Hi Comet!
I'm taking a few weeks of vacation at the moment, and I have set a daily goal of reading at least 50 pages of a physical book to broaden my horizons instead of only reading fanfiction.
I'm currently reading a speculative fiction book from 1999, written by a male author, and it's made me feel so much better about my own writing and plots. The objectification of women makes me want to roll my eyes, and including how attractive they are when introducing them but not distinguishing how attractive male characters are is so frustrating that I am being powered by spite to dare to do better. The casual misogynism of that time combimed with how terrible men can be when thinking about women as just objects of their desire without their own inner lives and wants is a great inspiration for a new forever fic that I'm writing.
Before that I read a Terry Pratchett book and the difference between the speculative fiction one and the Pratchett book is like night and day. A Pratchett requires a lot of general knowledge that I feel like I lack as a non-native English speaker, but I've understood some of the jokes so at least that's something!
Do you have any book recommendations or authors you can recommend whose writing style inspires you?
-Ghoulette Anon
HI! Congratulations on your vacation! That's exciting. I hope you get to relax. And I hope you read some really good books. I love when I read a book that makes me go "oh god I can write better than this" or "I treat women better than this" or any of those things--like you're experiencing with that book. It feels weirdly powerful (and also annoying, like come on, man. Women are people, write them like they are). I'm so glad it's giving you inspiration for your forever fic, that's really fun. I've never actually read Prachett (I know! I know!). I'm not even really sure why. I just haven't ever picked one up. I hear he's wonderful. But I do know enough about his style to totally get why he's tougher for non-native English speakers. I ABSOLUTELY have recommendations. I'm a book monster. Recs under the cut to save space <3 <3.
Leigh Bardugo - Both YA and Adult. Dark Fantasy. Dark Academia. Gritty. Dark. Realistic despite everything being fantastical. INCREDIBLE characterizations. I am in love with every character she's ever created. The Grisha Trilogy has one of my favorite endings of any book series ever.
Neil Gaiman - On the off chance that you haven't already read him, you really really should. American Gods is an incredible book. And the Ocean at the End of the Lane changed my life. Taylor Jenkins Reid - Lots of hype around her that is very deserved. I couldn't put down The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and Malibu Rising was also just real real good. Madeline Miller- again, there's lots of hype for Song of Achilles with good reason. Fucking heart wrenching and incredible. And Circe is even better (I'm in the minority on this opinion but we like stories about women fucking men up in this house, so...yes). Just gorgeous, gorgeous books. And two YA Recs, because YA is not just for teeennss. Sabaa Tahir- has a fucking incredible fantasy series (The Ember in the Ashe). And her stand alone All My Rage is justjkhasf;asfa. Sabaa knows how to make me cry--which is not a thing I do a lot. Ruta Sepetys - Specifically Salt To The Sea. All of her books are good. Salt to Sea is one of the very few books I've read multiple times. Very character driven. Based in WWII. Doesn't even think about shying away from really rough shit. Just...I love it so much. Talking about it makes me want to read it again.

An Artist & A Hopeless Romantic
Pairing: Neil Perry x reader
Summary: Neil is trying to find a particular book for a research paper but suddenly encounters someone more interesting.
Neil was always an obedient kid. He never fought with his parents and was described as an ideal pupil by his mentors.
So why was he feeling like he did something wrong?
He was graded a C for one of his papers in his Literature class. The teacher said that he was being "too analytical" in his thesis statement and gave the young Perry boy a chance to resubmit his work in two weeks' time.
Neil thought the best way to change his style of writing was at a change of location to help him with his research, a public library.
Sure, his private school held books (that may be older than his great grandfather) but he was searching for a new perspective on what he could write about.
Or rather, he was wanting something new in his provincial life.
He then walks into the building, being greeted by the smell of dusty books and a lingering scent of cigarettes. He turns to see someone facing opposite the information desk, placing stacks of books into a cart.
"Excuse me, I was wondering if you could help m-"
For once, the young, dashing boy is at a loss of words as he met such a creature that graced his very eyes.
"Hi." you said politely, flashing a blinding smile that twinkled like pearls in the sparkling sea.
"Hi..." Neil replies back, lifting his lips into a smirk.
"How may I help you?" You ask, but Neil is far too starstruck at the moment. He then coughs as he tries to collect his senses.
