Ahhh just thought of a sad scene for one of my fics!!!!

Ramble about that one fic of mine under the cut

The worst part of publishing part 1 of a fic before you’ve finished writing the whole thing is that you can’t really change things when you decided to take a different path.

I’ve changed so much of the story from when I first published it, and the changes aren’t details that you’d really have to reread it for, but they become important later in the story (for example, I thought Philip/Laurens’ eyes were brown at first but they’re actually green (me & Anthony Ramos have the same eye color it’s bizarre, I actually think we would have looked very very similar as kids cause we also have the same hair and some similar facial features, anyway), and by habit I called Alexander’s eyes blue, and part of the plot actually relies on the musical’s double casting of John & Philip so it would be odd for Alexander to not be musical Alexander (the way I’ve always written historical!AH’s appearance is actually quite similar to musical!Laurens which I find kinda funny) and also I added some dialogue towards the end but that doesn’t add too much).

And then there’s also the dialogue. I actually speak using similar speech/grammar as many of the characters in the musical, but the way I write doesn’t usually reflect that. I have a hard time writing in dialect because I kind of hate the way I speak and typing it as I speak just draws attention to it. For example, I typically pronounce “It’s going to be fine” as “Is gum'be fayhn”, and while I might write “It’s gonna be fine”, it isn’t what I’m actually thinking when I type it. Similarly, I’m worried that people won’t read the character dialogue correct. Like, *I* read it in the characters’ voices, but I don’t know how the average person’d read it. I’ve seen people really push for writing dialogue in dialect but it’s always made me uncomfortable especially in fic because I already know how the characters speak and if it’s good writing/characterization, I’ll read it in their voice regardless, and it forces me to take a longer time to read things (though that might be in part due to my ADHD, cause I’m not good at reading comprehension in general). Okay, enough with this, I have a Latin test tomorrow.

@alyssaannfrank I love when people comment!! No worries!! Tysm!! I worked very hard on this!! Glad you're sad!!

[zippers]

I was wondering when the next chapters in your fic will be up? Cause it's honestly one of the best things I've read in awhile

tbh it will probably take awhile. part 1 took 2 months to write, a mix of writer’s block and school, though now that I know people are interested in this I’ll likely be more motivated! Thanks for your support!
