If it's not too much work, could you share what your outlining process is like? I always feel a little lost when I try outlining my fics and I know the process is different for everyone but I feel like it would help to know what others do. Every time I try to google help I get processes for original novel writing, and it doesn't feel as applicable to writing a short fanfic.
I would love to :3
There are actually a few different ways I outline, and sometimes it depends on the length of the fic and how complex the plot is.
I'll use one of my saved radiostatic prompts as an example (it also gives me an excuse to sit down and actually outline it hehe)
So, sometimes just the prompt itself is a good enough outline for me (this is dependent on how long I think the fic is going to be. If it's short, sometimes the prompt itself works and I don't need to go in-depth. I say "prompt" but that also can mean a specific scene in your head that you want to write, or a concept, or even a piece of fan-art that inspired you).
Here's the paragraph prompt I wrote for this radiostatic one-shot/short fic (spoilers, I guess):
Tumblr media
So sometimes, just this is enough for me to start writing the fic (my prompts do tend to get a little big because I like to add a lot of detail - about the scene or concept that grabbed my attention - so that I capture all the vibes and emotions that I want to incorporate.
But sometimes, it helps to go more in-depth so I'm not overwhelmed trying to get to the part of the fic that I want to write (NOTE: It is totally fine if you write out the scene/parts that you want to write the most, even if it's in the middle or the end. You can always fill in the blanks after. Or you can just post the scene you wanted to write without adding more. It's up to you).
I like to figure out what scenes happen that lead up to the parts I want to write, so sometimes, I'll make a bullet-point list of chronological scenes, plot-points, and details. For example:
Tumblr media
And etc... you continue on until you've hashed out the sequence of events that take place in the story. This doesn't have to be super detailed (it can be really brief and to the point) and doesn't it have to be super clinical either. Just have fun and write down whatever silly thoughts you have in your head.
You bullet-point list can be as simple as:
Alastor goes downstairs to do exercise.
Vox shows up to do the exercise as well (invited by Charlie)
They get into an argument about modern technology.
Vox leaves.
It's really just about putting down the sequence of events starting from the very beginning to the very end. You can keep it simple like the above example
OR
You can make it even more detailed by doing an in-depth summary of the fic, scene by scene, plot point by plot point, until you get to the end (this is what I usually do because it gets everything planned out and on the page, down to the smallest details). For example:
Tumblr media
And then it goes on like this until I've outlined the entire fic. You can be silly with this. Just have fun. Let yourself ramble and get all you're ideas out. Don't try to stick to a rigid plan, let the story flow naturally.
Then, once I've finished my outline, I use it as a guide as I write the rough draft. The thing about outlines is that you don't have to follow exactly what you planned. It's okay to diverge or adds things or cut things out. It really is just a loose guide to help you through the events of the story and get your thoughts on paper.
Additionally: You don't even have to fully finish the outline if you don't want to. Sometimes you get half of it done before you want to start writing, and that's fine. The rest of the story will reveal itself as you go.
If I'm doing a multi-chaptered fic, sometimes I'll break the overall idea of the story into pre-determined chapters and summarize it section by section. Or, I'll just be a maniac and summarize the entire fic in one big, super long, super detailed block of text. Another staticradio fic I'm currently outlining is 16,152 words long and I'm not even close to being done. I expected this fic to get super long and complex, so writing it out in a very chronological and detailed manner helps it feel less daunting. AND now I have every plot point, twist, emotional scene, and bit foreshadowing planned out and already placed where I want it to show up in the fic. It's great. It makes me life easier when I actually buckle down and write the rough draft.
Just as a final note, I want to say that everyone's process is different. This is how I outline, but I know it won't work for everyone. It's all about finding what method works for you.
I'll say that one of the most important to do while outlining is simply having fun with it. Make it your hype list. Make every scene you jot down a scene you're excited to write. Make yourself want to write it so it doesn't feel like a chore to slog through.