"Sorry, I'm trying to find some books on romanticism in the 19th century." You think for a bit and your eyes light up like a light bulb.
"You're in luck, I just placed a few of them on the shelves. Follow me." You said, walking through the aisles of the library.
Neil hurries his steps as he was hot on your trail.
"You know, I'd never expect your type to come to the community library." You said, referring to his uniform that he was still wearing.
Neil laughs politely. "Yeah, I just thought I could find something different for a paper I'm rewriting." He quips as you were faster than expected.
You then turn to one of the narrow aisles and stop to the shelf you just restocked.
"Here. These should help with your paper." You said, giving him a stack of books. He takes them as quick as he could as he could sense you were rushing. Unfortunately, a book falls out of his grip so he bends down to get it. What he didn't realize was that you bent down as well and you two bumped your heads, making you sit on the floor.
As both of you collected your senses, you laugh out loud until a random person shushed you two.
"I'm really sorry. I'm eager to clock out because I'm prepping for an audition this week." You said, already grabbing the book for Neil.
"I'm sorry for keeping your time. I totally understand." Neil empathizes as he gets up along with you. You then realize that you're both in close proximity with each other.
"So... you perform too?" you ask, breaking the ice. Neil tilts his head, trying hard not to get lost in your smile.
"No, actually. I never even set foot on a stage before, unless it was for a Christmas play when I was 5." You snicker from his statement.
"With a handsome face like that? I'm surprised a director hasn't typecasted you as those princes." you joke, until you covered your mouth.
"I'm sorry, I don't really think when I talk." You sheepishly said.
"No, no it's ok. I'm flattered actually." Neil said, wanting to ease your embarrassment.
You smile back at him as you both made your way to the front so you could help him check out the books.
"So, we have a seven day policy. If you're unable to return back the book, you will be fined $5 a day till you return it. If you're still wanting to keep using the book, just come back on the day before you submit it so you could check it out again. I just need your name and phone number to keep record." You said, writing on the library record list.
"My name's Neil, Neil Perry. I don't have a phone, but I could give you my school's contact number?" He says.
You shrug. "Hey, a phone number is a phone number." You said, as you jot down the numbers Neil said to you.
Neil curiously looks at the names of people who checked out one of the books, seeing a name that checked it out three times before him.
"Hm, this person must really like this book." He says out loud.
You peer at it, blushing lightly. "That's actually me..." Neil looks up at you, surprised.
"An artist and a hopeless romantic... it suits you." You blush more from his comment as you finalized the paperwork.
"All done! I hope to see you in six to seven days." You said, smiling at him. Neil takes the book from the desk and places them in his back pack.
Before he leaves, he turns to you again.
"Hey, I was wondering what show you're auditioning for." Neil asks you.
"It's Midsummer Night's Dream, why?" you respond.
"I've been wanting to do some extracurricular activities after school and you really sparked my interest to audition." He says brightly.
"Really? Well, why don't you join me this week? Here, let me give you the time and place for the audition." You said, finding a small note card and scribbling the information. You give it to Neil who radiated such brightness.
"I guess I'll see you soon." He said, looking at you.
"Yeah, I'll see you later." You said, biting your bottom lip.
He leaves a bit awkwardly and waives goodbye as you do the same.
Neil walks out of the library, more sure of himself and who he wants to become.
All because of a girl who took his heart.

Jinger babe! I鈥檓 loving your new in-progress andreil works. unfortunately for us readers you鈥檙e only one author. so I was wondering if you have any new andriel works you wanna share with us desperates?
Hello lovely anon, I hope I'm understanding your question correctly in that you're wondering about anything I'm working on instead of fic recs? Both of which I'm more than happy to give!
In regards to what I'm currently working on, I have a couple of WIPs I'm bouncing between! If you want you can check out my most recent work I'd Never Want to Complicate Your Heart, a Heartstopper AU that was both a gift and 100% self-indulgent. I also have my fake-engagement AU You've Begun to Feel Like Home that I had planned to update weekly but had to take a quick break from to look at other projects. I'm planning on returning to the regular updating schedule this upcoming week! And I also have my incomplete work I Have a Prom-Posal that is my longest running incomplete work that I swear I'm going to finish soon just trust me.
