A more dedicated place to talk about my writing (will still post about it on main)

[ofdragonsandheroes]

Intro Post:

Hello! I am a person of many faces on tumblr.

This newest one is a dedicated place to post stuff about my writing. I will probably still post a lot on main, but I wanted an account to direct people to who were specifically interested in my writing.

You can call me Val/Valancourt

My a03 is of_dragons_and_heroes.

Currently I am working on writing oc fanfiction for DC Comics, and I have ideas for original stories and other fanfics.

[ofdragonsandheroes]

[ofdragonsandheroes]

A sky like a Renaissance painting

And snow like old Robert's poem

A boy and a girl like a fairy tale story

And I am walking alone

"I'll bond with you platonically, ionically, moronically, won't you just go along with me, genuinely or ironically, why do you say there's something wrong with me because I don't want you erotically; you think I'm acting comically when I'm only speaking honestly; I know that statistically you may think I act atypically, but why is it such a mystery that dating does not interest me?"

are you offended by my nonparticipation?

4 — current favorite show/book/movie

show: Venture Bros for rewatchability but my mom just got me into Fallout the series. It’s rlly good.

book: i don’t really read “books” anymore im illiterate but i buy lots of random old textbooks bc you can flip to any page and find something cool, and if you don’t understand it, some earlier page will explain. And then I feel smart 😃

Favorite textbook: Stahl’s Essential Psychopharmacology. Good layperson explanations. I love taking a substance and then reading the page about what it’s doing to my brain LMFAOOOOO

last time i wrote ab this i said that, as an asexual writer, i’m not the one that should be writing ab my ships having sex but now i’m developing a duo whose romantic aspect developed after they started their affair and i know that writing physical touch is kinda important for their story and for a moment there i was like…i’m still not the right person for it but i also never k1lled somebody, yet i’m out here writing murderers SO HOW HARD CAN IT ACTUALLY BE

[what-even-is-thiss]

I would like very much if the words that I write also feel good in your mouth when you say them.

Other writers often tell me that my prose sounds like poetry and my poetry sounds like prose.

I suppose that even categorizations of social constructs will be social constructs, using technology to reproduce animal noises, songs we share in common with whales.

What is the difference between a scream and saying you will scream?

Am I pretty on thy page? Am I good in thy mouth? Does the robotic voice of thy screen reader tap, tap, tap on thy soul? Thy brain? The exact point of pleasure on thy spine?

Breathe now. I apologize for being so familiar.

Have you been writing? Have you been speaking? Have your fingers plunged into the clay of creation? Do you crave the baptism, the scrubbing, the handling, the contained explosion of expression?

I know that I do.

I can feel the gunk stagnating in my soul. I want to be read aloud. I want to read aloud. I want to read and to have read.

Poetry or prose? What is the difference? Where do I draw the line in the sand and what on earth is stopping me from rolling around in it like a dog, unaware of any line-based significance?

I cannot see thine eyes, but they are beautiful tonight. Have thou written lately?

I’m sorry for getting so familiar.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Race of beings living deep in the heart of a sun arguing that the conditions outside of a star couldn't possibly support life because it's too cold and low pressure for life-critical chemical reactions to take place out there

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Their academic rivals arguing that they have no way of confirming that because it's practically impossible to get information from over the Deadline (border between the internal area where it's hot and pressurised enough to live and the outside where it isn't).

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Eventually they build a spaceship and head off to explore the void and barbecue the Earth without even noticing. They head for another star and find a weird and wonderful alien species living in there though.

[earhartsease]

or what if each sun is a being and you get stars casually traversing their galaxy with a bite taken out of them like sunfish

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Well,

[hobo-rg]

thanks Derin, that's fucking terrifying

there are so, so many stars, and all of them are being punished for crimes at least as great as killing a god? the society of the "real world" has problems

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

If jrpgs have taught me anything it's that killing a god is a very common rite of passage into adulthood

I would kill for you. I would lie for you. I would fight till my last breath for you. I would raze kingdoms and burn down worlds for you. I would present the universe at your feet and allow you to have my entire heart and soul. Death would be a mercy in a life without you.

The 'you' in question, by the way, are cannolis.

I am Here- Fic Update

Hello Murderbot fandom! I am working on publishing another chapter of my fanfic "I am Here," this time writing from Here's perspective.

I'll post the link when it is ready, but for now, enjoy more angsty fan art from the first chapter.

(tw weapons, death mention)

[ofdragonsandheroes]

The next chapter has been published!

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

[ofdragonsandheroes]

New Update: Just posted the next chapter!

[lost-in-eriador]

in 2026, remember how GOOD writing feels. remember how satsfying it is to get your characters to the point you have been dying to get to, where they will experience the love, fear, relief or whatever the feeling you want to bring to life may be. let this year be the year of writing, prgress and of satisfactory endings.

[santapau]

Remind me later.

[solarsthoughts]

whenever i hate my writing and feel like every fanfic i’ve written is not good enough, i remember that:

i’m writing for shits and giggles

i’m not trying to make money off my fanfics so they don’t need to be perfect

they just need to entertain! i try to focus on the joy writing brings me

sure the quality of my writing is not published author-quality but guess what? that’s because i’m not a published author

i don’t have a team of professional editors or beta/alpha readers to double check my work

i have absolutely no professional experience in creative writing whatsoever

like any other art or hobby, i can get better at it by writing even more

my writing may not be perfect but it’s mine. no ai. just me and my brain.

and it may not be perfect but it improved significantly since i started

i will always always be critical of my work anyway, even if it was already perfect

[xann-z-the-artsy-enby]

Super long ao3 comments that retell what happened in the work like dissecting what they read fuels my fanfic motivation
