On average how long does it take you to write a fic? I see you post pretty often on ao3 so I was just wondering if you had any tips to write faster? you make it seem so effortless lol/pos
I must confess, Iâve been procrastinating on finishing a fic for a few weeks nowâŚnonetheless I do have some tips!
So the brutal truth here is that when I really want to get something written I donât sleep LMAO. Usually Iâll stay up until 4:00 AM writing, but I havenât been able to do that lately because Iâve been trying to prioritize a healthy sleep schedule. Itâs better to start writing early so you donât stay up half the night, that can actually make things more difficult as after a certain hour your brain will just shut off (at least thatâs what happens for me)
The length it takes me to write a fic depends on the type of fic, if itâs 3-4K I can usually knock it out in a day or two, unless Iâve been putting it off. If itâs 9-12k it takes me a couple of days, though I have written fics that length in one sitting before. Again, I do crazy work between the hours of 8:00 PM and 4:00 AM. If itâs anything near 20k it usually takes me a few months, especially if I have a lot going on irl at the time. My longest fic was 52k and I pretty much wrote that through the winter. Right now Iâm working on one thatâs meant to end at around 15k and I already have 12k of it written, but I ramble so it might come out a bit longer
Okay now onto actual productive tips. In my experience, the best way to write a lot is literally just to spill all your thoughts onto the page. Yap like your life depends on it. If Iâm writing the character experiencing something I have a lot of opinions on, Iâll spend several paragraphs just talking about that. Some of my best and longest fics come from me straight up venting into a Google Doc. Itâs like a diary except no one can tell how much is the characterâs pov and how much is me working out my own problems. If you think you ranted too much, you can always go back and delete some later
Itâs also good to try and always be writing. One of my Mitsukou fics was written almost entirely between breaks at work. I bring my computer with me if Iâm going somewhere over night. Iâll write while Iâm waiting for a class to start, and in between classes- especially if I have a long break. I write a paragraph or two on the toilet sometimes. And also be thinking about the characters a lot, Iâm hyperfixated on tbhk rn so these little losers are always on my mind; so when I sit down to write, Iâve already written most of the fic in my head. Share your own headcanons and analysis, people love reading that stuff. Donât be afraid to get creative and take a few liberties, most readers are subconsciously longing for new things in their fics
Also donât stress yourself out too much about what you post! Fanfic is best when itâs written for your own enjoyment above anyone elseâs. Sometimes I get too caught up in what other people will think of my fics and forget I have total control over everything I write. If you worry too much about making your work âperfect,â youâll never want to write. Make yourself your main target audience, it makes the process way more fun
I hope some of this helped you!! Thank you for your ask, this gave me the motivation to work on my wip. Iâm also currently writing fics for every day of Aoinene Week so itâs been busy. A good fic playlist also helps, it helps you better envision the world youâre writing. Recently Iâve been basing my fics off specific music artists which gets me really invested. Happy writing :)

The Joker X Reader - âGhost Driverâ
When The Joker says youâre his, it means youâre essential to him because he needs your services for his own gain; it literally has zero affectionate connotations. Turbo is The Kingâs Ghost Driver and although sheâs a legend, her life is far from perfect.
Part 2
âWhereâs all your stuff?!â Frost asks since the apartment is pretty much empty.
âGave it to Adam,â you sulk. âHe wouldnât sign the divorce papers so I gave in; I donât even care⌠Iâm glad heâs out of here.â
Jonny gazes at you in silence, a million words rushing through his mind and The Jokerâs henchman canât articulate anything close to what he would like to vociferate besides foolish small talk:
âHow are you holding up?â
âNot sure⌠I donât even know what the hell happened to usâŚIt used to be so great and then he started making comments about my weight, gossiping with his friends behind my back, then cheated⌠I couldnât handle it,â Y/N confesses although Frost is already acquainted with the dreadful story of her crumbled marriage.
âNot what the hell happened to us,â he decides to underline his personal opinion. âI think the question should be what the hell happened to him: you didnât do anything wrong. And I believe you look perfect,â he mumbles the last sentence.
âWhat was that?â you search the fridge for his favorite soda.
âNothing... nothingâŚâ
âHere you go,â you offer the cold Fanta to a distraught companion.
âThanks, Y/N. Hereâs the money for tonight,â he gives you the envelope. âAs usually, half now , half after the job is done.â
âOK,â you accept the terms without issues because itâs how The Clown Prince of Crime pays for your services. âJonny, why is there an extra thousand dollars in here?!â
âUmmmâŚâ the man tries to find a reasonable explanation yet Y/N canât accept his strategy.
