This has been a topic in one of my discord groups today and I’m so curious what everyone’s approach is as a writer.

Writing linearly means starting at the beginning of the story and writing each scene in chronological order from beginning to end.

Writing non-linearly means you might start midway through the story and write the beginning later, or you might write scenes at random and join them up later, or you add in placeholders as you write to go back to later (like “add action scene here”).

Outlining means coming up with a sequence of plot points to guide the story - i.e. planning/mapping out what the main story beats will be throughout it.

Personally I’m a linear writer, and I don’t outline. I have a loose idea of where the story is going to go, but that’s it. And I can’t skip scenes or use placeholder text — my brain starts shrieking at me lmao.

although the other issue is, every time i go on my kink blog, there is this one picture of me in an absolutely rocking haircut and every time i see it i want that hair. but it is extremely short and i KNOW i don't want to grow my hair back out all this way again

there are many things about living in a very rural area as a weird person that are deeply frustrating but the one i run into the most is that all the hairdressers are so fucking boring

i'm thinking about slow burn stories. and the reason i'm thinking about them is because i realised earlier that they're...not my favourite kind of fic full stop*, but they are my favourite to reread, and they're generally what i go looking for when i'm getting into something. but I think i've only successfully written one once, and so as much as i want to write one about the characters i'm chewing crayons about i AM sort of stuck here like. okay how do you do the interpersonal plot here. i AM taking suggestions.

out of curiosity, does everyone have a certain type of character they get attached to or are urs random

posting two fics of 12k+ in a month, after averaging 3.5k a fic, 4 fics a year, for a decade, is like waving a gigantic flag that says obsession acheived

there's been plenty of pushback against youtube's plan to age-check users by using an AI to analyze everyone's watching habits, but amidst that, i spotted this playlist circulating among some teens:

(picture is a reconstruction to protect the kids identity)

interesting! they're trying to trick the AI by watching videos that have a primarily adult viewer demographic? well im a curious fella so naturally i have to take a look-see, and
