sometimes you’re hit with a friendly realization that yes, life is good. you have your comfort characters and you have archive of our own. life is actually beautiful
reasons to write fanfiction (I'll start):
share a cool scene that popped into your head
evoke a particular emotion the canon makes you feel
song made you think of a character or idea from canon
make people feel the same way about a character you do
make dolls kiss for fun
explore ideas the canon hints at but doesn't do anything with
traumatize characters and make them suffer
coddle characters and let them rest
had an insane idea for a crack ship and now everyone needs to know
the author of the canon was wrong and must be fixed
use familiar characters to explore your own ideas and plotlines
canon is too short and you need to wallow in the universe of the story
Thank you for your aid!
There should be a fanfic writing game called the showrunners challenge where someone writes a story and partway through someone else can play things like "actor leaves after 4000 more words" or "topic now too politically sensitive due to unforeseen world events" or "lost rights to that reference"
Do you have any tips on how to improve your writing in your target language ? I've been learning English for four years and I still write like a five year old
Here's some ideas:
If you struggle with forming sentences, you could start by simply copying texts in your target language, e.g. news articles, quotes, lyrics, and so on. That way you'll get used to the rhythm of the language and how the sentence structure looks
If you don't know what to write about, maybe you could write daily diary entries. Or short summaries of your favourite books or films. Or you could make a special tumblr blog dedicated to posts about something you're passionate about, e.g. describing comic books, writing fan fics in your target language, translating memes into your target language, etc.
Maybe you can try the app Slowly. It's an app where you can find penpals around the world who speak your target language or are also learning that language. Find someone, send them a nice letter, and then you can practice together
The most important thing is that you practice regularly, so finding nice people to talk to or finding a topic you're passionate about and love writing about would probably be the best tips i have
I hope this helps a bit!
forced to say “it’s ok” instead of throwing a chair at them
I laugh every single time I see someone saying that Selena is Dorothea. Like, did you even listen to the song?
This is so funny to me because Selena is not Dorothea nor is Taylor Miss Americana
Dorothea:
Same muse from 'Tis The Damn Season in which Taylor and Dorothea are regarded as an "old flame" aka former lovers according to Taylor's own words in the Evermore prologue
Miss Americana:
It's YOU and ME there's nothing like this, MISS AMERICANA and the HEARTBREAK PRINCE (basic grammar structure)
Both are Karlie Kloss btw. I know, a model selling makeup and magazines by being the face of the brands/covers is a very ground breaking correlation.
“they’re queerbait this, they’re not canon that” they’re whatever i want them to be on ao3 actually
