#like he writes characters like a fanfic writer

[alienlibrarian]

After reading this article (def check it out, its only long email length), I can now point out a specific thing i enjoyed about fanfics I've read and come back to.

yes, while the characters, dialogue details, and actions benefit from the main source often being from visual media, the fanfic that i come back to yeard after its completion are the ones that hold tighter to the literary aspect.

i may be reading about MCUs Iron Man but this fanfic has the added detail of *narrating his thoughts* as well, which can directly oppose the action and dialogue we see. but this opposition brings a tension and personality to the character that makes them *more* relatable. Hes no longer just superhero Iron Man, he's human being Anthony Stark who may or may not think about his mom more than you think. cool detail.

Pulling out of POV, theres also the narrative itself. the repetition of lines or poetry to add loteral aesthetic to a scene (chefs kiss), the extended metaphors stretching for pages, the "summary of scenes", and even the desciption or history of the setting which can become its own character in the plot. (this house is haunted vs this house holds grudges and ghosts).

also, about that "summary of scene" which is so overlooked in visual media. we get so used to the Date Time Location format we forget theres a history involved, an existence even at rest, in death, in silence, and without an audience or viewer.

in screen writing, in stage writing, in any writing that intends to convey *feelings*, that setup is so important. (listening to Epic the Musical song by song vs getting the scene setups in between adds a whole layer and continuity to the story), and since writers become the master of time whether they write fanfic or textbooks, there *can always* be space in the narrative for internal summations.

describe what they say, show us what they do, but tell us how they feel or what the last experience they had that looked like this one would compare to the current situation. adding in things that make us "be-ings" rather than two-dimensional archtypes. we all have a past, we all have unconscious behaviors and beliefs, and these color who we are just as much as our words, looks, and actions.

those are the stories i wanna read, and the ones im gonna write.

A lot of fiction these days reads as if—as I saw Peter Raleigh put it the other day, and as I’ve discussed it before—the author is trying to describe a video playing in their mind. Often there is little or no interiority. Scenes play out in “real time” without summary. First-person POV stories describe things the character can’t see, but a distant camera could. There’s an overemphasis on characters’ outfits and facial expressions, including my personal pet peeve: the “reaction shot round-up” in which we get a description of every character’s reaction to something as if a camera was cutting between sitcom actors.

When I talk with other creative writing professors, we all seem to agree that interiority is disappearing. Even in first-person POV stories, younger writers often skip describing their character’s hopes, dreams, fears, thoughts, memories, or reactions. This trend is hardly limited to young writers though. I was speaking to an editor yesterday who agreed interiority has largely vanished from commercial fiction, and I think you increasingly notice its absence even in works shelved as “literary fiction.” When interiority does appear on the page, it is often brief and redundant with the dialogue and action. All of this is a great shame. Interiority is perhaps the prime example of an advantage prose as a medium holds over other artforms.

fascinated by this article, "Turning Off the TV in Your Mind," about the influences of visual narratives on writing prose narratives. i def notice the two things i excerpted above in fanfic, which i guess makes even more sense as most of the fic i read is for tv and film. i will also be thinking about its discussion of time in prose - i think that's something i often struggle with and i will try to be more conscious of the differences between screen and page next time i'm writing.

(Directed at the third person to send me death threats in this fandom-–)

Die hard Batman comic junkies will be like: TIM IS A PLAYBOY, READ THE COMICS!!!! BRUCE IS A BAD DAD, READ THE COMICS!!! JASON WAS NEVER BRUCE'S SON, READ THE COMICS!!! ZBSIKABAOAMNAHAOANAUSOBSYWJSBS YOU CAN'T HEADCANON THAT!?M? WAYNE FAMILY ADVENTURES IS THE REASON I AM DIVORCED!!!! FANFIC!?!?!?!? YOU CAN'T LIKE BATMAN MEDIA!!! DENIED!!! I SHALL GATEKEEP THEE AS THE DUNGEON MASTER OF MY OWN FANTASY!!!!! THIS IS MY FANDOM >:((( MY MOM SAID NOOOOOO!!!!

