Writing Masterclass: Show Vs Tell

Show Vs Tell- how to improve your descriptions.

Last week we looked at character archetypes (If you missed it you can check it out here). This week I would like to look at exposition and description and how best to avoid lengthy paragraphs that drone on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on…

A Professor’s Tale Productions, now accepting interns!

hahahaha okay i’m a nerd

I have a total of 6 WIPs on AO3 and I thought it’d be really cool and fun if anyone wanted to join me on the journey of finishing them up! Think of it as a free master class! I don’t pretend to know everything, but when people come together to create, they learn from each other! We’ll put together group chats as a sort of writers’ room to talk about story ideas and then share a google doc to edit the story. Let me know if you’re interested in this! I’m going to make it a maximum of 5 people to join me on each story. If more than 5 people are interested in one, then I’ll cry and have to make some kind of decision and end up letting more people join probably, but that’s the idea!

Here’s the six fics, let me know which one you’d want to work on with me! (PS I’m employed at a development studio in Hollywood now so I’m KINDA A BIG DEAL lmao jk I’m just learning a lot from talented people and I’m happy to pass on that knowledge)

Fandom: X-Men First Class

Drama Queen- High school AU, Charles is the lead in the theater production of Peter Pan. Erik is a computer science nerd who is working in Tech for the production, but his passion is creating video games. From two opposing ends of the high school clique worlds, can they conquer their differences?

Mind of His Own- Crossover with Penelope, Charles locks himself in a telepathy proof mansion so the worlds’ thoughts don’t overwhelm him. His new butler, Erik, doesn’t know why he’s locked away, but he’s determined to convince him to come out.

Fandom: Supernatural

Skin- High school AU, Sam and Jess are high school sweethearts but Jess learns she has cancer. Dean is worried about disappointing his dad while hiding a secret relationship with Castiel. He doesn’t want anyone to know he’s bi, but it’s getting harder to hide it as he falls harder for Cas.

Broken Harmony- Dean and Cas are happy together. It's weird to see Dean smiling, but he is. Cas leaves without explanation and something is happening to Dean. No one realized how complementary they were to each other until they were apart.

Through the Looking Glasses- The hipster glasses let the Winchesters see Castiel's wings. Dean totally doesn't notice. He doesn't. It doesn't change anything. Really.

Fandom: Captain America

Pride and Previous- Pride and Prejudice crossover, Nat sets up Steve and Bucky on a blind date. It turns out, they’ve already dated and hate each other. They keep going out just so Bucky can win a bet he made with Nat, but the facade is hard to keep up for more reason than one...
