, but i'm going to be just fine.

[frogdilf-archive]

deeply disturbed by that one specific feeling after you’ve seen a really good movie (maybe it’s not “good” but you get the point). it’s just like im way too full of love and thoughts and yet im also gapingly empty and hyperaware of my place in existence at the same time, and im pretty sure i’ve unlocked a secret of the universe that i couldn’t explain to anybody else if i tried. and yeah i will forget what it is by tomorrow but from now on, anything that reminds me of that one movie and the way it left me changed inside will always just have this unplaceable emotion attached to it. weird

Hyper-specific advice because I don’t see enough of this!

make your characters have inaccurate perceptions of themselves. your character might think they’re selfish but at every opportunity they act selfless. we all have blind spots so give these to your characters too! (this works best with first person pov but I’m sure you can do it in third.)

make a character’s personality trait helpful sometimes and harmful other times. impulsivity that makes them act quickly in high-stress situations which is great but it also sometimes results in the wrong choices.

make an excel/google sheets doc for your outline. for mine i have the chapter number, the date, the character pov (since mine is first person and switches between 5 characters), a summary column, and a continuity column. my story takes place in one setting but most stories have multiple locations, so you could include a column for that, the time of day, even the moon phase (one of my wips is from the perspective of animals so that is super important for that story).

you can also use excel/sheets for keeping track of your conlang. for my animal wip i have constructed a language called Vannro and I have 300 some-odd entries into my excel doc. i have columns for the Vannro word, the English translation, etymology and derived words (for some), the part of speech, and the subject. you can easily sort in alphabetical either in English or your conlang, and also sort by excluding all entries that aren’t under the subject “derogatory” or “places” etc. I always forget what my “be” verbs are so I sort through the part of speech column so I can find “is” “was” “are” etc.

use perspective to create tension for your reader. for example, in The Blackwater Anomaly in a chapter from Rainer’s pov, we experience his nightmare, however in a later chapter from Holly’s pov, when she asks him directly, he lies and says he hasn’t experienced any nightmares. Holly doesn’t know he is lying but the audience does. I also have characters who do not get chapters from their perspective, who may or may not be lying, and so both the audience and the characters experience that anxiety and uncertainty together.

consider using deep pov. you can read some articles about it but essentially you make the audience experience the story at the same time as the character and it makes your narration more active. this can also be done in third person. this has a lot to do with “show don’t tell” (although sometimes its better to just tell). remove some “telling” words like “thought/felt/saw” and just get directly into what’s happening. instead of “Ava saw a shadow fall across her shoulder” make it “a shadow fell across her shoulder”. your reader will know who you’re talking about. this even jumps into the unreliable narrator when you change “I felt like Isaiah was blowing me off” to “Isaiah blew me off.” the former has room for doubt and makes your character seem weaker. if she thinks she’s being blown off and she’s pissed about it, make her say that! you have to make the audience believe it’s true, it makes them more invested in the character’s experiences and emotions. and then if they later find out Isaiah wasn’t really blowing them off, there was an emergency or something, both the character and the audience can feel regretful together over misreading the situation and being pissed at Isaiah. if you leave room for doubt, then your reader will just feel unsurprised during the reveal and frustrated at your character for being stupid up until then.

you don’t have to “show” everything. sometimes there’s boring parts of a narrative that no one really cares about. you can either make a break in the text to show a time skip happened when your character was driving from point a to point b or you can give a paragraph or two about the drive, just telling what happened, even include an accident on the side of the road or an unexpected and frustrating road closure. its a very mundane and relatable aspect in our lives and we don’t need to be “shown” these, we can just be told. summarize the nonessential by telling or just skip it.

Merry Christmas or happy holidays ❤️🎄❄️

I made this for a one-shot I wrote, but didn’t finish.

I think this works without the text anyways, but for context and a spoiler, read under the cut (if I can make one?)

Draco has yet to apologise for his past actions to Hermione, despite having been her potions partner through all of first semester in their 8th year. On Christmas Eve, he goes to her parent’s house and finally gives her an apology. This is the moment right after that.

Draco/Hermione, rated M. Historical Muggle AU oneshot, 7,000 words.

“You think I’m going to undress in front of you? I don’t know what sort of woman you think I am, but—”

Draco sighed again and ran his fingers through his hair, mussing it.  She’d never seen him disheveled like that before, and regrettably, it only made him more handsome. It made her fingers itch to push that one lock back from his forehead, which was possibly the most absurd thought she had ever had.

And Hermione was a woman who planned to make a living as a lawyer, so she was no stranger to absurdity.

“I didn’t say that, did I? I said come over and stand in front of the fire, which might count as seduction when it comes from the Weasel, but trust me, if I was going to seduce you, you’d know it.”

Read it all on ao3.

"Can you see my nipples?" she asked.

"I—" Draco fidgeted with his tie pin. "Do you want me to?"

"Yes, I'd like you to try to find them."

Draco looked. Then looked some more.
