“what’ve you been doing to cope with the pain that you won’t be able to see all your friends here together?”

dust off old beats i made a year ago and finally posting it

since i got no idea where i can take this beat to next, may as well just post it and see what happens

[lhugbereth]

so i was re-doing my blog and organizing my shit and everything until i found out your username has been "L"HUGBERETH instead of "I" HUGBERETH the entire time. wtf is up with that? your username makes even less sense now explain yourself

MY FRIEND

Do you have any idea how many people have told me this? Even people I’ve know on this site forever xD 

Yes it’s Lhugbereth with an L not an i, it’s a moniker I’ve used since high school when I was a huge LotR nerd (did I ever really stop?) In Sindarian, it means “snake queen” because my father and I kept pet snakes. So yeah. Now you know! Lol

first, wanna say i've been a fan for a while now and think you're pretty rad. second, do you have any tips in writing multi-chap fics where one isn't just spilling the entire story in the first chapter? basically how to do the correct pacing is what i'm saying, cause i feel like everyone knows that during the writing process, it seems like a scene has went on forever but could only be read in five seconds to the reader.

first of all, thank you! i appreciate it <3

as for your questions, it seems like you’re asking both about how much information to give in a scene, especially at the beginning, without it being too much? lemme know if that’s not right

my rule of thumb for writing is to write what you would like to see as a reader. like i, as a reader, like to learn about the world while followinga character through their life. if something happens that’s out of the ordinary, i show that by the protag’s reaction and other character’s. i generally like to avoid exposition (tho it’s sometimes necessary AND it’s also a style thing)

i certainly don’t know everything that’s gonna happen in a story when i’m writing the first chapter. A Royal Soulmate’s main plot has changed a few times since i started writing it. but it works because my first few chapters build the world without putting much down firmly since i describe what the characteres do and not what the rules are for soulmates, which means i’m not trapped by it. it’s given me a lot of room to breathe in terms of plot and mechanics

also, for AU mechanics specifically, though it sounds like you’re worried more about plot--most people don’t have a firm grasp on how the world works around them. like if you ask someone to explain common social norms, they can’t articulate them, but most people know the social norms enough to abide by them

my first post about my music! 

this was a birthday present for my good friend @lhugbereth, a lot of back and forth going on with this song but i’ve finished finalizing it and happy with the results. 

since i had such a blast doing this, i’ve got motivation to make more music now, holla! first i gotta promote my other tracks, so stay tuned!!!

btw all my songs are free to download if you so wish to download them!

how the holy hell do you manage to churn out 2000+ word fics left and right? i can barely manage 1000 words

HAH. The real question is, why the hell can’t I ever keep things short lol 

Honestly, though. Working on stories with plot, it’s easy to hit 5k+ with world building, set up, dialogue, suspense.... Most story ideas out there are far too vast and explorable to even contain in a short fic, and trying just gets frustrating after a while (like those Ignoct drabbles I did last year, where the goal was 200-300 words max and I went over by at least double every.freaking.time. 

But PWP fics are a little more difficult to stretch out. I think the key is detail - talk about the foreplay, describe the emotions the characters are feeling, go into detail about the tastes and smells and visuals ;) And I guarantee you’ll go over 1k easy. In fact, you’ll probably be thinking at some point, “goddamn, this is detailed to the point of being WAY too TMI!” - and that’s probably about perfect lmao

mah dude, why don't you set up a paypal account. i would totally go for that promptis auction but wow do i not the doujin itself. you think it would be cool if i win the auction and you give away the doujin to a lucky person

Lol I did set up a paypal account dude :) It took a while and a lot of hassle, but it’s up and running. The problem was keeping in contact with the winners of the auction. Long story short, the first person overpaid and then, after I declined the money, ignored the next ten (that’s an exaggeration) emails I sent. So back to the drawing board of starting the auction over.

There are still seven unsold sets (including the Promptis ones) which you can see in detail

6 and 13 for the writing ask meme!

6. Do you share your work before it’s finished?

It changes now and again. Sometimes, me and @liesarebullets-mouthsagun will exchange fics we’re writing and look over it for each other for edits and general criticism (which I really appreciate as I can make things unclear), and I have a few friends IRL who are really good at editing that help me look for grammatical errors and such.

Oddly enough, these were all the works I posted to Ao3. I have old works on FF.net that I never had people look at before posting. I... guess that moving onto a new platform changed how I interacted with people? I only just realized this now.

Right now, I have something in the works that I’m working on (and hoping to make a build up of chapters for) before I post it. The reason for this is because this fic is probably really personal for me, and I’m not comfortable sharing some of this stuff openly with close friends and having to explain it.

13. Which authors or styles do you try to emulate in your writing?

I do my best to not emulate a lot of people when I write and stick with my own style, as I tend to do a certain... thing where I tend to emulate whatever it was I recently read unintentionally. This can mess up something that’s either a multi-chap fic or something I was in the middle of writing.

For example: if I just read something in the first person and in present tense, I’m gonna struggle with tenses in my writing (I typically only write in past tense, as I’m most comfortable with it), and I might slip into first person when something was originally written in third. As such, I make sure there’s a brief period of time between me reading a novel with a drastically different style than mine and writing something.
