I wanna talk about this writer’s work on AO3.
Their name is Sabbathgoat and their work is amazing.
This snippet here exactly demonstrates what a great writer can do.
So the plot is Eric is a whore and Tommy, on the lookout for a night of sex with a man, hires him without realising it was Eric.
So Tommy put out a request for him saying he was on the older side and has enough money to pay him well.
When Eric shows up, he asks Tommy this:
Eric adding “famous” to the description and Tommy correcting him adds nothing to the plot, but it adds so much depth to the conversation. It’s highlights the dynamic going on here. It’s an extra view into both their personalities.
I LOVE writing like this. It casually adds a whole new dimension to the story. It’s the difference between being a good writer and being a great writer. If fanfic is your thing, I’d encourage you to look sabbathgoat up.
