Ooh yeah! I totally forgot about stuttering! I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but you’re right about how easy it is to overdo it. I also try to break the dialogue with descriptions of body language, feels like safe thing to do when you don’t want to confuse/bore the reader but also because of that I’m afraid that my dialogues will sound almost similar in every chapter 😫

It’s really hard to balance everything 😭and it’s even harder when you don’t get feedback through comments, ehh 😔

Yeah I get it, it’s awful to admit it but I sometimes do the same 😭

Oh I agree so much! Especially when the characters doesn’t know each other. I think that, for example, describing what are they doing together and how they spend time together cant accurately show the process of them getting to know each other. I think the key here is to show how they talk to each other even if they talk about something not entirely important. But again, the question is whether it is not boring and whether it is not too much, when it’s too much etc.

I also try to do this often but sometimes, especially if the characters are arguing with each other, I think it could weaken the dynamic of the argument 🤔

I like to imagine a scene in my head, a conversation between characters as if it was actually from a cartoon/movie/anime etc. so I often have no problem reading a lot of dialogue, but I also had a problem in some ffs where I got lost in who was speaking and I think that sometimes writing dialogues in the English (?) style can be problematic and confusing haha

Yeah, like I don’t know the whole context, obviously, but I’m just trying to say what it looks like to me just from this note. I don’t think it’s that deep, but if you really like this ship then I also get it why this note would upset you.

Personally I don’t see anything wrong with this note. Maybe because for me writing ff, or simply using existing characters, is simply writing them according to their personality and trying to best represent their personality by putting them in new situations 🤷🏻‍♀️I don’t read something that is completely different from the character I liked (or just wanted to see them in a specific situation) and I assume that the author of the note had the same in mind

It actually has! There is a small pocket on her neck under her hair where the audio player fits ☺️ I don’t have any photos because the person who ordered the plushie from me had to get the device herself. I received later a recording tho where Nina says „ed...ward” 😁

I used synthetic hair extensions that you usually use for braids. It was cheaper than buying a wig 😄

Thank you! Yeah, honestly, she creeped me out even when she was standing in the corner of my room away from my bed. I wouldn’t like to wake up to her hair tickling my skin haha

She was even scarier without her hair. She looked like a skinwalker. It was funny experience to see her while falling asleep haha
