I wish there was a website where you could input a character's description (height, weight, sex, medical conditions, etc.) And a situation (car crash, falls, stabbing, etc.) And it would calculate for you from most to least likely the injuries that character would receive, potential complications, and how long it would take recover. This would make writing injuries SO MICH EASIER if I wasn't guessing at everything

So it looks like NaNoWriMo are happy to have AI as part of their community. Miss me with that bullshit. Generative artificial intelligence is an active threat to creativity and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people in creative fields.

Please signal boost this so writers can make an informed choice about whether to continue to take part in such a community.

i, personally, love to straddle that fine line between “fandom blog” and “record of complete psychological breakdown”

Guilt [Zandik x Sohreh fanart collaboration with @clavdere]

This time I have something very special to show you! Me and my friend Claude (clavd_ on Instagram, @clavdere on tumblr - he's a very skilled artist and I highly advise to visit his profile) managed to create an artwork for Zandik and Sohreh! Their story is uncertain and we wanted to capture many conflicting feelings here. Contrary to popular rumors, it's unclear if Zandik has something to do with his classmate's death. When you sprinkle it with a bit more tragedy and drama, you can see much more blurry picture of events. Similarly, blending our styles was a challenge, but we really love the final effect!

Zandik part was drawn by Claude. Sohreh part was made by me!

Don't repost this artwork, please! I'll appreciate likes, comments and reblogs. ♡

Finally completed work. For me it is a pleasant experience of drawing with a friend (he drew Pantalone).

I wish each individual chapter of a fic on AO3 had the date when it was posted, rather than just when the fic was first posted and when the last update was.  

That way you can see at a glance how often a WIP is updated, whether it’s fairly regularly or with huge long gaps between chapters; or if the first 20 chapters were posted in quick succession but the most recent couple were posted at long intervals, indicating that the writer is losing interest and may not finish, etc.

Was wishing there was a positivity post for original fiction writers since I see so many about how fanfic writers are doing so much for their communities even when they're not actively writing, and then I thought:

Be the change you want to see in the world.

So this is a positivity post for the writers out here who are working very hard on stories with no established community. Who can't talk about their blorbos and plot lines and brainstorming to anyone and expect them to know what any of it means. Who don't have much to share publicly, but are hoping they will one day.

You're doing a lot of hard work, and I recognize and appreciate what you're putting into the world, even when you're resting.

I love me a pseudo-historical arranged marriage au but it always nudges my suspension of disbelief when the author has to dance around the implicit expectation that an arranged marriage should lead to children, which a cis gay couple can't provide.

I know for a lot of people that's irrelevant to what they want from an Arranged Marriage plot, but personally I like playing in the weird and uncomfortable implications.

So, I've been thinking about how you would justify an obviously barren marriage in That Kind of fantasy world, and I thought it'd be interesting if gay marriage in Ye Old Fantasy Land was a form of soft disinheritance/abdication.

Like, "Oh, God, I don't want to be in this position of power please just find me a boy to marry", or, "I know you should inherit after you father passes but as your stepmother/legal guardian I think it'd make more sense if my kids got everything, so maybe consider lesbianism?", or "Look, we both know neither of our families has enough money to support that many grandkids, so let's just pair some spares and save both our treasuries the trouble".

Obviously this brings in some very different dynamics that I know not everyone would be pinged by, but I just think it'd be neat.

Ao3 hate bot is going around leaving nasty messages. If you get a comment like this mark it as spam. According to comments it seems to be going to most recent not fandom specific.

Ya'll are about to love me or hate me. Probably both, but...

THE NEW CHAPTER IS FINALLY DONE!

day 1 of dottolone week ! - first meeting

i like to think it wasn't noticeable at first, but pantalone is actually a like-minded yapper that dottore can spill all of his ideas to
