just saw a fanfic on ao3 have a dedication for chatgpt... that section is meant for your horny perverted mutual who proofread your work, you violated sacred law and you will be torn apart and laid bare btw
how to write a plot twist:
- surprise your readers!
- surprise yourself because you have no idea what’s going to happen next either.
“how do you plot / plan your book?” very bold of you to assume i do that.
I get a general idea and I picture my characters. I'll have a few scenes/plot lines pop in my head I want to happen, and I know the ending. Otherwise, I just start writing and let the characters guide me to where I want to go...
just wrote a whole lawlight makeout passage. feeling fucking weird as hell like a stray dog with rabies
no writing workshop can help you improve your writing as much as this screenshot can
A Certain Slant of Light
Chapter Two: overture
pairing: L x Light
word count: 6,123
god help me I just uploaded the second chapter to my DN/lawlight fic 🫡 this chapter killed me btw and I cried real tears trying to write it
fic summary: And he felt, in that fraction of a second, that he’d condemned this man. That he had witnessed his savage ascent, and ripped him cruelly back to the dirt by the chain that had bound them before he could belong to the sky.
It wasn’t a punishment any more than it was a salvation. But if L had to clip his wings, keep him in this state of dullness lest he set himself alight trying to reach the rays of sun, he would.
OR
After Light regains his memories of the Death Note, L gathers enough evidence to arrest him. But instead of sending Light to his executioner, L decides to make a wager.
I cant believe this fic is almost to 1k hits already lmfao I’m surprised by the support readers are showing but I thank you guys so much <3
🩵✨🩵✨🩵✨🩵
was chill and then remembered how some person on ao3 stole my fanfic lmao now I’m pissed again
the way that I refuse to make outlines for literally any long form story I write whether it be fanfic or original lol. call that self sabotage
writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.
its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%
I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3
WRITE IT ANYWAY!!! EVEN IF YOU DONT THINK YOURE GOOD ENOUGH!!! WRITE!!! IT!!!! ANYWAY!!!!!!!
I’m literally throwing up and screaming crying shaking sliding down the damn wall lmao
I love receiving comments on fics and it genuinely means the WORLD TO ME when someone gives feedback on my writing because I put my entire heart and soul into everything I make. I really do and I’m so glad someone enjoys my silly fic <3 thank you to anyone that comments on fanfics, y’all are the best and fic authors do remember you for years btw
I’m almost done with the second chapter of my lawlight/DN fic. my god I’m clawing my way to that finish line LMFAO when I say writing this is genuinely the most challenging thing I’ve ever taken up im so serious. writing these characters makes me feel like a complete moron stumbling around in the dark BUT… it’s a labor of love. So what if it isn’t the best thing ever? at least I made it with love…

If your comment is a single sentence, I will love it.
If your comment is a single emoji, or a string of them, I will love it.
If you comment, I will love it. It's that simple.
