Ideal ship dynamic

[honeyglazedcalamari]

Thank you for the Kaufax food, my good sir.

no problemo team skeleton person!!!!!! heres an idea i came up with while ghost-ing and losing

ok so the reason jax’s bowlin ball was in kaufmos kaufmos room was becayse jax eelized how stressef kaufmo was gettin and invited him to hang out and they went bowling together anf jax was using a bowling ball he really cared about because it made him eel safe (he remembers it from human life) and when they were leaving he noticed kaufmo was still stressed so je gave him the bowling ball and kaufmo tried to refuse it since it meant alot to jax but jax made him have it anyways as a gift because he cares more about kaufmos wellbeing then his own and ghen they hug or somefin and and then they go to their individual rooms but then l8r that day the pilot happens and the yaoi is doomed as the kids say

MEMEKRKENEBWN MEANJOKES PROPAGANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terms and Conditions Apply:

Aliens have found a way to legally and consensually abduct humans for scientific study- they developed an App and spelled out their intentions in the T&Cs. The protagonist is thrilled. Most of the other humans on the ship are not.

Elf Casting:

Your typical isekai protagonist finds himself and his experiences being used as entertainment by two elf lads and their older brother who are wandering around farming content. Turns out, medieval fantasy elves have their own version of YouTube. Who knew? Certainly not (name to be determined).

Time Sensitive

What would *really* happen if a 19th century English Lord stumbled through a time rift carelessly left open by a time-travelling historian?

Dirty Rotten Futures

In the future, people have to carefully manage their filthiness in order to keep the nanobots programmed for cleaning from inadvertently killing them all off.

The worst thing about having original characters is that all the material is up to you and you alone

Child: (complaining) "Why do I have to write a report? How will this help me in real life? I'll never have to do this outside of school."

Me and his teacher: (making agonised eye contact over the table)

I am going to write

I really was thinking of give up of writing but my mind just said

" Nah bro "

Now i am going to TRY to write something

[ragnar0c]

I write nexus bits for fun. I realize I usually go to write in El's perspective. Hana is a main character, and I have stuff written in her pov. But thinking about rewriting them in El's to get a feel for her voice. Hana from an outside view. Esp without her premonitions. After OoS.

El's pov tends to be in first person? Idk seems her. So I feel like when I write El I really have to get in character.

But then again El from Hana's pov would be equally interesting. She believes El is like her and over reliant on her powers to learn about people. Maybe she is. But in the end, El becomes close to the guild and can encourage Hana to do the same.

Im speechless

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.
