How to Fix Underwriting
1. Slow down at emotionally important moments.
Big emotions need space to land. If a scene feels rushed, pause the plot briefly to show how the moment affects the character.
2. Add reactions, not explanations.
Instead of explaining what a character feels, show it through physical responses, hesitation, or small actions that reveal emotion naturally.
3. Ground every scene in the senses.
If a scene feels thin, add one or two sensory detailsâsound, texture, smell, or temperatureâto make the moment feel lived-in.
4. Let thoughts interrupt action.
A line of internal thought can deepen a scene without slowing it too much. Thoughts show stakes, fear, longing, or conflict beneath the action.
5. Expand consequences, not events.
You donât need more things to happenâyou need to show what matters. Focus on how events change relationships, decisions, or self-perception.
6. Strengthen setting where emotion peaks.
The environment should echo or contrast the emotion of the scene. Setting is not decorationâitâs emotional reinforcement.
7. Add specific details instead of general ones.
Underwriting often relies on vague language. Swap âthey arguedâ for one sharp line of dialogue or a specific breaking point.
8. Let dialogue breathe.
Short dialogue exchanges without pauses can feel flat. Add beatsâsilence, gestures, interruptionsâto give the conversation weight.
9. Show transitions between scenes.
If scenes jump too quickly, readers feel disoriented. A brief transition helps establish time, mood, and emotional continuity.
10. Clarify stakes early in the scene.
If readers donât know what can be lost, scenes feel empty. Make sure the character wants something specific and fears losing it.
11. Use the âwhat are they feeling right now?â check.
After each major beat, ask what emotion is dominant in that moment. If itâs missing on the page, the scene is likely underwritten.
12. Expand scenes that feel âtoo clean.â
If a scene resolves too neatly or quickly, it probably needs more tension. Messy emotions and unresolved feelings add depth.
When I was in college, my Creative Nonfiction professor would regularly have us do something she called "hotspotting" (she didn't know that this was already a term tbc) with our rough drafts. Basically, hotspotting is when you look at your draft and pick out your favorite sentence, or one of your favorite sentences--one that you're really proud of--and write it down in a blank sheet in a notebook. Not a new document, a physical notebook. (You are not allowed to use technology for hotspotting.) And then you set a timer for however long--like maybe ten to twenty minutes--and you elaborate. You treat that one sentence as if it's the opening sentence to a new draft, and you write from there, until the timer is up.
It sounds like a gimmick, but honestly, some of my best writing in that class came from hotspotting. Usually, the sentence you consider the "best" is the one that really gets to the heart of something you're trying to convey. In a rough draft, it tends to be that you're fumbling around a bit before you really hit on the heart of things. So with hotspotting, you're starting from a less fumbly place, which means you're able to dig into your subject in a much deeper and more precise way. It makes you feel like a surgeon, a little bit.
So I do recommend trying it, even just for fun, even if you think the rough draft you have is already good. You might surprise yourself with what you come up with! :)
when fanfic authors say that they donât decide what happens in the story that the characters make the decisions i imagine it like this:
writer: *sitting down* type type type type *squinting at the screen* type type type
writer: *gasp* WHY WOULD YOU DO THATâŠâŠ type type type
My List of Personally Favorite and Great Fairy Tales Fanfics
Yep, you hear right. There are still fanfics being written for fairy tales. While most of them tend to be smut or crossovers with Disney movies, I have found great gems lurking beneath. (Reminder: this list can be updated if I find more)
If you are interested in stories that reminiscent of those dark tales before going to bed while also craving something delightfully nuanced or fresh take with that edge of darkness but not too long to bore you out, here are the fics below:
A Dance in Iron Shoes by Gehayi (Snow White)
All Kinds of Skill by GracefullySeven (Allerleirauh/All-Kinds-Of-Fur)
Three Sisters, Bound by Blythe (Vasilissa the Beautiful, The Death of Koshchei the Deathless, The Frog Princess)
Swanwing by Gehayi (The Wild Swans)
Slow Poison by Gehayi (Diamonds and Toads)
runnin' for a soft place to fall by lady_ragnell (Allerleirauh/All-Kinds-Of-Fur)
Promise of the Sea by Gehayi (The Little Mermaid)
mist behind and light before by cathalin (Cinderella)
Of Oceans and Ondines by Gehayi (The Snow Queen, The Little Mermaid)
A Skin Made of Sorrow by Carenejeanes (Catskin)
The Path of Thorns by Jetamors (Little Red Riding Hood)
tongue-tied i took her in by quadrille (The Six Swans/The Wild Swans)
The Six Swans by Gileonnen (The Six Swans)
faux by perennial (the ballet Swan Lake)
Gehayi wrote beautiful fics that suck you in and make you feel like you were a kid who first began to immerse into stories again. All of the authors here are amazing and if you can, check out their works and give them some love đ
Not exactly under fairy tales fandom but give it a shot if you would, they are immaculately written.
