#it's like 23k

What dirty thing were you writing 👀

👀

[aphel1on]

nothinggg better than torturing an emotionally repressed character until every single trauma they've ever refused to process starts spilling uncontrollably out of the cracks. like a matryoshka doll situation of repressed trauma and baby you better believe i'm going in there with a hammer

in case you wondering what twitters like rn the answer is "not good"

[sergle]

ok. so. the ballpark I got for the NYC surgeon I was aiming for may have been 15k but the actual QUOTE. for that guy. is 23k. We love that.

i truly am in a delicate trap of my own making at the moment huh (writing two different very very long fics (history rhymes and drive the wedge) that take place over the course of Several Months and have important timeline-based escalations involved where i have to actually figure out what is happening and when and anchor the progression of events to how long it's been since the Central SituationTM started)

birthday food was good lookat this thing

Brain is malfunctioning bc I'm looking at a 23k fic, and the author said they wrote it in 4 hours... 4 hours?? What do you mean?? Your mind has really gotta be in the roughest draft of rough draft modes to be able to churn that out within that time.

How many words per hour can y'all get out? I mean, if I'm booking it and don't have to consider what I'm writing, I could probably get 2k in an hour, but that's generally not the case. I hem and haw over the details so much that it could easily take me 4 hours just to get 2500 words or so. Maybe even less words if I'm really struggling.

A little fucking insane of me to think I was EVER going to fit 25 and 26 into one chapter. Just like. Looking at the final count for them combined, it would not have fit on one post.

ppl literally have to think for .5 seconds about aging characters up. i mean u don’t have to agree but like grrrrrrrrrr. ppl r so annoying

[myriadebleue]

here's a messy little thing I scribbled while I tried to think of ideas and plot points for one of the longfics I'm working on.

If you're curious, here's the scene it was based on:

Once the flames and their light had receded, Xie Lian could make out a figure kneeling on the ground. A slender young man, wearing tattered dark robes, his black hair falling loose upon his back and shoulders. His form was flickering, a clear sign that he was not human.

Xie Lian broke through his bindings by shattering the rod he was bound to against the rocks. He stood up from the ground, careful as he walked closer to the figure. Just then, Ruoye zipped past Xie Lian, startling him a little. It came back and looped around him in an apology, before it leaped at the ghost and looped around him as well, patting his head in a clear reprimand. With how familiar Ruoye was acting, there was little doubt as to who this could be. Yet, Xie Lian needed to make sure.

“Xiao Hua?”

The ghost lifted his head, mismatched eyes looking up at him, joy and awe only barely concealed behind a veil of disorientation. Xie Lian was momentarily stunned at the sight of the crimson eye, mesmerized in kind by the fairness of the young man's face; his features were ones that many would be envious of.

“Are you... you're really that ghost fire?”

The ghost smiled, as he kept staring up at Xie Lian. He seemed confused, but soon enough, he nodded.

how i look after your latest dm to me

please im sorry my chapters are so long i cant help it (i definitely could, if i wasnt so stubborn and refused to split them from how i already worked them out)

[sergle]

Is it okay to ask who you saw? Also I was honestly terrified of all this, but seeing your experience gives me hope! I wanna be able to breathe!!

I'd absolutely love to link you to my surgeon's site privately but would prefer not to post it publicly!!! for the obvious reason. otherwise I'd be namedropping him already! but if you want a surgeon in texas and you'd like me to send a link your way, then definitely contact me some way that I can reply privately

oh hey this blog reached 500+ followers. when did it get that high. this was supposed to be a shhh little quiet side blog.

thanks guys for always listening to me talk almost exclusively about my characters <3

[tethered-heartstrings]

why is posting a fic harder than writing it
