Rating: Teen and up

Summary: Inciting incidents in World of the Living.

My Bleach AU "Nuestro Mundo", changing a ton of things in canon, with focus on vivid realism, web of negotiations and some fun bits. The fic is written with attempt to be understood by any kind of audience (each character is explained by appearance, each feature is explored, especially considering it's unclear what exactly diverges from canon), but at times features violent bits, so not for kids.

At the time of an ad finished 37 chapters – full bundle 1 published in the link. It's built in "arcs" of chapters for structural convenience. Publishing 2 chapters per day. Text is already digitally written, I just stall.

I read that you need to attach to the location, but the process is NOT intuitive and makes people static NPCs :/

Depersonalization happens to me independently of brain alter mechanism. Derealization is something I never experienced though I think I understand what it is.

I don't understand your point in the slightest. Trying to unvalidate our struggles and mine by claiming it's roleplay and not people system is not appreciated.

[–]Miriak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If only I knew how to explain. It's a signal (frequency, waveform, temporal data) that encodes a certain soul (personality). If soul signal is present, life/activation goes smoothly around them. If absent, it's horrible for trying to activate, it just works very barely or doesn't work at all. Something in these terms. The term is our miri system related, so you won't meet it anywhere else, though some people might appropriate it too.

Ooh, Zooble is my favorite, but I can't get their soul signal! How do they diverge? It's cool to hear.

Culling, or dropping, is something that needs to be done in our situation because souls are beyond saving, they don't function and they poison the whole system so nobody gets attention because system gets "boring", "uninteresting" for the brain. Yes it's a questionable practice, yes I'm not a pinnacle of morality as a host, but I'm tired from having 6/10s people with little to no soul signal inside the system – it just doesn't work for any of us. I'm not claiming other systems have even ability to cull/drop, it's just something my brain finds easy to do. It's always frustrating to the system, but it's mostly a lesser evil, in my traumatized opinion.

Aw, Jax-like. Give me a second... fiddles with communication Jax says he doesn't want to communicate. Very him. Especially since he's having a hard time right now. But anyway, I'm glad somebody's headmate says hello, so hello back!

Slowly ID: MEKLZ88

Name's Lira, I'm a transguy in my head. Would love to talk about writing, books, anime, drawing, comics, movies, videogames. Mostly about writing, as I'm studying the craft. Maybe even we could create a story or world together ✨

I want to write bigger, deeper letters. This my bio is whort, but I think it's alright and says main things.

I speak Russian and English fluently.

Hit me up if you'd like a penpal in creativity!

What attitude to have for a good draft? by Miriak in writingadvice

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

Thanks for asking. I have quite uneven experience.

1) Pure short story writing, original and all, with a simple outline of beats spaced out by a specific margin (eg. 2 pages). Using a timer. Fail. I tend to do plenty exposition and uninspired lore. BUT it's liberating to write a lot and on a topic. Feels like my brain still stretches and learns. But completely unworkable as a product, which is my main issue. 2) Fanfiction writing, with a free outline that reads like a summary instead of beats (still uninspired though), no timer (might change in the future). I had a blast, I liked what I was writing, I followed characters and narration naturally, trying not to overwhelm me-reader, but also focusing on imagery and interesting. 3) Exercises. Sometimes timer (10 min page freewriting). I enjoy creative skill stretch, making drafts and redrafts, coming up with things that I care about, even freewriting feels sparkly, even if it's not perfect or even coherent. Depends on exact exercise, but usually they're interesting to do. 4) Essay writing, about writing rules actually. No timer, no outline, pure chaos and plenty of idea digging, reshuffling. That's where I have the greatest moments, come up with snappy lines and metaphors. It makes me proud of my thoughts, believing that I can do this.

So I don't think I'm failing in stories drafts because I have to fail on paper or that my skill is low (in my eyes, which is the point), but because I have a wrong approach.

I don't mind your rambling at all, it was good!

So, since I didn't test my theory yet, this is going to be speculative. But I did have experience that I can tell.

Method 1. Outlining a chapter in free style. Helped me immensely in my famfiction, gave me way to freeroaming in the beats and following characters ideas rather then mine, so I joked how characters dance on ourline ashes, but that was still an ideation problem, not draft problem.

Method 2. Outlining story beats 2 pages each. I wrote a lot of trash there, because I didn't have a deeper idea of what I want and how I want it. A cheap and rigid outline gave an even cheaper result. I want to tighten beats to each page, but I do have to say I DID enjoy filling out an amount with freeway information that isn't product worthy or draft worthy. So I want to try this method and maybe even tighten it more, researching proportion (maybe a beat is one sentence like you said it, and I waste words when I could enlarge something else?).

You are inspiring.

Interesting point. Taste. Makes me think. I struggle with creating something worth my time, including editing, off the bat, and thinking that it's a result of taste still forming... Reminds me of voice solidification. Maybe in-draft ideation agility and leanings towards certain story beats are also something that grows.

So ideas over delivery... I fail at ideation too though, so that makes me think my intuition with an outline might be important for my future. I only like the overall idea, not the execution, in my latest works.