The Red Country by jibrailis (Alice in Wonderland)
Frame Story by jibrailis (Princess Tutu fic but it is intertwined with the Twelve Dancing Princess fairy tale)
âAre you the witch who turned eleven princes into swans?â
The old woman stared at the figure on the front step of her cottage and considered her options. It was the kind of question usually backed up by a mob with meaningful torches, and the kind of question she tried to avoid.
Coming from a single dusty, tired housewife, it shouldâve held no terrors.
âYou a cop?â
The housewife twisted the hem of her apron. âNo,â she muttered. âIâm a swan.â
A raven croaked somewhere in the woods. Wind whispered in the autumn leaves.
Then: âI think I can guess,â the old woman said slowly. âHusband stole your swan skin and forced you to marry him?â
A nod.
âAnd you canât turn back into a swan until you find your skin again.â
A nod.
âBut I reckon heâs hidden it, or burned it, or keeps it locked up so you canât touch it.â
A tiny, miserable nod.
âAnd then you hear that old Granny Rothbart who lives out in the woods is really a batty old witch whose father taught her how to turn princes into swans,â the old woman sighed. âAnd you think, âHey, stuff the old skin, I can just turn into a swan again this way.â
âBut even if that was true â which I havenât said if it is or if it isnât â Iâd say that I can only do it to make people miserable. Iâm an awful person. I canât do it out of the goodness of my heart. I have no goodness. I canât use magic to make you feel better. I only wish I could.â
Another pause. âIf I was a witch,â she added.
The housewife chewed the inside of her cheek. Then she drew herself up and, for the first time, looked the old woman in the eyes.
âCan you do it to make my husband miserable?â
The old woman considered her options. Then she pulled the wand out from the umbrella stand by the door. It was long, and silver, and a tiny glass swan with open wings stood perched on the tip.
âI can work with that,â said the witch.
A small list of random ass sites Iâve found useful when writing:
Fragrantica: perfume enthusiast site that has a long list of scents. v helpful when youâre writing your guilty pleasure abo fics
Just One Cookbook: recipe site that centers on Japanese cuisine. Lots of different recipes to browse, plenty of inspiration so youâre not just âramen and sushiâÂ
This comparing heights page: gives you a visual on height differences between characters
A page on the colors of bruises+healing stages: well just that. there you go. describe your bruises properly
McCormick Science Institute: yes this is a real thing. the site shows off research on spices and gives the history on them. be historically accurate or just indulge in mindless fascination. boost your restaurant au with it
A Glossary of Astronomy Terms: to pepper in that sweet terminology for your astrophysics major college au needs
Adding to this since Iâm working on a shifter au one-shot:
Canine Body Language
Feline Body Language
More:
Cocktail Flow: a site with a variety of cocktails thatâs pretty easy to navigate and offers photos of the drinks. You can sort by themes, strengths, type and base. My only real annoyance with this site is that the drinks are sometimes sorted into ~masculine~ and ~feminine~ but ehhhh. Itâs great otherwise.
