No doubt they'll be the winners of season 13, right? 🤭

IT'LL COST YOU [COMPLETE HAMISH AU ON AO3]
When Nat’s sugar daddy leaves her penniless, she runs and lands flat on her back underneath her annoying but attractive co-worker, Hamish, who has the answer to all her problems: pretend to be his girlfriend for a few months and she can live with him rent-free, but her business isn’t the only thing she’s risking when she starts to fall for him.

A Horror Beat Sheet
There are no hard-and-fast rules in writing fiction. There are, however, some established patterns and expectations, and once you know them, you’ll be able to work within those patterns and deviate from the path as you see fit.
What is a Beat Sheet?
Popularized by Blake Snyder’s book Save The Cat, beat sheets are an outlining method often used for screenwriting that some authors have started to use for books as well. Basically, a beat sheet lays out the story ‘beats’ or necessary plot points that make up the essential story structure. The Hero’s Journey is, essentially, a beat sheet. You can see more beat sheet information here: https://timstout.wordpress.com/story-structure/blake-snyders-beat-sheet/
Horror has a slightly different structure than other stories, and for that reason I don’t think a classic beat sheet works quite right for it. So with that in mind, here is my somewhat adapted version, drawn from my studies of horror media. Various beats can be reorganized somewhat, and will vary a bit depending on sub-genre and other considerations. But if you need help in establishing a horror plot…this beat sheet should help guide the way.
Horror Story Beat Sheet
Act One (The Setup):
1 - The World is Not What it Seems
(The reader catches an early glimpse of the monster, or a hint that the monster exists. This is optional, and may occur right away – often as a prologue – or after the main characters have been introduced.)
2 - Putting the Players in Action
(You introduce the important characters and the primary internal conflict)
3 - Setting them on the Path
(The characters make a choice that inadvertently isolates them or places them on a collision course with the monster)
4 - The Warning
(The characters are given an opportunity to turn back, but choose not to; could occur before or after The First Contact With The Monster.)
5 - The First Contact with the Monster
(The characters have their initial contact with the monster, but are unaware of the true threat it poses.)
Act Two (The Turn): 6 - Shit Gets Real (May be the first death or when seriously spooky activity begins; regardless, this is when the danger becomes evident and unavoidable)
7 - The Chase (The monster pursues the characters, who lack the skills to fight it; one or more people may die here)
8 - Failed Confrontation (The main character attempts to destroy the monster, but does not yet possess the ability to do so)
9 - The Darkest Hour (Hope appears lost. Perhaps someone very important has died, or the hero has tried everything they can think of. The link between the internal conflict and monster may become clear to the character here)
Act Three (The Prestige): 10 - A Different Solution (The hero gains new information on how to defeat the monster. This may be delivered by someone they seek out for help, or may come through soul searching and observation.)
11 - Seeking Out the Beast (For the first time, the hero approaches the monster, rather than fleeing it. They intend to enact their solution)
12 - The True Cost is Revealed (In the process of confronting the monster, the hero realizes that to overcome it, the internal conflict must be encountered and defeated. That is the hidden cost; the hero will be irrevocably changed)
13 - Sacrifices Are Made (or not) (Faced with the ultimate choice, the hero either succeeds in defeating their internal conflict and winning against the monster, or fails and ultimately succumbs to their weakness)
14 - The Inevitable Fall Out (Show the consequences of whichever choice is made)
15 - Evil Cannot Be Conquered, Only Delayed (If the hero failed #13, show the monster relishing its victory in a changed world. If the hero succeeded, show a hint that the monster may yet return. )
—- I think you will find that if you compare many, many, many horror stories against this beat sheet, you will see versions of this structure/pattern. I encourage you to try it. I’ll post some plot studies of my own to show you later.
There is no single “right” way to write a story, and I certainly don’t think you must follow this structure in order to be successful. But I can guarantee you that following this structure will give you the framework necessary for a complete and emotionally satisfying horror story.
Caveat: this beat sheet is meant for long-form stories such as novels and films. Short stories follow a very different structure. We can talk about that in a later chapter.

My unpopular opinion: Hope is the best bestie in S2.
In all of her interactions, she’s sweet and she’s supportive. She doesn’t make conversations about her (cough Lottie) and she genuinely likes MC. I’ve always had Chelsea here (and correct me if I’m wrong) and she doesn’t say anything like this when Jo/Elisa take your LI on a date. But even if she did, Hope is the only bestie who is consistent in her support, talking only about MCs problem and never about her own (i.e., when Priya steals MCs LI, when MCs LI goes on a date with Jo/Elisa).
TLDR; Hope was an amazing bestie and she deserved to be a best person option in The Wedding if you were not marrying Noah. My mind cannot be changed 😭
i miss hope aw
@operationnope , you don't need Matt, you already have hottie at home 😝
I did it. Took me so long after such a long pause in drawing hot boys, but Matt inspired me, yay! 😍
I love that his sprite has birthmarks, i studied them all thoroughly lol (so unlike his hand that looks so wrong despite me using so many references, they are very accurate haha)
Also drawing leather is a challenge 😩
Adding "been interviewed about fanfic by Glamour Magazine" to my writer resume. What a surreal experience this was lol
The Triumph of Time being mentioned here is absolutely wild, and I should probably really work faster on finishing editing it... Thanks to the journalist for being super nice btw!
The amount of “Love Island”–inspired fan fiction being posted online is rapidly rising. And it’s even hotter than the real thing.

Her brows wrinkled together and as much as she hated to admit it, she’d given Hamish the advantage over her. He had her right where he’d always wanted her: underneath him. “Please.” “Please, what?” Hamish purred in her ear. “Be more specific, Sweetheart.” “Please stop calling me that!” Nat snapped, but he just chuckled at her outburst. His fingers ghosted down her leg as his eyes raked over her. Shrugging, Hamish let out a calm hum. She whimpered, and she couldn’t stand that her body was deceiving her. “Do you want me to stop, or keep going?” he asked, drawing excruciatingly slow circles with his thumb on her inner thigh. She bit her lip, wiggling closer to his hand. “I see. Then you better say it. Good girls are polite, Sweetheart.”

Happy birthday to @rebelrayne !!
You are a chaotic, beautiful, loyal hater and you’re one of my best friends in the whole wide world.
Literally you and the crew are the reason I know irl doesn’t mean shit when it comes to someone having your back through everything.
Love you, babe.
Thank you, Reggie! I appreciate and love you 🤍
Look, unless your character is a philosophy professor on day three of a meth bender, they probably don’t say things like “the cascading despair of human futility renders my pursuit of happiness moot.” They say, “I’m so tired, nothing matters, and my cat just barfed on my only clean shirt.”
Flowery language has its place. But if every character speaks like they swallowed a thesaurus and washed it down with existential dread, you’re not being deep, you’re being unreadable.
Good writing doesn’t need to be smart. It needs to feel true. If that means breaking grammar rules, go for it. If that means saying “kinda” instead of “somewhat,” do it. Voice matters more than prestige. You’re not trying to impress your old high school English teacher. You’re trying to connect.
Commission for @sage-pages 💚❤️

A searing burn in her eyes begged for relief. She’d screwed up. He would have paid the rent on the bakery the first six months? Oh God, she’d really fucked up and he would win no matter what. If she let tears spill, Jasper won. If she yelled and lost her temper again, Jasper won. If she turned and walked away calmly, the son of a bitch still won. Anything she chose, he had the satisfaction that he’d ruined not only her birthday, but everything she and Chelsea had worked for. The chances of victory were statistically impossible, so she’d need to pick the route that kept her dignity. Or at least what was left of it after heaving wine in his direction.
