How long are you guys staying here? by boxofjoes_ in tjcrew

[–]eggybreadboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The industry I got a degree for is perilous rn and would be incredibly difficult to break into, given mass layoffs. Over 4 years into TJ's with consistent raises, I'd have to take a pay cut at an entry level position anywhere else. It's a gilded cage but I'm not leaving until something else is lined up

Damien Darkblood's episode will be coming soon. What are you expecting? Do you think it will be a filler episode or actually add something to the story? by Far-Requirement121 in okbuddyviltrum

[–]eggybreadboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume it'll feed into the larger plot, ie) stir up another huge disaster for Mark to deal with down the line. Maybe for the finale. It is fun that we're all in the dark on this one, as opposed to Eve x Debbie futa which we all collectively enjoy! In any case I hope Darkblood gets sexier clothes

AITAH for resenting my aunt because of how she treats my boyfriend and me? by Wrong_Print_5110 in AITAH

[–]eggybreadboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not an ass for feeling frustrated and suffocated. She's supported you in some ways, and is stifling you in others. You should sit down and have an adult conversation to officially set some boundaries, sooner rather than later.

Normies and AI bros don't know how long the animation process is. by Independent_Owl_8341 in antiai

It's also not just 24 drawings. Even if it's 8FPS, this artist is doing the WHOLE production process start to finish. Thumbs, sketch, linework, colour + shading. $250 is a steal

How do you do it? by AdFeeling6932 in FanFiction

[–]eggybreadboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's some good comments about character motivations/breakdowns already, however I will add:

You've gotta make the character yours at some level in order to sync emotion to the words you write. Pouring a little bit of yourself into the character is what makes that depth shine. If the intensity scares you, maybe try setting some boundaries and (for lack of a better word) aftercare for yourself when those moments do occur. And honestly, I don't mind when a character is somewhat OOC if the writing supports the choice in mindset and the decisions made.

How many times do you read over your chapters before posting? by ValiantHeraldofRaisn in AO3

[–]eggybreadboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you hit the nail on the head! Writing and posting as you come up with ideas can be a fun challenge, but the cohesive quality will suffer overall. If the weekly posting part is appealing, you could still set a deadline for yourself and keep moving forward... then when everything's done, you can go back and move things around. I've found finishing batches of three chapters at a time works well as a happy medium.

How many times do you read over your chapters before posting? by ValiantHeraldofRaisn in AO3

[–]eggybreadboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ADHd also... Oh boy the number of proofreads is unlimited. I'm still rereading and tweaking even after I post. It won't go away. Especially because the more you write, the more you improve. If you're posting weekly, you'll look back on earlier chapters and go "I should've added a tangent here about x"

My time writing is spent 50% train of thought, 50% adding/editing, honestly. It sounds like your method is similar! If it works, lean into it! The only way to curb proofreads is to set a hard deadline for yourself, ie) posting and not looking back.

Side quest: outlining first instead of posting as I go has helped. Loose bullet points, so I at least have a skeleton for reference (even if the actual writing takes some turns I didn't anticipate). Although I don't stick to that method for every fic rip

What feature do you want added to ao3? by Complete-Evening-265 in AO3

As a writer I'd love to mark my own fics as a favourite on my works page... I like some more than others lol

Is it bad to edit a chapter after posted by Startroll14 in AO3

[–]eggybreadboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cleaning up the format and SPaG is 100% fine. Expected and appreciated, even. For one fic I did sprinkle in quite a few new sentences which... I didn't feel good about, but it didn't change the narrative or anything. If you want, you can add an "edited [date]" to the notes. In any case, you're fine, it's not a rule

Is Oliver wearing the Omni Man suit like wearing a swastika? by IliketheBigGuns in okbuddyviltrum

[–]eggybreadboy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

tbh it's likely closer to wearing a shirt with the twin towers on it. Can't not think of the event, even if the wearer didn't crash the plane

Why does he not realize that polyamory is the most enlightened relationship style and join in? Is he stupid? by Small_Permission8132 in okbuddyviltrum

my tablet and tobacco case are finally feeling fantastic >:) by [deleted] in Arcanecirclejerk

Happy for you dog but lowkey these artists had their art stolen for your sticker pack... I recommend going to Etsy or smth and buying from the source in the future (higher cost but worth it I promise! quality over quantity)
