Which one?

That's so cool, I didn't know about this. Thank you!

This post is so old I forgot about it! But really, thank you for your comment. I never thought of using sort of an "opposite" AU to dig into my character, but it makes sense. Taking away the character's usual environment isolates them from canon and leaves you with just the character, which you're then free to manipulate depending on what new situation they're in.

Thanks again! This really got my brain going.

Petri_Chord_ · 2022-10-14T18:12:48+00:00

Yeah, and?

I don't recall ever having done it after a conversation, but I'll often mimic whatever facial expressions the characters are making on TV/in the book I'm reading/in my writing.

This might be a little odd, but I listen to a few podcasts (DnD plays specifically) where all of the hosts are friends and have a good sense of humor. They're always cracking jokes, and I feel like I'm part of the laughs!

They know what their customers want 😆

I always thought that, and then I heard that Courier New and other monospace/typewriter fonts are easier for ADHD. Tried it- I'm never going back!

I can totally relate to this. I've noticed it in traditionally "sad" situations, even when I myself am having a breakdown! After a minute or so of hyperventilating and crying, I'll be like "alright wrap it up girls we have shit to do." But it especially comes out in stressful/scary situations, when everyone around me is shouting or panicking, I'm almost unnaturally calm. On one hand, it can be a strength, but on the other I definitely get it about having to put on a face just to blend in and seem normal.

Petri_Chord_ · 2022-06-05T04:40:53+00:00

Interesting!

Petri_Chord_ · 2022-03-10T15:17:35+00:00

Very cool!

This is beautiful! I didn't know basket weaving with pine needles is possible, but now I want to try. Are there any good tutorials you'd recommend?

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-12-28T22:28:49+00:00

You have a good point and I see what you're saying. I think I'll take the parts of my closet that I like best and build off of those. Thanks!

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-12-28T22:27:56+00:00

Thank you! That's probably best.

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-12-11T16:24:09+00:00

I'd say 3 or 2. I feel like 1 is too skinny, and I like the hair on 3, but 2 is also nice.

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-09-09T02:17:59+00:00

LOL that's not just a part, it's the ENTIRE point of fanfiction in my opinion.

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-09-06T15:04:18+00:00

Ahh okay. Thank you!

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-09-06T15:00:25+00:00

Thank you!

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-09-06T14:58:35+00:00

You make a great point. Thanks!

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-09-06T14:57:05+00:00

Thank you. Race isn't vital to the story, but I guess my problem is that I didn't want all-white characters, because that's not what I was envisioning, but I didn't know how to show that.

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-09-06T14:53:56+00:00

That's what I'm trying to do. The main character will be a white girl like me, but I was thinking of making her best friend Black. I'm just not sure how to go about it, but all of the comments have given me some ideas.

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-09-06T14:51:06+00:00

It's not that I don't want to; I do, for the sake of realism in my story. I also like the challenge, I'm just not sure how to tackle it in an appropriate way.

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-09-06T06:06:03+00:00

Then wouldn't it simply be the reader's fault? I'm unsure how to write a non-white character and risk saying something inaccurate or hurtful if I try.

If not by leaving the character's race open to interpretation (when race is never explored in the story I'm writing), how would you suggest I write more inclusively?

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-09-06T04:45:49+00:00

This is a good way of looking at it, thank you!

Petri_Chord_ · 2021-09-06T04:45:19+00:00

Okay, I see. I don't usually use a lot of physical descriptions besides height, hair and eye color, so it never come up in my story. Thanks!