Other upcoming works I have include my 2022 Big Bang fic that will be released sometime this August when posting starts, so keep an eye out then! I really want to write something for mermay, but have been having so much trouble trying to think of something for it ;-; I'm thinking something with Mer-Andrew and Neil who is some sort of half-breed that can be human or a mer, but he's never gone in the ocean before because of...reasons. And then he ends up stranded in the ocean and Mer-Andrew has to teach him how life under the sea works or something.
If you want to see a list of other WIPs I have, you can check this out! You're more than welcome to ask about anything in particular, I even have some snidbits I'd love to share.
I also have an original story I'd always love to talk about if you're interested! And if I completely misunderstood this question and you'd like some fic recs, I have a lot I'd love to rec to you guys, just send me another ask! Thank you so much for your support lovely!

Unexpected........soft but not
------------------------------------
Type:Fluffy
Pairing:Vince脳Reader
------------------------------------
You love motley crue, you always get tickets to shows and go to whiskey a go go and clubs, vinces voice was so mesmerising, you loved it.
Although one night your grandmother stumbled upon a book of yours, of course it had to be your old diary just from a couple years back when you and your prime time of obsession with Motley Crue, you still are but this one was in depth about Vince and your love for him, you know your grandma also likes Motley Crue so as a birthday gift because as it was coming up soon, about a month or so but she decided to buy you backstage passes to a Motley Crue show.
You obviously had no idea about it which wasn't a bad thing also wasn't exactly a good thing the reason happened to be unexpected but it surely happened, skip to last night well you had a couple drinks the rainbow Bar and Grill it was pretty nice you were getting a bit more Tipsy then you planned but you could still see just a bit blurry, a guy with white blonde sort of bushy hair walked up to you introduce himself is Vince, you weren't drinking a bit more now getting a bit more Tipsy things a bit harder to remember or kind of getting blurrier.
You played it off like he was just some guy trying to get your number that you didn't want to go home with, but you didn't want your grandma to see you come home drunk it kind of out of your mind last time that happened you messed up big-time and almost burned the house down but let's not talk about that, back to what was really happening at the bar. " hey I'm Vince nice to meet you how do you do?", looking over from your drink, you " hi I'm doing just fine".
" no-name huh, looks like you're hard to get but me being the guy am I'm pretty sure I don't need to do much explaining do I?".
Still pretty drunk unable to recognize who the hell you're talking to you're blurred out these words a bit loudly " what the hell do you mean, I have never met you in my entire life what makes you think I want to go home with you".
" well then I guess I'll have to try harder" a smug smile exhibited his face " you heard the song Kickstart My Heart?", " fuck yea, who the hell hasn't".
" does the name Vince ring a bell?" He was clearly hinting, still he the hell do you not notice your idol, love of your life? " nah, I don't think so if you say you're trying hard you're not doing too good buddy" you said sipping your iced Martin, Vince clearly cringed at the fact that you called him "Buddy".
" without you in my life I'd slowly Wilt and die but with you by my side you're the reason I'm alive" Vince sung.
Your eyes and now just realizing exactly who you're talking to you yell these three words "HOLY FUCKING SHIT" Vince's smug face happily and easily turned into a smile that you finally noticed who the fuck you're talking to.
" well now that you know, I'm pretty sure you came here alone for number one and number two you're drunk out your mind if you didn't notice me number three you can't drive a car right now so I could take you home unless you don't want anyone to see this crazy drunk but your choice just offering" vince said in a manner knowing he scored .
" oh my God, you Vince Neil. Just ask me. Some random crazy ass girl. To go home with you!?!?!?!"
" what do you fucking think?" He smirked.
" well he'll fucking yeah, Nikki Tommy and Mick with you?" Hooing fir a yes and a no at the same time
" not tonight, that's weird but not tonight".
After reading go home with him to the apartment you thought it was just going to be a quick hookup and then you leave which you didn't mind cuz it's Vince fucking Neil but at the same time you wish it was more because it's not just I want to have sex with him you want to fall in love it's clearly you know will never happen which is the sad part and makes you want to crumble up into a ball and die but fear not I guess you never know Vince is surprising but at the same time groupies is his ultimate favorite, just like a princess who needs a prince but this is not the way it goes cuz we know how the story goes.
When Vince finally parked at the apartment you weren't dazzled it definitely wasn't as nice as your house for a heavy metal star but it was nice enough they were still kind of struggling and didn't feel like buying a new place plus it's OG Motley house the band grew up here, after walking up the rickety stairs you walked in, the smell of alcohol cigarettes and small burn marks on the carpet made Vince want to clean for once in his life.
