RWRB New Year's Gift Exchange!

Had the absolute honor to write for @raysletters' prompts in this event. I hope it's up to par, and a good read. Hehe.

Three prompts were given, but I went with this and put my own twist into it: Henry and Alex don't know each other, except they end up fake-dating for the chance to buy their favorite pastry at their local coffee shop, who is apparently now selling said pastry ONLY on a promo combo for couples.

This guy, Henry, Alex remembers hearing that earlier, was now widening his eyes in bits while his mouth continued saying words Alex isn't quite registering at the moment. Alex is almost convinced he could watch and hear this man talk forever and he’d never get tired of it. “Would you want to be my fake boyfriend then?” Those words register to Alex perfectly. “Do I look gay to you?” Is the first thing Alex ever says back to Henry.

“this fic will have only ten chapters” and other lies writers tell themselves

[chokememrstark]

“this is a one shot, I swear” the infamous sequel

[nicolabarth]

and the third part: “i won’t start writing this, I have to finish other things first”

[brieflymaximumprincess]

“I can finish writing this” the fanfic no one asked for.

[emmagrant01]

“I swear, that’s really the final chapter count.”

[internallydeceased]

“i’m going to get this done and post it by tomorrow”

Get you a girl who speaks in parentheses. Get you a girl who includes information in a sentence that isn't necessary but adds additional context or commentary.

You want to settle this under the mistletoe, bro? 😤

[marypsue]

Do you ever start writing something that you’re excited about and that seems like it’s turning out well and that you’re getting eager to share, and then you start typing it up or doing an edit pass and it’s just awful it’s awful its premise is fundamentally flawed and it’s out of character and the prose is clunky and the plot is badly paced and ludicrous and the whole thing is embarrassing, how could you have done this, how could you have sunk so much time into this, you can’t even look at it, how is this that shining thing you were so excited about, how could you even have considered finishing it let alone sharing it with anyone, you’re crying, your mother is crying, nuns are spontaneously exploding in the streets,

[marypsue]

reread the WIP I wrote this about and turns out actually it’s fine

[bookmania]

Seven years after, I see you again 😚

[scripturient-manipulator]

Guys this completely changed my writing, heed it. I often do an entire draft just looking at sentence variation and oftentimes the results are absolutely transformative in the difference.

[officialleehadan]

This is very very good advice, and absolutely worth following. Read this. Read it again. Follow it. Your writing will get much, much better.

[dropthedemiurge]

I agree, this is certainly one of the writing advices that opened my eyes and changed the way I was writing. It made it so much better, and I still remember that this post stuck in my mind. It did it.
