#welcome to the megadome

[megamindsecretlair]

I was wondering how you stay consistent with all the fics you be posting. Gurl give us the tea. You dropped like four back to back.

Lmfaooo, yall making me feel like im a fic addict 😭🤣🤣

See, what you do is meditate for 2 hours straight, praying on your muse to beam ideas and writing straight to your skull. Grab an acorn, a candle (your favorite scent), red twine, and a bottle of henny. And make a circle...lmfaooo jk jk.

TL;DR: my mind never shuts up 🫠 never turns off, never stops running, and that energy has to go somewhere, okay 😭

I wish I could take all the credit. I am the one writing it. But I have a close group of friends who let me vent out my ideas or give me ideas on how to improve. They listen to my nonsense, love yall so gd much 😗 @planetblaque @westside-rot @babybratzmaraj .

Other times, the ask is just so detailed, so rich, that it sparks some inspo and I get to writing. I am so in love with the creativity yall have on here. Completely blown away by these ideas you request!

It also helps that I went to film school and was taught how to think visually. You don't have to go to school for that, you just have to expand how you currently think about scenes.

Most times, as mentioned, my brain doesn't shut up. Even when I'm sleeping. There's this running commentary in my mind where I'm constantly turning over fics in my head. I think about scenes, I think about dialogue, I think about sex positions. Half the time, I'm scatterbrained irl because I'm too busy fucking in my head 🤣🤣

I write in my head, if that makes sense. I have these loose scenes in my head that I kind of play around with. I attack the scene from multiple angles trying to think of what sounds better.

Soo, when I sit down to write ive already done half the mental battle. I've already thought about the characters, the scenes, the motivations, the positions. It's just a matter of sitting down and writing it and it flows. I re-read my own writing all the time. But *way* after I've written it and moved on.

There's still moments where I have to pause and think about what comes next. Theres still times where I have to picture what tf is happening 🤣 or what's being said. Or what they're feeling at the moment.

Truth is, I just like to write. I've been writing since I was 11. It wasn't until I re-joined Tumblr at age 30 that I fell back in love with writing. I always loved it. But at a low point in my life, I felt hopeless that no one would ever want to read my writing. I thought I should've just quit altogether.

But by writing on here, I discovered that writing is for ME. If im having fun, then i know you will. I wont lie and say its not scary. I post overnight because I dont want the anxiety of seeing comments and reblogs trickle in 🤧 but the one rule I had for posting my writing, was to write for me. Write for the little girl who thought she couldnt. Write for the little weirdo who loves marvel and has anxiety and constantly feel like im being rejected. Thats who i write for. Thank God I didn't quit 😍🥹 I never would've met any of you. I never would've grown as a writer.

Being here with all of you, sharing my writing, seeing your reactions makes my fn day every day 😭 it's because of YOU that I felt confident enough to write a book.

I didn't get here by accident, I just write. And write often. And I read often. I learn from every single person that posts on here. I learn from all the feedback you give me.

My brain ought to do something useful since it doesn't know how to sit the fuck down 😩😩😩

Sorry this was long? Hope this helped? Feel free to ask more? Idkidk. Its still weird talking about myself. Thanks for this ask though 😗😗😗

SUAR you lovely whore! tell me abt have mercy!!

Lmfaooo, I cannot with you 🤣

Have Mercy was one of those fever dreams @planetblaque helped me come up with. She knows I can deny her nothing 😗

She had the idea for porn star Tyrone and yknow what......that shit made sense to meeee 😮‍💨

The title comes from Have Mercy by Chloe Bailey. I keep it on all day every day and idk, something about it just seemed to fit.

I had *too* much fun writing that one. I intended for it to be a little mini series, but ah well lmfaooo. We'll see if I can shake loose a part 2

Thank you for asking 😗

For the "ASK ME ANYTHING" game

If you could actually be the Reader in any of your fics. Which fic would it be?🥰

#inquiring minds

Oh this was HARD 😩😩😩😩

I always sprinkle myself all over these fics anyway. And most, if not all, are all wish fulfillment fics 🤣 self indulgent asf 😭

If I must choose 🥲 I'd have to say Wild for Terry Richmond. I would love to be bent in half by that fine ass man 🤣

I loved how actually wild it was. I loved the one time I went camping, I loved the sights, I loved "roughing it". And if I got some lovin' by that man, who am I to judge 😭

Thats HIS spot now 😩😩

Writing Tip #3

I'm so glad these are helping 🥹 since I can't write tonight, enjoy another tip.

Avoid "head hopping"

Your characters are actors on a set and it's your job to *show* what they're doing. Writing gives us the luxury of also exploring the character's innermost thoughts, which helps enrich the story!

But since they're actors, they are incapable of knowing what the other is thinking or feeling. Most people can guess what you're feeling because we've been taught social cues. Frown means sadness, smile means happiness.

But social cues does not equal knowing exactly what they're thinking! You can say, "He looked at you as if you hung the moon," but you can not say, "You looked into his eyes and knew you meant everything to him". Sorry, you can't *know* that unless he says it.

You can have so much fun playing with this. Think of the Key and Peele skit where they texted each other and got wildly different reactions.

Character A can feel the scene playing out one way only for Character B to blow up because they're on something else! Go nuts, show nuts.

Pick a point of view and stick to it. This may just be a personal pet peeve, but if you're writing from the perspective of Character A, the next paragraph cannot hop to Character B without some whiplash from the reader.

I'll use my fic "BedRock" to illustrate my point. I'm proud of this fic but there was definitely some nerves at play here. It was my first threesome fic and I definitely could've done a better job at separating out the POVs.

Fontaine bumped fists with his brother and then separated from the other hunter. Fontaine moved through the dancefloor, bobbing his head to the pounding hip hop music.

On the other side of the crowd, Tyrone moved through the crowd as well. He stopped and said hi to some high rollers, but his focus was on you. Poor, sweet, innocent thing, you had no idea that you were being hunted at the moment.

No idea that Fontaine could practically see the juicy blood running through your thick body. He’d bet you tasted like sunshine. Like paradise. Like a golden, warm sun that no longer welcomed him with open arms.

Even though I use some context clues like "on the other side of the crowd", it can still come off clunky. Because in the third paragraph, I jump right back to Fontaine's POV.

I was trying to go for the feeling that Fontaine and Tyrone were inseparable and hunted as one. It only works because of the familiarity I built into the beginning of the fic and into my series "Midnight Sin".

It is also why now I use more visual clues that we've switched perspectives. I will say who's POV it is or use a banner to separate it. You can also separate POVs by starting a new chapter. Show nuts, go nuts.

Avoiding the urge to head hop will strengthen your writing, provide an easier flow, and make your story active as opposed to passive.

Idk. I'm not an expert, but try it out and see if it works for you.
