“what’ve you been doing to cope with the pain that you won’t be able to see all your friends here together?”

dust off old beats i made a year ago and finally posting it

MY FRIEND

Do you have any idea how many people have told me this? Even people I’ve know on this site forever xD 

first of all, thank you! i appreciate it <3

as for your questions, it seems like you’re asking both about how much information to give in a scene, especially at the beginning, without it being too much? lemme know if that’s not right

my rule of thumb for writing is to write what you would like to see as a reader. like i, as a reader, like to learn about the world while followinga character through their life. if something happens that’s out of the ordinary, i show that by the protag’s reaction and other character’s. i generally like to avoid exposition (tho it’s sometimes necessary AND it’s also a style thing)

i certainly don’t know everything that’s gonna happen in a story when i’m writing the first chapter. A Royal Soulmate’s main plot has changed a few times since i started writing it. but it works because my first few chapters build the world without putting much down firmly since i describe what the characteres do and not what the rules are for soulmates, which means i’m not trapped by it. it’s given me a lot of room to breathe in terms of plot and mechanics

my first post about my music! 

this was a birthday present for my good friend @lhugbereth, a lot of back and forth going on with this song but i’ve finished finalizing it and happy with the results. 

since i had such a blast doing this, i’ve got motivation to make more music now, holla! first i gotta promote my other tracks, so stay tuned!!!

HAH. The real question is, why the hell can’t I ever keep things short lol 

Honestly, though. Working on stories with plot, it’s easy to hit 5k+ with world building, set up, dialogue, suspense.... Most story ideas out there are far too vast and explorable to even contain in a short fic, and trying just gets frustrating after a while (like those Ignoct drabbles I did last year, where the goal was 200-300 words max and I went over by at least double every.freaking.time. 

Lol I did set up a paypal account dude :) It took a while and a lot of hassle, but it’s up and running. The problem was keeping in contact with the winners of the auction. Long story short, the first person overpaid and then, after I declined the money, ignored the next ten (that’s an exaggeration) emails I sent. So back to the drawing board of starting the auction over.

There are still seven unsold sets (including the Promptis ones) which you can see in detail 

6. Do you share your work before it’s finished?

It changes now and again. Sometimes, me and @liesarebullets-mouthsagun will exchange fics we’re writing and look over it for each other for edits and general criticism (which I really appreciate as I can make things unclear), and I have a few friends IRL who are really good at editing that help me look for grammatical errors and such.

Oddly enough, these were all the works I posted to Ao3. I have old works on FF.net that I never had people look at before posting. I... guess that moving onto a new platform changed how I interacted with people? I only just realized this now.

Right now, I have something in the works that I’m working on (and hoping to make a build up of chapters for) before I post it. The reason for this is because this fic is probably really personal for me, and I’m not comfortable sharing some of this stuff openly with close friends and having to explain it.

13. Which authors or styles do you try to emulate in your writing?

I do my best to not emulate a lot of people when I write and stick with my own style, as I tend to do a certain... thing where I tend to emulate whatever it was I recently read unintentionally. This can mess up something that’s either a multi-chap fic or something I was in the middle of writing.

6. Grossest memory?

When I was around 5 or so at a county fair I remember some bigger kids pushed me out of my place in line for the ride called the zipper. You can flip upside down as you get rotated around a paperclip like shape.  Joke was on them because they threw up the entire time they were on the ride. All of the food that they had eaten spewed out of their car. It was really gross.
