Question for the viewers: When was the last time you saw a fanfic with a theme?

last year (ish?), reading a handful of very short xmen-fanfics by Duck_Life, particularly their scott summers centered things. Usually themes surrounding identity (its fragility, confusion, all that second-guessing yourself jazz), character-focused stuff that isn't covered in comics anymore.

but they're definitely the exception to the rule, and the only one I could think of off the top of my head.

#fanfic#writing#writing things#also now i'm concered with the replies to this that people don't know what themes are#theme isn't a story or a hook#it's the reoccurring element#the point#the overhanging stuff#a short story about dark beast getting the drop on scott and casque of amontillado-ing him follows a theme of identity#here obtusely with dark beast's relation to beast#and how beast has gotten so horrific as to be indistinguishable from his 'dark' alt dimension self#which used to be the hinge on which their differences depended#and scott's struggling issues with being gaslit by everyone for all his life having an influence on his own identity sure#and his desperate grasping for concrete surety#surity?#certainty within the world#and how he's 'supposed to be' able to differentiate beast from dark beast#on and on and on i need to stop writing a novel there's so much to say and i'm going nowhere

writing conclusions in papers is like the stupidest thing ever though like what’s the point of dedicating an entire paragraph to “so yeah i know you just read my paper but this is a summarization of what you read in case you need to be reminded about what you just read” like why can’t the paper just end 

I keep seeing this post and similar ones, and if y'all’s teachers and professors have left you with the idea that a conclusion is a summary, they have failed you in a big way.

Your conclusion is your “so what’s the fucking point” section. You’ve given you’re reader a lot of info and now they need to know why they care. Depending on the type of paper you should be giving a plan of action, explaining how this knowledge changes our understanding of the topic, link your paper to other disciplines, suggest further areas of study, etc.

One of the best pieces of writing advice I’ve ever received is that if you can’t envision yourself dropping the mic and strutting off stage at the end of your conclusion then it’s probably not strong enough.

#you conclusion is like literally the punch of your thesis#the point#the point outlined in the intro#your conclusion brings the reader back to that earlier point now that you've presented all the evidence#and is like 'WHAT NOW. WHAT NOW'.#'COME AT ME BRO'.#it's your last word in the argument#and i mean that in the 'have the last word' kinda way#yeah it's not easy to write holy fuck#i found writing conclusions is easier than intros in some ways#but still