Best advice I've ever recieved: If you're bored writing a scene, the audience will be bored reading it.
Have fun and write the story you wanna write 👉👉
Hope this helped!

As a certified Alberich and Sieghardt simp They can do NO wrong i need to know what would their kinks would be... for science you know. Very importsnt stuff. With... beakers and clipboards and strange bubbling liquids that glow... Not at all for fan art/fic ideas Oh and their favorite foods?
Maybe their love language too if thats ok
If this makes you uncomfortable i understand 🤣 feel free to ignore.
I will never ever say no to Alberich and Sieg appreciation!!
I'm expecting payment for this!!
(Slight NSFW)
Alberich:
Kinks: Edging. Impact play. Foreplay. Wax play. Whipping. He's down for anything fun and is really experimental. He'll go as far as his partners are comfortable with.
Love Language: Words of Affirmation and Physical Tough. As a lover, Alberich will constantly assures his affections are for them and them alone. That being said, he's usually busy so it's hard for him to spend quality time with his lover and may not be able to everything he promised, but he always makes the effort. .
Favourite Foods: Gratin and Red Wine. He loves nibbling on cubes of cheeses with crackers.
Sieghardt:
Kinks: He's a virgin. But he'd like playing with his lover's hair and hands. He's very gentle and attentive so he'd probably never do anything too extreme. Likes servicing and praises. Cock Warming.
Love Language: Act of Service & Gift Giving. Sieg would be a selfless lover that will dutifully attend to the object of his affections. He really sucks in the words of affirmation and physical touch department tho.
Favourite Food: Hearty Meat Stews with seasonal ingredients & various styles of Bread Pudding. He really really likes sweets.

Im a garte fan btw. If you claim to like pathetic men but dont lile garte dni (<-joke) hes like. Okay if harry is a fucked up mess. A pathetic mountain lion. Thats harry, yeah? Garte is like. A cat. In the pathetic scale. He sucks. His name is lawrence garte. Like what do you want from me he sucks hes objectively hilarious. I wish you could force him to accompany you in the place of cuno or kim at the end. This makes the game harder. You cant run or garte will leave or he just disables the option. He does not help you any he makes people lile you less. He tries to sound like a badass he fails. Your beautiful impactful boatride is punctuated by him throwing up over the side of the boat (its the gross sound that harry makes when trying to look st the body that same sound) and then he throws a rock at the phasmid.

Notes written when I was going insane 3
Im not happy about the oresent
Im happy about the future
And thats more importsnt
I can copy what I see
And that lets me draw very well
But when I drew what I really felt
It was messy
And nobody cared
My ability to draw was useless to me
But with this
A musical instrument
Though I cannot copy as well as I could with drawing by sight
People will understand how I feel, when I play music
My ability to draw was worthless
Color the world is to color the soul
No
I shall forgo coloring the world
I shall directly color the soul
By transporting them to a new world
By the means of musical sounds
I believe in my ability
And I believe in this instrument
I just wanted to share smiles with others
But nobody wants to be happy
And nobody understands
My ability to draw is useless to me
What good is it
So is my ability to do hyper advanced math and create accurate and logical complex models, all in my head
What good is it
Nobody cares
I can walk with these
But I cannot ever fly with them
Who wants to stay grounded upon hell
Instead of taking flight to the heavens
I dont care if I suck at it
With this ability
I will he able to do what I wanted to do from the very start
I dont know what exactly that is
But it isnt math and logical models or drawing by sight
Its proving to myself
I am not crazy
I am here
I am me
And this is me
This music
Yes
A sonnet, a dirge
An elegy and a eulogy
A song
A divine power, to sculpt away the very onion of the mind, of its layers
Yes
With the power of song
I can finally harness love
I dont care for [redacted]
Or machines
Or books and [redacted] and plants
All I want is love
More and more and more and more
I just wanted to hear someone say
Yes
I understand you
IS THAT ALL
IS THAT ALL
I JUST WANTED TO HERE SOMEONE SAY
YES
I UNDERSTAND YOU
I UNDERSTAND YOU
