Helpful blogs

The amazing @fox-trot, who not only makes astonishing art and write an amazing fic, she also responds to medical questions and gives all kinds of references for writing medic characters.

@writebetterstarwars, which seems to be inactive, but there are a bunch of references there.

@howtofightwrite The place to find out how to write a good fight scene.

@scriptmedic no longer active, but it has a great deal of useful information.

@scripttorture for your whump needs. Major trigger warning for all its content.

Writing in General (For those who don't want to die like Stormtroopers)

SlickWrite: Completely free; online. Checks grammar, punctuation, flow, and writing style according to different settings (including fiction writing).

ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I've ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, it gives +20 different in-depth reports for only the first 500 words for free. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn't mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you're writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit.

LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence, even if it doesn't raise any flags; it's very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn't feel quite right.

Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.

Sera do you have a live journal or Wattpad thingie? I'm going on vacation and I while I'd love to re-read your entire blog again, I was wondering if I could follow your creations somewhere else 🧡

Hey Bunnie! This is a wildly flattering ask to receive first thing coming back home, thank you :D Hope your vacation is excellent and sunny! Aside from here I don’t really have many existing spots I’d publicly/actively post content on, at least right now? I’m taking the opportunity to make this answer into a where else to find me directory, though! I don’t know if what I do have is at all interesting to you or anyone else (because nothing except my dreamwidth has anything to do with sims) but:

Lately my favorite form of escapism has been DnD, and I plan to use my waterfall blog to post character and campaign art, as well as talk into the void about my characters + mini campaign I’m writing. Haven’t much, yet, but here it is.

Somewhat related, I’m trying to get into Twitter the Other HellsiteTM but don’t really have followers for the content mix of oh shit i forgot i have a twitter, personal in public, hey i painted this look, and lol NERD. My personal tumblr is at this point mostly carefully curated and untagged reblogs running on queue, but if that’s interesting, here it is. Anyone can follow if they want to, and if I know you I’ll probably follow back. I only block assholes and bots.

+ Currently not as active but existing other places:

skindancer: game fan art tumblr that I don’t use much at the moment. It has my own art, and possibly embarrassing mouth-foaming text posts from when I’ve been really excited about something 2013-2017ish maybe? It’s been years since I was pumped enough about a game like that: there are only so many DA/ME/Saints Row/KotOR replay rounds you can do. Also tagged reblog categories for game posts, art inspiration, painting tutorials and other related resources.

iosiren(dw): at the moment I’m backing up the posts on serabiet there. It’s taking forever because it’s boring and I don’t want to do it, so I don’t. Later though, my dreamwidth is where I’ll post the Strange County story.

unlinked AO3 account with one short sad fic waiting for its friends. We don’t speak of it even if we find it.
