I’m soooo late but here I go with my first fic rec : ) 

Title: Saints and Sinners on AO3 and FF

Author: @klavscaroline 

Status: In-progress

Why you should read it: 

If you LOVE both Gossip Girl and Klaroline this is the perfect story for you! It has the very best of both worlds and I absolutely adore it (especially the GG dialogue which is so deliciously on-point).

What I love best:

The storyline is instantly interesting not to mention fast-paced and completely addictive. I love the writing style, visualisation and characterisation. The chemistry between Klaus and Caroline is soooo good, not to mention SO hot in parts! 

There is no denying that I love this author (and her amazing edits) but I could read this type of fic all day everyday. So, let me just say THANK YOU for bringing it to us!

24. Would you say your writing has changed over time?

Absolutely! I started writing officially when I was 12 (so ten years ago) and oh god it was terrible. I had good ideas but I didn’t have the knowledge I have now to produce something in good quality. The biggest things I’ve improved on are grammar, characterisation, and dialogue.

I think that I’ve improved even more in the last two years. Psychedelic Kicks’ first 2 chapters are 2 years old and chapter 3 is over a year old, and honestly, I’m so glad I didn’t continue it until now. I think I have a much better grasp on the three aspects I mentioned above. I think that grammar and characterisation are things that can be taught quite easily, though it does take time ‘absorb’ them, but dialogue is something you can’t teach. You learn how to write dialogue as you age because you start to understand nuances and what a realistic conversation looks like. And that is something you learn by experience.

I think a mistake that newer writers can make (and that I have made in the past) is that when they want to deliver information through dialogue, they give it to the reader too easily, especially with conversations on ‘difficult’ topics. Real people aren’t as forthcoming with certain information. Real conversations have a lot of breaks and interruptions by the environment they’re in and by other people’s speech.

This isn’t to say my writing is perfect because I’m constantly improving but it’s good to look back and realise certain aspects of my style and quality that have changed.

Anyway, thanks for the question and I hope you like my terribly long answer 😂

@suraiya i just read it! it was awesome!! i've never even watched legacies before but you make lizzie such a funny and compelling character. her insults and sass are on point. gahhh if klaus hadn't died in TO, this could've been T_T

ADDS YOUR NAME TO THE SHORT BUT SLOWLY GROWING LIST OF LEGACIES CONVERTS.

also lmao i don’t watch legacies either, just the lizzie-centric episodes. which is amusingly how i also got into tvd - all the kc gifs on tumblr when they first popped up back in 2012. join the club!!
