#outlining!

[the-writing-mobster]

what's ur process for writing fics?

GALAXY! Thank you for the ask dear heart! 💖🫶🏻

My writing process is one of rigorous self discipline that I would require no one else to subject themselves to!

I have four "Outlining" stages.

1.) Concept Stage

2.) Character Arcs

3.) Synopsis Stage

4.) Chapter Outline.

I'm not going to go super into detail, but the way I start every writing project, which I believe is def the most important thing to know for everyone who loves writing and growing their skill is the Concept stage.

It follows this very simple structure;

[Sympathetic character] must reach a goal [believability] because if not they will lose something vital [high stakes], but what they don’t know is [twist].

The concept WILL contain spoilers because it's mostly for yourself and helps you already know how the story will end and how you need to get to said end. I'll show an example but it will be leaving out the *twist* which is where most of the spoilers are.

This is how all my stories start off, and I simply build up from there!

Also, for fics specifically, I always Write In Advance. That is the only way I can keep myself from burning out, esp bc sometimes interaction can be a little low and it helps when I have a backlog. Usually I'll write at least 20 chapters in advance and then start publishing it to Ao3.

~~~

Hopefully this inspires anyone trying to write their own story and gives them a good jumping off point

Happy writing! 🫶🏻💖🤍

P.S... I've started doing a new thing where I've made a bullet point list of very important symbols and motifs I will need to sprinkle throughout my stories.

In my upcoming Serial Killer story... The curtains... Are not JUST blue...

That's all I will say however,,, about that.

ARTISTS FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸 - ROUND 3!! On the 26th April and 3rd of May, I'll be doing art requests on stream with other notable artists to raise money for Palestinian escape funds.

This round's roster is very lucky to include returning artists including webcomic artist Graveweaver (I'm The Grim Reaper), @wolfythewitch, Cuptoast, Denimcatfish and more.

If you won't be able to make it to the streams but would still like to donate money, you can find a spreadsheet with hundreds of escape funds listed here. Alternatively, you could donate to one of three funds that I am focusing a lot of my efforts on.

Donate to Anwar's family (€8,000 from escaping) Donate to Thaer’s fund (€7,000 from escaping) Donate to Salwa Al-Shandagha ($9,000 from escaping)

As always, these fundraiser streams will always be available to watch over on my twitch channel here. Hope to see some of you there!

Loving Threats

Inspired by a song and its remake. But I am trash at syncing lyrics to storybeats.

Danny and Jason met in the ghost zone when Jason was dead, but he forgot it all coming back to life. When the two of them were together, they went through the entire song and dance (literally) of asking each other out.

I'm serious. There were like 10 different musical scenes with varying themes. It was Fenton Romance at its finest. And Jason's old school romance heart was certainly played a large part too.

It was their love language. Dramatic acts, vague threats and all.

Post revival and reconnection with the Batfam, Jason spots a familiar face. A flood of memories wash through him, and with it a bout of giddiness. Though he's currently dressed as Red Hood, Danny'll be able to tell who he is and keep quiet. Just have to greet him in a way that he'll recognize.

---

Danny is out taking the kids for a walk. Dan was grumpy since he wasn't allowed any ecto chips, for both his health and as punishment for severely beating a guy who tried to mug Danny without permission yesterday. Ellie is quite cheerful, since she's going to visit the Crocodile and Zombie sewer-dudes when Danny's not looking.

All of a sudden, Red Hood, casually wielding a gun, approaches Danny. He makes an overly familiar gesture, wrapping an arm sideways around Danny's waist. He whistles under the hood, a faint green glow from the white eyespaces.

"Well who do we have here? You look half dead, honey."

Danny looked at him. Horrible pick up line? Check? Thin veneer of confidence? Check. Zero self control around Danny? Check.

Jason. The rancid ecto signature is new, though. Honestly, not surprised he's a crime lord now.

"Well, you know how it is. The kids have been running me ragged. And you sure haven't been any help."

Danny puts on an innocent smile. Jason sidles closer. A few bystanders watch them with varied expressions.

"Well you don't need to worry about that now. How about you and I go somewhere more private?"

---

"A crime boss, huh?"

Dan is raiding the fridge. Ellie is watching a fight on TV.

"It was a... necessary step. I promise I would've visited you sooner if I had known."

"It's fine. What else happened while you were gone?"

"Well..."

The problem about having brainrot for your own fic is that I want to talk about it constantly but I don’t want to spoil anything but I want to talk about motives and characters and just the events but I want to preserve mystery and suspense

Louis: What about a selection of Fred Stein's, tastefully framed? [...] Or better not have such a tangible a reminder of Paris up on our walls? Armand: An interview about Paris is a more tangible reminder of Paris than a few photographs.

TEN GAZILLION PONY ATTACK!!!!! this is a part 2 of my subtle animation-friendly redesigns!!! I only made changes that could have happened in the show. hair gradients can be seen in cadence, and white markings on sunburst, for example.

feel free to ask me questions about the design choices!! (just mentioning: I love the CMC's actual cutie marks, just wanted to try designing individual ones this time around!) Part 1 with the mane 6!

This joke came to me in a fit of laughter (ALT description provided :3!)

Haven´t watched the Wish movie, but somehow I came across some early concepts and premise of the movie and I can´t believe Disney just threw them away. They threw away shapeshifting twinkly star boy!
