TIPS FOR WRITING STARTERS*
1) Ask yourself âDo I need this part?â
One thing that can really weigh down a starter is information that isnât vital to the scene; key word being scene not the plot entirely. That in depth character analysis might be great writing, but a writing partner canât really reply to meta. Itâs not something their muse can interact with or use to further the scene. I know sometimes our writing gets away with us, and I have often times taken parts out of replies and then later expanded on it in another separate post because it was more suited there The same thing can be said for backstory; while I am always a fan of backstory, Iâve noticed a trend where people try to summarize their entire plot in the first starter, both for their partner and for any one outside reading it. Itâs always good to set up SOMETHING in a starter, but keep it focused on that specific scene. A partner cannot reply to just meta and backstory, you need to give them something to respond to.
2) âNo really, do you really need this part?â
I cannot stress this enough; your starter needs to set the scene⌠so it really needs to be focused on that scene. If your starter involves one or two ( or more ) scene changes before you even reach the part where your partnerâs muse comes into play; than odds are, you need to step back and focus on what really matters. Ask yourself what the purpose of this interaction is, what is it your muse wants from mine specifically. Are they an obstacle? A goal? Scene direction and focus is very important in both starters and replies.
3) ALWAYS CUT 10% BEFORE FINISHING
This is actually something I learned in a writing class and have heard echoed by authors and filmmakers, and various other content producers for years. While ten percent is the arbitrary number, what thatâll look like will vary from starter to starter. What this does is force you to focus on what actually is important to your scene, and help you remove anything that might be nice writing but doesnât contribute anything.
4) Establish, thoughts, action
A starter should always be equal parts establishing information, what your muse wants, and an action to react to. It doesnât need to be in that order, and there might be times where you need to outweigh one over the other due to the unusual nature of the scene; but 90% of the time, regardless if itâs a short para, proper para, or novella, you should always keep these three balanced.
Establish what is vital information for your partner to know right off the bat, you can always flesh things out in replies later both in character speech and in narration; give your partner some idea of whatâs going on in their head. How they feel about the situation, what they want. This doesnât need to be expository, you can convey this easily by describing the others. If they are speaking pleasantly or angrily, if they view the location as a nice or bad place. Things like that help make these things feel more organic. And of course, actions. This covers things such as speech, physical actions or anything in your reply thatâs observable to the other writer for their muse to respond to.
5) Remember you do not have to establish everything
While itâs important to give your partner something to work with, do not get carried away or think the sole responsibility of fleshing it out rests on you. Let your partnerâs reply add more to the world, add in details and give it colour. Itâs way to easy to accidentally god mod in starters by setting the scene as if you are expecting a certain response. Leave some of it to them. Its your shared scene, you both are responsible for giving it life.Â
6) Watch out for accidental god modding
When we think of godmodding, we often imagine someone writing out our characterâs actions or feelings or outright telling us what to do. The thing is, itâs easy to do it accidentally in more subversive ways. If you write a starter thatâs clearly angled for a certain type of response or end goal, plotted or not. It can make your partner feel trapped, like their just going through the motions of your fantasy, and not your shared one.Â
If you havenât plotted, ask questions like âis it okay if I say this?â if referring to their muse or past events that would involve them both. If you have plotted, than try to stick firmly to what was already discussed. Donât embellish beyond that. You can allow things to grow naturally in the scene and continue to discuss things ooc with your partner as the thread continues. Adding things without discussing them first, and they arenât strictly locked to your own muse, thatâs another way of godmodding without realizing it. You are eliminating your partnerâs ability to decide and choose things for themselves.
6) Communicate
Regardless if you plotted or not, itâs okay to admit it if you are stuck. Sometimes some scenes are fun to plot but donât lend themselves to writing as a thread as easily. Sometimes you need to talk a little more to get creative juices flowing. Do not be afraid to reach out.
7) Accept that not all starters will be knockouts.
