im gonna @ some people cause last time I did one of these it didn't work :)

Wait this is so fun!! I don’t know what the protocol is for this and I don’t know which of my moots write so I ll tag very freely by guessing (and without pressure)

I suck at In between lengths. all the plans I have for writing end up either being 300 words or 30k, no in-between.
I try to plan ahead but generally at some point give up and go with the flow. Oftentimes the plot changes when I do this, too!
I generally draft the overview of the story, make some bullet points, write from beginning to end. I often make an aesthetic board for a chapter if I'm lacking motivation
Other people's amazing work, and other fandoms/things irl!
I love it (it hurts so much. so much. but PLEASE I need it)
I try to get my friends to do it but generally no? It would be much easier if I did tho lol ngl
Whatever one fits the story the most at the time!
The middle, its usually there that whatever scene I was desperate to write actually happens
Oh absoLUTELY. A lot
"He blinks in surprise but my mother manages a smile from the corner. Sonya doesn’t even look at me."
OH CRAP UHH https://archiveofourown.org/series/4537597 https://archiveofourown.org/works/78915171/chapters/206985091 https://archiveofourown.org/series/6069351
i need feedback or I WILL abandon my works ngl. like ik I write for myself but sometimes I need other people to enjoy it too
I vary my sentence structure a LOT
I write emotional scenes using a lot of body language, but also metaphors and things like that. I write from experiencing the emotions, but usually never the scenario.
oh hell no (I'm asexual lmao)
trillions of ideas, but rn I'm thinking about a coltland twins sickfic
I get my friends to read my writing and suggest ideas
I generally tityle them at the start based on the theme, but it can change. My longest fic is called "and I have: there's a castle on a hill (as the story goes)" because I came up with and I have first but realized that lyric fit too
hurt/comfort o////o
I DEFINETLY have some similar characters and styles. I use first person every time, and there's a lot of angst every time. I also love the rule of 3 when describing smth.
I have done that, so yeah!
smut o////o
Just write whatever YOU want to write: other people's opinions don't matter and there WILL be someone else who appreciayes it! It doesn't have to be everyone: writing is still good even if only one person loves it.
"only write from experience. fantasy is useless, you need to have experienced it" I'm still mad about this btw. I'm a fantasy writer sooo...ouch
and I have, my maze runner fic
also and I have (I swear I have other fics that's just the longest one, therefore the wildest)
I love the scenarios I create!! specific scenes rock. the worst part is trying to get motivated. ugh.
depends, but usually about 3000 words or nothing.
I go through and edit it 3 different times, adding a LOT more words in until I'm happy with how it feels. I colour code each different edit so I can see what's changed
I share rough drafts, yep!
plot, absolutely plot
aristakay, songbvrd, and whoever wrote ATYD
probably not, i'm happy with people being able to see my work for no money. money would be good, but what's even the point?
Hopefully more committed
They HAVE to have a reason. a REAL reason. they can be scary, or they can be unexpected, but they need proper motivation for what they're doing.
Uhm. I have never written one!!! I'm only realizing this now. I'm not against them, no ofc not, but I've just- most of my works are so slow burn you don't even get the burn in the end LMAO!
Whenever I leave a cliffhanger >:D
Depends on if I like the idea or not! if I did, theyd be very very small.
Swallowing my fear and morals is easier said than done. Standing around the corner from where I know he’s going to be, I scratch my arm absentmindedly. I’m stalling for time, trying to think of a script I can follow even when every emotion I’ve ever had is trying to choke the words from my throat.
oo I would want and I have fanart, and I'd want it to be of a scene that isn't even OUT yet so I cant spoil it!!! but for one that's out hm... Newt and Thomas at the ball, sneaking outside
oh I reread oneshots but not the longer fics
the last fic I read was a series, I binge read all of them over a day: https://archiveofourown.org/series/6069351
oh no I whump my characters ridiculously hard. I take sadistic joy but atleast its hurt/comfort not hurt/no comfort
spelling weird as wierd and their as thier
Break their hearts <3
angsty, description/emotion heavy, horrifically bad dialogue
3 times, usually! or 4
someone who genuinely likes the story!
I haven't, but if I got them I'd block the person and then move on (hopefully. I'd still block them if I didn't)
16k words (its in progress and not even halfway done)
18,249 (that's not a lot, I know...)
oh yes, hell yes, I LOVE comments. I love knowing whatever people were thinking at the time!!
oh I'm primarily a reader
The daydreams I get almost constantly about the fic scenarios
Newt! and Ryland Grace, but I don't post what I write for him (its in my English book. in class. at school. where ppl can see it oh heck)
My emotion description (is it good? maybe??????)
Editing as I go
Brainstorming!!! 100000%
Oh yes, people know. my friends do, my family dont except my brother.
aristakay comments on my fics sometimes and its like !!! OMG WHAT R U DOING HERE??? UR SO COOL WHAT???
for myself to read and for others to enjoy
LOVE LOVE LOVE writing them. hate reading them
all of it (sorryyyy)
none of it (sorry again smut writers/readers, you guys just have a tolerance I do not)
The rest of and I have once I FINALLY get motivation. we don't talk about how long its been.
