Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.

Thanks, I needed that.

anon in my inbox said fanfic writers who wrote about dark and taboo topics were not “real writers” because of what they wrote about.

reblog if you believe anon is wrong and writers are writers, no matter what they write about. no matter how they portray these taboo topics.

reblog if you believe art can be about topics that are controversial, taboo or outright disturbing, and artists who create controversial, taboo or outright disturbing art are as valid as artists who create art of conservative values.

reblog to laugh at anon ♡

Everyone keeps talking about "the writer's barely disguised fetish". But I still haven't heard about "the writer's barely disguised huge ass pet peeve"

feeling guilty over not working on your fic is so silly if you think about like why are you stressing over the hobby you do in your free time for fun lol wip not whip

idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes I’ll be reading a fic and it’ll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because they’ll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. It’s never the super specific stuff that they’d know other people are unaware of, it’s always the things that once you’ve known it for a while you forget it’s niche knowledge. It’s fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyone’s got their own specialties and they can’t help but write that into their work sometimes

new ask game; what do you think my hobby, skillset or knowledge or any other details of me based off my writing

rereading your own fics/wips is a very slippery slope into finding out you actually have to finish your fics if you want them finished

I hate you break it to you, but the frozen character is, in fact, named Anna. It's the Disney official spelling

I was so confused about what this ask was about before I remembered my post about misspelling character names on ao3 lmao

Thanks for letting me know! I'm not in the fandom so I apologize for the mistake. I still firmly believe that if a character's name is in the tags you added yourself then you should be able to spell it right. Google also exists to double check (which apparently I didn't do for Anna so point proven that you should always double check 😂)

#cell rambles #cell answers #I could have sworn I saw it spelt ana in a disney product before #maybe they do it both ways then?#or I just completely misremembered #either way I'll take it out of my tags

I think ao3 is literally the only site where no censorship means no censorship. you can post the most vile things on there — things that will get taken down on any other platforms — and ao3 will protect you, your works, and your rights to create whatever you want, however you want.

and no, this isn’t me saying “write that messed up, disgusting thing” because while, yes, write it if it’s what you want (I myself enjoy writing dark fics, something I believe would be considered “vile” to a lot of people), this is me saying in a world of censorship and capitalism, ao3 really is a treasure.

everybody say thank you ao3

1. Objection, nonresponsive, the question was whether writing fanfiction makes your legal writing better, not the other way around

2. SKILL ISSUUUUUUUUUE

thecourtshrieker

@cilil you DO NOT have this problem we are all so thankful

cilil

Hahahaha thank you💜

I do genuinely have thoughts about this though - I can't really answer OP's question, I have no idea if my hobby writing did much if anything for my legal writing. Except maybe that it's making writing feel more natural for me and I'm already used to nuances in language and wording which is quite helpful for that? But on the other hand, I also write fanfic in another language, creating an even bigger gap between the two writing styles.

What I especially want to comment on, however, is the commenter's assertion that lots of legal writing makes your creative fiction writing worse. Maybe it's true for some people, I'm not going to speak for anyone but myself, but in my experience it actually helped me and improved my fiction writing. I used to have issues with wildly meandering prose and sentences that got so long they were barely comprehensible; law school then taught me to be more precise and clear in my writing and use shorter sentences. I will say that some works could use prose a little "purpler" than what mine has turned into, plus there's always stuff I can improve, but overall it was actually a win and, at least in my opinion, made my writing better :D

I do think law school impacted my fiction writing, but in a positive way.

Now, I don't have a comparison because I never wrote creative prose before law school, but I think it helped me become a better writer generally. Primarily it helped me be clearer. I think I organize my ideas better than I would have had I written creative fiction earlier. I also agree with Cilil that it teaches how to use things like sentence structure to eliminate ambiguity.

Legal writing is technical writing, yes, but a lawyer's job in many cases is to write a compelling, convincing narrative. That's a useful skill whether I'm trying to convince you that Jack & Jill did not kill that old man; or convince you that Jack is down bad for that old man, and absolutely would say that.

You can switch up your prose style to suit technical writing or creative writing. Either way, you need to be able to tell a clear story.

I can't say anything for legal writing, but it helped me LOADS for scientific writing (writing smut during grad school was my JAM). To this day when I review a paper, I am painfully aware of "Why we should care" (many good reasons, I just want to know which is in play!), and how are we getting there? If we're taking a detour...why? Just make it flow, babes.

My advisor once commented that my writing improved drastically from proposal to dissertation...I didn't have the heart to tell her it was because I was writing smut in her lab...

#I thought this was about writing fic that had legal writing in it lol like a lawyer au #I definitely read it wrong 😂
