CALLOUT POST @ ALL WRITERS

Incredibly fucking slow at it 🤧
i fixed it
in my case,
How to Create Colored Text For Janus and Logan
Ever wondered how I can make text yellow? Or perhaps, dark blue?
This is the outcome:
Roman (Red): -> npf_color_joey Orange: -> npf_color_monica Janus (Yellow): -> npf_color_phoebe Remus (Green): -> npf_color_ross Logan (Dark Blue): -> this is an html color code, #2f41D7 Patton (Blue): -> npf_color_rachel Virgil (Purple): -> npf_color_chandler Thomas (Pink): -> npf_color_niles
If you think Virgil’s purple is too cheery, you can use color codes to create text like this.
Enjoy~
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS!!! THANK YOU!!!
Every writing advice thing ever: Don’t get bogged down in details on your first draft. Just write! ☺️
Me: How I begin this scene hinges on whether cheese sandwiches were served with mayo in the 50’s.
have not seen anything more relatable today >.<
let me link the world’s most useful twitter thread.
some excerpts:
there’s nothing to stop you from using the <get there> method for research details. in fact, i know many many writers who use it for just that.
PSA:
I don’t know who will see this and I don’t know what writer needs to hear this, but for the love of all things good,
WRITE AND PUBLISH YOUR FANFICTION!!!
In all seriousness, I’m talking to anyone out there who has story ideas but is
too shy
too afraid
to uncertain in their abilities
to do so. Because you know what? I get it. Way too many of us writers have either a) been embarrassed at some point or another (by people we know, too!) by/for our fanfiction or b) not thought the writing was good enough for others to enjoy or c) both. But I’m here to tell you that
Your writing is beautiful and unique and deserves to be seen by the world.
Truly.
Literally screw anyone who says differently.
And you might be scared to write / publish because you know you’ll one day look back and cringe, but when that time comes, it means you’ve gotten better since then!! Your writing skills aren’t going to grow if you don’t even try.
You as a writer are your own biggest critic, but people will love and embrace your work much more than you realize they will.
To me, writing is a coping mechanism, but it’s also a healing one too. To write is to just stop for a moment – or a few hours at my rate – and express emotions and ideas and creativity in a way that talking never quite will. And I think this is true for many other writers as well.
“You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page.” -Annie Proulx
And lastly, I think that you – no matter your age or sexuality or race or whatever – will learn something new about yourself and humanity (and anything else) as you write, for that’s what your stories do:
they open up an amazing world of possibilities that nobody but you could’ve ever dreamed up, and that, along with inviting people to this world, really is one of the most beautiful things about fanfiction.
“You may not always write well, but you can edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page.” -Jodi Picoult
If you were looking for a sign, this is it.
Ways to comment on creator's works if you're too shy to comment:
emoji ! You Don't have to formulate sentences while still conveying your opinions and feelings!
one word comments - Cool, awesome, mysterious, so elegant, ............. even short commentary is very treasured by content creators!
Just naming one detail of the content - that linework, the cool simile of that one sentence, the transition between those frames.....
keysmashes! Just.... keysmashes. They can say so much while saying nothing, true poetry
Sending a anonymous askfor a certain work! (tumblr only) - protects your identity while still interacting with your fav creator!
Feel free to add on!
TO THOSE MAKING NATIVE OCS
I see this a lot, no one has actual names, or any reference for names, that are legit Native American, varying among the tribes, for their characters.
Babynames.com and shit like that will give you names made up by white people.
However, I’ve got your solution.
Native-Languages is a good website to turn to for knowledge on a lot of native things, including native names. If you’re unsure about the names you’ve picked, they even have a list of made up names here!
Please don’t trust names like babynames.com for native names, they’re made up and often quite offensive to the cultures themselves.
Thank you!

