Thinking thots tonight.

I’ve been watching the Hunger Games series and have an idea for a fic. Zero idea what character but victor!reader x victor!character years after the games, finding whatever comfort they can with each other.

Perhaps they are from different districts and they can only meet during the games and it's angsty. Or they are from the same district and it’s an Annie/Finnick situation.

*crashes through the window, out of breath* hi, hello, good evening, or morning depending on where you are. um, so i think Haymitch is such a wonderful daddy of a character and it would be so very splendid if you were to write for him :)

Haha! I was actually thinking of doing a character from outside the hunger games universe and putting them in it! Like Victor!Sergei or Victor!Lucius. Or maybe even Jake Seresin. 👀

But I do agree Haymitch is something. 😮‍💨

These are awesome compliments! Thank you, anon! I am sorry I haven't been updating as much lately. I have a desire to write and ideas but....my brain needs more hand holding lately.

Uh oh...bodyguard!sergei might be what finally breaks me. I'm considering watching the movie after that sneak peak...

Oh my goodness, what a compliment!

I've recently drug @elusivewildflower and @lostinwildflowers into watching that movie. My power is growing *insert evil laugh.*

Just know 90% of my enjoyment of the movie is how criminally good ATJ looks. The plot is....lacking. But that is what fanfic is for!

I have a whole catalogue of OCs and fanfictions for The Hunger Games! I eventually joined them all together and made a “Extended Cinematic Universe” of sorts. I do that to all my favorite fandoms.

I love that! I do that with my fandoms/readers as well.

Writing Tips
Punctuating Dialogue

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

omg this is so helpful

Anonymous asked:

if you want and have one, can we get a sneak peak of the bodyguard!sergei kravinoff fic you're writing 🤭 ?

Fair warning I am still very much working out the kinks of the story and the plot so this may change but here's a sneak peek! I am happy for any and all feedback, I am a little down on my writing lately.

Please note this fic will include past references to domestic violence and an abusive partner.

You fiddle with your cup and saucer to occupy your hands, but as soon as you notice Sergei's attention shift to your movements, you drop your hand to your lap, nervously twisting the fabric of your pants between your thumb and forefinger.

“Why don’t you tell me what’s going on? Dmitri was unusually tight-lipped, and your emails were a little vague,” Sergei notes. 

“Ah, yes,” you say, your gaze flicking away briefly, unable to meet his steady, assessing eyes.

Each time you tried to write out an explanation about everything you faltered. The words never seemed to capture the depth of your unease, and what you had written always sounded exaggerated—dramatic, even. It felt so overblown when it was reduced to text. But then, of course, your nightmares would remind you of the reality behind the fear. 

“My ex-husband,” you begin, forcing yourself to meet his eyes again, though it’s harder now, “he’s, well, he’s not dangerous really but, he’s got a bit of a temper….” Your words trail off, and you can feel your face heat with embarrassment.

Sitting across from Sergei, you can’t help but feel foolish, especially with the way he exudes an intensity that feels almost out of place in the quiet, cozy coffee shop. There’s something about him that suggests he’s no stranger to high-stakes situations, maybe even life-and-death threats. You suddenly feel small in comparison, the weight of your concerns seeming trivial. He’s the kind of person used to handling real danger, and here you are, asking for help with something that feels almost silly in the context of his world.

“I’m sorry,” you rush out, suddenly overwhelmed by the ridiculousness of it all. “This was stupid. A mistake.”

Why you need to start reblogging fics:

Okay, saw a post about this, thought I would make a post explaining further. And this may make me sound like a bitch or ungrateful and that is not my intention. This is a conversation we, as a content consuming community, need to have—need to keep having.

And if you think we don’t need to have it, these are screenshots of notes on some of my fics—fics that have been posted for 7 months to 3 years. (And please keep in mind, I’ve been in the tumblr writing community for a while, so these numbers don’t even begin to correlate with new up-and-coming writers)

Does this seem right to you??? (the difference between likes and reblogs)

If you are saying ‘why yes, you are doing great. you have so many notes.’ you are not getting the point of this post—so let’s talk about it.

I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but please understand: likes do nothing for content creators.

1. Let’s first talk about why reblogging is so important:

  • Tumblr works on the reblog system (it’s not like Instagram, twitter or tiktok). In order for content to spread and appear on people’s dashs, it needs to be reblogged. That is the only way for content to be seen.

2. Let’s also do a quick take on why people don’t reblog (this is just what I have come across/seen people say):

  • “I commented, isn’t that enough?” — comments are fantastic! I LOVE to hear what you have so say, but like…you can also comment on a reblog. A comment + reblog = a marriage proposal from me, I swear. Cuz just comments tend to say: liked it but it wasn’t good enough for me to share with others (-̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥᷄_-̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥᷅ )
  • “I don’t want people seeing what I read” — unless your conservative grandma is on here and you really don’t want her seeing you reblog gay smut, I’m sorry that’s a stupid excuse.
  • “I don’t want to clutter up my blog” — I’m sorry, what??? This is tumblr. We are not influencers on here. And if you’re tying to be, I gotta tell ya something, buddy: you’re on the wrong platform. But if it REALLY bothers you that much—I’ve seen some people make a sideblog where they reblog fics. Of course, this doesn’t give the same traction because those blogs tend to have less followers, but at least it’s something.
  • “It’s too much to scroll through” bruh, that’s why writers put the ‘keep reading’ line break in their posts. And if they don’t, well, that’s a whole separate issue.
  • “Tags are enough for content to get spread” — this is simply just not true. People don’t always search through tags and the tag they look under might not be one that the fic has. And, even if people do stalk the tags, the content that is at the top is content that has the most engagement. This doesn’t help creators that don’t already have some traction and it doesn’t do much even for those who do. And before you say, ‘go under recently posted’ - not many people do that and, even when they do, they still miss content because ✮ tumblr algorithm ✮ (◔_◔)

3. And let’s be real—

  • Most of the reblogs and feedback I receive comes from other writers that I have befriended.
  • “Support writers” doesn’t just mean “writers support writers” it means “content consumers, support writers.”
  • Other platforms like AO3, Wattpad, and/or FF.NET — buddy, it ain’t better over there. trust me, I’m on em’ all.

Why do you think so many writers disappear from writing community? Why do you think so many of them stop creating? Why do you think we rarely get new ones?

It’s because they put hours upon hours of their sweat, blood, and tears into motherfucking masterpieces and those masterpieces just end up at the bottom of the void.

Yes, yes writers should write for themselves, ultimately, but it’s nice to get some validation—to get someone saying ‘hey, yeah I’m here. I’m seeing you.”

And that is why I try my VERY hardest to reblog with a large comment!

So, please, content consumers, support your content creators.

This is from one of my most popular fics…the majority of my other fics don’t even come close.

Please reblog, I’m begging you!