Sometimes, a starter just wonât take. It doesnât mean youâre a bad writer. It doesnât mean their rude for not answering. Sometimes things in that set up, just donât click. Sometimes you can fix this by taking a new approach, but sometimes youâve gotta cut your losses and try again. Itâs going to happen, and accepting that this isnât a reflection on you can be the biggest challenge yet.
8) BE FLEXIBLE
Roleplaying is a mix of writerâs craft and drama/improv; the writerâs craft part is obvious but there are key stage rules that apply as well due to the back and forth nature of RP. Sometimes youâll set a scene, and your partner might see a starter and take it in a direction you werenât thinking of when you wrote it. Thatâs okay ( as long as itâs within both of your comfort zones ). The rule of improv is Yes, andâŚÂ meaning, if you expected your partner to say x but the end up saying y, donât go ic or ooc and say no itâs x. This isnât so much about writing starters as it is accepting that once youâve written it, you have to let it go. Itâs someone elseâs to be creative with. It might not go the way you want it to, but thatâs not a bad things inherently.Â
9) ACCEPT FEEDBACK AND GROW.
Let your craft develop by opening yourself up to notes and suggestions. Youâll become bored with writing if unchallenged and your partners will become bored of the same thing constantly. This doesnât mean pull a Madonna and rebrand yourself a million times, but let yourself grow.

I found a terfâs guide to being a crypto-TERF. Iâm sharing the link in a few discord servers and in a bit after picking apart the post Iâm gonna use it to write up how to identify crypto-TERFs. Stay tuned.
How to spot a crypto-TERF, according to a post on how to be a crypto-TERF
For reference, hereâs the post I found that Iâm basing this off of
They often try not to reblog from obvious TERFs on their crypto blog. (Yes, often they fail at this but thatâs not the point. Not finding anything TERFy on main is not necessarily a hint that itâs safe). But theyâll have no problem reblogging from other crypto-TERFs and liking obvious TERF posts. Be sure to check through the likes of TERF posts! Youâll find plenty of main blogs to block. Note that they might try to avoid reblogging right after liking a post so you donât know which side blog goes with which main blog. The point is to block, tho, so like, who fucking cares what side blog goes with what main blog? (But also be aware that some folks will like a TERF post cause someone reblogged it to criticize it and the notes donât give away who likes what version of a post. Use your judgement for these cases).
Iâve been saying this for years but now I have it in plain text, TERFs will post basic radfem beliefs on their crypto-TERF blogs because they know you donât recognize radfem shit until it involves trans people. I put a screenshot of their words (with a red border on it so that itâs clearly a screenshot and not part of the post). Learn to recognize radfem theory. And while youâre at it learn the arguments against it/why itâs dangerous. Examples of radfem beliefs include: bdsm is abuse, support for the Nordic model on sex work, women shouldnât wear makeup even if they want to (the idea is that they donât actually want to), the idea that men are inherently abusive (or really any other gender essentialist nonsense), being anti-porn. Thereâs more than just this, Iâm encouraging you to do your research here!
On that note, if they say absolutely nothing about trans people, theyâre likely a crypto-TERF. Maybe they just donât want to discuss it but like, if you search their blog for the word trans and nothing comes up (or what comes up has nothing to do with trans people) yet they talk a lot about feminism and lgb (but not t) stuff, you likely found a crypto-TERF. But just to be safe cause thereâs people like me who have search turned off, search for something you know is gonna be on their blog to check if anything comes up.
Download shinigami eyes if you can. Yes theyâre suggesting that they do that themselves so that they can keep track of who is safe to reblog to their mains. But hereâs the part that will help everyone: if you believe youâve found a crypto-TERF, mark them as red. Hunt down TERF posts with no criticism on them to mark everyone in the notes as red, if you feel so inclined to help out them.