Like. Sir. Clam the F-- down and get off TikTok? Sir. Sir. Sir. I read comics, I have read the comics, I owns several physical comics, I have big books. I have small boks. I have Hush, Death In The Family, Death Of The Family, the ultimate Under The Red Hood book, I have three pride month specials shut up I am the queer, I have seventeen Batman movies I have watched religiously, I have read Tim Drake: Robin twice and I have reread Batman #408-409 that I have several theories revolving Jason and Bruce's relationship and also I have an entire site where any Batman comic I want to read is at my finger tips and YOU KNOW WHAT!?!?

I STILL LOVE WRITING FANON, FANON HEADCANONS!!! But my thing is let people enjoy things how they want because if I get one more death threat for enjoying a media that has existed since the 30's than I'm gonna crash out and post a thirty part long series about Tim fighting through a caffeine addiction and being adopted by Jason to get through it, I'll make him sad, and I'll make him date Bernard the entire time. I won't hesitate.

Also, if we stick to JUST the source material of every comic ever than there's two Jason Todd's, one from the circus who's a ginger and dates a girl named Rena (bring her back DC you cowards), and another from Crime Alley who steals tires and dies. Oh, also Batman and Robin have guns but then they stop using them for whatever reason. Also there's like two or three different Talia Al Ghul's but they aren't ever in the same room and we aren't sure which exactly is Damian's Mother or if Damian exists or how many there are and the clones but there's so many Damian's it ain't even funny... Oh, and Tim may or may not exist sometimes or date Babs or be married to her or be insane but that happened in the movies so it doesn't count for whatever reason because we can not combine movies and comics because the LOF (Laws Of Fandom) say so. Also Dick was adopted both before and after Jason but another Jason, like a third one or variant of the second one, who didn't actually die but did die the specifics don't matter!

MY POINT IS THIS IS A SERIES ABOUT AN EVER EVOLVING STORY WITH ALTERNATE UNIVERSES AND DIFFERENT TAKES AND THESE ARE COMICS!?!? These characters were literally designed with a basic outline to be adapted to however the writer sees fit for telling their story. A DIRECT QUOTE FROM SOMEONE WHO WORKED ON THE VERY POPULAR "Under The Red Hood" STORY IS THAT THIS IS JUST FANFIC AND BRINGING JASON BACK WAS BASICALLY A FANFICTION! A "WHAT IF" HE GOT FROM HUSH!

I don't care how YOU enjoy Batman media, and if you care how I ENJOY IT then block me so I don't have to see you telling the world how much bad you wish on people who enjoy fanfiction and certain comics even though you tell us to read the comics but not specific comics because you don't like the characterisation in that comic..? Like. Dude. Don't gatekeep and let people enjoy things how they want, that's all I'm saying, the mindset of gatekeeping a fandom is so 2020 and also 2015 Steven Universe/ Undertale amino... I am not going back to arguing over the gender of Frisk and Chara.

Wayne Family Adventures is also bad a%# and I am not a fan of how the writers wrote Duke, but I can accept it because it's funny and cute and you can't take it from me ♥︎

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk—

Does viv have any human connections? Like does she know what real friends are or dating/being in relationship? Because HB/HH are just devoid of human emotions. The ships are unseasoned or fetishized. Queer men are just yaoi watt pad fanfic from 2010 where even though it depicts two men there’s always a “woman” in the relationship so it feels heteronormative and porn made for women. The yuri is unseasoned and dry or practically nonexistent, and comes across as “gals being pals” someone said it best “if your characters have to kiss to make it seem like they’re in love, their not in love” and that’s exactly how viv writers her romance.

the friendship in both shows is concerning because they don’t feel like friends, they feel like people forced to be together because the protagonist (blitz and Charlie) is their boss and their finically dependent of them. It’s unfair power dynamic. Blitz treats moxxie like shit but it’s played off as tough love even though moxxie can’t say or do anything to blitz because again blitz is the boss and can easily fire him or just not pay him. Millie has no say in what blitz does because she’s a woman and the writing is misogynistic because her role in the show is to cater to blitz and moxxie and be a shoulder for blitz to cry on or be moxxies wife.

