#and yes I am a snob and will not post on wattpad

[daistea]

I’m actually not used to writing short fics, I prefer long and drawn out slow burns (looks at my 300k genshin fic) so I have the deep urge to write that for Mithrun, but… I hesitate because it would be a reader insert, obv. I’d have to take away some of the insert/rp elements of the reader, and where would I even post that genre of fic?? Wattpad?????? Who do you think I am???????

Got any headcanons of Kagekao? 👀

Have a wonderful day!! <3

YES YES I DO JHSHSBRBRJH & YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY TOO /pos

Kagekao headcanons!

they use he/they pronouns and are very gay

he was honestly feral (but happy) as a child until the age of ten. it was a very shitty childhood after that where they’d have to steal & sleep in abandoned farm houses just to stay alive

he’s a little mean but they’re actually a really nice person once you get to know him!

their favourite wine is either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.

you know coffee snobs who judge people over how they like their coffee? low-key them but with wine.

he can be annoying or clingy sometimes but he just has a huge fear of abandonment and being alone. Their friends are like family to them, they love them with his whole heart

hand over the Liu and Kagekao headcanons rn ��

I AM HANDING THEM RN

Liu & Kagekao headcanons

tall, calm bf & short, hyper bf

liu has thousands (/hyp) of bite marks on his arm because kagekao’s main love language is biting

they constantly steal each other’s scarves

liu’s reaction to seeing kagekao without his mask for the first time was quite literally “🫢😯”

like 50% of kagekao’s clothes are actually clothes he’s stolen from liu

kagekao is very romantic when drunk. he’ll be 3 bottles in and will start telling liu how much he means to him and how much he loves him

almost constant pda

I LOVE THEM JEJEGHEBDNIDNDHRHRURHRH

Canon compliant Marauders era fic from the POV of Sirius Black. Yes, there will be Wolfstar but its a slowburn. Content warning for major character death (canon compliant after all!) mentions of sex, trauma/parental abuse.

What the *Edit* is the Problem

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m a fan fiction snob. I’m an avid reader and I want it all in a book, a great plot line, proper grammar, detailed descriptions of the prevalent settings and characters I feel connected with. It might sound like I’m asking for a lot, and trust me, I am! I want to be sucked into a story to the point my real-life problems fade to the background for a bit and I get to live the life of someone else. I want to see, hear, taste, smell and touch what they do, go where they go, feel what they feel. I need to get lost in the story.

Nothing messes up my reading flow like a mistake, and it’s not just word errors. Flip-flopping physical characteristics, contrasting setting descriptions and misplaced sentences, they are hard for me to move past and are guaranteed to make the next two to five sentences incomprehensible. I get it, we are Wattpad and/or Tumblr authors, we don’t have a ton of money to dish out for professional editing of our books, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive for perfection. Here are four easy steps to help edit your fanfic and avoid tripping up your readers groove.

1.       Character Profiles – Ever read a fic and three chapters in you are flipping back to the beginning of the book because you swear the writer changed a character’s eye or hair color? Annoying, isn’t it? Any reoccurring character should have a basic profile write up. Jot down in a notebook the physical features and basic history of the characters, this will act as a reference point and help lock the info in your head.

I choose to complete very detailed profiles on all my main characters and a slightly less thorough one for my supporting characters. It is hella time consuming but worth it, and here is an example why. In my first fanfic, the Only Exception, I had written that my MC’s parents never got married and then later in the book wrote they were. YIKES! I published the book with that doozy. Thankfully, a reader pointed it out to me, but I was totally embarrassed. The relationship between Autumn and her parents was pivotal to the plot and I’d botched it. Since then I have created Excel spread sheets with all the info I would need about my fictional beings. I solemnly swear, I am doing everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen again.