Tie-A-Tie: a site centered around ties, obviously. I stumbled upon it while researching tie fabrics but thereâs a lot more to look at. It offers insight into dress code for events, tells you how to tie your ties, and has a section on the often forgotten about tie accessories
Even more:
Types of High Heels: A page describing twenty five different types of high heels. It gives a description and pictures. Shake it up from just âstilettos and kitten heelsâ
Random Job Generator: Exactly as it says. The site offer more generators like characters, plots, or town names.
Glossary of Hosiery Terms: Figure out what is what on a pair of stockings.
Menâs Dress Shoe Guide: A quick guide describing the eight most common types of menâs dress shoes. Pics included.
Types of Womenâs Coats: Descriptions and pics of various different types of coats.
WRITING REFERENCES
I asked my ancestors to whom I should give my offering. My great-grandmother replied âGive it to God, the one and almighty, the God of your ancestors. That is where it belongs.â
And all around her, many nodded, But behind her, further than I could see, others pouted. âWe are your ancestors too, and it wasnât to that god that we gave our offerings.â
âYour gods are irrelevant today,â she told them. âShe must honor the God of her country.â
âOur gods,â replied one of the elders, âleft their marks on her land way before yours did.â
âThe fields of Massilia, where she grew up, were first tended in honor of Demeter, and the sailorsâ wives in the harbor prayed for Poseidon to bring back their husbands alive, their cargoes filled with Dionysusâs wine. The city where your daughter drew her first breath still remembers the time when it bore the name of Lugh which now lies in its museum. The village where the church honored our family with a plaque for our faith was built by a forest where druids used to speak of Belisama and Belenos, of deer-antlered Cernunnos, and of the Great Son of the Great Mother. The parents of the first king who ruled your country and whose christening date is taught in schools told him the stories of Odin and Frigg, of Thor, of Baldr, and mischievous Loki.â
âI understand,â grandmother admitted, âBut tell me then to which one of all our gods should she give her offering?â
And her wise elder replied: âTo the one too few of us were allowed to honor. The god of her own choosing.â

Tagged by @cao-the-dreamer . Thanks for that! ^^ No sure if I'm doing this right, but I like doing tag games!
Tagging @allebooklover, @darkmasterofcupcakes, @lyragates, uuuuuh.... and whoever wants to.
1. Mary Malone - His Dark Material
Her chapters in the Amber Spyglass are my favorite. Lyra and Will have the spotlight of course, but she's the snake showing them a new way. I just love all the contradictions in her character. She's a scientist but she used to be a nun. She walks into a new world guided by angels through divination. She's methodical yet impulsive, logical yet emotional, and I just love the wonder you can feel as she discovers dust and the mulefas and even the opening on the world of the dead.
2. Marguerite de Rosbourg - Trouble with Sophie
The Countess of Segur was the first author I read, and I always loved the character of Marguerite from the second and third book. She's kind of a brat x) But I love how honest she is, due to being the youngest of the kids. When she doesn't like someone, she's not afraid to say it to their face, and being less 'perfect' than Camille and Madeleine, she's exactly what Sophie needed as a friend. Plus I love her design in the cartoon adaptation, the bluish black hair and little curls, freaking adorable.
3. Léna/Eejil - Le Chant du Troll (Song of the Troll)
Last book, I promise, I just really wanted to add a Pierre Bottero character. First I wanted to put in Salim or Ellana but I had to put in Léna, the little girl who refused to see that she was dead, and became the immortal companion of Doudou, the troll. I cried so many times reading her story, she's a heartbreaking character and I love that she just gets to chill forever with her troll.
4. Aster - Nu Carnival
My greedy little vampire who bleeds all the nobles dry <3 I pray for another SSR of him. I have a weakness for femboys, I'm not afraid to admit it, and that's the twinkiest twink that ever twinkled. I'm lucky I don't live in Klein because he'd get me to work for him for peanuts.
5. Poland - Hetalia
Did I mention I like femboys? Hetalia's my all time favorite anime and Poland's my favorite of the nations. I'm always sad he doesn't get more episode. He's silly and cute, but as resilient as a cockroach, his best friend hates him yet can't help but protect him. He's that type of silly character who grows on you when you scratch the surface, though you could say the same about pretty much all the nations x)
6. Patton - Sanders Sides
I don't know how I managed to pick just one but yeah, Patton, the sweetest little puffball who doesn't mean to be as controlling as he is sometimes. He's trying his best, it's not always enough, but he's learning and always trying to do better. I kinda identify with how emotional he is. Yeah, who hasn't turned into a giant frog out of stress, you know?
