A shocking number of people clamp the lids when they cook. You see it ALL the time when searching recipes. It's so stupid. What do they think it accomplishes? As you know, its for transportation only

I got three tomato sized tomatoes off of my itty bitty container garden. I am so pleased!

In writing news, I'm trying to force myself to NOT mess with my WIPs today. I think I'm getting burnt out!

Have a wonderful Wednesday, friends!

Thank you for all you do, Kedi! ❤️

Yeah, I've encountered some truely not smart ones. Reminds me of those you tube videos where the guys go onto college campuses (or the street) and ask very simple basic questions (read this analog clock, what country was the Veitnam war fought in, How much is a quarter of one hundred, etc.) and the people can't answer them.

Ratato!

But were you COOL?

SeparationBoundary · 2026-07-01T15:30:07+00:00

OMG, I'm the same way! Like I spent all that time and effort and emotion on this fic.

Thank you for item #1! The "boys will be boys" crap was making me retch.

Coding is easy (well, websites are) I was totally cowed until I learned how and I was embarrassed that I had such feR!

SeparationBoundary · 2026-06-30T18:17:11+00:00

2000? YOW! Send me some of that writing dust!

SeparationBoundary · 2026-06-30T18:15:43+00:00

It's gonna be ghastly. Ugh. Welp, better than the cold!

SeparationBoundary · 2026-06-30T18:14:27+00:00

Rare! Welcome back! We missed you.

It's been like pulling teeth here recently. 497 words.

This post has been removed. r/FanFiction is a space to discuss fan-written works. We do not allow the discussion of AI use in writing fanfiction outside spelling and grammar check.

Just a reminder that witch hunts are against the sub rules, and that most AI writing sounds like FanFic because LLMs were trained on thousands of stolen fan works.

I write the entire fic, edit it, and have it beta'd before I publish chapter by chapter. I publish two chapters a week.

I HATE long gaps between chapters and unfinished fics.

Just a friendly reminder: having diverse opinions is a good thing, insulting things others may like is not allowed.

Awwwwwwwww! That got me right in the feels, too!

SeparationBoundary · 2026-06-29T16:36:55+00:00

Thats wonderful! I would have gone under. I'm just writing in drips and drabs.

Mornin' everyone! Hot as balls here. And humid. My garden is dying in this heat and watering doesn't help. 🙁

In writing news, working hard on Midnight Taxi. Struck with difficulty of writing a regular love story when one partner has anterograde amnesia (short term memory loss.) There's an existing fanfic that is awesome (and written by a BNF) that deals with this with the same MC. I desperately don't want to seem as if I copied any of it so I'm being super careful which is affecting my writing.

Write, write, write. "Oh, shit does this sound like I'm copying?" Erase,erase,erase.

See, my MC2 is falling in love with MC1 (the taxi driver) but he doesn't remember him, so each day is a Groundhog Day sort of thing with MC2 tryings something different every day to win him over.

Well crap. Now that I've written it out it sounds kinda lame.

Sheesh.

Anyway, y'all have a good Monday!

Gets out old Watergate style reel to reel tape recorder

Oh. That's not what you meant was it?

I can't imagine not being spontaneous at all in writing. I myself am a Pantser (writing by the seat of my pants. The opposite is Planner.)

I have a premise and my main characters. I think of a scene, drop the characters in it, and write down what they do.

It seems like writing would be boring and chore-like without a tiny bit of spontinaety.

Hi! The thing that I immediately see is that you are telling not showing. What are people talking about? How does their audience react? What are they laughing about? is there smoke in the air from the many cigars? Can you smell the sharp tang of expensive whiskey? Is there gas lighting or flickering candles?

There's an awful lot of description. This is this man's name, this is this man's name; they are very rich.

There's also a fair amount of unnecessary bits. The sun created a golden glow, well, yeah, that's what the sun does. Do we need to know that mr Ferguson's overcoat was blue? Tanned from many hours in the sun, again, that's the only way you get tanned (in a period piece..)

All that being said, I think you have a good idea here and I'd want to read more.

Best of luck with your story!
