writer wednesday #7 03/02/22

Happy first Writer Wednesday in March, friends! On this lovely day, may you all be blessed with the inspiration, motivation & time to write or read what you’ve been meaning, wanting & hoping to! And if you need some help figuring out where to dive in when it comes to the reading pool, why not start with one of these stories that made me stop and say “wow, that was great!” ?

As always, this recommendation list is ordered by length.

Exquisite Tapestry by @novemberrain221​

Oberyn Martell x Female Reader 

WC - 950

I... he just... he did that. He hired a painter to paint him on his nameday in his nameday suit. AND DIDN’T TELL THE PAINTER. I just... who else but Oberyn Motherfucking Martell could get away with such a thing? I’ll tell you who: no one. This has so much of Oberyn’s charm, confidence and chivalry and it was a lot of fun to read. Especially because my art skills are severely lacking so it was fun to pretend that I could paint something that wouldn’t insult him. 

Starman Part 1 by @imtryingmybeskar

Ezra x Female OC

WC - 1,320

I am SO EXCITED about this story. The first chapter is equal parts scene setting and suspense hanging, and I’m hooked. We get a close up of the currently unnamed OC - with her dog, Ben (i love you, Ben!) - alone but cozy in her home during a storm. It isn’t a particular big or violent or scary storm (although Ben may disagree) but it doesn’t have to be. Storms are always a little bit magical, a little bit unpredictable, and a little bit intriguing. But a storm that causes... something... to inexplicably drop from the sky? Well damn. I was already enjoying this immensely but now I am on the very edge of my seat and so very eager to learn more. (Not to mention the little snippet of backstory that @imtryingmybeskar​ wrote, here- um, HELLO?! I love this. I love this look at Ezra before we actually meet Ezra.) AND OH MY GOSH i just got the notification that Part 2 is up so expect more yelling about this story SOON. 

United We Fall by @dindjarindiaries​

Din Djarin x GN Reader

WC -  3,421

Wow. This was flipping good. The action, the fight scene, the urgency and emotion were all so well done. Din’s fear and Reader’s resolve throughout this were as palpable as the pain that they were both in. The Darksaber is a very dangerous weapon. Even though I firmly believe that it is meant to be in Din’s hands right now, the man needs a boatload of practice with it before it becomes less dangerous for him to use. I hate that cursed butter knife sometimes- like when it makes Din question himself and punish himself, or when it causes harm to him or his loved ones. But the way that these two take care of each other here is perfect. If left to his own devices, Din would have let harsh, dark thoughts take over so I am so glad that he has someone to keep him from going down that path. Now go get a snack, Din Djarin you’re I’m starving.

I would love to see din with a tuskan massif as a pet! I’m currently working on a fic where din has a tuskan massif as a service dog of sorts and I love the mental image. Din loves him some dogs.

A massif as a service dog?! That's original!! I agree with you, I think Din loves dogs, and even animals in general.

Here, for you: POV Din getting his visor licked by a very friendly massif.

Annabelle lived happily with her biological family until they were cold-bloodedly killed by the cruel man 2 days after her 16th birthday. She was adopted by Marcus, who felt genuine sympathy to her. She came to love her adoptive father dearly and joined the Heroics as an agent/archer when she was 24. On the present day (A month after Annabelle’s 28th birthday), when Marcus was kidnapped and tortured by the cruel man who killed her biological family (Marcus’ spirit was not broken and Marcus fought back the best he could.), Annabelle and her team (Annabelle is one of the team members of Marcus’ team.) came to rescue with Annabelle killing the cruel man to save Marcus and avenge her biological family. Annabelle rushed to Marcus’ side and she was distraught by his condition as Tech-No called for help and she wanted to cry but she tried to stay calm as she told her adoptive father. “S-stay with me, dad. Help is on the way. You’re gonna be okay. Just stay with me, please.” Marcus was unconscious and his face and body were bloody, bruised and battered with his lips split and bleeding (Luckily, his face, eyes, nose and lips were not swollen and his nose, teeth and limbs were not broken either.). His few ribs were bruised and broken and he had a few stab wounds on his lower abdomen, which were bleeding severely. Marcus was rushed to the hospital and had a surgery immediately to save his life. After the surgery, when Annabelle (Who was trying not to cry, even though she wanted to cry because she was afraid of losing her adoptive dad just like she lost her biological family) asked the doctor about her adoptive dad’s state, he kindly replied that despite his injuries, Marcus managed to pull through and his surgery was a success and now all they could do was to wait for him to wake up. The doctor also reassured that Marcus is going to be okay and he is going to make it. Annabelle sat at her adoptive father’s bedside and gently held his hand. She tried not to cry and told him about her favourite memories with him including being comforted by him whenever she had a nightmare of reliving the death of her biological family and losing Marcus just like she lost her biological family and told him not to leave her. She also told him, “I love you, dad. Please wake up. I need you so much and I don’t want to lose you just like I lost my biological family.” After that, she kissed on the top of his head and headed out and finally allowed herself to break down sobbing as her team including her best friend, Lavagirl, comforted her. After 6 days (Almost a week) of hospital visits, there was a miracle. Marcus finally woke up, much to Annabelle’s relief and joy. They gently held each other’s hands as Annabelle cried with tears of relief and joy. Marcus gently comforted his beloved adopted daughter as he gently hugged her with her gently hugging him too, being careful not to hug him too tightly.

