Writing Question: how do y’all structure your editing passes?

I know the principle of it- tackle the big plot notes first, then do the prose pass, then final clean-up, etc. I just feel like I’m circling a bit on ARMV/doing multiple layered passes, and it makes it feel like I’m taking freaking forever to get it right!

So what do y’all do??

Honest question: do most people find it easier/more pleasant to read longer works on AO3?

Would clicking a link from here to there be ok?

just curious: is it a bad idea if a woman is a villain (if she's in power and high position, wants to oppress those she regard as inferior) and the man's the hero (wants to make a community a better place for those suffering)?? asking because I don't want to sound misyoginistic.

Tips on being a pantser and managing your manuscript?

I envy those who put down an outline and write their scenes in order but I could never do that :/ I would write chapter 2, then go to chapter 13, and scenes initially written for chapter 3 ends up in chapter 5... my writing is a whole mess and it’s incredibly difficult to manage in one word document.

I used trial version of Scrivener and I really loved it, but I can’t spare that money at this very moment.

Sooooo... any tips that might help?

Anyone have advice for writing a normal person reacting realistically to being thrown into a supernatural setting? Like, conveying the shock and confusion without awkwardly stopping the story every few seconds to note that the MC is, in fact, befuddled by their situation. Any input would be appreciated!!

First draft problems

I've been jumping between narrative tenses in Monarch, and was wondering about keeping Crystal in first person but having everyone else in third. I'm hoping this will work because everything is more or less centered on her but don't really have any frame of reference for how it will work.

What do you guys think? And have you read anything that did something similar?
