Hey gang :)

All 26 one shots (that weren’t part of the 25 Christmas one shots, or the four latest mini fics) have now been posted on my AO3 account meaning it is now officially up to date - finally!

So there’s now 558 one shots to get lost in, as well as 17 mini fics and 2 long fics to keep you all going! All accessible on my AO3 account (user: when_you_know_you_know) (masterpost of recent mini fics on AO3 is here)

If you prefer it Tumblr’d - I’m afraid it’s impossible for me to make a masterpost of my one-shots. But here is a masterpost of my mini fics masterposts ;) 

For now, I’m going to have to stop taking one shot prompts (though requests for ‘part 2s’ of original one shots are more than allowed) as I have 269 prompts in my inbox that I’d quite like to get stuck into now that Christmas is over and a new year has begun.

You may have noticed me posting a little less in recent days and that’s purely because my personal life is so full at the moment! My other half and I have bought a house which we’re renovating. We’re expecting a baby soon (which is exhausting in itself, believe me - I’m sleeping so much more while growing my little human that’s kicking around in my belly). And I’m still working full time as a Dr - which isn’t exactly a walk in the park!

Thanks to all of you for your patience and kind messages :) I will continue to post new one shots (as well as reblog old ones I think you may not have read before/haven’t read in a long time), but they’re just taking me a lot longer to write.

Have a fab day you lot, and keep being kind to one another!

I’m a very quick texter (I write my one shots on the Tumblr App on my phone). I have a broad imagination. 30 years of life experience. And a lot of love for Pitch Perfect 🤗

Thank you so much for the compliment! I’ve written around 500 one shots since starting them last Summer as well as several mini fics and a long Fic too. It’s my hobby and I enjoy it.

Plus all of you followers keep fuelling me everyday with your enthusiasm for my work so thank you so much for that. I’m spending a bit of time this afternoon updating my AO3 account so once I’ve done that I’ll post the links 🤓

A huge thank you to ‘Jen’ for buying me a cup of coffee via my Kofi page as a thanks for writing Bechloe one shots 🤗

Don’t worry - as a responsible Mum-to-be I’m now only drinking decaf and finally have time to buy a proper coffee from an actual shop 🙊

Thank you so much again ‘Jen’!!

If you fancy buying me a coffee too then you’re more than welcome to hit my Kofi page:

Kofi Gift*

but only if you want to 🤗 I just often get people asking me how they can go about gifting me something in return. There’s no pressure to actually do it!

Have a great day gang! I’ll have a new one shot for you a little later xx

A huge massive thanks to ‘Jen’ and ‘WhenYouPlayMe’ for buying me a coffee each via my ‘Kofi’ page:

Kofi

I’ll admit I’ve not had a spare five minutes to actually buy said coffee’s but as soon as I do I will and they will certainly fuel me not only at work but when I’m writing 🙊 then I’ll handwrite you both a thank you note and post it on here ❤️

Thank you so much again!

And have a great day 🤗❤️

Hey there anon and thank you so much for getting in touch.

The number one thing to remember when writing is to write for yourself. If you’re writing pre-established characters (ie The Bellas) then what sort of situation would you like to see them in? If you can envision it then write about it. And if you include a bit of personal experience (how did you feel in that situation if you’d been through it?) then that can be helpful and often therapeutic too!

If you’re a bit stuck on how to start then you maaay have noticed that I generally start my one-shots (to get the ball rolling) with either: 

- someone saying something- or one of them waking up - or sat somewhere watching something- or laying somewhere thinking something- or coming home from somewhere - or arriving somewhere

Ask yourself:

- who is your main character going to be in this piece? Write it from their perspective.- Where are they and what time of year is it? Describe it.- Who are they with/thinking about? Describe who they are with/thinking about.

Think of a twist that forces your character to make a decision/change their mind about something:

- Do they realise they have feelings for someone?- Do they decide not to get on that train/flight?- Do they decide to meet up with someone after all?

Think about how they might be feeling in a certain situation and write about it.

I try to keep dialogue to a minimum unless it fuels the storyline (I’m not a fan of a conversation between two people in a story literally being “_____” person 1 said. “______” person 2 replied. “_______” person 1 said. “______” person 2 said. the whole way through a fic. Yeah that may be what they would say to each other but add something more, like how one of them is pretty angry when saying those things and is balling their fists in fury by their sides or something.. - anyway that’s personal preference, sorry!)

Um..I hope all of this is helpful to get you started anon. I just advise you go for it and get writing. Perhaps instead of overwhelming yourself with writing a super long fic or one-shot just start with a nice short one-shot to start yourself off?

If it’s Bechloe you ship then why not just start with them laying side by side in bed together in Brooklyn. Maybe it’s early morning? Maybe it’s late at night? Maybe it’s mid-afternoon? Maybe one of them is sleeping and the other is watching them sleep? Are they together or is one of them secretly pining after the other? There wouldn’t be any need for dialogue (unless the person sleeping woke up of course) but it would be a good opportunity to practice your description of the apartment/weather/characters :)

Above all things just keep writing little one shots - the more practice the better you’ll become and hopefully your worries will be put to one side and you can enjoy writing :) I highly recommend everyone to have a go at writing!

To everyone who has messaged me with support over the past 20 mins or so. You guys are so awesome.

I’ve got to the bottom of not only the anons but why they feel I’ve ‘plaigarised’. Unfortunately for them, there was genuinely no plagiarism involved so that must make them feel a little silly.

I shouldn’t have to say this but I will: all my writing and work is my own. Any original characters I write in the Pitch Perfect universe are my own. The idea of new Bellas involving the old Bellas is not an original concept, I agree, but it has been one that’s been floating around the fandom for a good year or so (and new Bellas is something that even Kay Cannon confirmed was likely of a sequel). As a result I took this concept and created an original script with it.

I’m a huge supporter of believing that anyone and everyone can write fanfiction, whether they’ve done it lots before or not. Yes it’s scary but it’s also freeing and exciting.

Authors gain inspiration from real life events. From something they’ve seen. Even perhaps a tiny prompt. It is more than likely that readers will recognise even a little something - especially when the characters involved are well known and loved.

So try to embrace that gang, rather than shoot down those who work hard to write and produce these fics for you. Writing isn’t our full time job. We’re normal people who like to share our stories with you. So if you have a problem with it, message us off anon and we can talk about it like proper human beings.

Be kind to one another ❤️ that’s what this fandom is about..

I’ve FINALLY got around to posting the one shots I wrote on here over the past few weeks!!

That’s 37 one-shots to bring the total of ‘Post-PP3 viewing one shots’ to 152 stories!

You can find them all here

Have a great night gang!

It sucks that I’ve had to spend this evening chasing up ‘Wattpad Thief’ instead of writing you guys a one shot, but I’m pleased that drama might be over now.

Tomorrow morning’s post will be the next chapter of Cupid’s Touch (woohoo - finally!) and Bechloe’s Cupid will be trying to get them together in ‘The Shower Scene’ 😉