âShould I text Mister Joker and thank him for the bonus?â
âNope,â he bites on his lip.
âI appreciate it,â you return the extra cash to Frost. âIâm fine. Really.â
âWellâŚâ he takes the bills and stashes them in his wallet, â⌠let me know if you need anything, alright?â
âI promise I will, â you smile. âI swear on my Turbo honor,â the joke makes him smile also.
âHey Y/N⌠I was thinking⌠maybe one of these days, if you feel like it, we could⌠and itâs entirely up to you, no pressure⌠maybe you would want to⌠â
Frostâs phone keeps ringing and he retrieves from his suitâs pocket, annoyed about the interruption.
âItâs Audra,â he huffs while declining the call.
âMight be important,â you sort of urge him to answer.
âMeh, I doubt it. She will chew my ears off regarding our relationship that ended 3 months ago. Iâm not interested,â he strolls towards the exit due to another pressing matter he has to attend. âI have to go, Mister Joker has a meeting soon; Iâll see you later, Y/N.â
âSee you,â you wave and lock the door when your cell alerts of an incoming text from The Joker.
Downloading two pictures⌠Pictures?!
âOhâŚmy⌠GodâŚ!â you hold your breath when the first image depicts a totally naked King of Gotham reflected in the mirror at his gym and squeal when the second one shows a close up of his mid-section.
âOh my God!â you burst out laughing as you admire the unexpected missive. âHeeeelllo Mister Joker,â you mutter and actual phrases pop up on your screen.
âI sent these to the wrong number, Y/N. Ignore and erase them!â
âOf course, sir!â you immediately reply with no intention of doing it for the moment.
Why?
The hilarious error shook you up from apathy and itâs worth saving those pics for a bit longer since you canât remember the last time something got your attention after the messy divorce.
***************
11:49 PM
The Joker is the first one to get in the car next to you, firmly clutching to his suitcase full of diamonds freshly stolen from âDiamond Emporiumâ store on Glissan Avenue. You notice the other goons sneaking to the cars deliberately positioned around nearby streets for tonightâs robbery. How come J doesnât go with them?
The dilemma is simple:
The green haired menace typically arrives with his regular crew when he plans heists but has Y/N pick him up after the job is done.
âHi Mister Joker,â you greet your employer.
âHey,â he acknowledges your presence. âDid you delete the pictures?â The Joker gets straight to the point.
âYes,â you lie and tell the truth in the same time: you erased the whole body image but kept the close up one for future reference.
âGood. What did you think?â the hasty interrogation prompts a careful chosen response.
âYou look veryâŚ,â and you pause in order to find the correct term since a tiny mistake could set him off. â⌠Healthy, Mister Joker.â
âI do,â he huffs quite pleased with your statement.
You wish to add more but Frost and the new hire squeeze in the back seat awaiting orders.
âYouâre in luck kid,â Jonny places a box filled with precious gems at his feet. âYour first assignment and you get to meet Turbo.â
The young man opens his mouth in amazement as you move the fingers from your right hand in the air instead of a proper introduction.
âYouâre Turbo?! I thought youâre a guy!â Nick blurs out and Frost punches him in the head, displeased with the observation.
âSounds empty,â you growl while The Clown snorts.
âMy Ghost Driver A GUY??!! Ha-ha-ha-ha!â the unnerving, screechy noises make the newbie shrivel up. âTurbo, A GUY!â he continues to amuse himself before giving Nick a psychotic glare.
âIâmâŚIâm so sorry, I meant no disrespect,â he nervously stutters especially since J called you âhisâ.
The poor bastardâs oblivious about what the label implies in The Clownâs universe: when The Joker says youâre his, it means youâre essential to him because he needs your services for his own gain; it literally has zero affectionate connotations.
âWhere the fuck did you find this buffoon?â you chew on your gum, irritated.
âHeâs Richardâs nephew,â Jonny sucks on his teeth.
âUncle Panda is infinitely smarter,â Y/N barks at the revelation.
âIâm truly sorry,â Nick apologizes again and you cut him off.
âSave it!... ⌠I hear sirens,â you slowly inhale and The King calmly articulates:
âI forgot to mention I accidentally triggered the silent alarm.â
Translation: he did it on purpose.
You snicker at the first lights blinking in the distance, excited to have some fun after stressing so much in the past weeks. The vehicles belonging to the gang scatter in different directions as you step on the gas pedal, accelerating towards the numerous police cars answering to the 10-64 code.
âThatâs my girl!â J cracks his neck, already hyped at the adrenaline rush burning his veins: The Ghost Driver is perfect to offer him what he craves and she always delivers.