I UNDERSTAND YOU
Never once in my entire life has ever anybody understood me
But although their eyes can be swayed
Not so their ears
Upon hearing the sonnet’s melody
They will be in my grasp
And I shall force upon them
Understanding
And then I can finally be at peace
Knowing I really mattered, and was really here
I wasnt just sticking along for a ride, backseating
I just wanted someone to understand me
So that we can share our love with one another
Yes
To love
To love
Please

still fucking upset (dare i say Triggered) at this conversation i had yesterday when i was talking about how my friend moved away from "this hellhole" (florida) and this woman (mom's friend/friend's mom) is like "no ive lived in (the state my friend moved to) and its worse than florida" then i say "the governor wants me dead" (thinking as a trans person but ALSO as a mentally ill and ND person) and shes like "thats an exaggeration dont be dramatic this isnt as bad as when stonewall happened" YET
like no offense but how the fuck else am i supposed to interpret politicians saying we need to ERADICATE transgenderism and taking away healthcare for trans ppl and signing a bunch of legislation criminalizing trans ppl but of course the ONE thing that came to my mind in that conversation was how everyone wants to call us groomers and thats what the conversation became about and where the distraction idea came in but like.
is my livelihood and healthcare and human rights a "distraction" from "real politics??" when you can apply the UN definition of genocide to how politicians are targeting trans and queer people? what "real politics" is my life a distraction from?? WHY do trans people in the US have to be relegated as a "distraction" for "more importsnt issues" like i get other things are important but this is important too!!!!!!!
are trans lives a "distraction" when queer people are advised not to even TRAVEL to florida because of how much we're criminalized and demonized here? how much worse does it have to get for us before our issues get taken seriously!!!!!!!

Snotlout has the most development throughout all the franchise and im so so so grateful. Dreamworks gave us this little prick of a kid and said "actuallywe are going to make him so likeable". Httyd has always been on some kevel about defying expectation and exploration and Thawfest (although apparently people dont like it) is sooo interesting to me. I rant abt it so much literally they DID that. Snotlout could so easily have been the annoying, sarcy comedic relief but hes NOT!!! Thawfest comes around and you realise, this kids not even insecure, hes just scared. Hes scared of the dad who he clearly admires so much. and thats so interesting?????? And they reiderate time and time again that Spitelout is not going to get better. Everytime we see him its a back and forth, maybe this time we'll see him redeemed! it is a kids franchise, after all! and Although apparently in the end it isnt handled very well, for the most part, he doesnt get better. Snotlout learns the lesson that he can be whatever HE wants to be, and NOT what his dad wants him to be - and he forgets it. and thats so important to me. Its not cut and dry. its NEVER been cut and dry. Yes spitelout's a bad person, but Snotlout still loves him, he still admires him, he still pines for his attention. Theres never ONE moment where he cuts him off (although I would of liked to see a final moment where he does), its constant. Stoick apologised to Hiccup, they made ammends. But Spitelout is not Stoick, and they do not have to make up. Its so importsnt to me that httyd (for the most part) never made a statement that forgiveness is neccessary because theyre family. You can tell Snotlout does not like his dads company, but wants it when he doesnt have it. Hes a character that has so much more depth than you would expect for a dreamworks kids show and it all links back together. Hes a cocky bastard -> because his dad doesnt let him show weakness. He is neglective to hookfang -> because thats all he knows. He prioritises masculinity over health and safety -> because his dad says he has to. And he never fully grows out of it, either. He still glances to see if anyone catches him crying when hes 20. He still has a big mouth and flirts with anything that moves and freezes up when they flirt back. He still pines for the approval of people he considers to be above him, but he continues to be everything that his dad isnt.