He told you to wait on the couch just walked into his room you had no fucking idea what he was doing he told you to wait on the couch if he walked into his room you add note walking idea what you was doing but you said couch he told you to wait on the couch if he walked into his room you add note walking idea what you was doing but you said couch waited he told you to wait on the couch if he walked into his room you add note walking idea what you was doing but you waiting on the couch.
Vince walked out with a robe, expecting him to take it off you're a bit preppy, because secretly no one really knows but you're a virgin you don't like saying it makes you sound so basic you don't know how but it just does you don't want to ruin the moment.
" follow me" Vince culling his finger with a smirk you got up at demand you don't know why but it was very attractive even though people found it a bit rude specially to treat a woman like that who gave a damn is Vince goddamn Neil he was hot and you already there you can't do anything about it anyway so, getting up from the couch he followed him slowly into his room, he shares a room with Tommy they both have one side of the room which is split by sheet hung up from the ceiling pinned up by Staples, you walk past the sheets and sea candles aligned around the bed just for some decoration.
You expecting them to immediately push you onto the bed instead he told you to lay down your stomach flat on the bed, you removed your shirt without him even asking you to do so , now faced down on your stomach on the bed Vince crabs some essential oils and put it onto your back it was warm he started to massage your back they give you hickeys on your neck the trails of kisses behind your ear and tight friction oh, he has no shirt but he's wearing a sort of Speedo type underwear that's pretty tight but also flexible.
" you know I know you, you're always in the front row at every show in this town, you're always on some fan page about Motley Crue mostly me though oh, why is that?" Vince sais calmly.
" I've always love Motley Crue, but the first time I saw a picture of you I literally died at the site love your rocking body".
" I'm going to take this slow, I'm not going to give you what you want you're not a groupie you got some girl just looking for a quick hookup, your girl looking for something more, I don't get that alot, so we're going to take things not my way not your way just away from what you expected, maybe next time" he said in a rough scrappy hot voice while massaging your back.
" I'm perfectly fine with that, you know I really do enjoy this more than just a quick hookup" you say fully satisfied with the feeling of vinces hands and the oil rubbing on your back.
After you were fully satisfied what's the massage he lied beside you shirtless, after a quick breath of relief you sit up on the head of the bed propped up on a pillow half under the covers, Vince blows out the candles.
Vince doesn't know exactly what to do neither do you you both are really know what exactly taking it slow is but first step is already done but you don't know what to do afterwards so you just sitting in bed both silent trying to figure out what to talk about what to do and how to do it wow still going slow.
" do you want to spoon?" You say offering to be the small spoon, " already a step ahead of you guess you just said it first" Vince said wrapping his arma around you.
" I know we just met feels like I've known you for a while I'm not sure why this just feels right if this is what love feels like I'm in for a long happy ride".
Those words melted your heart, he kissed you play with your hair left hickeys almost everywhere but not below your waist because as you both agreed you were going slow but you wondered how long you were going to keep it slow because to be honest you were a bit impatient cuz I mean you've had a crush on Vince for so long not that it's an issue that you got a massage from him get to come to his apartment and snuggle and Spoon but still you didn't want to keep it slow for too long.
" I think well.... I sound crazy I know I do but... I think I love you" Vince forced himself to blurt.
" I've always wanted to hear that but that's only because I had a crush on you for how you looked, got even more now you sound nowhere near crazy to me...... I think I love you too"
" man me and you so crazy ass motherfuckers, I guess taking it slow as the right way finally met someone that I can connect with been a while since that".
" it's funny, you were never this emotional whenever I saw you in interviews and such wow it's truly a soft guy"
" well you'd be surprised, I truly am soft guy it's hard to admit although I am pretty rough around the edges I am soft guy a little bit on the inside"
" well it was very unexpected, I thought you just wanted a quickie I was wrong we're taking it slow I guess I don't mind as much but I'm still a little bit impatient to be honest"
" I think when I said taking it slow I didn't mean we had to wait days he'll it could have been 15 minutes I wouldn't mind" vince smirked moving his hand up your thigh still while spooning you.
" well then I guess tonight have some more unexpected territories to explore I say you've done enough of the slow what do you say?"
" what do you fucking think?'
" still unexpected hot soft but not"
