How many chapters are you planning on doing?

Not sure. I don't want to make too many, which is why I want to make the next few chapters pretty long.

I just hope I don't go above 25.

I love your writing!

my question is how long on average will the time gaps between uploads of chapters will be? Or does it vary?

Thank you very much!

It varies, unfortunately. I don't have a set schedule for when I write. I write pretty much whenever I want to. I am also very busy with overall life.

Not to mention chapters will be at different lengths. The longer ones take longer, obviously.

I wish there wasn't so much time gaps between uploads, but that's unfortunately how it is. Thank you for your ask!

I'm so impressed with this story, it's so compelling :0 angst <3

Any general writing tips for a fellow fanfic writer? I admire your work a lot

Thank you! I'm very glad to know that you like it! It makes me happy that so many people enjoy my fic. (Wooo, first ask on this account!)

I'm trying to think of tips that aren't just beginner tips, but the first thing that comes to mind is to always, always re-write your fics once you're done. More than once, if you want. When you're first writing it your attention is focused on what to put next and how to keep the story going. That alone decreases the quality of your fic. However, when you re-write it, you no longer need to think about what to put next as it's already there. So your brain automatically re-directs to how to make it sound better and how to make it more descriptive. I made of mistake of not doing this with my fic until the 6th or 7th chapter, so the quality, annoyingly, isn't as good.

Another thing is that, while people tell you to always be descriptive and 'show not tell', and this is absolutely true, sometimes it's better to stay simple. By being completely descriptive and complex, you're more likely to lose your reader's interest because it can become confusing at times. I remember getting frustrated reading some fics because they were so complex when describing something that didn't really need to be overly described. So it ended up confusing me and I didn't know what was going on. By taking a more simple approach on things, your reader will be able to understand things easier and keep their attention. Sometimes being simple can pack a powerful punch and make your message memorable too. Like if there's a sudden surprise, I don't mean a jump scare, but you reveal something big to the reader and character. You need to show the impact of surprise in that very moment. You can be descriptive about that later on once the initial surprise has worn off. It also just gets tiring when it's just constant description, sometimes you just need to get to the point!

Hello everyone!

I made this account specifically for Sinful Duty on ao3. If you haven't seen it and are interested, please check out this link!: Sinful Duty - Chapter 1 - Kaycapo - Animator vs. Animation (Short Films - Becker) [Archive of Our Own] (Please know that this fic contains gruesome content. Make sure to properly read the tags.)

I do have a main account, but I'd prefer not to talk about my fic on there considering it's a SFW account, while my fic is the exact opposite of that.

Feel free to send any kind of asks you want! Whether it's questions or other, I don't mind! But please note that I do not like spoiling things before it is revealed. There may be a few exceptions, like if I don't mind depending on what it is, or if it's so small that it doesn't matter. (So it may be worth a try in case I spill ;) )

Anyway, how active I am on this will depend on much people interact with me. Please don't be shy to send asks!