And we're given this, a treat, by the people up at dreamworks. People who clearly care about the character they are presenting here. People that werent even necessarily at the time getting positive feedback from this character. And they said, "Now that hes likeable, lets make him relateable." And they gave us the Thor Bonecrusher episode. I will never get over mlm Snotlout Jorgenson. I have to take a step back and look at these characters Ive known for all my life to the point they feel as tangible as I am myself, and I get to say, "Hes just like me." Hes queer and its wonderful. like thats canon. And theres never a MOMENT where he gets made fun of for it in universe. they make fun of him for being a simp, sure, but never for liking men? It has its flaws of course, but I can never NOT gush about how lovely httyd is. they put so much care into all of their characters (except heather 420 blaze it no one cares anyway). Idk i just. they really did everything with Snotlout huh. <3
(TLDR its 1am and I watched Not Lout yesterday)
YESSSSS YOU SAID IT EXACTLY
He has such significant character development across so much time, like he starts out as this very insecure, cocky bully, and we get to see him change into a mature, caring leader and a good friend and it’s????? Totally believable?? We watch him go on this incredible journey and grow up so much. Even the episodes he doesn’t change in (like big man on berk) expand on the different sides of his character that we don’t always get to see. They have so much time to expand on him and let him grow and they do and I literally love him so much, he was handled so well in the shows.
(noooo bc I feel that)

Ok so so so HAOSKSKW
Tldr of the overarching plot is two scientists, Dr Light and Dr Wily, have mastered creating robots. However Dr Light doesn't want to use any of their creations for violence, as he's given them sentience and all. Wily does, they get in a fight, and Wily leaves and starts making his own robots. Not really actually, because turns out he's not good at it so at first he just reprograms lights robots (I will come back to this smirks).
Wily starts wrecking havoc on the world and so lights son, a robot he created named Rock, steps up and asks light to upgrade him to fight. He does and that's how MegaMan comes to be !!!! He steps in when Wily tries to take over the world basically. (There is the over arching plot over the later games of the fear over Rock becoming too free willed.. as he tried to actually kill wily once which he shouldn't be able to do BUT THATS not the talking point rn.)
Now on the topic of my fav guys, aka the MM2 robot masters they're.. special. I saw u mention you've seen some of the comics so you may know some of this but they're the only robots Wily built himself. They're all made with the sole purpose to kill, unlike all the other robots in the series who were made with the purpose to help society in some way. In the comics they touch on how this effects them, as well as the one comic where the eight of them decide to be shut down because they know they're deadly and dangerous and can't help society. Being shut down is basically being killed btw its so ARGHHH WAILS GOD FUCK PUNCHES A WALL
Ok uhm that's kinda all over the place but basics I can answer any questions HAKODDKKWWK
YEHAHWYAHAHSAKFHSKHFSK OH I DID NOT KNOWE. ABOUT THE BEING SHUT DOWN THING I RHAHEAJJEJAJFKDKFJ I GO CRAZY
i'm tryna like. think about what i already know about the series erm. OH ik rock has a sister and her name is roll because get it. rock and roll. like the genre. like the music genre. holy shit. and they have an older brother named proto man aka blues because ROCK AND ROLL CAME FROM BLUES DO YOU GET IT. uhhhhhhh blues is so fucking silly he's a personal fav i think. idk the dynamic between him and rock makes me a little goofy. ik in the later geames there like. at least one (1) fem robot master named plant woman or smth like that and i also love her because i love plants and i love women so. L
OH ALSO rock has. a doggo. named rush :) i lov doggo he's a good boy
uh i'm guessing quickman is your favorite of the mm2 masters but do you have a second favorite? personally i also really like quickman but i'm also partial to metal man. everyone's favorite dentist <3 also i think all of them have at least little nonbinary swag (which. ik none of them have actual genders but still) which doesn't have to do with anything but i think it's very important to mention
idk i know a bunch of misc things about the series afyer just. passively picking them up but idk what's importsnt and what isn't <///3 i'm tired too that doesn't hlep