Charlie is the princess of hell and even though no one cares (except vox and Valentino) she provides the crew shelter and board and throws money at them for free as long as the try to better themselves. Alastor drags husk and nifty to the hotel so they are literally forced to stay there, but thanks to leaks we know that alastor is also forced to stay at the hotel because Lilith/rosie wants him to be a babysitter to Charlie. Vaggie is too codependent on Charlie, there’s nothing to her aside from how much she “loves” Charlie. Charlie gets Angel in trouble at work but because she’s royalty Valentino doesnt do anything to her so he takes it out on Angel and instead of apologizing like an adult she cries like a baby and Angel gets gaslit by the writers and say how much he appreciates her and thanks her when she has done nothing to help him and he’s still being sex trafficked.

Idk who told Viv she can writer romance, maybe it was the people she pays, but she can’t. She can’t write angst, she can’t write friendships, she can’t write villains, she can’t writer love. You know the saying “writer what you know” Viv doesn’t know love and friendship she only knows how to write abuse, rich people being the victims, and fanfic of her own shows, and bullying critics and past friends because that’s how petty and insecure she is

Viv has her family and pets, but beyond that, she doesn't seem to have any friends or connections with people that don't work for her.

Hi and thank you for the tag @gauntletgirlie! <3 The tag game is a wonderful idea, but I want to spread the posivity both ways. So um - I will do it my own way. Aka, I will give the person who tagged me compliments and also compliment the people I am tagging. That way everyone in this post gets the positivity they deserve I feel like. <3

@gauntletgirlie: You already write so well for someone who has just shared their own writing for the first time; I love the way you wrote Adar's and Celebrimbor's dynamic in your silverscars fic, the way Adar tried to keep his distance and Celebrimbor gently but insistently got closer to him and coaxed him into giving into his desires; you had me sitting there like "ohhh I wish this continued" and "I hope she writes more!" after I finished reading <3

Now for the people I am tagging (absolutely zero pressure to respond btw! I mean it! I am doing this because I want to, not because I expect anything in return!):

@plotdesigner Your lore and world building for the uruk is absolutely stunning and wonderful an I love every little detail I learn about them in your fic(s); I love the way you alternate POVs between characters and manage to give them distinct, individual voices and rich inner lives, even going the extra mile to write Adar in the 2nd person POV; you have a lovely way of weaving in little bits of humor that feels very adequate for the circumstances and also humanizes the characters a lot!

@themalhambird Your Adar/Finrod fic had some very well-developed OCs that were very distinct and interesting to read about, each had their own individual voice; the pairing wasn't something I thought I would be interested in but I finished the little fic before I knew what had happened; the way you wrote the interaction between the main pair was sweet and heart-wrenching to the point it made me emotional (I mean that as a compliment!)

@thephoenixandthecrocodile I love the dynamic between Adar, Celebrimbor and Narvi, they all have their strengths and weaknesses and complement each other very well, I love how you give each character weaknesses and humanizing elements that make them so very relatable; I think it is so cool that your first fanfic is a multi-chapter one and already goes on for so long - that is quite the feat! (and that your 2nd is also multi chapter and finished! Congrats!); I'd love to see more of the way your throuple develops Mordor together, the concept of a dwarven/elvish/uruk construction sounds so cool! and also what their relationship will be like in the future!

@gingeragenda The one fic of yours I read (Adar/Balrog) took a concept that should have been difficult to pull off and made it seem effortless; the interaction (cough) between the two was very sexy; despite the fact that the Balrog got sent out for rather sinister purposes, there was a tenderness that I did not expect between the two characters that I quite enjoyed while reading!

@wowstrawberrycow I love how you want to give Adar good, soft and cute things always, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside; I loved the dynamic between him and Gil-Galad in your AU fic, how Gil is taking care of him as best as he can and is a rock for Adar; love the worldbuilding so far, despite the dire circumstances, there is hope shining through and the two are fighting so hard to carve out their happiness. It's really fascinating!

