#writer complaints

[wheresurmoose]

They should invent a room where I have to write a certain amount of words every day (on my fanfics, book I’m working on, poems, etc) and I’m not allowed out of the room until I’ve done that certain amount each day.

Also I get paid a livable wage for it.

Also I have a person there to give me feedback anytime I ask.

Also I have a person there to correct all my typos.

Obyron, Orikan, Oltyx

Ogdobekh, Ogdovakh

Zahndrekh, Zultanekh

I wanna strangle everyone responsible for necron names. I really do. Writing scenes with these people in the same room is hell.

How many fucking dicks do I gotta suck to get people reading again?

Mm. The inspiration struck and it struck for Silverusso instead of what I was actually trying to write for

the approaching dread of having to follow the stations of the canon again . . .

(for context, genderbent tid is the one that ad-libs the most away from canon so far and now i've got to stick close to How This Scene Went In Canon for a little bit again and it's driving me up the wall)

I’m used to grammar and punctuation errors in fics, I’m used to no paragraph breaks and unified dialogue, but I’ve been seeing something else more and more recently. I don’t know where in the world this comes from (maybe typing endlessly in texts and posts like now?) but people keep doing this thing where they only put a period at the end of a paragraph and their commas are put like periods, but only half the time is any punctuation actually used. ?????????

this is incredibly annoying but I guess it’s tolerable? Still where is this coming from???

Ok I lied I have art that was too fun not to share

Listen- I need combative “I hate you bro but I would also die for you” platonic cumplane

I need Shang Quinghua calling Shen Quingqui a hussy and a harlot

I need Shen Quingqui to respond with a full bodied cathartic “bitch” I need them to be venting out frustrations every 2 seconds and ruthlessly gossiping the next. I need them to immediately turn on anyone that talks shit on the other.

Pls for my health.

unpopular opinion but no fan artist or fan writer should have to "apologise" for their absence or "delay" in updates; and nobody should ask them for explanations if they simply stop publishing their content one random morning. for whatever reason

we all love our gagged whumpees, but the way im automatically won over is when the tiny process of whumpee being gagged is described in very careful detail.

pushing the tangled hair out of their face so you can slide the straps under it. maybe it's coated with sweat.

if whumpee is defiant, i love seeing how they toss their head back and how you have to force their mouth open. maybe they bite a few times? very annoying for whumper. but shoving their head back towards you, gripping onto their hair and telling them to cut that shit out...ooh, that's fun.

obedient whumpees are just as fun because they'll just open up for whumper. stick that pretty tongue out and remain still as you clip it behind their head. maybe you can even stroke their hair a little. throw in a 'good boy/girl' for good measure 🙏🙏🙏

then theres the look!! i wanna know what they eyes are doing!! are they glaring straight ahead to avoid looking at whumper, or shooting daggers at them anyway? do they stare at the ground? or is it all listless if they've done this many times before?

and when you're done... i wanna know the result. what kind of gag is it (personally im a sucker for open-mouth) and how does it make em look? are they drooling already? what does whumper have to say about this?

i dont care how unnecessarily long you think you made your gagging scene, we're whump writers we're all here to indulge!! give your whumpee's mouths some love 🫶🫶

i love once upon a time and how they blew all their budget on casting and costumes and left absolutely none for the cgi 😌

We really went through the whole writers strike and learned nothing. We got told that issues with writing and seasons are often because of producers but writers bear the brunt of online hate. HOTD had two episodes cut AND was in production during the writers strike and I’ve seen only one person acknowledge that it definitely impacted aspects of the show whereas everyone else assumes that Condal And Hess and the team just is stupid and untalented. C’mon guys.

I didn’t obsessively devour new words and read above my grade in my youth to be told I shouldn’t use uncommon or “fancy” words in my writing. Use context clues or google it.

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.

two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

I say this in the kindest way possible, but I think this style of prose is more appropriate for a personal account rather than an update account. I have no idea who's being talked about half the time. 🥲

my toxic trait as a writer is that I feel guilty when I'm not writing / when I haven't written anything in days and when I'm about to start writing again, I feel too guilty to resume my writing, so I end up not writing, and I feel more guilty for not writing.

[navree]

i'm sorry hbo allowed this writing team to plan out a ten episode season until a MONTH before shooting when they cut it down to eight????? and then kept production going when the writer's strike started like two weeks after and kept up for the entirety of the filming schedule??????? i said that filming during the writer's strike was the death knell of this season but oh my god i did not expect to be this fucking right
