Now seems like a good time to remind you that if you can't read a physical description or stage direction in one of my stories without being thrown out of it please tell me!

I found out fairly recently that some male readers read IKWK in spite of the female reader character, and while I can't make her nonbinary, I have become so much more aware of when I mention her femaleness and whether or not it's necessary at that time.

I would love to be made more aware of traits to keep in mind when I'm making these sorts of choices! Right now, I have certain parameters that I use, but I'll try to adjust them when I can 🙂

Notice:

Starting in April 2020, I will be taking a 6-month writing hiatus due to family reasons.

I will probably still be somewhat present on tumblr, but I won't have any updates during this time.

Please note that this is a 6 month minimum. You may regularly and politely inquire if I intend to return to writing starting in October, but please understand if I extend the hiatus.

Thank you.

I’ve actually written a little more on Half is Better Than None! The scene I’m working on features Kuwabara and just?? He’s such a good guy! Kuwabaraaaaa

Do you read chapter titles?

[silvermalkin]

Me, reading a fic: That was surprisingly enjoyable. I wonder what direction the next chapter is going to take.

Me: *stares at my open word document*

Me: .....

Me: Good question.

Hey there! I went and binge read all your fics and I gotta say, your characterization is AMAZING, not just in your YGO ones but in HIBTN too!

Really though, this means a lot to me especially since you read Half is Better Than None as well! That fic gets very little attention, which is a shame bc it's what got me back into fic writing.

Thank you so much for coming to tell me this; I try very hard on my characterization and it's wonderful to be appreciated.

How do I enjoy writing again? I'm not blocked, really. I just don't want to do it. But I want to want to do it. Yeh? So how?