I think I as a writer I am somewhere between "good most of the time" and "every so often I have a good line" tbh; my lovely readers, mutuals and friends on here make me feel like I am a very good writer (TYSM!) while I myself would tend to believe I am...okay? Maybe? If I have a good day. ^_^'

Writing compliment for myself...I manage to write and share my works despite a lot of self-doubt, anxiety and perfectionism? Does that count?

I want to do a compliment exercise. I got the idea from a poll I saw.

First, vote on this poll:

Now, reblog and tag 5 writers that you would want to see do this (no pressure, of course)... and in your CAPTION (not tags), give 3 compliments to the person you reblogged this from's writing. In your TAGS (not caption), put what your answer was.

Give yourself at least one writing compliment too, while you're at it.

If you reblog it from me, don't worry about doing the compliments since almost none of you have actually read my writing (if any of you have 😅).

If you really want to do the compliments for me, you can compliment something else but it isn't necessary when reblogging from the original source.

Let's get a compliment/positivity/love thread going. ❤️

[greenerteacups]

I cannot tell you just how obsessed I am with Lionheart - I have literally ranted about it with everyone who has even a remote interest in Harry Potter. It is the best thing I have read, it has made me fall in love with the series all over again, I feel like I'm reading and experiencing it all for the first time! I'm even trying to dabble in bookbinding just to actually have a hardcopy of your fics (hard emphasis on trying)

I love sweet cranky Draco and how you have so beautifully written him into the golden trio - I love how he balances Hermione out and matches her brilliance, I have always hated how she was always the odd one out whenever Ron decided to stop talking to her. I keep telling everyone I truly think you have a better understanding of the characters than JKR did - how you've written Harry as this very perceptive and gentle peacemaker who is craving so deeply for family (that scene end of book 4 where Arthur comes crashing in to save him? ugh, ab.so.lute.ly. heartwrenching!!) , how you've made Ron a wonderful character and brilliant in his own way (it's so easy for fanfic writers to bash him and make him this big dumb boy who doesn't get hermione- I love that even Draco recognizes that he has his strengths). I love how you've paralleled Snape as Draco's godfather to Sirius and Harry. I love the subtle ways you have changed the story to keep us on our toes. I love how slow and realistically they have grown page by page and I am so very excited to see where you take them next. Ugh I can go on and on. Everything is so well written and I love how you've expanded my vocabulary. You are such an exceptional writer!!

I do find it interesting (and I haven't been able to find any previous posts on this) that Book 2 is the chambers of secrets book and there is zero appearance of the basilisk, which seems a pretty glaring omission. Obviously this is what Theo is trying to find where we are in Book 5, but I was wondering why the delay and doesn't this mess with lining up events with the main series? I guess we wont' know until the grand reveal. But then that made me wonder if it's just "Book 1" and "Book 2" - are there no subtitles "Draco Malfoy and the Chamber of Secrets", etc?

Anyways, I'm all caught up now and just wanted to say - I'm so in love with your work and can't wait to see where you take us next!

Hi, thank you so much for this message! You are so kind to write it!

I would point out that Book 2 isn't really the "chamber of secrets" book — as you point out: he got no gotdamn Chamber in there. The plot of Chamber of Secrets doesn't really work without Lucius, so it's one of the places where the fic diverges the most. Books 6 and 7 will also diverge a lot more from the source material, just so you know! I view Lionheart as a reimagining of the Harry Potter story, not a beat-for-beat retelling. Obviously, some things will remain the same (contrary to what they may believe, neither Lucius nor Draco are so important that the plot totally collapses without them) but for the most part, I'd say I'm trying to re-tell the story in my own way, which means parking the basilisk for a few years while I sort out other things in the story. I promise I'll try to make all payoffs worthwhile, though. :)

[theogygiaisland]

It's my birthday and to come into the ripe back-aching age of 28 I just binged watch two Quentin Tarantino films. Just wanted to say that if he could do the movies he does, you can certainly publish that fanfic no matter how badly you think you've written it

[destiel-wings]

this is dean directly speaking to us with the fanfiction writing power and living outside of the narrative he's trapped in, asking us to do what chuck and the cw don't allow him to have

[volvolts]

If they did went into Belos' backstory which direction do you personally think the show would have went with (example: either Belos was a good kid but grew into a bad person, or even as a kid he was evil)?

