Write the bonkers, unhinged, weird idea that you think no actual person will like. Because guess what? You're an actual person, and you liking it still counts.
also, who logs onto ao3 for hinged ideas, really

OH SHIT.
A couple more resources I have open constantly:
Random motivations for your characters here!
Need some character quirks? Here and here!Ā
Having trouble with backstory? Here! (They have an option for fortunate and unfortunate backstories)
Friends with benefits who have banned kissing to keep things from getting complicated, fucking face to face, they're breathing each other's air, they both want it, they're so close.
Yeah, I love that trope.
Hi! Have you posted your story on here/AO3? Iād love to read it, Iāve been itching for some Grant Ward appreciation š
Thank you for your interest, itās really encouraging!!!! Dumpster Fire is still mostly in my noggin, but fragments of it are scattered in places like my Tumblr drafts, Scrivener, gdocs, and about a half a dozen other places I can write and then forget exist. DF still has a ways to go. I promise Iām still working on it, and I hope to finish it before I die. (My friends do, too.)
I will continue to write and share bits of it here (I will try to do this more often). I also hint at things through the stuff I reblog.
I can, however, promise the story contains lots of Grant Ward appreciation and deprecation because heās great and terrible and I love him as a character (although heās not my favorite) and I love trashing him, but, like, affectionately. And also because there are some things about him that need serious addressing. Iāve also taken some creative liberties with his character that I feel add more depth while also staying true to who he is in the show. (Heās a big reader. Like Rory Gilmore big. Almost always has a book on him. And in my head heās also Sapiosexual?)
ANYWHO. I can literally talk about Dumpster Fire for hours, so without further ado, hereās a flashback to Wardās academy days (when he was around 21/22)Ā featuring his adversary/best friend/eventual enemy/eventual love interest!
How To Avoid Plot Armor
Plot armor is when important characters seem to survive each and every treacherous obstacle that is thrown their way just for the sake of the plot. The readers know that your protagonist is important and wonāt meet their demise because who else will defeat the bad guy in the end? This can result in underwhelming battle scenes, loss of suspense and an overall boring experience.
Here are some ways to avoid having your readers noticeĀ the plot armor (because letās be honest, itās there whether we like or not) or at least make it more realistic:
1) Injure your characters. Let it be known that no one is safe. During the heat of battle, the prized soldier loses his sword arm. The invincible superhero receives PTSD after witnessing a terrible event. Raise the stakes!
2) If they escape, make it believable. Did they sacrifice something to escape? Did a past experience give them the wits and knowledge to outsmart the danger? Justify your protagonistās escape. Donāt make it an easy get away just because you need them out of the situation.Ā
3) There are consequences. Every action sparks a reaction. Have there be realistic push back. Your character shouldnāt be immune to the rules and laws of your world.
4) Detailed Explanations. So, your character needs their limbs, their sanity and anything else you could strip them of. How do you make it seem like theyāre not immune to everything then? Equip them with what they need (knowledge, weapon, confidence, etc) and really sell it to your reader on how they survived.Ā
Thereās no way a teenaged girl stakes a 400 year old vampire just by picking up a branch and defending herself. Equip her with some knowledge of vampires (fanfics to the rescue?), an ancient relic that she unknowingly wears around her neck and an insane amount of adrenaline⦠and maybe Iāll believe it.
5) Kill off other characters. Have their deaths affect the protagonist.

I feel so attacked right now...
Me: āIām going to write SO well today, just you wait and see!ā
My brain: āYou can write one (1) intelligible sentence today. as a treat.ā
āthey tried to kill each otherā yes and? do you have a problem with true love
Reciprocal murder attempts are fine. One-sided murder is problematic in a relationship, though
They do say that a relationship is doomed to fail unless both parties are putting the same amount of effort in.
what is a writer, if not a miserable little pile of ideas and half written google docs
if you dont decouple your drive to create from your desire for attention you will go insane. simple as. you will never feel satisfied b/c you will always want more and you will feel perpetually bitter that you did not get what you are āowedā
Itās an unpopular opinion but it is absolutely and completely true. Iāve never seen someone who creates for engagement happy with the engagement they get. I posit they canāt ever be happy that way because it will NEVER be enough
āravens are symbols of death, demons, and the underworldā
