#again this is just for me

[rowarn]

sorry i wasn't specific with my ask! if you could just give me some ideas on how you get your inspo and word usage, that's mostly what i'm looking for! anything is appreciated though, thank youu. :))

RIGHT ON! its okay, i would have given random tips but i wasnt sure if there was something specific you were looking for!

my inspo largely comes from other media. tv shows, movies, edits, fucking character ai bots, other fics; literally anything that i enjoy i typically wind up using in my fics. its not for me personally but plenty of people get inspired by music! songs and music videos

other fics are excellent inspo bc u can see how readers respond to tropes that they've done. age gap, dilf, aus, and stuff like that. its also rlly great to see characterization. as long as you're not plagiarizing then emulating and learning from other writers who are doing the same thing you do or want to do is excellent. i love reading fics hehe

ik that sounds like super basic and boring but having a repertoire of existing tropes and stuff is super great!

as for word usage, it's all super subjective bc my tastes and stuff will not match up for everyone. but if u like how i write and want to emulate it then there are a few things i can say! i focus mostly on smut and dialogue.

first, it's important to have a good vocabulary. knowing synonyms to words you want to say is important. u don't want to have a paragraph that uses the same word over and over again, you want to break it up and make it mentally appealing to read. it won't be interesting to readers if you don't expand your vocab!

i am primarily a smut writer so that's where most of my focus is on intentional word usage. all my narration and plot is pretty basic i'd say. nothing incredibly special except for my dialogue which i put a lot of thought into.

i don't use metaphors that much. so, say, for smut u won't catch me using "globes" in reference to tits. i much prefer to just come out and say breasts, tits, chest.

i also don't use like Correct anatomy language. so i don't use penis, testicles, vagina or clitoris. i use.......porn language bc that's what im writing; cock, pussy, cunt, clit. just to keep it......erotic bc i personally (again, subjective) find correct anatomy language to be more off-putting than erotic.

smut is where it becomes difficult to use broad language. there's only so many words you can use for a dick. so don't be afraid to bust out some wattpad words u know? length, member, etc. ik they can sometimes be cringey and u don't like them but use them at the right time and using it sparingly and most ppl won't rlly notice. it breaks up reading the word cock and dick over and over and over again for 2k words.

for some examples,

for dicks u can use; dick, cock, member, shaft, length

for the puth u can do; pussy, cunt, folds, core, sex isn't bad

clit i use clit, bud, and nub mostly...but ppl use pearl or button, i don't but it doesn't bother me when i see it

i also don't use flowery language. i know in creative writing or whatever it's common to use poetic word usage but i find it to be more confusing than anything. i can't read rlly flowery fics bc the meaning of what im reading just genuinely gets lost. it's all lost on me. i'd say im a much more direct writer with my words and scenes? i utilize a fair bit of narration and exposition in my writing.

i find dialogue style to be quite important. if you read my stuff (like the fics, we dont look at my word vomit LMAOOO) you'll usually see i make the characters talk in specific ways.

simon cuts off his words "goin'" instead of "going", "somethin'" instead of "something", like that. i dont use a ton of language to depict his accent other than that, i leave the leg work mostly up to the readers bc they know what he sounds like. but some writers do like british slang, "wanker", "mate", "innit" LMAO i just don't and thats my choice. i choose to just cut his words off and call it a day. he has a more casual way of speaking in Taking What You Need as compared to konig in Experience.

konig, in Experience, has a specific way of talking as well that is opposite to simon. he doesn't use contractions. i did that intentionally bc i wanted him to have a more intimidating, professional, cold kind of way of talking. "do not do it" comes across different than "don't do it"!

i personally would say that a large part of my characterization comes across in dialogue and the style of dialogue i choose. i think that makes it more enjoyable for readers!

all in all, i basically just emulate what i personally like to see in writing. that's how i keep finding it enjoyable. i love giving fics for ppl to read but if i didn't write straight up what I wanted to see then the actual physical task of writing would be a lot worse.

idk how helpful this was since i basically just told u.....what i like to do LMAOOOO but i hope it gives u some kind of idea of what i focus on and how i get my writing to be the way it is?

EDIT: important that i also use inclusive language to the best of my abilities!

instead of saying like "your cheeks turned red" i use "you feel your cheeks heat up" or something along those lines since people with darker skin tones won't have their cheeks turn red when they blush!! but feeling your cheeks BURN is smthn we've all experienced.

i also try not to use any "running your hands through your hair" bc not everyone can do that! i can't even do that i have curly hair hehe. an alternative would be pushing a stray strand out of your face or tucking some behind your ear or something like that.

also, i don't mention nipple color or vagina color or anything !

Twilight worse sin is being boring

I remember back in the early 2000s when twilight was "The" book/movie franchise, it was quite like mint ice cream some love some hate and I was in the love side as I was still on k-12 when the movies where released, and surprisingly I was on a team Jacob school as I remember most of my class mates fighting for the unofficial and probably illegal sets of twilight cards they used to sell with his face on it.

As I grew older and more rebellious I started hating it because all the cool kids hated it

It's been a long time since I even thought about twilight the most I thought about it recently was that famous butterfly effect of 9/11 caused the end of Ellen DeGeneres career (of course I only knew that because it involved my chemical romance, and speaking of them the song vampire money is another twilight thing I had been thinking about)

Anyway I went to the library recently and realized that I never actually read the books to form my own opinion, so I did and my opinion is that

It's a boring book

Yeah it's also a objectively bad book, it's whiter than a kkk party and Edward is objectively a creep (he literally uses the "you are so mature for your age" line) the quilelute tribe doesn't have a big participation yet but even if I didn't knew how this would go I won't thought that they would have a good treatment

But all sins considered what surprised me is how utterly boring this book is

Maybe TikTok and fanfic burned my attention span maybe I am being judgemental but this book was a snooze

There are no stakes (pun intended)

Because Meyer's vampire's have to be objectively good angels (literally she calls Edward that in the end) it robs the story of the easiest and more attractive concept of vampire romance which is the erotic yet sinful concept of blood drinking

Edward keeps repeating over and over again how dangerous and tortured he is and yet he does nothing objectively evil(recognized by the text, again he is creepy)

To pair with Edward I'm evil but not really vibes we have bella who only reaction to anything is polite interest or overtly distaste, she is the live embodiment of IDGAF but not on a ironic way more on a disassociating way

Ad this combination creatures two annoying ass characters Edward makes a big deal of anything he does and bella just reacts with interest but not excitement

Also by the fifth or sixth time bella described Edward's beauty I was ready to throw this book at a wall, this is what you get when your characters have the depth of a tea spoon you have to hammer over and over again about their hotness so the reader won't think about how again he has nothing else going on .

We could've had a conflict about loving a creature who kills to live, but he doesn't kill he eats animals, or loving something so much older than the character, but bella is mature for her age, or is him doing all this to get a lunch but Edward refuses to even consider taking a sip

So we have pages and more pages of nothing and then some action right in the end but you have to go through the boring parts

It's a boring book

I'm not good at ratings but this book is a solid 3/5 for me good concept shitty execution go read any other vampire media at least there's horny blood drinking
