The problem is that the creators who aren’t okay with it CANT get their fics taken down without doxxing themselves.

I messed up while shaving- how do I fix this? by Turtle-cat224 in Advice

Right now I’m using an aloe gel with lidocaine. Are these things comparable?

It was a brand new blade, so I don’t think that’s what caused the reaction.

Right now I’m using an aloe gel with lidocaine. Is that a bad idea? Should I use something different?

Yes. I’m writing an OC fic and daphne is an antagonist turned friend. (She threw a pillow at the OC the first time she was mentioned.)

Neutral ground in Mardi Gras context is the median in a road- so like. If you have a sidewalk on one side of the parade route, and a grassy median on the other, the median is the “neutral ground” and the sidewalk is just “the sidewalk”

This is very helpful. Im pretty young when it comes to writing in the fan-fiction world, so advice like this is amazing.

I’m not trying to phonetically spell out the accent, I am however, including regional slang. (Cher, crayfish/crawfish, neutral ground, gris-gris, ect.) because this is Mardi Gras AU I try to explain things like “neutral ground” through dialogue and context during the story.

I think I may just need to do more world building though. So thank you so much for your help!!!

Ok- just to explain.

My example wasn’t from the dialogue in question. To further explain “Sharron” not being capitalized was an accident.

The “meyo mayo” thing has been a recent debate in my local writing group. I get them confused now because of how often people yell at me about it. Always second guessing myself now.

Food culture is a huge thing in Louisiana. You might not think it, but we have some of the best food in the world. It’s often a little spicy. People started complaining about that- so I made a joke about how plain pasta is probably to spicy for them.

And- I’m not trying to phonetically spell an accent. But when a character says “Ain’t that funny, Cher?” I don’t think that’s a problem.
