is it too much to ask to be loved

Despite their differences, Henry was the one person Alex was always honest with and vice versa. Their petty quarrels were just a means to let off steam and Alex knew that Henry would never stoop to the level of taunting him over the fact that he got cheated on. And so, he sighed. A long, exhausted, heartbroken sigh. “Liam kissed another guy.”

Alex's entire view on life and love crumbles when he gets cheated on. Enter Henry motherfucking Fox, and his annoying trait of being right there when Alex needs him. What follows is an unexpected friendship and truckloads of confusion that lead to what might just be a love story for the history books. Well, the yearbook at least.

POV:

The strong need to be a victorian/edwardian woman with huge glasses that make me look cute af, and who writes and reads a lot, and comes across books about the supernatural inside of a small local library, and is told, by an elderly person who owns the store, of all these mysterious happenings which took place in this abandoned castle before being warned to never travel there.

But then I get visited by a ghost one night while I’m reading in my bed, with my candle lit beside me on a night stand. And they’re telling me to visit the castle because it is vitally important that I do. That there’s something that I must know of. And I think I’m simply imagining things. And unfortunately, my curiosity gets the best of me, and I end up traveling to the abandoned castle to see what the fuss is all about, only to discover something unknown and ancient.

And I end up falling for the ghost who owns the castle, who is extremely charming and kind, and lovable, which is the most unexpected turn in the story.

Pros of re-reading your own fic

a good time;

Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;

Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;

just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

Is that another TYpO

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!!!

the problem with reading and writing leading to a strong vocabulary is that you tend to know the vibe of words instead of their meanings.

if I used this word in a sentence, would it make sense? absolutely. if you asked me what it meant, could I tell you? absolutely not.

Since the whole thing with NaNoWriMo has gone down, I've noticed that one of their former sponsors, Ellipsus, has cut contact with NaNoWriMo because they do not support their stance on AI; I didn't know what Ellipsus was, but upon further research I've found that they are a writing platform that works a lot like Google Docs and Microsoft Word, only with a heavier leaning on the story-writing aspect and connecting with other writers - and they also completely denounce any use of AI, both in the writing process itself and in the use of their platform. I really appreciate that.

Since this is the case (and since I've noticed Google has begun implementing more AI into their software), I've decided to give Ellipsus a try to see if it's a good alternative to Google Docs (my main writing platform). It's completely free and so far, I've found it simple to use (although it is pretty minimal in its features), and I really like the look of it.

I figured I'd spread the word about this platform in case any of you writers would want to give it a try, and if you do, let me know how you like it!

calling in favours like i believe

He was doing an interview with Allure, where Alex was tasked with doing 9 things he had never attempted before in his life, and if he was being honest with himself, this was one of his more relaxing and casual PR requirements that he was more than happy to oblige with. His 5th activity of the day was, “Prank call a loved one after inhaling a balloon filled with helium,” Alex read outloud. He looked at the camera with a twinkle in his eye and an amused grin on his face. “Oh I know exactly whom to call,” he said.

(i saw an interview of tyla and just HAD to make it my own and make it firstprince. it was a visceral need actually)

i'm a writer irl (can't say who because my agent would rightfully put me into a blender and press the button if i go and out myself as "balrogballs") and honestly the funniest and most humiliating incident of my life was the time my finished manuscript triggered a plagiarism flag with the publisher for two lines of prose in my literary fiction novel...

.... which was word for word similar to a paragraph in a certain explicit work on FFN starring elrond and his batsman from the hobbit films, aka that one elf that looked like he ate panic attacks for breakfast (i forget his name but it's Figwit II) where the lord of imladris bends said twink over his writing desk and gives him the battering ram treatment.

and if you think i had to sit in front of one if the biggest publishing companies in the world and admit that it was, in fact, me who wrote the fic where the lord of imladris bends said twink over his writing desk and gives him the battering ram treatment in order to avoid being wrongly flagged for plagiarism, you would be absolutely correct.

(yes they published the book)

An adaptation of Sherlock Holmes set in a world in which the fictional character/literary juggernaut Sherlock Holmes, and all the subsequent adaptations thereof, still exist.

Sherlock Holmes (pronounced Holl-mess, as he is constantly reminding people) just had the misfortune of having parents who really liked the books, and his attitude towards his fictional counterpart is pretty much the same as that of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Sherlock runs a Youtube Theory channel called Mysteries Unwrapped with Sherlock Holmes. He has received no less than seven cease and desist letters from the Conan Doyle estate, all of which he has so faded managed to rebuff by pointing out that that's literally his name.

(No he won't change his name. He's Sherlock Holmes the real live human person. Let Sherlock Holmes the non existent fictional character change his name.)

John is Sherlock's flatmate. Sherlock almost refused to live with him once he realised that it would mean staying with a medical student named John, and only gave in once John pointed out that: a) he's a biomedical student, which is completely different from an md, and b) his surname isn't Watson.

It's now been three years, which is long enough for them to have developed a genuine friendship, and for John to have a) started working towards his PhD in biotechnology, and b) for him to start dating somebody with the surname Watson.

Sherlock can feel the narrative closing in.

His Youtube channel is meant to be focused on lost media, fan theories and stuff like that, but he keeps accidentally stumbling upon and then solving genuine crimes.

His brother Mycroft may or may not have chosen that name after he transitions specifically to annoy him.

He doesn't even live in London, but somehow the only flat they could afford was on a street named fucking Baker Street.

Sherlock Holmes and the Unescapable Power of the Narrative.