Neutrally speaking, I feel like belos was meant to be as unsympathetic as possible and this should reflect in the backstory. Also iirc how evelyn met caleb was that she “went to find the least crazy human in town and caleb was that” meaning that caleb was definitely someone we are meant to compare favorably against philip. There’s also the two most important traits we have to also think about with belos: his refusal to change and his inability to take accountability. I think he would be a good kid in which being “good” mean he didn’t come out the womb evil but just doesn’t want to admit he’s wrong and never grew out of that

Ideally this would all be from caleb’s perspective and only cutting to philip sometimes to show his more manipulative traits and attachment issues. We would not be following philip’s perspective at all. 

I feel like with those in mind that it would go something like this: caleb shielded philip from the dangers of the world as best he could and while caleb grew weary and questioned society as philip’s protector, philip followed gravefields ideals uncritically. Also probably philip manipulates caleb to get out of stuff probably like faking a cold so caleb does his chores, taking advantage of caleb’s kindness and all that. It’s small things but like, red flags that add up ya know. also he probably has delusions of grandeur for his whole hero thing. Caleb meets evelyn and realizes the boiling isles is everything he wants to escape to. Maybe if philip and evelyn met he did stuff like hide letters evelyn gives him to give to caleb or something idk

Philip learns that caleb thinks “maybe witches aren’t bad actually and we don't need to be witch hunters” and does something awful to caleb or evelyn and so caleb follows evelyn and philip is unable to cope with the fact it was his own fault that he drove caleb away–it was the witches fault clearly. He needs to go to the demon realm to prove to himself that the witch did this. He does not reflect because he doesn’t think he needs to. 

From there we follow caleb unlearning his biases and realizing maybe philip was a bad brother to him and caleb was victim to the system. He learns, he copes, he’s recovering.

Then philip shows up.

Philip hasn’t changed. He’s still caught up on this idea it’s evelyns fault things happened. He doesn’t think he did anything wrong. he'll look guilty but brush it off and insist it's evelyn's fault. Philip brings the worst out of caleb. Philip is mad that caleb isn’t listening to him and caleb is mad that philip doesn’t realize he’s the problem. He still thinks he is just someone who can save caleb despite him not needing saving. Evelyn suggests that maybe he should cut philip off. Caleb refuses because philip is family. He’ll come around if he gives him time. 

And you know the rest

also ultimately he is this picture

[cluescorner]

I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc

[meiko-komoko]

rewatched The Mind Robber yesterday and I can't stop thinking about a sequel where the new Master of the Land is a fanfic writer from the 2010s

[raifuujin]

“I just don't like Gosho's use of ideas nowadays” do you have some examples? I’ve been feeling the same but I still don’t have like articulate thoughts on it

Well, 'nowadays' has been for. About ten years, ish? The most glaring example that always sticks out in my mind is the Sun Halo MK chapters, with the complete and utter waste of the very common fanfic tropes of 'Aoko gets suspicions' and 'Kid gets injured around someone'. But it kind of matches the general problem I have with his writing that I don't think used to be this bad: He's trying to stuff too much around the strict case-by-case structure (or for MK, introducing the heist-by-heist structure) without actually giving anything focus. (And for MK it's so much worse because he writes it so rarely, that he makes everyone cameo every time but they tend to just get hand waves to whatever drama plot gets instigated by Kid having his next heist.)

For DC, it's the whole. 1) Overarching plot with the BO and suspects and 'here's the available suspects for who's involved with the BO that we introduce one at a time at the end of cases and then maybe leave more clues about them during future cases'. 2) Dangling character or relationship progress and then constantly pulling it away, usually as a joke. 3) When we do occasionally get some of the major plot, it's all at once and then maybe mentioned once in the next case, but otherwise completely dropped. (Amuro and Akai and Kudo tea party tease also lingers as a 'Gosho is just evil at this point'.) Basically rigid structure that doesn't allow for much of the subplots aside from breadcrumbs.

