A small heads-up:
For lent, I'll be off of tumblr. Different traditions treat Sundays differently during lent, so I'll pop in then.
I will still be posting on ao3 and avaliable on discord.
thx.

Chapter Five
Changbin considers a shower and change of clothes after his morning jog and check-in at the ferry pier, but though he knows little about plants and such, he figures a greenhouse, even in a Jeju winter, will be toasty. So changing feels senseless.
The village is small enough that by this point, Changbin has a solid map of it in his head. He knows vaguely where your greenhouse is; a decent walk from the tea shop. He slips on a windbreaker, the wind doing its best to chill his skin, now damp with sweat from that long jog. He nods to the people he passes, not many, and most of them over the age of forty easily. He wonders what it’s like for you, to have grown up here with all your personal history and yet still seem removed. He’s interacted with locals, and you’re unique.
Maybe it does have something to do with your time on the mainland, but he’s inclined to think that it’s just you.
He can see you through the greenhouse wall, blurredly as it seems condensation coats the walls along with wear from use and time. Amadeus is lying outside and lifts his head when Changbin approaches.
“No greenhouse for you?”
The dog looks blase.
“Probably too hot with that fur coat, huh?”
There’s a twitch in the muscle above Amadeus’s eye, an eyebrow raise of skepticism if one can use human traits for a dog.
Smut Thesaurus [18+/NSFW]
By request of the discord! Here’s the smut thesaurus I’ve been building to help me write. It’s even longer now because I included some extra words from The Ultimate Guide to Writing Smut Fic by QuinnAnderson on AO3.
How many words are there for “penis” and “thrust” (that aren’t completely cringey)? Here are all the ones I’ve gathered so far 😂
It’s going under the read-more cut because it’s over 1,000 words in bullet-point form so it is loooong.

Anonymous asked:
Hello, love! I l absolutely adore your blog, I was wondering if you have any tips/notes on writing someone else's biography? In my case, this is a living person I am very close to, but anything would help. Thank you so much!
Writing Notes: Biography
Biography - A detailed third person account of another person’s life story.
- Contains basic information about the subject’s life—like their place of birth, education, and interests.
- May also chronicle relationships with family members, as well as major events in the subject’s childhood and how those influenced their upbringing.
- Details the various accomplishments and life events of a real person, but it’s more than facts and figures—it comes to life with great stories told from beginning to middle to end.
Tips on How to Write a Biography
To write the story of a person’s life, you need to know more than just the basic facts. A good biography delves into what is really interesting about a person’s life—noteworthy achievements, moments of adversity, and major turning points. The best biography can encapsulate a subject’s entire life in an engaging way and provide enough personal details to give the reader an intimate look at their character. If you’re interested in writing a biography, the following steps can get you started:
- Get permission. Once you’ve chosen the subject of the biography, seek permission to write about their life. While in some cases it may not be necessary (like if the subject is a public figure or deceased), getting permission will make the research portion of your writing process much easier. If the subject is willing to be biographied, they may provide significant details about their own story up front that will help make your writing about them more compelling.
- Do your research. Regardless of how much you know about your subject, an extensive amount of research is necessary to paint a thorough picture of this person. If they’re a historical figure, include information about the time period they lived in and how it affected the way they lived their life. Primary sources are firsthand accounts of your subject’s life and tend to be the most reliable sources. These can include journal entries, emails, interviews, or memoirs. A primary source can also be any other information the subject has provided, such as a personal website, Twitter bio, social media account or professional bio. Secondary sources, like magazines or documentaries, can also be used if the information is proven accurate.
- Visit significant places in their life. A place, whether that’s a city, a rural house, or a bodhi tree, can carry a particular energy that you can only truly experience by being there. In putting the pieces together about someone’s life, it may be useful to go visit where they grew up, or where other significant events of their lives happened. It will be easier to imagine what they experienced, and better tell their story.
- Form your thesis. Your first paragraph or chapter should inform the reader what they will learn about this person from this biography. A thesis makes a declaration about the biographee which the rest of the biography will provide relevant information to support.