2.       Artificial Intelligence – Most apps focusing on writing like Wattpad and Tumbler will automatically underline misspelled words, but they are unable identify grammar errors. I am a huge fan of Microsoft Word, is my best friend when it comes to getting the thoughts in my head down on paper. It is not perfect, but it does catch a majority of my grammatical blunders and mistyped words. I also use the Find function in Word to identify any overused words like, that, just and very. I’d honestly, be lost without Word, but I don’t solely rely on it. I use it in conjunction with Wattpad, I write my chapters in Word and when I paste them into Wattpad I scroll through and see if that program finds any errors. I double up, doing whatever I can to avoid typing mistakes.

3.       Read Aloud – I know you might sound crazy reading your book to yourself out loud but you gotta let go and do it. When you read to yourself, you have a tendency to breeze through phasing which may sound ridiculous out loud. Trust me, I do it every damn week with this blog. I read it to myself over and over again, it seems perfect until the minute I read it to Tony. What I found to be a masterpiece when internally read, is a mess coming out of my mouth. If you want to know how your story is going to sound to your reader than read it aloud.

4.       Question It – The other day I was on a road trip with my niece and we were reading fanfictions which fell in the same genre as mine. Yep, I check out your fanfics and yes, I am comparing just like I do with a published author. It’s homework, my friends. Anyways, back to the story. So, this fic was riddled with contradictions. One minute, the MC was in a dark alley where she couldn't see anything, and the next Harry is down from her at the opening and she can make out the “sparkling green of his eyes”. What the hell? Was it pitch-black or was it dimly lit, it can’t be both at the same time. The character was going to quietly sneak away from her pursuer and then she decided to run with no explanation as to the change of heart. This book was giving me whiplash from all its indecisiveness. Pick a direction and roll with, don’t make the character everything all at once.

Rule of thumb, if you have to reread your sentence or paragraph because you are confused about what you were trying to convey, re-write it. Don’t try to reason it, because your reader sure isn’t. A shitty phrase will remain a shitty phrase.  

But C, I don’t have time to do all of that, I just want to post my story and jump to the next chapter. I’ll fix it later.

Have at it, who am I to tell you how to post your work? Perhaps your mistakes will be outshined by your intriguing storytelling and readers like me are a rarity. Maybe most people just want to read a cluster of words with no rhyme or reason, or maybe they are not looking for something which transports them from their real-life. Maybe you like writing but you don’t have a goal to make a profession out of it. Maybe you should buckle down and not procrastinate when it comes to editing your work before you share it with the world. Just some thoughts.

Let me finish by telling you what is going to happen if you choose not to edit before you post. You are going to put up a half-assed story and the reader is going to see that. They are not going to feel drawn back to your book for the next update because the last one was a mess. Ultimately, your number of readers will never increase, and without readers you will lose your motivation to write and your story will go unfinished. Don’t set your book up to fail by being lazy and putting off this crucial process. To create an amazing story, you have to perfect it, and to do that you must edit.

