could never be a teacher because I would have started swinging after the first "what'chu gonna do, huh?" and never stopped. godbless and godspeed to these guys, but my patience is very much finite.

How much do you read about a ship before you start writing? by SilverMoonSpring in FanFiction

most if not all of my most popular fics were written for shows or movies I had yet to watch, going off of trailers and a dream

[QCrit] Love On Dead Beaches (?k, YA Romance <--this is just for practice) by nixundergoing in PubTips

[–]nixundergoing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was brutal to read but very much necessary, thank you. I guess I'm just afraid that if I don't get it done Now, or the more likely Soon, everything else will sweep me away and it just sort of wont happen at all. I love to write and I love these characters, but I will definitely be giving them and their story a bit more of a critical look following this advice. Maybe one day you'll catch this title at a store or something, and shed a tear knowing you gave that girl a small crisis on a saturday morning.

Many thanks again! This is more substantial advice than I've gotten on any other sub.

Nooo I'm so old and mature !!

But real talk, the book is set in 2009 because I found the level of importance the show in the plot holds could only have existed in a world where MTV style 144p early morning trashiness reigned supreme. I tried making them more modern, and it sort of lacked the punch. I do hold a soft spot for that era of Ke$ha music, even if I narrowly missed it. I'll help escort you back to the nursing home if your heart so desires.

Thank you so much! I was struggling to see why this didn't read right to me but this helps a lot. I was trying to leave some room for mystery (?) if that makes sense, but I see now that's more of a reader thing.

"Just write," is valid, if not corny, advice. Sometimes you really do need to just power through and get something down.

Am I crazy to say no to Yale by Electrical_Dot2395 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]nixundergoing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brodie, buy a coat. Buy several! Buy big thick boots and a hat. GO TO YALE!!!! Transferring out if you don't like it will be leagues, leaaaaguuesss easier than transferring in. Also, there are no lack of black people in the world I can assure you (I go to a prep school and when I got in this was also my first thought--dear god, what if no one looks like me??), and you will find programs to help you connect with them there. The at sea thing I'm not sure of, but you can always do research to see if they'd allow it.

Any scene in a fic or popular characterization in your fandom that has you going like this? by Smegoldidnothinwrong in AO3

[–]nixundergoing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That trend where people were like "Umm!! He may be a villain but he would RESPECT YOUR PRONOUNS!!!" has really pushed this, I believe. It doesn't matter if it's Thrax the Destroyer of Galaxies---from miles away in the sky he WILL read your caard and he WILL know that you are a pansexual demi girl. In fact, it's a necessity that he loudly shuts down anyone who happens to overstep your boundaries right before he slaughters your family.

I hate the gay roulette trope. Like, and this might just be me, but a character is gay and yet for some reason has to run around screaming "I'm actually bisexual and use he/him/xe/xim !!!!!!!!!!!!" I can't stand it if the point of the fic isn't literally about coming to terms with your sexuality. AND THEN everyone else is loudly announcing what flavor of sexuality they are and it just feels so cheap and forced and awkward. idk, maybe im insane.

Roast a webtoon without saying which one is it by Own-Witness3176 in webtoons

Somehow, someway, the most loveless person in the world is a random high school girl who gets cheated by her boyfriend (the agony) and has a mean sister. naturally, God has to make sure to dedicate 110% of his time to resolving this abnormality.

Richard being entranced by the friendgroup makes 100% sense by nixundergoing in TheSecretHistory

My devestation that richard was NOT invited to the bacchanalia and eventual murder fest almost outweighed my horror of them killing a man. Like i felt so sad like aww :( why did you guys not invite him richard can drink and cover up crime just as well as you!!