Thatâs why Turbo is his.
************
4:37 AM
âHiâŚMisterâŚMister JokerâŚâ you attempt to talk without slurring.
âItâs Ella,â his girlfriend snarls.
âWhyâŚwhere is he?â you guzzle down half of glass of wine, adamant in having a chat with your boss.
âWell, after you two had a merry time being chased by cops all over town, he came home and now heâs sorting out the diamonds,â the woman bitterly reports.
âI wanna talk to him,â you sniffle and drink some more alcohol.
âYou just saw him. Iâm sure it can wait until tomorrow.â
âIâm sure it canât!â you shout. âI just received important information heâd be iâŚinterested in,â you finally make it through the whole sentence.
Ella stomps in the living room, vexed at your behavior.
âItâs Turbo,â she shoves the phone in his fingers. âThe bitch is wasted!â
âWhat did you call me?!â the appalled Y/N is about to burst when The Jokerâs deep voice resonates I her ear. Â
âYeah?â
âSir,â you correct your bitter tone. âI h-have very important news!â
âIâm listening,â J ignores his woman as she cusses you out.
âI have to tell you in person, sir. Letâs go on a date and Iâll reveal the entire shocking...â
âHuh?!â
âI have crucial informationâŚâ
âQuit repeating yourself!â The Joker interrupts. âYouâre not making any sense. Go to sleep and weâll catch up after you sober up.â
âBut I wanna go on date Mister Joker,â you gulp the rest of the wine and prepare for a fourth round.
âWhy, because I look healthy?â J mocks and Ella sighs, not understanding the odd conversation sheâs witnessing. â⌠âŚ. ⌠Hello?â
A loud thud, then dialing tone at the other end of the line.
âI think she passed out,â The King of Gotham concludes, not particularly worried at the sudden halt of your monologue.
***************
3 Days Later
The late meeting is almost done: the buyers already purchased the diamonds J had for sale, among them your ex-husband Adam that has a small crowd gathered next to him; heâs supposedly famous for his crappy attitude enjoyed by jerks sharing the same ludicrous humor.
âYou know Iâm sensible when it comes to challenges and I couldnât grasp why she doesnât want my help in shedding a few pounds. Whatâs the harm in that?! I love curves but sometimes I donât, yaâ know?â he winks and the group laughs.
The Joker is arranging money in duffle bags, his concentration diverted by the impromptu comedic performance. What the heck are they yapping about?
Frost is certainly in a foul mood: J can guess his trusted henchman is worked up since the usual chilled Jonny canât control his anger.
âWhatâs wrong with being voluptuous, hm?â he addresses Adam and it clicks for The Joker: this is about Y/N.
âNothing at all,â he smirks and the laughter around the room dies out because not too many dare screwing with Jonny Frost. âI was merely emphasizing that if a woman canât lose weight, sheâs doomed. Y/N lost me, how is she going to get another stud if sheâŚâ
âPerhaps sheâs not interested in pieces of shit; definitely had her share!â Frost grumbles at the absurd remarks.
The Joker has no clue about whatâs going on, yet he wonât deny todayâs entertainment is far from boring.
âGive me a break!â Adam scoffs. âWhoâd sniff her tail if she refuses to get skinnier? Ooohhh, wait a minute, we might have an admirer,â he arrogantly slides your cell out of his coat. âI was browsing her pictures and what do you know? A gentleman sent Y/N a picture of his junk three days ago. I am deeply sorry, my bad. She does have somebody sniffing her tail. What kind of loser sends images of his dangling goodies to another dudeâs wife?!âÂ
âEx-wife!â Jonny sneers whilst Jâs calculation leads to an easy verdict: you kept one pic.
âWhose junk is this?! Is it yours?â your estranged spouse accuses Frost without any evidence.
âItâs my junk,â The Jokerâs serene revelation makes everyone freeze: they have no idea how to react at the puzzling escalation of events.
Is he bluffing?!
âI wasnât aware I require permission in order to text whatever I desire to whomever I want.â
Awkward silence and Frost approaches Adam, boiling with indignation.
âWhy do you have Y/Nâs phone?â
Your husband doesnât have a chance to justify his action: Jonnyâs punch throws him to the ground, immediately followed by his unsettling ultimatum. Â
âYou son of a bitch, what did you do to her?â
Your former husband gets on his elbow ready to attack when The Kingâs stern inquiry stops his motion:
âWHERE.IS.MY.TURBO?â
****************
After 1 hour
Frost lifts you higher in his arms while you keep wheezing, trying to regain control.
