Electra • originally planned as an art/writing blog but 🤷🏼‍♀️ • Will I ever finish Inktober or NaNoWriMo? Probably not • Will I ever remember to actually post art I make in a timely manner? Probably not.

peak LGBT ally is robert pattinson and taylor lautner kissing each other so that kristen stewart didn’t have to be straight live on TV

[the-incedible-sulk]

OKAY BUT LOOK AT HER FACE! LOOK AT HOW HAPPY SHE IS THAT HES NOT MAKING HER GO THROUGH WITH WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT

The movies might have sucked, but the actors have redeeming qualities

[donnasweettttttttt]

every single thing robert pattinson ever does is intentionally genetically engineered to make stephenie meyer’s mormon blood boil hot enough for her to feel the constant neverending pain he experienced having to make and promote her movies for all those years. this is more than lgbt allyship. this is revenge.

What would you say is a good word count for a chapter? Of course, this is flexible and depends on what's necessary in a given chapter. But I think there is a general guideline because a chapter needs to be long enough to be satisfying, but not so long that it feels too much. Thoughts?

I personally write 1-3K per chapter (and 3K is rare for me). Other people average 5K or 10K or more. I find it hard to read more than 3K at a sitting, so that’s about my max as a reader but I’ve had comments on my chapters saying that they’re too short. 

All that is to say that it’s very subjective. Still, how about we get people to respond to this with their favourite chapter length? That should give you an idea. 

Readers and writers alike: how long do you prefer your chapters. K=1000, so in my example 3K is 3000 words.

[nyxelestia]

Listen anon, my dumb ass accidentally wrote a fic where the first chapter is 3k and the fifth chapter is 31k and I still have hundreds of readers on that thing. Chapters are the most convenient way to “divide” a fic but not the only way, and how you divide parts of a story narratively is a lot more important than wordcount per chapter. :)

u ever get really apathetic about your interests for no reason so u just start cycling through all your past hyperfixations in ur head out of an inexplicable need to feel passion for something

Kingdom Hearts is the Homestuck of videogames. It’s too long, too complicated, and anytime anybody tries to explain it to me I black out.

But you can’t write it for another 20 chapters because plot

Speaking of Hamilton, it’s super fucked up the reputation it gets because of some of its more immature fans. Like, yeah, okay, there are people out there that are treating the founding fathers like “uwu cinnamon roll characters” instead of the actual real life people they were but that’s….not the show’s fault? The show does a better job of showing them as flawed human beings than MOST historical media, which tend to glorify them and completely ignore all flaws and shortcomings.

But more than that, it’s fucked up that the show is starting to get a bad reputation or be regarded as “cringey”. This is a show that shattered records and set milestones in theatre, and it is a show that is like 99% non-white. It’s a show that was written BY a man of colour specifically to CREATE more roles for performers of colour in an industry where he always felt there was little to no room for them. Can we not discredit that or its importance just because some teens on tumblr don’t know how to be normal about a musical they like?

Hello, I´d like to share with you and your followers something I got from a writer in my fandom years ago. They left already but their words stuck with me. I´m going to share the wisdom with you in my own words.

Every time you get notes/kudos, imagine real people standing in front of you. Did you get 20 kudos? It might seem like it´s not much but would you fit so many people into your livingroom? It´s 20 REAL PEOPLE who decided to read your work and liked it. Imagine giving each of them a hug!

Did you get 50 kudos? Giving 50 hugs would take some time but you could give them cookies instead. Imagine 50 cookies. It´s a lot!

Did you get 100 kudos? Go to a mall and count 100 people, you´ll see it´s actually a lot more than you thought when you saw the number.

Did you get 500 kudos? 1 000? Well, it starts getting a bit overwhelming when you imagine such a crowd but it´s AMAZING that you made so many people happy with your writing. And you´d need a living room the size of a cncert hall to fit them all in :)

[ford-ye-fiji]

I did this and you’re so right- it helps!!! I was feeling super discouraged and lethargic about my writing and not at all motivated. So I went to my most popular story (which I think has about 600 kudos and that’s a lot- I know it’s a lot but it doesn’t really feel real sometimes) and just googled for pictures of a crowd of six hundred people. 

That’s a lot of people- that’s waaay more people than I see regularly- and suddenly I feel really motivated to write again because I mean that many people ???? Liked it??? my writing can’t be that bad if they did ????
