Writeblr re-intro

While I made an intro when I joined a while back, it was hasty and not that good because I was very nervous and just wanted to get it out, so here's another.

  • Name(s)

The pen name I'm planning on using is 'Isaiah Pater', but you can also call me Eli, Emil, Levi, or Lian.

  • Pronouns

I use fae/faer, it/its, and he/him pronouns (full sets for reference: fae/faer/faer/faers/faerself, it/it/its/its/itself and he/him/his/his/himself).

  • Age

I'm 18+. I don't mind minors interacting with me/my blog, though! I try to keep it SFW for the most part, although there will definitely be some cursing. I might at some point also post adult things, considering how some of my OCs are, so I ask that minors do block the tags "#nsft" and "#spiced writing". Obviously I can't control what you do, but it's definitely preferred. If I catch you, as a minor, interacting with those posts anyway, I'll give you a soft block and warning first. Second time will be a hard block.

  • Others

I mostly write fantasy (to varying degrees). There might be short snippets sometimes of other genres, because it's always good to expand your abilities, but it's mainly fantasy. Most of my stories will probably also contain found family. For the rest, you'll need to look at the WIPs themselves.

I write both fanfiction and original things.

My inbox is always open for you to chat with me, ask me questions about my WIPs or me or my methods, or even to send me some of your own work if you'd like me to check it out.

And don't worry, I don't bite.

I also have places where you can financially support me if you have the means, a Ko-Fi, or a Paypal on request.

I'll place my WIPs, short descriptions of them and their taglists under the cut. Some of them I will work on more than others.

Write a paragraph that comes just before a character discovers a body. They can know the person or it can be a stranger, but the death has to be unexpected. Do not mention any words associated with death or bodies.

This feels like a good time to post a reminder about the NaNo-inspired spreadsheet I made, based on the old website:

It's available here for download - free if you want, any support is appreciated because it means I can keep making trackers and helps with my website costs, but I know times are tough for a lot of us. I've also put it up on Google Sheets here, but it looks a little different because the fancier chart effects aren't supported. You'll have to download it or make a copy to be able to use it. (Please don't ask me for edit access, that won't work. File > Make a copy, and you'll have it on your own Google Drive.)

I also made this in four other designs, available here. They all come with character and plot development sheets, and pages for novel info, chapters, timeline, etc. And there are versions for every month, so we're not confined to November!

And finally, because I always loved seeing everyone's word counts and accountability really helps me personally, I made a basic spreadsheet that you can use as a group to collectively track word counts or goals. This version's made for up to 8 people. Again you'll have to make a copy in your Drive to use it, and you'll need to give edit access to your whole group as well.

If there's interest, I'll keep making these as well for each new month. I can also expand it or add more columns/features, so feel free to let me know if you're interested and what you'd like to see!

did you know you can do anythingh with your ocs and no one can stop you.. did you know you can make aus of your ocs. you should make aus of your ocs

why confine them to just one timeline or universe?? it's a disservice really

Can I just say something honestly and very seriously to all you writers?

With the Internet going down the "nothing adult, no death, no nothing. Make it kid friendly" route,

Please don't ever stop making art or writing wips that are gruesome, horror, other things like that. Don't let the Internet sanitize how you wanna tell a story. Channel your rage into your art and keep going and don't give up

SCREW CENSORSHIP!

✨🎉 With no little pride and much, much love,

it's Friday and that means that Flash Fiction Friday is about to start! (right now!)

Today is a very special day for us, some of you might have anticipated it: It's the day of our 300th prompt(s), and we prepared a little celebration for you! But 300 prompts also mean 300 weeks of Flash Fiction Friday, and with some breaks, we had our 6 year anniversary this February. That is why we also prepared an extra announcement down below.

We wish you a lot of fun with our six brand old prompts and happy writing! ✨🎉

✨ New to FFF? Let us fill you in!

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

"how did you get into writing" girl i've been tormented by the visions since i was eight years old

Reblog if you're okay with receiving asks for backstory info on any/all of your fics.

If not all, specify which ones in the tags.

yes BUT ☝️ there is a 90% chance I will not know the answer until you ask

the other 10% you ask and I post an elaborate whole 10k about it. sometimes these things happen.

One of the best writing advice I have gotten in all the months I have been writing is "if you can't go anywhere from a sentence, the problem isn't in you, it's in the last sentence." and I'm mad because it works so well and barely anyone talks about it. If you're stuck at a line, go back. Backspace those last two lines and write it from another angle or take it to some other route. You're stuck because you thought up to that exact sentence and nothing after that. Well, delete that sentence, make your brain think because the dead end is gone. It has worked wonders for me for so long it's unreal

I don't remember where I heard this now, but I absorbed the advice, "if you're stuck, count ten sentences back and start again from there". It's not always ten sentences back, for me, but it does force me to look at the last handful of lines I've actually written on a sentence instead of a story level, and that is eminently helpful in unsticking myself most of the time.

I recently resolved a point where I'd been stuck for months not by changing anything in the scene I was currently writing, but by realizing I needed to add another scene before that one to establish key information I couldn't work into the current one

HEY WRITER MUTUALS COME GET YOUR WRITER JUICE

Periodic rent-lowering-gunshots:

  1. Fiction is not reality.
  2. You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it's just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don't affect anyone real, so they're okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.
  3. No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It's up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.
  4. No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don't like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.
  5. You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.
  6. Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.
  7. The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.
  8. Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn't stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.
  9. Sex isn't an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn't dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.
  10. You aren't entitled to an explanation for why someone reads, writes, or otherwise enjoys certain works, kinks, tropes, ships, etc.