âIâm sorryâŚI attacked you,â the weakened Y/N whispers. âI thought you were Adam...â
After being abducted and left to starve for the last 3 days, you had one clear purpose: to kill the guy that did it. Adam surely crossed the line with his despicable plan of making you lose weight: he creeped in your apartment, kidnapped you and took you to his home where you were chained in the cellar until Jonny found you. The basement was dark and you couldnât see, thatâs why you used whatever strength you had left in order to attack the individual responsible for your misfortune.
Turned out it was actually a rescue party although Frost is now the proud owner of a beautiful bump courtesy of Y/N.
âNo problem,â Jonny takes you to his SUV, carefully laying you down in the passengerâs seat. âHowâs your head?â he wipes the dried blood on your cheeks since Adam knocked you out unconscious while you were talking to The Joker after the heist.
âIâm OK,â you start crying, mostly mad at yourself for being such an easy prey, yet you didnât see it coming.
âYou know⌠Itâs OK not to be OK,â Frost opens a bottle of water and gives it to you. âIâll take you home, you can take a shower and Iâll have the doctor come for an emergency evaluation. Are you hungry?â
âIâm so hungry,â tears stream down your face and Jonny has a great proposal.
âIâll order some food and if you want me to I can stay with you. After you feel better, we could⌠and itâs entirely up to you, no pressure⌠maybe you would want toâŚâ
The Joker rolls his eyes, deciding to emerge from the shadows.
âWow, this is painful to watch. Frost believes heâs still in high school: basically heâs asking you on a date. There, done. No need to beat around the bush. Jesus!â J scolds about a subject he shouldnât mess with. âI have a heist next week, you better be good to go by then!â he gestures at the confused duo. âIf youâll excuse me, I have my own date to honor. Weâre done here, yes?â
âYes sir,â Jonny replies for both, unwilling to split hairs with The Joker and his obnoxious aberrations. âHereâs your cell,â he returns the item to you and you snatch it, relieved. You seem to have an outburst of energy as you unlock the secured folder.
âWhereâs Adam?â
âI donât know, we had an altercation at the warehouse then he scrammed,â Frost reports, ogling a strange looking Y/N typing on her phone.
âHe wonât be able to hide,â you grin and send the attachment to The Joker.
*************
âWeâll be late for dinner,â Ella kisses The Clown. âIâm not a 100% positive why we had to waste precious time and come for her,â she pouts and drags him after her towards their vehicle.
Jâs phone chimes and he stops in his tracks, not expecting a message from you seconds after the encounter.
âMister Joker, you were very generous to share pictures with me.
Allow me to do the same.
Your Turbo.â
Imagines downloading and heâs not sure what to do when pics appear one by one: frames taken by the private investigator you hired to follow Adam when you suspected he was cheating. The bastard was diligent, but he was eventually caught in the act three days ago.
Whoâs the woman heâs with?
The Jokerâs Queen.
âWhatâs wrong?â she frowns at the visible switch in his temper.
The Clown ruthlessly slams Ella against the hood while her cell also receives a text from Y/N:
âWhoâs the bitch now?â

The Lonzo Ball and De'Aaron Fox drama, explained
Is Lonzo Ball really that scared to play DeâAaron Fox?
Lonzo Ball and DeâAaron Fox have brewed a bit of a rivalry. The two have always been compared as contemporaries because they play the same position and were in the same draft class, but theyâve also had multiple opportunities to play against each other between their time in college, the NBA Summer League, the NBAâs preseason, and now in the regular season.
That first regular-season matchup will take place in Sacramento Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. ET on ESPN and WatchESPN.
But the rivalry itself has gone to another level due to them not actually playing against each other. In last yearâs NCAA Tournament, Fox lit up Ball and UCLA to the tune of 39 points in a Sweet 16 victory. Since then, Ball has missed two potential matchups against Fox due to minor injuries.
Thatâs led to the conspiracy theory that Lonzo, along with other players, is âduckingâ Fox because theyâre scared to play him. Itâs become a running joke on Twitter and elsewhere.

Ball isnât actually faking injuries to avoid playing Fox (we think), but we wonât let that get in the way of a few good jokes.
Hereâs how this tin can theory got going.
1. Fox drops 39 on Lonzo during the NCAA tournament
The UCLA and Kentucky Sweet 16 matchup became a bigger deal than it usually is because of LaVar Ball talking up Lonzo, as heâs wont to do. This time, LaVar called his son a better player than Stephen Curry.
