i started playing ffx :-)

[pvposeur]

Gift for my sister, so far all of my Final Fantasy X art is for her lol

[pvposeur]

Did I make significant progress on my main wip today?

No.

Did I make progress on a new fic I’m not supposed to focus on till fall?

Sadly yes, and now I really wanna start drafting it.

[pvposeur]

[pvposeur]

"your first draft is meant to be bad" I whisper to myself as my finger hovers above backspace

[pvposeur]

the first draft won’t kill you. it will just chew you up and spit you out and make you better. like emotionally. or like. worse. but in a literary way.

[pvposeur]

I deserve an em dash. As a little treat

[pvposeur]

Books hitting so hard I want to write better.

Did ... uh ... did this person get shat on because of their post?? Because I wanted to see the Tweet only to find this. Either way, I have a few quick PSAs to tell y'all.

As a person with a Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing & English, I can definitely tell you that:

Em Dashes are normal. And here's one proof of that. Hell, even en dashes are normal. And, of course, the normal dashes are ... well ... normal! Haha.

Having long paragraphs are normal — fanfiction or otherwise. The same is equally true with short paragraphs and one-lined paragraphs.

And! And, and, and, and, and!

Run-on sentences have been encoded in our aether — our genetic makeup or dna or whatever floats your boat — since the dawn of time. We even do run-on sentences when we talk person-to-person.

What's next? You're going to tell me that I use Generative AI when I'm talking to someone face-to-face despite not having my phone turned on to record the whole conversation? If so, then you might want to go get your brain checked out because hot diggity damn you're ignorant as hell.

If ANY of yall EVER do this shit to me, im deleting every single fic out of spite.

If I ever catch one of yall doing this to another author and I know youre a follower of my work I will block you personally on every platform

None of yall are the fic police. I DESPISE genai. I think its an insult to art, humanity, and the planet itself. But aint not a single fucking person here qualified to pick apart a strangers fic looking for a gotcha moment to make yourselves feel superior. If you think something is ai you can ask the author (most are proud of the ai use and will just tell you straight up) if they say yes you have your answer and can warn people. If they say no and you dont believe them you block and quietly keep it between you and maybe a close group of friends. Spreading misinformation is DANGEROUS. And NONE of you doing this shit are anywhere near qualified to do it.

THIS GOES DOUBLY FOR ARTISTS.

Friendly reminder that "This character is crazy, stupid busted." and "This character is well-written." can both co-exist with no problems whatsoever. Do you have to like said character(s)? No, of course not. But that doesn't give you the right to shit on a person when people, as a whole, have been doing it for centuries on end. So don't apologize or feel bad for making overpowered, well-written OCs.

The thing about every mass effect game taking place on the Normandy is that it is home and also a tomb

[pvposeur]

kudos to writers with dialogue-heavy works, I got mad respect for y'all. love using dialogue as a tool, but my default settings are non-verbal (dialogue) and non-stop yapping (description).

[pvposeur]

“Well you watch/play so that must mean you like-“

Stfu. I can interact with dark topics without glorifying or fetishizing it.

"An outcast angel. Nobody knows what he is thinking at all. Sometimes he gets mad and that is dreadful."

[pvposeur]

I want to be a better writer, but it's hard when it's:

• 5% cool shit that you think of

• 95% filler to justify the cool shit

[pvposeur]

….well, she’s got the spirit!