WORKING OUT! – ZenxMC

Soooo yeah I have this draft at wattpad (well I have a LOT of drafts, around 8 stories I think? Hehehe) that I'm really hesitant to post because really, I'm not that good with words lol plus English is my second language so I kinda suck at it. Why is it so hard to turn those ideas into words uuuuuugh. But still I love writing and I wanna share it, even if it's crappy lol This story is a MysMe one shot for Zen mwehehehe __________________ "Babe, are you sure you want to do this?" Zen raised a brow at your direction as you stretch. "Of course I am!" You said, smiling. "Besides, I want to get rid of these baby fats, you know..." You muttered and pinched your stomach underneath the sweatshirt you're wearing. You asked Zen if you can go with him and workout. He was a bit hesitant at first, but with your persuasion, he gave in. You heard Zen chuckled and felt arms wrap around your waist from behind. "Even if you have those baby fats as you call it, I'll still love you, (Y/N)." Your face heat up in an instant and giggled. "Zen, didn't you said that you want us to be healthy together? I just..." You paused and played with a fringe of your hair. "I just want to live healthy with you... Like what you said..." You didn't see it, but Zen totally looked taken aback by your words. He smiled and hugged you tighter, pulling you close to him. "If that's what my princess wants, so be it." The first thing you did was to walk at the nearby park and leave your belongings in a guard house. You thought it's going to make the guard mad, but he just smiled and told Zen good luck. Zen smiled at you over his shoulder, his hand wrapped around yours as he guide you around. Even if it's too early, there are already a number of people jogging at the park. Some were waving at Zen and he just waves back. You stared at him as he greeted an old couple taking a walk around the park. It made you smile. "Babe, are you okay?" Zen asked, worry in his face, when he saw you staring. "Y-Yes! I'm fine. So, where do we start?" "I usually do 10 laps around this park for warm up. But you're with me, so if you think you can't carry on, just tell me, okay? I'll slow things down." You internally sweatdropped. '10 laps? Warm up?! God, he is a beast...' "Hmm. Okay, that's fine with me." You're fine with jogging around, since back at the apartment, there was a treadmill there that you often use, so it'll be a piece of cake for you. You're already at your third lap when Zen called your name. "Uhm, babe? Aren't you tired yet?" "Hmm, only a little. But I'm fine." "I'm just worried that you're forcing yourself because of me. Please do tell me if you want to stop, okay?" Your heart soared at his concern and smiled sweetly, reassuring him that you're fine, but Zen decided to stop at your fifth lap, saying that it's just for your warm up and you don't need to push yourself. Your next stop is at the gym. Your jaw slackened at all the equipments around and the people that's working out. Most of them are men, their bodies buff and ripped, while some girls are using only the treadmill, bike or a 5-10 pound dumbbell. Zen wrapped his hand on yours and led you as he walk towards a buff guy, who you assumed runs the gym. "Hey Chul!" The man turned and greeted him. "Yo, Zen!" They fistbumped and Chul's eyes landed on you. "Ohoho, I see you have company. Who's that pretty lady, eh?" "Oh, well," Zen draped his arms over your shoulders and pulled you beside him. "This is (Y/N), my girlfriend. Babe, this is Chul. He runs this gym and he's my bud." You bowed your head and smiled "Pleasure to meet you, Chul." "The feeling is mutual, little gal." He bowed his head back and turned to Zen. "So, are you going to do your usual set with her?" Zen laughed and shook his head. "Not on my life! I'm gonna go soft today. I don't want to push her too hard." Chul then said goodbye and tended to other customers. Zen turned to you and smiled. "So, how would you like to start?" "E-Ehh!?" You pouted. "Why are you asking me? It's my first time in a gym. I don't really know how  everything works here!" He laughed at your outburst and pinched your cheeks. "Ahhh~ why are you so adorable? You look so cute when you're flustered." He chuckled and grabbed your hands. "Okay, so first we'll go with stretching, then the set itself, okay?" You just agreed with him, since you really have no idea what he was saying except for stretching. You did everything he told you and taught you how to properly stretch and that you should never forget to do it to avoid injuries. He was being so gentle with you and if you're doing something wrong, he'll go behind you and position you body. You could feel his warmth at your back and his steeled body pressed against yours. You took a deep breath to calm your heart and focus on what you're doing. "Now, let's focus on your core. We'll do sit-ups. I'm sure you're familiar with that?" You nodded and he smiled. "Then, let's start!" He led you to where the mattresses are laid and asked you to sit. He positioned himself in front of you and held your legs and feet firmly so it won't budge. Zen told you to stop if you can't go on. Then you started. Zen was watching you intently without you noticing, as you were busy on doing sit-ups and controlling your breathing. He bit his lip as he watched you