fic writing thread!
notes on my writing....? not really, i keep mental notes about what i want to tweak or improve about my writing https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530378251055105
lighting! it’s pretty important for visual art, too, but lighting is the one thing i keep in mind most when trying to set the atmosphere. specific setting details aren’t v important, but the colour and slant of the light is! https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530379966525440
longer wips (that never get finished) are birthed from plot ideas. specific scenes usually stay confined to its natural length; the fic is over when the scene ends. https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530381698727944
idk tbh, but it would be lovely if someone would like to tell me what they think :000 i’ve barely begun to write for nctwayv tho so https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530383405809665
falling in love 
i am violently aromantic, which tbh doesn’t have THAT much to do with it, but i also probably have some issues about actively changing the status quo that i’ve yet to tackle hhh writing a progressing change in relationship status is eugh https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530385163264000

fluff! the sweet established kind! i love writing mornings and early afternoons best (the lighting is so beautiful then hhhh) https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530387298168832
hobby definitely qwq i’m not suited to professional writing—i’m quite slow, and the thought of longfic makes me want to bury myself in a soft bed of moss and deteriorate. i think i’m too unreliable for a career in writing; i hop between wips too much and never finish any of them https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530389332361223
not actively :0 i prefer to overanalyze myself in the darkness of my room rather than through fic, tho maybe that’ll change someday https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530391400189953
i don’t use visual references often, if at all—i have a vague idea of an image in my head and run with it. if i do use them, i’ll put them in that wip’s channel in my discord server https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530403341447168
so far, light horror! god that was so fun qwq i want to write moreee of it https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530410542956545
if i’m having trouble with a scene or just want to get some words down, i’ll write by hand. everything gets finalized and edited (and usually first written) on my laptop tho! https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530416238911488
i do super light edits right after i’ve posted but not much else (it’s part of the reason why i’m such a slow writer; i deliberate over every word that i type) OH THATS THE OVEN BEEPING! PUMPKIN BREAD!!! i’ll be right back https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530418159857664
ok back to this! god this pumpkin bread is heavenly tho
DEFINITELY scene goals! word goals are unreliable and i’m prone to not meeting it and then trying to squeeze out more words when the fic doesn’t actually need anything else. https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530429320892420
“write a little bit every day” i will claw your intestines out and feed them to the monster under your floorboards https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530433376747520
a mix!! i instinctually write long sentences, but it’s something that i’m trying to break out of a little qwq too many long ones and it makes reading + digesting it a bit hard imo https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313533636747186176
i’ve been listening to music while i write for a while, but recently i’ve found that i prefer silence. noise distracts me more, and drowns out my thoughts even when the volume thing is at 1 and the spotify volume slider is at half a bar hhh https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313533640563986432
i mostly wrote through sprints after i joined my lovely discord writing community, but i’m sooo slow and having to check back in every 15 minutes or so completely ruins my focus, ironically. getting lost in writing without having to be conscious of the time is just wonderful. https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313533649825017861
god no LMFAO i think i’d legitimately die if i pushed myself to do and complete nanowrimo. i’m not a longfic writer (yet, hopefully!) and november is a hella shitty month for me to try and write 50k(?) https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313533652840648704
hm. a little bit of my style, and also the characters i’m writing. i’ve been tunnel-visioned on bktd/bnha for ~2yrs, and learning these new characters has been interesting so far. some of them keep eluding me tho, so i’ll work hard to crack them open hehe https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313533655621480448
god no, i toss it into the void and don’t look at it again unless i’m revising it for zine apps or something LMAO https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313533664786079745
right now it’s definitely nctwayv!! they’ve dethroned my precious bktd, who i was loyal to for 2 entire years... i’ll return to them someday <3 https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313533667172651012
i’ve dipped my toes in haikyuu, but definitely more of that! bokuroo <333 i’ve been doing mostly zine writing for them so far hhh https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313533670565740546
i’m writing for my first one right now!! it’s nice being part of something, definitely, but i tend to think of a prompt that i want to write and self-prompt rather than wait for claiming ;;;;;;; https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313533673078169602
a good ending line. my friend has fucking STUNNING ending lines, and now i won’t finish a fic with a subpar ending line unless i’m on a time crunch (ahem zine check-ins...) https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313533676802772995
Sicheng has been hungry, and he is ready to eat his fill. https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313533692543991808

He was making a new hat.

i don’t remember anything i’ve ever written tbh hmm. they were rivals and then they were best friends and somewhere along the line, they fell in love. they’re each other’s brightest stars. they think the world of each other, and the world thinks of them too. https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313533703520432130