I shut down and stop writing
Completely independent ideas, I only like really specific tropes
Make a mood board and listen to certain songs
the self-indulgent newtmas sickfic in the back of my English book that my teacher has probably read
embarrased irl, excited online
I write it down in chapter outlines and I have notes on the front tab of the doc
chronological :( I'm boring ik
Not a lot, gonna be honest, I don't think its that good
the rule of 3 descriptions and the excessive use of colour symbolism
Any scene I find boring (usually the less angsty ones) takes me FOREVER to write
oh I have a billion ideas that never make the cut. AU's on AU's on AU's, man!
Thomas being stabbed in the stomach :D funzies!!!
no pressure but @aristakay @rotatingcrustacean if u guys wanna do this I will read allllll of your responses, thank you!!
storytime!!!
i was sending my friend bloodymary fanart because I have this weird chrome extension that lets me download images off discord onto pinterest, right? and then she says "I'm in class" and I'm like OH. oh no.
i try to delete them and she says they asked if it was bloodymary.
she lives in South Korea. KOREA. HOW DO THEY KNOW ABOUT BLOODYMARY THERE??? THATS SO COOL!!!
for context I asked her and NO this kid doesn't speak English and is fully Korean. like WHAT how does he know????
having Into The Unknown stuck in your head is so funny because that's like literally what the song is about. having the high-pitched singing thingy in your brain.
Is everyone in this fandom asexual I've yet to personally talk to a non asexual
it’s not called sex and the seven kingdoms
DO PEOPLE LIKE OVERLY GLOWY VARIAN STUFF?? CAUSE I DO
this is from an au i made up forever ago called the tampered!moonstone au, where varian gets the moonstone and tries to study it first, tampering with its powers and accidentally infusing the moonstone's powers with his alchemy because i think pink and green black rocks that explode and catch fire and emit noxious gasses is a cool idea :)
COOLEST IDEA EVER
Things the Tangled fandom doesn’t talk about enough:
• Edmund is literally so cool??
• Adira is the funniest of the brotherhood and she always clocks everyone’s tea
• Lance being the most sane out of the main cast is so funny and sad at the same time. WDYM a literal retired thief is more okay than the literal Princess who embodies the sun and all things bright and lovely!? That girl has more trauma than half of the kingdom that fought a demon. Eugene got killed once and daddy issues (Lance seems to be okay with his past more than Eugene). Cass is…Cass. Varian (though not technically main cast until s3) is a literal mad scientist ex terrorist???
Bro forget fear of spiders, I’d have a fear of your friends.
• How much Arianna has been through. Girl needs a breaakkkk
• Frederic’s egg collection. Say what you want about his ruling as king but bro is kinda funny as hell for that.
• To piggy back in the last one, Frederic being either the dumbest person in the room (“In Like Flynn”) or the absolute most strategic monarch??
• VARIAN LITERALLY BEING A MAD SCIENTIST?? BRO IS CRAZY AND WE ALL MOVE ON FROM THAT BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM?? NO LIKE BRO WAS CRAZY IN HIS VILLAIN ARC AND EVEN BEFORE/AFTER JUST NORMALLYYY 😳😳
varian with a maniacal laugh absolutely kills me. just the idea of Rapunzel walking in on him making something in the dark and he laughs to himself and she goes "oh shit" like !!! and then all he's making is a washing machine
Wylan has a habit of humming while he works on explosives, little classical pieces under his breath. Jesper finds it both endearing and slightly terrifying.
i NEED more fics (or just if anyone has any recs) of Jesper being terrified of Wylan because he's a Mad Scientist™
choices made at the teen production of Hadestown I went to last night!
Eurydice had the most sad, vunerable puppy dog energy about her, even more so than Orpheus
they didn't have a turntable but during chant they walked in 2 circles to mimic it
at the end of one of the songs (I cant remember it rn I'll edit this later) they all gathered around Eurydice and pulled her down and it REALLY looked the the turntable fall thing
the Orpheus was crying during If It's True
Oh and also the End.
They pulled her away to Hadestown again by running on stage with sheets that enveloped her. She froze with her hands outstretched to Orpheus, unable to move. When he tried to step forward they dragged her away.
Orpheus sunk to his knees, and after he uncurled his hands I saw they were shaking. So were his shoulders. His face was tucked away from me, but I think he was crying.
this says a lot about Captain Nemo
(from Villains Wiki, I think)
Some of my favourites: "honorable" and "terrorists" being labels for the same guy. also "suicidal" nooo poor nemo
ATTENTION ALL JEREMY JORDAN/MUSICAL THEATRE FANS
JERJOR PUT OUT 3 NEW SONGS TODAY (atleast for me, it says may 4 which is today in my time zone) AND THEYRE SO GOOD
theyre from the Just in Time musical just search that/go onto his profile!!!
we might be a little insane, guys
you're telling me there's no huckleberry finn fandom???
my fic! wrote this while on a SCHOOL TRIP mind you
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
something so enchanting about having an audio only Braille Legacy recording...we experience it, no visuals, going in blind, feeling the emotions only through our other senses...and I love it
so there's a YouTube version of some songs now but it feels ILLEGAL to watch. I refuse to see it. nope nope audio only wdym
kill me (maze runner ref)
guys what do I gift my friends. I'm too scared not to get them stuff but I'm so scared they won't like my gifts. like how would I be inadequate just trying to be nice but I feel like its not expensive enough and AHHH
