One thing I always notice while beta reading: the scenes writers think are “small” can sometimes be the ones readers remember most.
That quiet conversation, tiny gesture, or random detail? Yeah… I noticed it.

Sometimes I beta read a chapter and think, “Oh, I know exactly where this is going.”
Then the author hits me with a plot twist I absolutely did NOT see coming.
Honestly? I love being wrong.
The voices have gotten too strong
I got a new journal for Shades of Red!
Thought it would be perfect, given the red cover and the flower theme 🌼🌺
Sorry for the awkward photo ^^
Hey, so. Is this a scam???
This is the second message I've gotten similar to this. I have it in my pinned post how to actually reach out for Beta applications, and said as much, because I do not take applications through dms. The first person has already been added to the Beta discord server I made, but they have yet to actually interact with ANY of the ellipsus docs for the fic. I just need to know if I should start blocking these people or what, especially when I think it's pretty easy and the normal Tumblr etiquette to check out pinned intros before dming someone.
Anyone have any thoughts or input??

Killing characters is something that is often a part of every story. A good way to make conflict and create a necessary plot point, but it also has to do with being properly executed. On one hand, if one does not kill a character, in certain stories, like those of adventure, it make stakes look shallow and soft. On the other, if someone kills too many characters, it becomes essentially impossible for anyone to grow attached, or even like a character, which often creates a tension which is difficult for writers to overcome. Finding that sweetspot.
The question thus remains, how does one kill off characters properly. It it quite simple to answer, but depends on a story. it is very likely that things such as comfort stories will not require any sort of death for the story to be good, however it is also likely that a high fantasy book, or one of great political intrigue, will need death to fuel stakes of the story. That of course, gives us our answer to what the correct way to go about killing characters is.
In the end, the right way to kill off a character is to kill them when the story demands it. If a character dies, it should fit the narrative of the story. It shouldn't seem forced, and it should either fit the natural course of events for the character's lore and set up, or it should be a reasonable expectation in the framework disposed for the book. Either works, or both, but that hels things not look forced and makes the events flow naturally.
so i just wanna say that if you ever need someone to beta read your fics……. i’m here…..
