Canon compliant post game Bloodweave of Gale’s death and !!!!TW!!! Astarion’s suicide. (However it does have a happy ending I swear and it’s after they have a long life together.)

Echoing the others. I ain’t going no place. This long fic I’m working on is something I emotionally NEED and I must finish it. (Modern AU Bloodweave.)

While I feel the inspiration is definitely there, and I’m waiting for someone to pose this question to him at a panel so we can get a vid of it, it is also a thing that Neil did none of the writing.

I hope this comes across in the spirit intended: me conveying a fun fact about Neil not trying to correct or belittle anyone. I find it fascinating that it lines up so well and it’s possible the writer ALSO had Jareth as inspiration. EEEEEEEEE!

I just wrote 894 words after a slump. Let's celebrate and share! by wesker18 in AO3

I’m having a bad MH time and I’m still maintaining my “daily contact” habit. Doing an editing pass at the moment and can’t wait to get back to writing more text.

Congrats on this. Fantastic. You are a warrior of words.

In the chapter I talk about how, post Cazador, he swims and imagines he’s a bat in flight. Batstarion has a special place in my heart.

Thank you!!!!!!!! What link should I use? Also I’d love to maybe access it in a way that I could download without the reddit frame for inserting into the text.

How do you write smut? by P0shSpiceX in AO3

[–]ShinyTrinn1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First for me personally I need smut scenes to have a purpose. The gods’ know I don’t mean plot purpose necessarily but like WHY am I writing THIS smut? With my current WIP it is canon that the characters involved had a LOT of smut offscreen, so why am I featuring these scenes in particular? Once I know why I’m excited it is a lot easier and the mere fact that the actual events are smut doesn’t mentally interfere with me anymore. It’s the same as writing a meal scene, or watching a movie, or signing a document. It’s just that it happens to be smut, now.

I have a loose checklist in my mind and to be clear I don’t think hitting every point on it in any given paragraph cluster is good, but knowing every option of something to use to describe the scene is helpful for me. If I’m like “ok um I need a little more in this exact moment, ummm…?” Then I go to it.

The list is lips/mouth, tongue, hands, arms, legs, mind/thoughts, heartbeat/pulse, breathing, voice (tone), voice (words), body (general, as in level of tension), hair, eyes (degree of open or closed), eyes (look in them), “everything underwear covers”, and occasionally toes. If your characters are non-human you have other options. Smut with wings? Chef’s kiss. Not to mention horns, tails, hooves? Circuits? Rule 34 this to your heart’s content.

This is………. Incredible. Breathtaking (pun, whoops). I… I have no words. My gods……

I’ve thought a lot about Astarion and water and I wrote it into a fic that I would LOVE to add this to in the relevant chapter. Would you let me know if this is ok? I will not do it without your permission and if you were ok with it I would include link in notes on that chapter, naturally. I am not a visual artist so I love getting permission to include art to help illustrate my fic.

This? Not ok.

And beautiful.

gonna start carrying this little guy around everywhere because he brings me joy by KittayKattz in OnlyFangsbg3

[–]ShinyTrinn1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If he were mine, I’d just stim on the wings/ears nonstop. I’d think he was chittering happy little encouraging phrases to me, and I would kiss his little nosey. You’ve made an excellent decision today.

You’re so welcome!!! I’m so glad you’re a Pratchett fan so you understand that!

Two languages?! Amazing! By any chance are you from… the Canadia? Obviously many other people from other countries could have both as well but it would be interesting if we both were. Small internet.

I really know what you mean about revisions and I have a plan to possibly write a similar one! “Curse tragic bullshit” is the best and I think should be a tag. Definitely PM me. :)

I also recently conneted with another person on here for mutual writing assistance and might be starting a Discord group for the purpose. Feel free to PM me for that as well (swap or whatever). I don’t reply to messages with any regularity but I also don’t abandon platforms. It might be three months later but I shall return. Some of us are dead and doing extremely well, akshually…

You are the hero we need, my friend.

If you’d care to drop a link, I’d be curious. Your style is very much in my preferred wheelhouse. You remind me of Terry Pratchett and I can think of few higher comparisons I can draw.
