Disappointment Room

First, I had this fic idea back in November of 2025 at around 2 am, wrote it down in my phone's notes app, and then uploaded it to Ellipsus when I actually started writing the fic.

Notes for the fic that updated as I went along

Next, the comic for the Fic came from the BillDip Discord server, where I was complaining about Dipper not cooperating while writing the fic. (80% of the editing went to word changes/makeing them consistent and Dipper; the other 20% was just stuff in.)

Mwah to everyone in that server!

There is no cucked Sona in the actual fic

I got the Ellipsus 7-day free trial to show my writing history. (I'm kinda upset that a really important feature is paywalled, but the reason I moved from docs is that smut does tends to be removed from there.)

I don't think I will have access to it later :(

Onelook Thesaurus is my Holy Grail, and Grammarly is my Clarent, as it helped with my dyslexic spelling mistakes; it also gave me useless suggestions—even as I type this sentence, Grammarly wants me to change Clarent to clarifier. My dyslexia is also why I changed the font from Literata to Open Sans.

(It was a lot of 'dismiss suggestion' pressing, but I'm used to that.)

NERD ALERT!

I did a lot of research for this fanfiction.

I think I said this in my previous post, but I'm used to analytical essays and/or research papers. I went back into my college textbooks: Gioia, Dana, and R. S. Gwynn. The Art of the Short Story. 2006 for this LOL (It's a really good book!) I also looked up how to write dialogue properly because I realized I was doing it wrong—or could do it better—almost 1.5k words in—whoops!

I like to write whatever comes to mind on my phone’s notes app(s). I tend to forget about them 90% of the time, but while looking for screenshots for this post, I found some I might actually revisit and do something with.

Some I might not...

That's pretty much everything! I put a lot of work into 1.8K words, and I am very proud of the end result. I wanted to share the hardship I went through! It was a lot of fun, and I was very nervous after posting it.