go up and down. He closed his eyes silently took a deep breath to calm the beast inside of him. When he opened them, however, you were upright and he accidentally took a peek of your cleavage from behind your sweat shirt. He stopped himself from screaming but still, you heard a slight squeak coming from him that made you stop. "Zen, are you okay--? Wait, your face is red..." You asked in concern. He opened his mouth and tried to get out some words, but he just end up stuttering and closed his mouth. He cleared his throat, not looking your way. "U-Uhm, babe, is it okay for you to continue your set? I have to do some workout too..." He muttured under his breath. "O-Okay... Are you sure you're fine?" You asked and touched his shoulder, causing his body to tense. "Y-Yeah! Don't worry about me. Just do your set 5 times and if you're done, look for me. And don't talk to strangers! You know they bite." You giggled. "Okay, okay. Go and workout. I'll be fine here." He smiled and pat your head. He was soon out of your sight and you redo the set he gave you using the equipments. You were on your fourth set doing that squat and jump thing Zen taught you, when a guy stopped in front of you. "Hey there! Are you new here?" He greeted with a smile. You stopped for a second to look at him before continuing with your exercise. "Yeah." Was all you said. You don't want to start a conversation with him since Zen specifically told you not to talk to strangers because they may bite you. "Ohhh~ I see you're kind of a snob, eh? What's your name?" At that moment, you were done with the squats, so you stood up and moved to the bench thing that Zen told you you can use to do sit ups by yourself. The man tailed you, repeating his question. "None of your business." You said, curtly, wanting him to stay away. "Nice you meet you then, none-of-your-business. My name is Hae In." You rolled your eyes at his response. 'Typical technique of flirts: consider what your target first said as his or her name after you asked them. Tss.' You positioned yourself on the bench and started doing sit ups, ignoring that 'Hae-In' guy. "Well, I see you're the quiet type. I like that." He said and grinned. You admit that he's good-looking and if you're an ordinary girl, you'll swoon at his smile. But you're not just some girl. You're Zen's girl. You stopped and sighed, before turning to him and tell him to back off but a hand landed on your shoulder. You looked up and saw Zen, glaring at the guy. "Zen!" You exclaimed cheerfully and stood up, linking your arms with his, ignoring the guy. He smiled down on you. "Hey babe. Did you finished your set?" "Uhm... I was just finishing my fourth set, so..." "Is that so?" He muttered and looked back at the guy that's been tailing you earlier. "And who's this?" He stood up and approached Zen with a smile before offering his hand. "My name's Hae-In. Is she your girlfriend?" "Yes, she is." He said with a dark look, emphasizing the word 'yes'. "Woah, woah. Sorry dude. Didn't mean to offend you." He turned to leave but looked over his shoulder to wink at you. "Then, I'll see you around, none-of-your-business." You felt Zen's muscles went taut and he took a step towards the guy, whose back was now facing you. You took a sharp breath and tighten your hold on him knowing what might happen next. He instantly look down on you and you looked back with pleading eyes and shook your head. "Zen..." You called, trying to calm him down. He took a deep breath and relaxed, before turning to you and hugged you tight. "I'm sorry (Y/N), for you to see that..." He trailed off and tighten his hug. You chuckled and patted his back. "That's all right, Zen." He pulled away and you saw him pouting, brows furrowed as he stared at you. "Didn't tell you not to talk to strangers? Look, you were nearly bitten!" "Sorry... I was actually going to tell him to back off, but you appeared..." He hummed in response before pulling you to a random direction. "E-Eh? Where are we going Zen?" "Home." "B-But... Isn't the exit the other way?" "Let's shower first and change." Your eyes widened and pulled your hand, causing him to stop. "W-Wait... Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?" Zen looked at you innocently, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Hmm~? What do you think I was thinking, babe~?" You felt your face heat up. "I-It's nothing!" You stuttered and avoided his gaze. Zen chuckled and pulled you towards the shower rooms. "Don't worry. There are separate shower rooms for male and female." He stifled a laugh and glanced at you. "I wouldn't dare do it here." You mentally sighed in relief, even if you felt slightly pained by his last remark. Suddenly, Zen leaned towards you, his lips inches from your ear. "I prefer doing it somewhere private. Where I can only see and hear you. Like... back in the house. There, no one will interrupt us... unlike in the showers." His voice was low and husky that actually made a chill run down your spine. Your heart starts beating fast and you're pretty sure your face is beet red at the moment. "Z-Zen!" You chided at him, looking at him with a glare and pout. He started laughing again and pinched your cheeks. "But I'm serious about doing it in our private place, (Y/N). You better get yourself ready, we won't be going out 'til later~"