- Choose your focus. Knowing how you'd like to divide the story and what points you'd like to discuss will help you determine what information is most important. For example, if the focus of your biography is on someone's service in a war, then you wouldn't need to spend a lot of time on their early career as a salesman, unless that had an impact on their actions during the war.
- Make a timeline. A biography usually structures the main points of a person’s life in chronological order. Knowing the order of key events before you start writing can save you the hassle of having to reorganize your whole story later.
- Use flashbacks. While writing the text of your biography, you may want to intercut between an experience from your subject’s adult life and one from their high school days. Using flashbacks allows the author to introduce relevant past information to the reader without bogging them down with paragraphs of background exposition.
- Include your thoughts. A biography isn’t just a transaction of facts. A biographer can share their own feelings and opinions on their subject’s life. If the subject did something noteworthy, the author may include why they feel that moment was significant, how it was affected by the time period, and what it meant for society as a whole. This will support why this person deserves to be written about and keep the audience reading from the first sentence to the last.
- Consider your audience. The key to writing a great biography is really found within this idea: choose facts that are both relevant and interesting to your audience. In order to do this, you should consider why the biography is needed and who will be reading it, then focus on those areas of the person's life that the audience will likely want to know about.
- Get feedback and polish the text. If you’re going to publish your own biography, you’ll have to polish it to professional standards. After leaving your work to rest for a while, look at it with fresh eyes and edit your own manuscript eliminating passive voice, filler words, and redundant adverbs. Then, have a professional editor give you a general assessment. They’ll look at the structure and shape of your manuscript and tell you which parts need to be expanded on or cut. As someone who edited and commissioned several biographies, Tom Bromley points out that a professional “will look at the sources used and assess whether they back up the points made, or if more are needed. They would also look for context, and whether or not more background information is needed for the reader to understand the story fully. And they might check your facts, too.” Importantly, make sure to include a bibliography with a list of all the interviews, documents, and sources used in the writing process. You’ll have to compile it according to a manual of style.
Some basic facts about the person:
- date and place of birth (and death, if applicable)
- current location of residence
- educational background
- professional experience
- area of expertise
- major achievements
These elements don’t all have to be included in every bio. Consider what makes the most sense in light of the story of the person the bio is about and the purpose for which the bio is being created. Use that information to determine what parts of a biography need to be included.
In-Depth Information. A few key components you may want to include in a longer biography are:
- birth and childhood - Providing details about the time and place someone was raised will give your readers historical context.
- adult life - The majority of your biography is probably going to focus on the subject's adult life, when significant events started to unfold. Focus on notable events, such as the start of a relationship, a dramatic life change or another major turning point.
- death - If the subject of your story is deceased, you'll probably want to cover the events that unfolded before their passing. What legacy did they leave behind?
- interesting facts or anecdotes - Share interesting stories about the individual’s life story, selecting things that will be engaging to readers or particularly relevant to the purpose for which the biography is being written
- quotes about the person - If the person has been the subject of articles, books or news stories, consider working in a few quotes illustrating what others have said about the individual.
- photograph of the person - Include a photo of the person.
Writing for an Unknown Audience. Of course, you won't always know who your target audience is — if you're writing a book, for example, you can't always tell who will read it. In these cases, it's safe to assume that those who will read the biography are interested in the person, and that's why they're reading.
- In such a situation, a good approach is to focus primarily on what makes this person special, and target your research accordingly.
- A biography about someone who achieved a great scientific discovery may focus on the person's education and early experiments that led to the great discovery.
- It may also talk about how the discovery impacted the person’s life, the lives of others, or the individual’s profession or field of study.
These are the things that people reading about the subject are probably interested in learning.
Examples of Famous Biographies
- No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II by Doris Kearns Goodwin
- Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow
- Churchill: A Life by Martin Gilbert
- Her Own Woman: The Life of Mary Wollstonecraft by Diane Jacobs
- Hans Christian Andersen: The Life of a Storyteller by Jackie Wullschlager
