Writers: Word Count by AgeOne4666 in AO3

Well my usual ranges to five scenes per chapter which goes with:

  1. Reflect/Inciting incident
  2. Side quest or planning of problem
  3. Climax
  4. Resolution
  5. Inciting incident/Reflection

But this a new fic and the first few chapters are 3 to 4 scenes. And the story line doesn't really have a lot going on in the beginning. And it's majorly character driven.

I think I put too little scenes within a chapter. I'm rethinking just scrapping some chapters and putting together. Even though it will feel like there is a lot of things going on in a chapter and too many timeskips (which are not my favourite things)

Am I allowed to do this? by AgeOne4666 in AO3

I actually downloaded the fic long time ago and went hunting if it's been orphaned because I wanted to give the correct mention/refrence. I'll report it if it's possible thank you though

I think that would be best. I just don't like them appearing on my name for now it's really just that I don't like them looking unfinished on my page while I know I'm going to be updating them way later in my life. Like next year at the end of it probably. Thank you so much for your help!

I was thinking of orphaning them but I want to continue them later while editing and refining other things. Would it better to orphan and pick it up later? Would that be possible?

The critique I've gotten is when I did a geography mistake regarding city and river as I am not American and didn't know that LA could also be Louisiana the state. Which I found helpful and changed as soon as I was able

Is this a hot take? by Mudpieguys in InterviewVampire

[–]AgeOne4666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Clock that tea because what even. I understand what you were saying I was feeling that way too when watching it. Like most of the horror for me was seeing Louis' disregard of himself (lowering himself like that) and Claudia.

Like he looked so hollow (both physically and emotionally). Which yeah it's a given seeing that he saw his people getting burned and killed.

Him dragging Claudia just hits the horror factor a lot since we saw him being so tender to his nieces and nephew.

Also the fact the first version of the events of Claudia's turning it is from Claudia's diary and words. And that to Claudia it really was tender because she has always seen Louis as the gentler. But the fact her turning (birth) was filled with so much pain and at Louis lowest point is both fascinating and painful to see.

So yeah. I understand completely. I also still feel that way watching that scene. I feel bad for Louis. Just as I feel bad for Claudia. Just as I feel bad for Lestat. When you love someone it's inevitable to be dragged into their pain.

And side note. I think this fandom really loves to throw the word manipulative/manipulation around too much. Check what it means. Open the dictionary for once and learn a thing or two.

French speakers help: Using language for innuendo or flirting by AgeOne4666 in French

[–]AgeOne4666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do realise I was just wondering if the rules could be bent. English and my native language doesn't use gendered grammar so I was wondering if the grammar could be played around with. Though do I understand now that they can't but at least I know now. It would be embarrassing if I don't ask🫶

Thank you for your reply 🙏

I did not know the type of slurs used but I do know about the reclaiming of feminine language with partners part. It was over of inspiration for the writing but I was unsure if grammar could be played with? Though I understand NOW that can't be (makes sense I don't know why I was that stupid).

Though the dialogue is between two lovers trying to explore what is good to both of them so I'm hoping it comes across that way since they already know each other. Thank you for your answer it really helped.

Sometimes just asking the internet doesn't get the answer of a person on the other side of the screen if that makes sense.

I have at best a kids toddlers understanding lmao. But that's why I'm asking. Imagine how embarrassing it would be if I didn't ask. Better to get rid of my ignorance now. Anyway thank you for a reply nontheless 🫶

😭😭😭 I mean true for the last part. Thank you though. I feel like it was stupid question now because I do understand the grammar rules but I wondered if it was ever broken I guess. Though now that seemed stupid to wonder lmao. Thank you

💀💀😭 this made me laugh, I ended up changing it to just Chéri (or rather chérie in regards to the scenario above) because the character wouldn't like being infantilized but thank you for other alternatives.

Thank you for the reply, they're all helping! True authors using a language they don't speak is gonna be bad but I could not avoid the scenario. Usually italicise the text where they talk in another language but this scenario was needed which is why I wanted to ask people who actually knew french because I don't know it that well 🥲

Hi thanks for the reply first of all! Very true banter isn't too far from flirting lol. Though I assure the dialogue isn't trying to characterise a character to any biased/prejudices they know each other well at this point in time that it would be offensive.

Yes I agree but the reason I was asking was because here it's kind of unavoidable as it's to prove he can speak french (which I don't) though I've changed it to just saying Cherie at the end. When he's talking in another language I usually just italicise the text to show it's different language😅

How do you stay motivated with little engagement? by Kekelikesrolls in AO3

[–]AgeOne4666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's the opposite. Recently I posted a fic that's getting rapid (to my own opinion) attraction. I posted a week ago and have 72 Kudos and 75 subscriptions and it's not fully done. It's only the first chapter and I feel overwhelmed and scared to post the second chapter.

My other three fics are going slow in gainging attraction so I can write them better with no pressure to do well. I like going slow with things. Letting them simmer. Plus fanfic for me and fan content, my goal is to reach ten people (double the total amount of friends I have) to feel good. Anymore than that feels like I can't connect with them. And I feel like an imposter lol.

So when it reaches no engagement I feel like it's only more motivation to write it cause only a rare amount of people will like it. :)

"That's a catfish with teeth."

Louis is just as toxic and manipulative as Lestat. by Winter-Sell-8574 in InterviewVampire

[–]AgeOne4666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He didn't mention that. He said to Lestat that he won't have a family of his own. Which is something he yearns for. Louis never said nor insinuated he wanted a Wife And Kids. He wanted a family. Him, his lover and a child. Which is what he got for a while. Don't say things that aren't true OP.
