#writing quality

I'm a bit curious if The Loud House fandom is still active or not, at least the saner part of the fandom (the ones who post fanart, GIFs, and speculation posts). It's just that I wonder if anyone here still watches the show considering its staggering ratings and admittedly dwindling writing. Lately, its latest episode, "Bye Bye Birthday", premiered on Nicktoons last month with 0.09 million views (that's probably around 90,000 views). Not to mention that its spin-off, Los Casagrandes, had been cancelled about a year ago, and its unwanted live-action spin-off, The Really Loud House, is still airing on Nickeldeon with staggering ratings as well.

Don't get me wrong, I still like the show and its abundance of characters. I especially love its comic strip-based cartoon style. It's just that I feel that the magic it had isn't there anymore. Maybe it's because that the show grew more fantastical than reality-grounded, especially with its movie and how it focused on... dragons and ghosts.

Anyway, I feel like this show isn't as popular as it used to be, and I wonder if some of the fandom here feels the same way. Maybe I'm getting too old. I don't know. Anyway, I'm going to see if I could finish up my two-year-old draft on The Loud House and what it could have been.

Do you still watch The Loud House and/or Los Casagrandes?

I still watch the show despite its quality and remain as a fan to this day.

I still watch the show, but I'm a bit neutral about it right now.

I'm largely neutral with the show and its writing right now.

I still watch the show, but I can't seem to ignore any of its poor writing.

I can no longer watch the show the same way anymore, so I bailed out.

I no longer watch the show anymore, as I already bailed out long ago.

I feel some other different thing about the show and its writing.

Some or most of the choices above.

The Importance of Revisions: Tips for Improving Your Writing

Writing is a creative process that requires dedication, skill, and the willingness to revise and improve. While the initial draft of a piece may capture the essence of your ideas, it is through the process of revisions that your writing truly comes to life. Revisions allow you to refine your work, polish your prose, and ensure that your message is effectively communicated to your readers. In this…

“Why the heck would you encourage people to write Mary Sues? Mary Sues are terribly written characters that have no flaws and writers wind up being ridiculed for it. Why not encourage them to make characters with flaws and make them genuinely good characters? Mary Sues aren't progressive in any way. It just leads people to think of women as being absolutely perfect people, which they're not, Good female characters have flaws and you should be able to write flawed characters. Wtf.“

“I wish more people understood that painstakingly describing everything in sheer detail isn't always a good idea. It can make your writing repetitive and boring quite easily if you focus on random, unimportant things without any logic. Let me explain. If your character sits on a chair, and does such multiple times in a thread or reply, you don't have to ALWAYS put down a LONG paragraph about it. Unless you're adding something important, a brief “He sat down and crossed his legs” works just fine.“

“I don’t follow this trend, but seriously, stfu. If people wanna say “adored by” or “loved by” or fucking “scribed by”, fucking let them. Why? Because they do adore the character, or they wouldn’t be fucking roleplaying them. It literally has NO effect on you other than irritating you, and who cares? It is their blog. Let them do what they want.“

“You know what’s worse than seeing a duplicate that plays a horribly out-of-character, angsty version of your muse, yet still manages to be more popular than you? Seeing a duplicate play a horribly out-of-character, angsty version of your partner’s muse, and yet they still manage to be more popular than them. You play a canonical supremacist who committed genocide of a race of creatures who he’d deemed inferior. He is not a fucking misunderstood, angsty cinnimon roll who just wants to be loved. You’re so OOC that you even manage to make my own muse OOC whenever you write IC heartbroken outbursts about him. How the hell do you manage that? The canon character of my muse would have never fucking pledged loyalty to someone so pathetic.“

“The problem with “digits” as fingers isn’t that it’s etymologically incorrect; it’s that it’s a word that needlessly calls attention to itself because it isn’t what’s commonly used for a very simple concept. It’s like overusing epithets instead of your muse’s name/pronouns because you think you’re using those words too much or you want to sound “special.” Sounding “special” for something that should probably just be beige is jarring. Your vocab shouldn’t take the focus away from your writing.“
