that's... not how it works. you can't guarantee that your work definitely won't squick anyone. what do you think you're saying?

[the-bar-sinister]

"squick free" someone writes on their wholesome family fic about married characters expecting a baby.

I read it and am extremely squicked.

You do not know what squicks other people. "Squick" is not a category of elements, it is a description of a reaction.

[actualaster]

Squick is literally a personal thing, you literally cannot know what squicks another person.

Same goes for triggers, by the way. You can't guarantee something is trigger-free because literally anything can be a trigger because the human brain can be weird like that sometimes.

[skaars-treasure-trove]

No no, actually there's a perfect way to write an absolutely squick free fanfic! Plenty of writers actually do it successfully every day!

Here.

This took me a good few hours and a lot of effort to make and even though it was mainly for myself anyone can feel free to use it, for the note it is still under construction and I am undergoing fixes. So If anyone actually does use this other than myself and notices a broken link or something not quite right, could you please inform me about it? Thank you.

Nothing Else Matters

I fell down a Steddie rabbit hole and now I have too many Eddie Deserves Good Things feelings than I know what to do with so here are some of those feelings!

Steve looked soft as he squeezed Eddie’s hand again. “You’ve done a lot of good, Munson. You’re a good dude, and you deserve to get high and make out with whoever you want… but I’m kinda glad it’s me who gets invited.”

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

I knew about half of this when I started writing. It’s amazing the stuff they don’t teach you in school that you have to work out on your own. And look, all beautifully laid out for you.

Part I /💛/ Part II

16th October 2018: Chicago Club Rooftop, Red Light District, Tijuana, Mexico

Mickey’s watching the sunrise from the top of the fire escape, forgotten cigarette burning between his fingers. He can still feel the last breath of nicotine warm in his chest, taking the edge off the chill of the night as he waits for daylight to find him sitting in the dark, as he’s done many times over the last two years.

It’s that first burst of orange, brilliant and new, that reminds him most of Ian. It’s warm and hopeful and searches across the buildings for Mickey’s dark form. Sunrises were always Ian’s favourite, and Mickey can’t help but wonder if Ian’s watching somewhere too. If he stares into the light hard enough and then closes his eyes tight, the blurry spots of colour will sometimes morph into Ian’s face, bright and smiling like the day he watched Mickey make it through the checkpoint. Sometimes his face will be much closer, eyes glancing over Mickey’s features like he’s deciding whether or not to say something important.

Best trick I ever picked up. Seriously.

[catastrophe-jones]

I have also learned this is great for [PICK A COOL NAME FOR A SHIP] and [LOOK UP THE FACTS ABOUT OXYGEN LEVELS] and [WHAT’S THE WORD] and [DOUBLECHECK CHARACTER’S EYE COLOR] and ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

Anything that isn’t critical in the moment, and could be filled in later while I’m currently trying to burn through writing pages that will be lost if I don’t get them out right now? Brackets.

[betweentimeand42]

This is seriously the best advice, and it really helps put it into perspective that the first draft is just that- a draft. There’s no reason to agonize over a particularly tricky bit of writing when you could just leave it in brackets and skip to the good parts, the parts you’ve visualized. I also use brackets for [fact-check this], [use a stronger verb], [is this in character?] and other notes as I write, just so I don’t forget what I want to work on when I go back and edit. 

[lucyaudley]

This works for academic writing too. If you know where you’re going just leave yourself notes to fill in later. I do this all the time,

[aziriel]

This is like the /basis/ for how I code. Structure everything out, leave comments or write empty methods so I know what I want to do, and implement later because it’s hard enough building a skeleton without worrying about the fleshy bits.

[delilah-mcmuffin]

Excellent, excellent advice.

[introvert-unicorn-deactivated20]

[petermorwood]

Much more useful than those “said is dead” lists.

You CAN adverb most of these by adding -ly, but (a) that’s a clunky and often lazy thing to do, and (b) it would miss the personality-enhancing chance to explain, with a line or two, why that character’s voice is the way it is.