How to Build a Plot from an Idea
I have had more than a few Asks about how to get an entire plot when you only have an idea, a character, or a fraction of the story. And to be honest, I haven’t responded to any of them because I could never articulate my thoughts on this.
Many writer blogs and channels have tackled this topic, so I will be limiting this post solely to my own method:
Write it Out
I know it can be hard, especially for writers like me who value outlines and planning, to just start writing. But it is the only way that I’m able to build up an idea.
I write at whatever point I can most easily visualize. Whether it’s at the beginning, middle, end, or a random scene that could fit anywhere. I just write out a scene and throw in all the elements I don’t have.
I usually have a set of 2-3 characters and not much more, so I throw them into an environment I’m familiar with and just have them talk to each other or try to solve a problem.
Usually, the characters and scene flesh themselves out and I get a few pages out of it. It doesn’t matter if I use these pages, that’s not the purpose.
The idea is to write with what you have until everything eventually falls into place.
This could mean writing until the other plot points come to you for an outline or writing until you’ve gone from the point you began to the end. Somewhere in this, you’ll get the ideas you’ve been struggling with.
It’s a very organic method and it won’t work for everyone, but it sure does for me. Forcing myself to go with what I have quickly shows me what I do and do not want in the story. I use the conversation to deepen my characters and find their motivations.
You Don’t Know Until You Try
It’s exploratory. Like panning for gold. You’ve got the glint of gold in the sediment, but a bunch of other crap is in the way and the river is blurring everything.
But if you don’t go for it and shove your hands into the dirt, you’ll never even get close to picking out the gold.
If all else fails, play the What If? game.
What if this place had a shared secret? What if these characters decided to run away together? What if this plot point wasn’t the ending but the beginning?
Question the Norms
One other thing I would suggest is to ask yourself if the traditional idea of plot structure is holding your story idea back. I’m going to use movie examples for this, forgive me, but hear me out.
Pulp Fiction, Lady Bird, Inside Llewyn Davis, No Country for Old Men, Hereditary, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Juno, and so many other critical and audience hits would not be as successful if their writers had not broken from the traditional 3-Act Story Structure.
Don’t limit yourself if you feel unmotivated or stuck by the traditional structure. There’s nothing wrong with it, per se, but it doesn’t fit all stories.
And remember that you’re no less of a writer or creator for struggling to mold your ideas into a plot line!
Writing is a craft and we all pave our own ways.

Thomas: JOAN!
*Voltando e o ajudando, Joan feride, olha para floresta, formas negras aparecendo, risos ecoando, luz acerta Thomas, o arremessando para longe, acertando as costas numa arvore, cai ao chão, geme de dor, tonto, ergue o rosto, vendo uma bruxa de cabelos azuis e roupas negras próxima de Joan, que se arrasta no chão. A bruxa ê acerta com um feixe de luz*
Thomas: Não! N…Não!
*sendo agarrado pelos cabelos e erguido, uma mão segura seu pescoço e o aperta na arvore, bruxa de cabelos verdes e olhos vermelhos sorri*
Ruby: Ora ora… O que temos aqui… Um sacrifício perfeito pra Lua de sangue… *sorri largo*
*Thomas se debate, pegando uma pequena faca da calça, enfiando nela. Ruby se afasta, Thomas corre pela floresta, para e cai pra trás à beira de um penhasco para água. Um feixe de luz passa voando, susto, puxa o ar, se joga com tudo, caindo na água*

Thomas: *tossindo, acordando na beira do riacho, se arrastando, ofegante, se erguendo* Minha… mochila… minha…
Voz: procura isso?
Thomas: *ergue os olhos, Ruby sorrindo, mancha de sangue no vestido dela, segurando a bolsa de Thomas, Thomas a olha, se vira e sai correndo, olhos de Ruby brilhando, avançando, furiosa, algo a agarra e a joga na agua. Ruby grita, Larah (cabelos azuis e óculos) a olha séria*
Ruby: LARAH! VOCE INTERROMPEU MEU…
Larah: CALA… a boca… *Larah aponta ao chao, cogumelos azuis alinhados* Se você atravessasse essa linha, ia ser dizimada…
Ruby: *olha a linha, surpresa* Que… Tipo de… Idiota faz isso…?!
Larah: Estamos a Oeste… É aquele Logan… E o vilarejo…
Ruby: *deixa um rosnado enquanto se levanta* MERDA! ELE ERA PERFEITO!
Larah: Se você não ficasse enrolando e brincando… Já teríamos levado ele!
Vicky: Ele te deu uma bela facada… *ri*
Ruby: Calada, Vicky! VOCE NÃO FEZ NADA DESDE QUE COMEÇAMOS!

Larah: Ele vai sair de lá… em algum momento…
