#snyder structure

[wackus-bonkus-maximus]

Wow😳…… your admission to similar gripes as I have actually does wonders to alleviate my apprehension. Not that I didn’t trust you to be careful with it before but this is certainly reassuring lol

I haven’t thought about the exploratory/conciliatory mode of fic writing in explicitly those terms but it can certainly be an engaging exercise. Now that I think of it my post s5 chloe wip kind of falls in that realm🤔 and true, the goals of fanfic writing vs original fiction writing can be similar or entirely different.

Might it be unwise to start reading tonight? Maybe I’ll have chapter 1 with breakfast. Cheers🎸

lol it's funny you say that! odnlb was practice for writing an original fiction story. (in a way, all my fanfics have been.) i had the idea for the main characters' emotional need, their Truth and Lie, and how they could change from beginning to end. it was that that made the fic pop wholly-formed into my head, i think. and at that point i just couldn't resist not writing it. but tbh, it's been such a fun ride to get into the rhythm of using save the cat structure. the fact that i wrote it around senti-adrien just kinda helped increase the stakes.

cheers to you too dude 🎸 happy reading if you decide to go for it!

You mad man, you evil master mind, you fucking genius

Im hooked, tethered, tied to this fic. Chp 43 exploded my brain, changed my view point. Maybe I’ve binged watched too much Jane the Virgin but this has stakes and drama to rival it. It is so cinematic, you have to get into writing for movies because they will eat this up!

The influence of mthyo’s, how this is all doomed to repeat. Tales of woe will tell themselves over and over again. I’m screaming.

Just had to say I loved this! Your work constantly astounds

aahhh thank you!! 🥺❤️🙏🏼 hugging you and crying right now, i really really appreciate that!

i watched jane the virgin too lolo (rec if you haven't seen it), and you're right their use of stakes and drama is a bit too good. i'm so glad you liked how i utilize those narrative tools in my fic! and funnily enough, i DO study screenwriting (study meaning watch youtube videos about it and read save the cat! articles)! the story arc formats from screenplays can kinda translate over to novels if you tweak them, which is how i've been writing odnlb lol. this IS an experimental fic to see if i can adapt the snyder structure well. good to know it's working ❤️

oh i just love greek tragedies and circular storytelling. it's a joy to put them in my fics! even more of a joy to know you were touched by it.

thank you so much for the compliments! i do hope you enjoy the rest!
