Prompt: An undercover assassin is making casual conversation with their target and theyāre asked if they consider themselves good at their job. The assassin looks at the target and their breath snags in their lungs as they realize that theyāre absolutely terrible at their job.
Heard someone voicing their concern about this the other day in a writersā group so I just wanted to say you do not need to write the story you want to read; just the story you want to write. For many people, these are one and the same, but itās okay if theyāre not. So long as youāre passionate about writing it, even if itās something you probably wouldnāt enjoy as a reader, thatās all that matters.
Lord of the Flies but itās an otome game
Saw this on Reddit and thought of Him
IāM
Why the fuck it just be Iām scrolling and then someone decides to write an entire novel on my timeline like holy shit take a lesson from facebook and expand post
who is old enough to be part of the fanfic.net era where we literally talked to our characters? like, had conversations with them?
cause I do. as a lonely child of 12 who had no friends, it was a favorite pasttime of mine to boot up the dial-up internet and type out imaginary conversations with ouran high school host club characters in the beginning notes before even starting the damn chapter (which was inevitably 500 words long and absolutely awful)
Modern Authorās Note on Ao3: might discuss some possible triggers, thank readers for comments, apologize for a delay in update, etcātalking to reader, essentially.
Authorās Note on FFN back in 2010:Ā
Author: Yāall are gonna love this cahpter!!!! [Character] not sooooo much
Character:ā¦whāwhatās gonna happen?
Author: Donāt worry about it! ^.^
Character: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME??
Author: ;)
Character: D:
those were dark, dark days, man. Todayās Fandom Freshman are sure lucky they missed this.Ā
This when right alongside the detailed disclaimers to avoid lawsuits.
Donāt forget that the author was broken into at least five separate voices, āInside Outā style.
or where you would have ask blogs for your ocs except it was just in a ff.net story. basically an entire classic authors note except people would ask questions. that was my childhood.
Y'all forgot that sometimes we also appeared in the middle of the text with notes like ā(author: noooo >:( character is such a b*tch!!!! character: IāM NOT!!!!)ā And it was the crimgiest shit ever but we had fun doing it lmao
When a guy stretches out and his shirt lifts up and you can see his bellyĀ reblog if you agree
Experimenting with something more rough but newā¦!!! :3
just in case nobody told you today:
you are beautiful
you are strong
your dick is huge
Cards Against Humanity is hiring new writers and folksā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.. Iāve waited my entire life for this
Hire this person
why be straight when you could be gays who play Dungeons and Dragons?
Fiction love: villains who quasi-reform, but never actually turn nice.Ā That sadistic manipulator who used to crawl inside your head and make you doubt your own worth and sanity is now the asshole on the team who snarks at everyone and likes exactly two (2) people, and refuses to grovel for anyoneās forgiveness but just keepsā¦ quietly saving everyone. Because the people worth their time will notice.
They leave weird little gifts for the people they donāt hate. Nice(ish) gifts, not Jared Leto gifts. But, like, the most cheerful person on the team gets this soap. Attempts to confront them on the fact that theyāre doing nice things for people will be ruthlessly mocked.
But they just. Keep helping these people they donāt even like that much.
Also I like this trope because like hell am I going to trust someone who went from trying to destroy me utterly as a person to trying to win me over and make me forgive them, but to see them go from wanting to destroy me to just sort of tolerating me, my backstabbing instincts are like,Ā āWell, look at that, they only threatened to poison me twice this week, they really are trying.ā
this describes almost exactly one of my ocs and i donāt know whether or not I should be concerned
Isnāt this literally MCU Loki?
āYouāre going to hell.ā
āI sure hope so.ā
āWhat, why?ā
āBecause when this world inevitably goes bottom-up, well, I would be a fool not to pick the winning side.ā
āKill me. Kill me and live with the memory. Then tell the stars that you won.ā Is such a metal quote. But itās from fucking. Warrior Cats.
do you have any recs for books (ya or adult) with strong female characters that arenāt mary sues and are like. well developed? idk but the lack of female characters that arenāt like alien (bitchy=strong) frustrates me sometimes and i want to read about strong females characters without those misused tropes and overall just blatantly incorrect? not sure exactly how to describe it but
WELP I had a post but tumblr mobile is the pits. Lemme try again.
Keep reading
OH MY GOD HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN THE LYNBURN LEGACY. Sarah Rees Brennan. YA. Fun with gothic romance tropes. Kami/Journalism OTP.
THE DECOY PRINCESS AND SEQUEL. Unclear age range, but I think suitable for YA. Princess is not a princess and must save her country anyway. Sheās a fan of poison, darts, poison darts, and knowing shit about the effectiveness and effective range of other peopleās weapons. Basically secretly trained to be a spymaster and/or ambassador, depending on the situation. Likes shopping.
CANāT STOP WONāT STOP.
Only dude author on the list so far: An Alchemy of Masks and Mirrors. DISABLED SCIENCE PRINCESS WITH AIRSHIPS AND FANTASY FRENCH/SPANISH POLITICS.
Anything by T. Kingfisher! Probably the books under her other pen name but I havenāt read them yet.
COLD MAGIC AND SEQUELS by Kate Elliott! Bffs! Magic! True love! Miracles!
Mostly bffs trained in the arts of spying and mercenarying since they were wee lasses and look out for each other no matter what, up to and including following each other into what is essentially the fairy realm and also facing off with Alternate Universe Napoleon. So much worldbuilding.
The Books of Pellinor by Alison Croggon! You can look at my chapter by chapter for more on these.
Almost all of Courtney Milanās romance novels!
SHARDS OF HONOR and BARRAYAR by Lois McMaster Bujold! Theyāre older than most of the other books here and sliiiightly dated but I would ride into battle for Cordelia Vorkosigan and that is a fact.
Andrea K Hƶst writes interesting shorter books, some of which have societies based around polyamory!
ELLA ENCHANTED
The Emperorās Edge is a fun self published series that loses a little steam later, but itās still entertaining and where else are you going to get a first lady police officer framed for attempted regicide who goes on the run and fakes a counterfeit scheme for revenge while mostly accidentally picking up a team consisting of a notorious assassin, disgraced noble, sad but brilliant professor, silent former gladiator forever tortured by his decision to do violence instead of adhering to his peace loving culture, SECOND lady police officer, and grouchy punk former gang child?
Beauty Queens by Libba Bray!
(Chants softly) Red Queen, Red Queen, Red Queen by Victoria Aveyardā¦ literally women running shit everywhereā¦ thereās a 20something who becomes a general right after having a baby, and she #canātstopwonātstop. The main protagonist is a POC, and she rocks the dyed purple locks at some point. There are POC everywhere, and everyone is amazing.Ā
Girls of Snow and Glass is about family and feminism and has a lesbian romance and Iām just ššš»šš»
To all you people out there who are self-conscious about your OCs and thinks nobody cares, just know that all your OCs are wonderful and I appreciate them. I may not be anyone, but I recognize the importance of the creativity that goes into making them.
Yes, but what a shame, what a shame the poor groomās bride is
uhā¦ Thor?
There is an entire norse myth dedicated to this exact concept