For the love of god, stop stealing TERF posts. No more of that âop was a TERF so Iâm stealing itâ shit, youâre doing their job for them spreading radfem rhetoric, which in turn is making it increasingly hard to identify crypto-TERFs. Not to mention youâre validating their belief that you secretly agree with them and have just been lied to about them. (Which, honestly, is condescending as all fuck for those of us whoâve taken time to learn what their ideas are. Yes Iâm telling you to learn what radfems believe aside from the transphobia. Mostly so you can know it when you see it. Partly cause Iâm sick of you all spreading it completely unaware. I swear the second I find an accessible and easy to read list of radfem beliefs and why Iâm against them, Iâm blasting it all the fuck over tumblr. Unfortunately that would be a long ass post and take a lot of work.)
This ainât from the post but rather from the blocking spree I just went through but donât rely on things like pronouns in bio or seeing âtmeâ in there to indicate that someone is safe. TERFs who donât want you to know theyâre TERFs will try to look like normal people or even just someone whoâs trans-friendly cause they know you wonât listen to them if you know theyâre a TERF. And some of them like to joke about tme standing for âtransmisogyny enthusiastâ anyway. Actually look at what theyâre saying and how many radfem points it checks off as well as what theyâre not saying (remember they wonât talk about trans people at all cause, again, they know you wonât listen if you know theyâre a TERF).
Anyone with further info is free to add to this!
Another point I wanted to add: crypto-TERF posts can and do coopt progressive language, or they just be funny memes. This stuff is often gender essentialism, and itâs intended to foster uncritical hatred of all men (which is then leveled at anyone amab). For instance:
âmen will be like âaww, did you do that just for meâ no i did not i have never cared about your feelingsâ
âsome of yâall have yet to understand just how much men love oppressing womenâ
âI keep a picture of hatsune miku in my wallet so every time I have to talk to a man I have moral supportâ
They also love implying that women donât deserve to make their own choices if those choices are in line with some nebulous idea of âsupporting the patriarchyâ. These posts can look like this:
âtalking to housewives is so sad. itâs always like, âI had a promising career as a world-famous artist, but hey, raising my horrible kids is my duty as a woman, right? right??â like . noâ
âdo yâall not see how dystopian it is to want to hide your true face from the world with makeup? literally like wearing a mask, wtfâ
âladiesâŚ.if you shave your legsâŚâŚ..you should perhaps consider getting some self respectâ
The saddest part is, I think I could get a pretty decent amount of notes on most of these posts, because theyâre snappily worded and somewhat amusing. If you found yourself agreeing with any of these examples, or if youâd reblog them yourself, well. Just be aware that they are very much crypto-TERF rhetoric. Itâs up to you if youâre ok with supporting that.
also I am begging yâall to realize that radfems will hide themselves in the greater queer population by specifically targeting trans men and trans men only, because anti-TERF rhetoric focuses exclusively on how they target trans women.
Fuck it, I guess Iâm back on tumblr now
hi itâs been literal years what did i miss
In No Particular Order:
-No More Dicks and Tiddies -However, the tiddy ban seems to have evacuated all but the fuckign weirdest of the Discourse people to twitter, so now the Discourse is way lower in volume but drastically more intense in quality -like.  âKeystone species are a mythâ level bonkers -This site remains the only widely used social media that completely fails to (effectively) spy on itâs users. -Site went through a Major update that incorporated a ton of the features from NewXkit?? It was pretty good??? We have dark mode now???? -The hot new fandoms are âLone Wolf And Cub In Spaceâ , âWNTV But It Will Not End Wellâ, âKpop, stillâ, âCarton Voice Actors Play DnDâ and âThe Terrible Glee of Watching a Late-Stage capitalist Society Crumble While Youâre Living In It.â
So, pretty much the same but the Superwholocks have metamorphosed into Adult Nerds ⢠and returned to thier ancestral TTRPG/space opera grounds like salmon returning to Spawn.
idk if anyone needs to hear this today, but: if you are a trans dude, the fact that you are a man is a good thing and your existence as a trans man makes the world a better place. it is not a bad thing that you are a man and itâs especially not bad that you are a trans man. the fact that you exist as a man is a great thing and you are amazing. sleep well tonight
