Writing?

So, a lot of this is trash, but who cares. Supernatural, LOTR, Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, Harry Potter, and a number of other things. Just send a message or an ask if you want to talk, or have questions, or whatever! REQUESTS CLOSED.

as a fanfic writer, the best thing you can do for yourself is invest in the stories you want to read. don’t think about what will get popular, because it will make you miserable. write about what means the most to you. if you want to write pure smut, do it. if you want to make intricate worlds and complex characters, do it. write and write and write. contrary to popular belief, good art does not have to make you suffer. all my very best work is the stuff that i enjoyed writing

Some people on this website learnt the word “trope” and let it settle comfortably into the vocabulary space that should have been occupied by the word “cliché”.

“Trope” is a neutral word. If a particular trope is overused ad nauseam, it becomes a cliché. Saying you hate tropes does not make any sense.

“I hate recurring themes and motifs”

Well, good luck finding fictional content you can safely consume

From The White Cat and the Monk, by Jo Ellen Bogart and Sydney Smith. A retelling of a ninth-century poem written by an unnamed Irish Benedictine monk comparing his scholarly pursuits to the hunting activities of his cat, Pangur Bán. 

“In Irish, the word bán means white. Pangur has been said to refer to the word fuller, a person who fluffed and whitened cloth. We might think, then, that Pangur Bán was a cat with brilliantly white fur.” - Jo Ellen Bogart

I love Mando's vibe. Imagine some guy rolling up to your shop in a beat up honda civic. He steps out wearing an armani suit. He opens his wallet and offers you two dollars to fix his car.

He has a baby wearing a chihuahua costume in an extremely elaborate car seat in the back seat. The baby smiles at you with an uncanny full set of teeth. Suddenly someone you have never seen before runs up and tries to kidnap the baby. The man in the Armani suit shoots him with an AK47 which he carries on his person at all times. He then calmly turns back to you and offers 3 dollars to fix his car.
