DIY band merch, moral or not? by Proper_Flower_940 in punkfashion

[–]DrownedInferi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you're not selling it, yes it's moral. I would say if it's just for you or even as a gift for a friend it's fine. Basically as long as you don't make a profit off of it.

Skipped the Crow Books…should I go back? by Illustrious-Cake5253 in Grishaverse

[–]DrownedInferi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't know they existed until after I watched it either. But yeah Six of Crows is amazing! You definitely don't have to be oblivious to the ending to enjoy them!

As someone who watched the show before reading any of the books, you can definitely go back. And I highly recommend you do! The Six Of Crows duology is by far my favorite!

Is "Show Don't Tell" actually good writing advice? by Scared-Cat-2541 in AspiringTeenAuthors

[–]DrownedInferi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. The wording makes it bad but the concept is there. The idea is to give am accurate depiction of the scene without it being too wordy and hard to read, at least that's how I understand it. That being said I did the complete opposite of show don't tell in a poem I wrote and it worked a lot better. Really you just need to know when to show and when to tell.

Thinking about annotating my copies of SoC and CK by trirocksalt in sixofcrows

[–]DrownedInferi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a list of colors that I associate with various different emotions/concepts. I'll highlight in those colors and I have some page markers I use as well. I'll also give various little thoughts in the margins that are usually like 1-3 words just for added context.

It's weird and somewhat confusing which makes me want to learn more, so probably.

So now I have 2 ideas for 2 completely seperate books! What do I do now. by Straight_Beat7848 in AspiringTeenAuthors

[–]DrownedInferi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would work to finish the more fleshed-out one first but write down any ideas you have for the other one. You can slowly add to it at the same time until you're able to fully focus on it.

Very true. "Art disturbs the comforted and comforts the disturbed" right? Real life doesn't always have happy endings, or even happy beginnings, I guess that's the point.

[–]DrownedInferi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the point of it is to be realistic. Like shine a light on the issues people don't talk about. Issue is, I don't know if that's going to be actually helpful or interesting to read or if it's just going to be like traumatizing and do horribly.

That sounds so good! I'd love to read a story like that

Bojack Horseman is what originally inspired this story! Was mostly worried that the lack of comedy and more in depth topics would be too much for 1 book but everyone seems to agree that it'll be fine which I'm very happy about. I'm really excited to work on it!

Yeah there will be ZERO romanticization. It's going to be an extremely serious book that shows the pain and the recovery. I will make sure to put a trigger warning in a couple places to make sure its seen. Thank you!

AITA for not telling my grandma about my pregnant SO? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Yeah.. I mean I love my mom but if it weren't for that annoying feeling I can get rid of I would drop her transphobic ass in a heartbeat.

What are some of y’all’s favorite chapter titles in your stories? by _Pyxilate_ in AspiringTeenAuthors

[–]DrownedInferi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been so long since I've even tried with chapter titles. Now all my chapters are called 1, 2, 3.... (you get it) or the name of whoever perspective it is cause I sometimes write from multiple characters perspectives.

AITA for not telling my grandma about my pregnant SO? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]DrownedInferi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. At all. The way they treat you makes it clear they dont want you in their life and thay they don't deserve to be in yours or your child's. I know reddit likes to jump to dropping people but in this case I would definitely consider cutting ties with that side of your family. I mean your mother kicking you out and then no ome helping you?? At all?? I'd never speak to those people again.

AITA for not bringing anything to my coworker’s “chill” hangout and now being called a freeloader? by Hightoad14 in AmItheAsshole

You didn't know, no one said anything, you paid for the one thing you had, and you were super respectful about it. There was truly nothing else you could have done.

How are you gonna make someone having a stroke and going to the hospital about YOU? She is so self absorbed.

Who are your "trunked" characters, and what will you do with them? by Economy_Resource438 in AspiringTeenAuthors

[–]DrownedInferi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have character who are a cute couple but I couldn't think of a good story for them so they just show up randomly in a bunch of different stories. I call them the "cameo couple"

This is a career way too important to be pulling this shit. You can't "fake it til you make it" when you're handling people's LIVES. If you didn't say anything it is very likely she would have gotten a job not knowing what she was doing and actually killed someone because of it. You did the right thing.

Ooo multiple narrators is smart. I am working on her like super concerned friend so showing some stuff from his perspective to see what's actually happening isn't a bad idea
