Heyo~ I just wanted to say that your fanfics have inspired me to write my owns, they're so good!!

But my writing isn't nearly as good, do you have any advices for this starting writer? <3

oh my gosh anon !!!!!! im ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ !! im so glad they inspire you, and I wish you all the best on your writing!!! you got this, and please link them if/when you post!!!! 👀👀👀

as for advice - i got a few things!

first off, your writing is yours, and - especially in fic - there isn't necessarily a type of 'good' writing, just different skill sets! for instance, i find that my weak point is dialogue, while im great at worldbuilding + emotions. another writer might be the opposite, but it doesn't mean my writing is 'bad' and theirs is 'good' or the reverse, simply that we have different strengths! as you grow as a writer, you will find your strengths and learn to grow them, and your weak points! there is truly no standard, so don't put yourself down!!

moving on to more advice however - (EDIT: theres a tldr at the bottom because sorry, i rambled a bit!!)

1. write. it doesn't matter where, it doesn't matter when, it doesn't matter how! I have written fics on sticky notes in the middle of class (whiskey peak chapter of esom) on discord in the span of a few hours (make a choice (turncoat hero)) and in my notes apps (the ace/yamato fic i posted)!! if you learn to write anywhere you please, this will keep ideas from leaving your mind, and allow you to get into the zone that there doesn't have to be a set time to write!

2. length never matters for a fic. If 100 words is all it takes to write what you want to write, then 100 words is all it takes! don't let the general adoration for long fics to scare you off from writing, and write what you're comfortable with. I know writers who only write chapter fics, and writers who will only write one shots (then there's me, who tries to do both at once lol.)

3. when i am lost with the plot of a fic, the first thing i do is draft an outline of what i want to happen next. this is just a simple bullet point outline, in the general fashion of, say

- luffy gets a different hat post pirate king

- monkey steals hat

- luffy calls for zoro

- zoro sleeping?? sanji kicks him then fight

- the monkey is revealed as the red haired pirates monkey

- shanks shows up "miss me anchor?" party time

brief, follows a simple set of actions, perhaps one or two lines that i thought of while writing, and gives me a skeleton to follow so that when i lose myself in a fic i know where i can go next. Some people find it useful to do this at the beginning with a super detailed plot, and others never write a outline at all! it depends again on how you grow as a writer, so don't be afraid to try different things out when you approach a fic

4. stuck on a part? writer block? can't focus? get up drink a glass of water, and get back to writing! i find this helps me get refocused on writing when i am stuck, a little body 'wake up' as you will.

5. never EVER delete a scene from a fic. never. NEVER. move that scene to another doc, put it in a 'scrapped writing' folder, idc, but never delete it entirely. it helps you grow as a writer, and you can always put the scene back/reword it, etc. i cannot count on my hands how many times i have reworked a previously scrapped portion of a fic and came out the better for it!

6. having multiple wips is okay!! celebrate it even!! i always have at least five docs for five separate fics up on my computer at all times so i can shuffle between them when writing and write what im inspire for in that moment. its okay if you never make headway on one of them, as long as the ideas keep flowing

7. want to get something out quick? word wars are your friend - set a timer for 15 minutes, and write as many words as you can. this is especially fun if you have someone doing it with you, so you can compare counts at the end and share your story!!

8. writing, like all art, takes time. and, generally, there is a chance you will write faster when you first set out to write then you will later, because later, you will be more conscious of your word choices and be more deliberate and careful in your plot, rather than just churning out works. It's okay if you don't churn out 5k a day - writing is not an obligation!

9. have. fun. im serious! write what you want to write, even if it seems no one will love it or like it or want to read it - write what brings you joy, what makes you smile, even if it's something that's been done a thousand times before!! this is what fic is, for your own personal enjoyment. Additionally, do not be discouraged if there's a low amount of reviews for something you put your heart and soul. it sucks ass, yes, (i have a couple fics i love which have only gotten like, a quarter of attention of some of my other fics) but ultimately, the idea you wrote down is one you want to see in the world!! it doesn't quite matter what anyone else likes.

10. grammarly, word counter, word, etc - anything with a spellcheck is your best friend, and will generally catch things you miss if you cant find someone to proofread for you. additionally, if you want to be more critical of your fic, look for friends tto give constructive critcism, but know that you absolutely do not have to accept it from any stranger online unless you asked specifically for it.

11. fanon is fanon and popular headcanons are popular headcanons and both are absolutely not canon. you do NOT have to follow it if you do not want to.

