Hey, I love your stories. I'm trying to write my own SMAU, formula 1 x Glen Powell inspired, and I was wondering two things one is where do you do your visuals like the text and post, and second do you have any advice for me please
hey angel!! i'm soso happy you enjoy them!
i get how weird it can all seem at first bc i was soso confused at first-
playin' the players is my first SMAU (so it might not be perfect) but this is all i use!
regarding apps i use MEMI for chats (private/gc), TwiNote for twitter and PhotoNote for instagram. (tho sometimes i use a 'template' i created on canva for the ig stories, as seen on topper and johnb's storie on chapter ten / halloween night - you can screenshot the template and erase the background using remove bg).
in the other hand, for things such as gmails (as shown on ptp chapter twelve) or tiktoks (also cpter twelve) (or even text messages from ruthless - for example chapter 3) i use the prankshit website— they have SMS/calls/emails, social media (i've even seen snapchat!). its a great alternative if you dont want to download any apps to create your smau's, but keep in mind it won't save the info if you close the tab!
something that's also important is to add dividers if you're adding text (mostly so readers won't keep scrolling and spoil themselves without knowing it! i create my dividers choosing pinterest pics / bows or whatever and erasing the background with remove bg).
and as advice i would say enjoy the process- have fun, unleash your creativity and trust your ideas! something that helps me a lot is brainstorming (i always keep a small notebook on me and i write my ideas— chapter titles even if i still don't know what chapter will it be, an idea / scene i want to add even if i still dont know where im gonna put it, random dialogues... in conclusion, brainstorm whenever inspo hits).
but mostly trust your gut and go with the flow!
hope you enjoy creating your SMAU!! 💗💗💗