For the current situation, it's also tied into interview comments. Which. have no bearing on the story until he actually uses them. But instead of even that, the movie gets exciting stuff instead and puts it in a giant limbo of is it meant to be canon or not, because no one has been able to settle on that for any movie, even as some details get connected back to the manga more and more.

It's bad writing. Gosho has been a bad writer for a long time, and it's kinda just getting worse. It's my opinion that it's because he tries to have his case after case after case (because mystery manga), and then stuff little bits of everything else in the seams, whether it works well with the case he's writing or if it's a good delivery or (more usually) it's just. Kinda tacked on.

It's partially because of time investment, partially because I have low standards of entertainment, and partially because I want to see how it all ends that I stick with DC. MK is. Similar, but hurts more because I really hate how it morphed into the DC structure when old MK had more you could do with it. Gosho will never drop his rigid case-by-case structure at this point, but it really would be better if he did at this point. Things need development that they're not allowed to have. Or at least smooth out the lines between his hints. And stop with Heiji and Kazuha, just. God. Stop. Is this how people felt about Kid appearances? I feel like at least when people were mad about Kid, they knew nothing was going to happen from the get go, the romance 'tease' is just painful.

[chodzacaparodia]

Sometimes it really amuses me that in some stories the characters have to cross the magical border of the love confession so that they completely forget about their previous shyness and throw themselves at each other in a mad rush of desire, using really dirty language during sex.

[strawberrywinter4]

Honestly, I could imagine John taking up boxing.

Just like… think about it. Him only wearing a simple t-shirt and shorts (or maybe sweatpants).

I feel it would be an impulsive decision, you know? He just decides to wake up early one morning and head to the gym, feeling a burst of adrenaline that he just has to unwind.

And I feel like once he starts, he’d begin to enjoy the exercise. It would allow him to release any tension building up in his shoulders or maybe a lingering thought that annoys him to no end.

And most importantly, he’d like the feeling after he’s done continuously punching the bag, feeling fresh and his thought process being replaced with a new mindset.

Sherlock would notice after a little while, seeing how his muscles are a tad more defined or how his grip has increased whenever he cups Sherlock behind the neck to place a kiss to his lips.

Sherlock would also begin to notice how John’s step has a little more power, a little more of a stride than a walk. Don’t get him wrong, he appreciated John’s obvious confidence before and he fell in love with the soldier’s assurance, but now he seems more happy with himself.

John allowing himself to clear his head in the morning with a healthy workout has made him feel better, Sherlock can tell.

Of course John wouldn’t have every day to do his boxing exercises and some days he’s content on taking a full day of relaxation, which Sherlock adores. John decides when he wishes to put his body to work and when to give it rest, not rushing any specific process. Sherlock is glad to see John simply taking the reigns of his mentality, assertive of what he wants when and where.

It’s quite hot, Sherlock thinks.

John is a holder, enjoys touching Sherlock any way he can to show affection (mostly in the comfort of their flat), which Sherlock has learned to become obsessed with.

A hand on Sherlock’s lower back when leading him through a crime scene, a grip to the chin to press their lips together when John’s about to leave for the surgery, or a simple cuddle session on the sofa, John’s arms wrapped around the detective as he absently watches the television.

And Sherlock doesn’t miss the stronger holds, the tighter squeezes. He sucks in a shaky breath, his cheeks flushing at the slight change. He wouldn’t say anything, only appreciate John’s new routine.

Sherlock loves John’s body in every way. He has a bit of a stomach that he can snuggle into and specific birth marks that he’s memorized. Sherlock will love John no matter the circumstance and just seeing John happier with his exercise decision makes him happier.

[jonathanssweatercollection]

you still resent nancy and jonathan for getting together???? for “hurting steve’s feelings”??? despite the fact that he verbally supported their relationship like 2 hours after seeing them together. this from a season that released 6 fucking years ago. a season prior to him saying that he was NOT in love with nancy anymore. do you want me to call shawn levy and tell him of your dilemma. bestie do you need to rewatch the source material

[keithsandwich]

I still can't stop thinking about Keith being obsessed with Maeve when she's the fictional character and he's the player of her game.

He wouldn't even have time for other suitors, there's only Mae in his (their) mind 😭