Thatâs a ridiculous notion, but itâs one that annoyed folks nonetheless. Among those people? DeâAaron Fox.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated in June, Fox admitted that he used LaVar Ballâs comments as extra motivation to dominate Lonzo in their matchup. He just wanted to shut him up, he said.
"In the last year, [LaVar] became relevant for some reason," Fox told SIâs Andrew Sharp. "When I knew Lonzo in high school, I'd never seen his dad before. He went crazy this year. I guess when your son is a lottery pick, that gives you a lot of confidence."
PHEW. Fox was not playing.
And the 39 he dropped on Lonzo Ballâs head shows us just how serious he was. Meanwhile, Ball only scored 10 points on 4-10 shooting.
youtube
2. DAD FIGHT
Days before the 2017 NBA Draft, in which Ball was taken No. 2 overall and Fox was drafted at No. 5, Foxâs father suggested his son had nothing to prove after getting the best of Ball in the college season.
âMy son already ate his ass up twice,â Aaron Fox said about Lonzo, according to Bleacher Reportâs Jonathan Abrams. â[LaVar] can say what he wants to say. I just tell him to go back and watch the film. Thatâs it.â
In their first matchup of the college season, Fox put up 20 points and nine assists to Ballâs 14 points, seven assists and six rebounds. UCLA won that matchup, though, 97-92. In last yearâs Sweet 16, Fox clearly outplayed Ball, as we noted above.
Aaron Fox said thatâs all his son needs to do: handle basketball on the court.
âAll that yap, yap, yapping, I donât even got to respond to that,â he said. âWe played them twice. Twice his son got outplayed. I always tell [DeâAaron], let your game speak for it. You ainât got to talk. You ainât got to fuss.â
3. Lonzo Ball sits out their first meeting as pros
Fox and Ball were scheduled to play each other on July 10 during the NBAâs Las Vegas Summer League. Ball was off to a flying start and Fox had also shown flashes during the event.
However, Ball sat out the matchup as a precaution due to an ankle injury he sustained earlier in the week.
That didnât stop the jokes from flying, but things really took off after Fox tweeted this out.
De'Aaron Fox's since-deleted tweet, presumably in reference to no rematch with Ball. http://pic.twitter.com/tnHVfOxAAw
â Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) July 10, 2017
OH NO HE DIDNâT!
He definitely did. When asked if the tweet was in reference to Ball, Fox said he was trolling, though he almost went with the âI was hacked!â excuse beforehand. .
âYâall ran with it faster than I would run a 40, so I did it,â Fox told reporters. âI know what yâall do. It made a story, didnât it?â
Ball said sitting out due to injury had nothing to do with playing Fox. If it was up to him, he said, heâd have played. However, it was the coaching staffâs decision to rest him.
4. LaVar Ball goes at Fox
A week later, LaVar Ball hopped on Fox Sports Radio to talk about his sonâs start in the summer league. Fox came up â and LaVar didnât hold back.
"Duck De'Aaron Fox? Have you heard about De'Aaron Fox? Hell nah. You can't hear about him unless he puts my boy's name in his mouth. He been doing all this stuff and ain't nobody been talking about him. So he and his dad gotta link themselves to us to be relevant. De'Aaron Fox had a whole season and the only thing they talk about is 39 points against Zo. You don't put Zo in a sentence, nobody cares about him," LaVar said during his appearance.
Fox didnât say anything in response, but weâre sure he got the message.
5. Lonzo Ball âducksâ Fox AGAIN
Or at least thatâs what the jokes tell us.
The Kings and Lakers were set to play each other during the NBAâs preseason on Oct. 8, but Ball was held out again with a minor ankle sprain sustained during a practice six days prior.
Two days before the game, Ball limped over to reporters and told them himself that he might sit.
Lonzo Ball limped over to reporters on his sprained ankle, said it felt a little better but wasn't sure he'd play Sunday vs. Kings.
â Mike Bresnahan (@Mike_Bresnahan) October 6, 2017
LET THE JOKES FLY.

Dodging D'Aaron Fox again??
â Brett Telford (@lalalakerlife) October 7, 2017
Again, the conspiracy theory doesnât have much of a factual basis. Ball didnât play in the Lakersâ previous preseason game six days before and sat out the final two Lakers preseason games thereafter with the same ankle problem.
But the pure coincidence of Lonzo having two separate minor injuries before games against Fox, along with LaVarâs comments before the preseason matchup, created a perfect storm of circumstances for laughs.
Ball is fully healthy and should play against Fox and the Kings on Wednesday. But if he doesnât? You already know the jokes thatâll continue to fly, even if the truth is far less interesting.