7. Tamaki Suoh - Ouran High School Host Club
I'M SORRY! My boy is underrated! Yeah, he's dumb as a brick and quite extreme; but he's kind, altruistic, compassionate, he's the literal heart of the host club! None of the other characters would be who they are now without him. And yes, I do think he and Haruhi are a perfect match.
8. Sebastian Michaelis - Black Butler
My first fictional crush. Yes, he's a demon. Yes, he's terrifying. That doesn't mean I didn't swoon in front of my screen when I was thirteen.
9. Dilili - Dilili in Paris
Say what you will about the movie, I adore Dilili. Her extremely refined maneurism, her curiosity, her courage, her wit when she calls out prejudice. And I love the fact that the movie also takes the time to show that, even if she's literally taking down a sexist cult, she's still a child who doesn't always understand grown up discussions. I want to write a fanfiction where she meets Kirikou and Chamsous-Sabah and they all get to play together as kids.
10. Bill Cipher - Gravity Falls
Fuck it. I know I don't have to talk about him, he's literally a tumblr sexyman. But he's the entire reason I watched Gravity Falls. He's crazy, he's smart, he's manipulative, he's charming, he's way more graphic than a kid's show calls for, and I love him.
Sometimes reading Arthuriana feels like reading Alice in Wonderland.
âWell,â said Alice, âthese are a dreadfully strange assortment of objects!â
âThey all symbolize different aspects of Our Lordâs martyrdom,â said the Fisher King, casting a line into his teacup.
âIndeed. I am sure everything symbolizes something else, for if everything was only itself I should be very confused. Might I ask what the point of the bleeding lance is?â
Alice regretted asking the question as soon as she had done so, for she saw the pun that would likely be made about the word point. Instead, however, the room erupted in applause and shouts of âThe Grail! She has achieved the Grail!â
The next castle she visited, Alice resolved to herself as the inhabitants of this one danced for joy, would be more sensible.
Or I could do this with The Knight of the Cart.
âWhich shall you choose?â asked the guardian. âThe underwater bridge or the sword bridge?â
âBoth sound dreadful,â said Alice. âI think Iâll just float the cart across.â
The guardian sputtered so hard his helmet broke.
âYou cannot ride in a cart to rescue a queen!â
âI donât see why not,â said Alice, growing cross. âIt canât be worse than abducting a queen.â
âOh, much worse! For to abduct a Queen is wicked but heard of, while to save he on a cart is virtuous and unheard of.â
âOh, tosh!â said Alice, floating the cart.
âIf you cut my head off,â said the Green Knight, âthen in a year and a day, I shall cut off yours.â
âCertainly not!â said Alice.  âFor if you can survive such a blow, it would be quite unfair to me, and if you cannot, then I will have killed a man over a silly game!â
âSilly games are the most important thing in the world,â said the Green Knight, âfor it is after them that we judge honor.â
Alice thought to herself that if this was honor, adults could keep it.
In honor of a thing that keeps popping up in Arthurian novels I readâŠ
âYou have nothing to fear,â said the robber knight, âfor you are traveling alone. Everyone knows a knight may not attack a maiden alone, but only a maiden traveling with a knightly protector!â
âThat canât possibly be a law,â said Alice. âCamelot is absurd, but not that absurd.â
âIt is not a law, but a custom.â The robber knight sounded as if he were lecturing a fool, which Alice felt was very unfair of him. âCustoms are far more important than laws, for laws may change, but customs never do.â
Alice didnât think that was true, but she would not argue the point.