The End

Congrats on 240!!!!!! OMG YOU DESERVE IT SO MUCH!!!!

THANK YOU SWEETIE!! 💕💕

[vercopaanir]

That sucks that you had negative comments. I’ve had that on my work too befor and it hurts. If it’s not a structural thing that can be fixed it just shouldn’t be said. You have so many dedicated readers here who love your work so just tune out the bad vibes. Writers support writers!

Yes! Creators supporting creators is definitely needed on this platform! Engagement between creators is just as needed as it is between readers and writers (or artists of any kind!). Thank you so much, I appreciate that.

I’m so sorry you got negative comments, too. I hope you continue writing and it only inspires you to create more, rather than the reverse. You deserve it for yourself and for your craft to keep going. ❤️❤️❤️

Would love numbers 18 34 22 and 1 for the ask game!

Also woodworking?! That’s so cool!!!

Hi lovely!! 👋🏻 Thank you for sending these over! I hope you’re having a good day!

(Also- yeah!! My husband and I make wooden signs and engravings. Today I was cutting a bunch of letters to inlay into some signs I cut yesterday ☺️)

I still have to peel the mask off of these 😬😬😬

1- Which of your fics would you keep the basic plot of but rewrite completely?

Some of my older stories for sure - Oblivion & I See You -because my writing style has changed SO MUCH since I wrote them. But I also I feel like a Point of No Return 2.0 would also be good - but unnecessary - just because I think I could tighten some screws and adjust some bolts and like I said earlier, PoNR is my favorite child and 🤷🏻‍♀️

18 - First, second, or third person?

I answered this one earlier- mostly second, sometimes third, have never attempted first. (But maybe I will 🤔)

22 - What is it about watching the same two idiots falling in love over and over again?

I think it’s the fact that no matter what situation or AU we as writers or artists put these idiots into, they still manage to find each other and fall in love with each other. Except for the times when the truly evil among us make them kill each other or die or whatever. Also, because every person sees and thinks about things differently, everyone is going to interpret character traits and themes differently. So even though they’re still the same two idiots, maybe now you’re focused on something you haven’t thought of before.

34 - Do you write to improve? Or is that not a concern for you?

I do write to improve. I also write because I love it and it’s fun for me. Even when I’m grumbling about being stuck on something or when I have writer’s block, I still enjoy it. But I am trying and hoping to get better all the time. I know that it’s really hard to see your own improvement though, so I try not to be too hard on myself. I’ll go back and read something I wrote a few years ago and cringe 37 times and then I’ll see where I’m at now and it helps me put it in perspective. Sometimes progress feels slow but it’s always happening, I’m always trying, and I’m enjoying it.

Ask me things!

[the-blind-assassin-12]

I definitely would like to be on your tag list for the rest of Point of No Return!

Hi!! Hope you’re having a lovely Friday!

I will GLADLY add you to the tags for PoNR!! Thank you so much for reading. That story is very special to me and knowing that others are enjoying it makes my stupid heart glow. I hope you like the ending I have planned!! 🤞🏻
