Writing Purgatory

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

Made a list of all the AU’s I could think of. Used to help me when I have no ideas, decided it could help others and I should post it. It took a few weeks to fill it out this extensively and I have no more interest in adding to it, so please don’t bother suggesting anything （；￣д￣）

"It's too much? No, it's perfect."

"You think I'd let you get away twice?"

"Smile for the camera, baby."

"Do you wish it was [name] touching you instead?"

"You wouldn't be this wet/hard if you didn't want this."

"You can cum if I get to, how does that sound? It's only fair."

"This is wrong, you shouldn't be letting me do this."

"Look what you do to me."

"Get on your knees, baby. It's the least you could do after everything I've done for you."

"Just the tip, I promise."

"I haven't even started yet."

"I need this. Let me have this."

"Where do you think you're going?"

"This is all you're good for."

"Let me give you something to touch yourself to when I'm gone."

"Show them what I taught you."

"You think I wanted this?"

"If you don't stop squirming I'll have to tie you up."

"What should I do with you first?"

"You'll get it when I've decided you've earned it."

"It's supposed to hurt."

"I hate to do this, but you're giving me no choice."

"I'm sorry. You really don't deserve this."

"Let's give them a show."

"Beg for it."

"If we shouldn't be doing this... why does it feel so good?"

"I'll make it fit."

"Don't worry, sweetheart. I always know what's best for you, don't I?"

"It feels so much better than I imagined."

"What happened? You were begging for this five minutes ago."

"Shh. Go back to sleep."

"I'll be good, please..."

"You're awfully wet for someone who keeps complaining."

"Did I say you could stop?"

"Let them use you, baby. Show them what a good toy you are."

"Stop lying (to yourself)."

"Don't you want to feel good? You know you want to."

"I knew you'd be a good girl for me and take it... you got so messy on my fingers, I just had to do it. Doesn't my cock feel so much better?"

"I could touch you right now and no one would even notice."

"Did you miss me?"

"Baby, I'm sorry... I just couldn't wait."

"If I don't do this, someone else will."

"You're so pretty when you cry."

"Don't be silly. Of course you want that."

"You're such a slut for making me enjoy this."

"If you actually loved me you'd have done it without me having to ask first."

"Come on baby, be good for him. Open your mouth."

"If you want me to stop, then look me in the eye and lie convincingly."

"You'll take it because I said so."

"It's for your own good, doll. Don't be so ungrateful."

"Does he/she fuck you like this?"

"You don't remember last time? Here, let me show you."

"This is all your fault."

"Do you beg your girl/boyfriend for it like this?"

"We're going to have so much fun."

"Is this turning you on? That's disgusting."

"Sweetheart... you trust daddy more than you trust yourself. Don't you?"

"Apologize for making me do this to you."

"I promise I'll pull out." + "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself." + "It won't make a difference now, just one more, yeah?"

"You're so fucked up for loving this."

"I'm not pushing you. I'm just removing the excuses."

"Put it back in."

"Even if they could hear you, no one would care."

"It'll feel better soon."

"Stop touching you? You don't really want that."

"Let them hear us. I want them to know you belong to me."

"There's something seriously wrong with you."

"See? I knew you wanted this."

"If you really loved me you'd let me do anything."

"It's kind of fucked up how wet you get when you pretend you don't want it."

"Aww, it's too big? Better get used to it then."

"You can only get off when I hurt you. It's pathetic."

"What would your girl/boyfriend think if they could see you like this?"

"You really thought I'd stop if you begged me to? Cute."

as someone with a speech impediment, all of the people saying that only one type of stuttering is valid are wrong.

stuttering CAN look like this: "t-this is a-an example s-s-sentence"

OR this: "this-this is an example sen-sentence."

OR this: "t-t-t-th-..t-ttttthis is an example sentence."

OR this: "this is, uhm, an example, uh, sentence."

OR this: "this is an example sssssss-sentence."

OR this: "this is an examp-...this an example sentence."

sometimes the sentence won't even come out of your mouth at all.

there are probably many examples i'm forgetting, but that's the point! it usually is a mix of a few of these, but some people do one of them more often than others! some people with speech impediments have certain sounds that they almost consistently have trouble with (for me it's "st").

people with speech impediments also rarely-if ever-stutter whilst they're singing or whispering.

most importantly!!!! people with speech impediments are capable of saying a sentence without stuttering!! it can just be a gamble sometimes.

and if more people could portray the frustration that comes with stuttering and not being able to get words out, i'd be a very happy girl.

(fun fact: sometimes when my mouth won't let me say what i want to say, i get so annoyed that i just yell or grumble out "WORDS.")

Its like.........uh- like when.... when— fuck nevermind