âWhat about attacking a knight?â she asked. âCan someone attack a lone knight, or only a knight traveling with a maiden?â
âOne may attack a knight any time and under any circumstance. That is the meaning of the word âknightâ- he can be attacked by day or by knight!â
With the understanding that, as a maiden traveling alone, she might attack the knight and he could not return the attack, Alice picked up a handful of rocks from the ground and began to throw them at him. She was not generally an unruly child, but everyone has their limits.
Words to replace said, except this actually helps
I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they werenât sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Edit: People, Iâm an English and creative writing double major in college; I understand that thereâs nothing wrong with simply using âsaid.â This was just for fun, and it comes in handy when I need to add pizzazz.Â
In addition to a little pizzazz in the dialogue tags, these are also super useful as part of the narration, or summing up/paraphrasing something that has been said, or even in a characterâs dialogue as they describe how someone was talking!
Snarled growled hissed my BELOVEDS
Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because theyâre used to writing essays rather than prose. I donât wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesnât offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (âdialogue tagâ just refers to phrases like âhe said,â âshe whispered,â âthey askedâ):
âFor most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and donât capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,â she said.
âBut what if youâre using a question mark rather than a period?â they asked.
âWhen using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless itâs a proper noun!â she snapped.
âWhen breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,â she said, âuse commas.â
âThis is a single sentence,â she said. âNow, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so thereâs no comma after âshe said.ââ
âThereâs no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.â She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.
âIf you want to break up dialogue to insert an action"âshe gesticulated wildly to emphasize her pointâ"then you use em dashes around the action.â
âYou can also break up dialogue by placing the em dash inside the quotation mark, butââ She took a moment to catch her breath. ââyou must treat the action like a sentence. It must be capitalized with an end punctation.â
âWhen humans speak, we often get sidetracked (and share information that may not be all that pertinent, a secret, or something we probably shouldnât be talking about). Use parenthesis in your dialogue when you want to demonstrate this.â
***
âIf youâre writing a long monologue, then it likely needs to be broken into multiple paragraphs. Because one long paragraph of dialogue that takes up an entire page or multiple pages is very hard on the eyes.
âSo conclude the previous dialogue paragraph without a quotation mark, and start the next dialogue paragraph with a quotation mark. This shows the reader that the same person is still speaking, without the need for additional action or dialogue tags.â
Periodic rent-lowering-gunshots:
Fiction is not reality.
You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it's just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don't affect anyone real, so they're okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.
No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It's up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.
No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don't like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.
You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.
Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.
The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.
Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn't stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.
Sex isn't an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn't dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.
You aren't entitled to an explanation for why someone reads, writes, or otherwise enjoys certain works, kinks, tropes, ships, etc.
reblog if youâre okay with people writing fanfics of your fanfics and/or fanfics inspired by your fanfics
One quiet day on the farm, the Little Red Hen found some wheat seeds and decided to make bread.
"Who will help me plant these seeds?" the Little Red Hen asked.
"I would." said the Horse "But I'm a workhorse, and I'm too busy moving carts around."
And so the Little Red Hen planted the seeds by herself. And they grew into bountiful golden crops.
"Who will help me harvest the wheat?" the Little Red Hen asked.
"I would." said the Dog "But I'm a guarddog, and I'm too busy keeping away burglars and predators."
And so the Little Red Hen harvested the wheat herself and made it into flour.
"Who will help me bake the flour?" the Little Red Hen asked.
"I would." said the Pig "But I'm a mother of 5 newborn piglets, and I'm too busy taking care of my young."
And so the Little Red Hen baked the bread herself into twenty beautiful loaves.
"Who will help me eat the bread?" the Little Red Hen asked.
"We would." said the Farm Animals. "But we're ashamed, for we didn't do anything to make the bread."
"Nonsense!" said the Little Red Hen. "You, Horse, helped move around the stones that built my oven. You, Dog, kept me safe while I worked. And you, Pig, are raising a new generation of Farm Animals, who will too contribute to our Farm one day. You've all helped me so much by simply being you."
"Besides," the Little Red Hen added. "I couldn't possibly eat all the loaves on my own, most of them would go to waste. Come, eat with me."
And so the Little Red Hen and the Farm Animals ate the bread together. And all saw their own, and each other's, worth.