12. read!!! i read a lot of fic, a lot of published books, and each has something i really enjoy and apply to my own fics.

13. to reiterate again just... write. write and write and write. i have over 300k posted to ao3 rn, and more in my docs. you will not improve your writing to any standard that you set for yourself unless you write!! always practice!! learn from your mistakes!! grow!!! you will improve with time, i promise, just go out and write what makes you happy anon!!

tl;dr have fun, write a lot wherever and whenever, and write for yourself before anyone else. you will improve with time as a writer the more you practice, and it doesn't ever matter how long your work is.

if you want more specific advice on formatting fic/general rules/ your first time posting, feel free to send another ask!! but for now, i wish you the best of luck anon and a very 👀👀👀👀 at your future fics!!!

Okay although me and Joey have been going thru a rough time rn (lol I’m just like a tiny bit not as in love) can I get a scr with him and the art nouveau deck pretty please 💖💖

ksdhkjsfks he just needs to post his face a lil more and hook you back in lmao

Tarot Cards: The Tower, The Moon (reversed), 8 of swords (reversed), Judgement/The Hermit, Queen of Swords

i’m sorry i have to be the one to tell you this but these aren’t great cards lmao

Right off the bat, without looking at specifics, all of these cards are major arcana or in the swords suit and that’s not what you want to see in any sort of love/sex/partnership readings. Swords represent the mind, intellect and clarity. They are cards of few emotions or distractions, it’s all very linked to internal thought. What we would have liked to see was more wands cards or even pentacles and cups. 

So is there chemistry? Not really. I don’t always read reversals but I tend to make exceptions in spreads like this where each card answers a specific yes/no question. Because The Moon is generally a ‘no’ card but when a no card comes up reversed it can mean no but...here’s why/how to turn it around. 

So The Moon when it’s upright represents secrets, uncertainty and deception. When it’s reversed though it’s still negative but it’s closer to misunderstandings than flat out lies and generally has to do with letting fear get the best of you. In this case it could mean that there wouldn’t be chemistry between you because some sort of fear or miscommunication is blocking you. 

If you were to end up having sex despite that it probably wouldn’t be super enjoyable for either of you. Your reaction comes up as The Tower which is...not great. It relates to sudden upheavals which aren’t necessarily bad, like a sudden change can be good even if it’s stressful or chaotic. But it’s not the card you want to see when talking about sex. A few of the words associated with it include misery, distress, deception, disaster. Definitely not the energy you want when you’re sleeping with someone.

Now, Joe as 8 of swords reversed is interesting. 8 of swords is another ‘no’ card (like most of the swords suit) and similarly to The Moon reversed, ties into fears or that energy of trapping yourself and holding yourself back. But it’s reversed meanings are closer to release and setting yourself free. So I think this means that for Joe, it wouldn’t be good unless he let go of something. There is some sort of difficulty or fear of criticism/scandal that would stop anything from happening. 

The next question is “what would the sex be like” and I actually got two cards for this, Judgement and The Hermit. Both are quite positive cards, though neither are what i’d call good omens for relationships. obviously The Hermit has connotations about withdrawing into ones self, being alone (though not necessarily lonely). But he’s also representative of vigilance and discretion. And Judgement is a sign that something isn’t working. Change is necessary to find rejuvenation and renewal. SO, while the sex may not be completely terrible, someone or both of you are much more wrapped up in the ‘what ifs’ and your own thoughts then being present in the moment with the other person. 

Finally, The Queen of Swords. More of a ‘maybe’ than a flat out no. There is the potential for something to happen between you but I wouldn’t call it likely. Again, it’s that pesky swords energy. 

I did still draw the 3 between the sheets oracle cards and you got Imprint, Bite Marks, Magical Orgasm. It’s worth noting that this deck doesn’t have too many negative cards in it but from what you got i’d say it would be memorable and leave an impression though with the way the tarot came out, possibly not for the right reasons. 

Your love oracle is George Clooney and he says: If you commit the perfect heist, make sure you don’t brag about it / Intelligence is the sexiest attribute / Once you share your personal life, it’s not personal. 

Very interesting. The fact that intelligence was mentioned as being particularly sexy jumped out at me. Intelligence is sexy but overthinking things isn’t and that’s what the tarot cards were indicating. 

I think it’s also very interesting that the other two pieces of advice mr clooney has to offer relate to keeping secrets. don’t brag about it/once you share - perhaps the issue that would block anything from happening is related to keeping the connection secret.
