i just wanted to say im absolutely loving your yoi cat au!! i love how much viktor meeting cat-yuuri parallels the night at the banquet lol. i hope you keep going with the au- id love to see if cat-yuuri eventually warms up to viktor ^_^

Cat-Yuri would definitely warm up to Victor. Victor needs a snuggly cat, and every time he picks Yurio up he ends up with a hissing noodle who only wants to be put down.

do you have any recommendations for books or online resources about how to improve your writing / write well? just wondering ^^

Hmm! I took one creative writing class in college and I really liked the book we used for that, though I only read some of it: “Writing Fiction” by Janet Burroway (think we used eighth edition). It’s just about the only college textbook I kept!

Other than that, I really, really, really, SUPER love the Brandon Sanderson lectures! They’re mostly geared towards writing SFF (which is what I do when I’m not writing fic) but I just love everything he has to say about storytelling. They’re super long but you can listen while folding laundry or doing dishes or something! I listen a little bit at a time.

Furthermore, I tend to read the blogs/pages of authors I like, though I’ve been doing it less recently. Lastly I think one of the best things you can do for your writing is to read a lot! Your scope will widen by reading various genres and styles. I definitely struggle to find the time/motivation to read sometimes because it’s so much easier just to scroll twitter or tumblr (and once a book hooks me I tend to finish it in one fell swoop so I’m always ~between books~) but if you can block out some time in the day to read I think that’s very helpful! You’ll notice passages in the stuff you’re reading and identify what you like & don’t like, etc. A lot of it isn’t conscious, though it will make you a much more critical reader, which isn’t always welcome---but as a critical person, when you appreciate stuff, you end up really appreciating it! Ah, anyway, I’m starting to ramble, but these are some of my recs C: I hope they’re helpful!

ah tysm! ill definitely check out those lectures. and i suppose i should read things other than just fics in my free time...

Fics are great too! :D But they tend to have a specific focus (mostly on romance) and imo it’s helpful to learn things outside of the fic skillset so you can bring that stuff in where it’s useful. I didn’t mean to sound like you can’t learn from fic, but definitely widen your range yeah :D (though for long periods of recovering from rl shit I read just fic and romance books so IT’S NOT LIKE I’M ONE TO TALK haha)

I second the Burroway book! It is a fantastic resource for aspiring writers!

Ahhh good! I feel like a bit of a fraud reccing it since I didn’t read much, but what I read I liked a lot. It has writing exercises too!

6, 24, 34 for the anime asks :)

6 - List your top [5] anime OSTs

Kimi no na Wa

Haikyuu

Aldnoah Zero

Erased

Orange

24 -  Name [1] anime you wish everyone would watch

Aoharu x Kikanjuu!!! It’s honestly so good and I feel like it’s so underrated because people see the first episode and think it’s going to be an Ouran rip off but its really not. Also Days the soccer/football anime that just finished airing. I’m not sure why it’s not as popular as other sports anime but it’s so so good and so motivational!

34 - Have you ever watched an anime only because you liked a specific character?

Hmm Prince of Stride wasn’t anywhere near as good as all the promo and hype made it out to be, i think by the end of it I was only really watching it for Riku, Kyousuke and Kaede, but I still enjoyed it somewhat I just wish more had been done with it

Anime Asks

Ahhh they’re a really good writer! I’ve read a lot of their works before. I had read that fic but only when it was a single chapter so thank you for telling me about it. I went ahead and read it before answering this ask so I could properly recommend it, thank you for recommending it to me!

Fuck: LevMarry: BokutoKill: Ushijima (IM SO SORRY BBY)

VIKTUURI FIC REC

A Choreographer’s Dilemma rating: Mature((post ep 7, Viktor asks what Yuuri wants him to be to him—again))comments: It’s very poetic and the language is overall beautiful? Very realistic portrayal of Yuuri’s anxious thoughts imo
