i had this random idea on how to challenge writer's block and thought some other writers might want to try it out :)

if you end up writing something, tag it #love-hate challenge because i'd love to see what y'all come up with!

everyone has the characters they love and the characters they don't like as much (or just downright despise). same with fanfic tropes. so why not try to reconcile yourself with one you don't like by combining it with something you love?

there are two options for this challenge:

write a story trope you just can't stand with a favorite character

write a character you dislike with a trope you love to read or write

𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕪 𝕨𝕣𝕚𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘!

what advice would my oc give to yours? and vice versa

the idea is that a person brings the problem of their oc (perhaps from said oc’s pov?) into another writer’s askbox, and that other person’s oc gives advice on how to deal with the problem.

I have recently got back into doing some writing. This writing has been multi-chaptered.

So, here is a trick I am going to share that I learned from knitting socks. There is a thing called “second sock syndrome” which is when you finish one sock but can’t seem to get around to starting the second. So, when I finish a sock I IMMEDIATELY cast on the second sock and just knit a few rows.

Not even, always, the end of a chapter. If I reach a place where there should be a scene break, I write the next few sentences so I have a launching off point the next time I sit down to write.

Deep and Dark, Beautiful and Bright (referred to affectionately as the second chance wip) • High Fantasy, New Adult?

Deep in the forest, two people wake up with no memories. The world they stumble into is scarred and ruined—something terrible has happened here, long ago. Stumbling upon a treasure hunting party, they are relieved to find that a remnant of humanity has managed to survive, making their homes among the ruins of a past age. But when their memories begin to resurface, they are forced to question if they can really trust each other.

Decades earlier, Trip is desperate to escape from a life of dishonor by joining the order of the sentinels, responsible for keeping the peace and protecting the realm from the dangers that lurk in the wild places. But it’s difficult when his history as a thief is literally branded onto his skin. When his secret is revealed, he has no choice but to prove his worth stealing Nesotor’s key—an object of myth which has been stuck for centuries in the keyhole of a mysterious door, and which no one has been able to turn or remove for the lock, until now. Never mind that the key doesn’t turn for him either. He is, after all, the son of the greatest picklock in the world.

At the same time, Lya returns to the capital city as a permanent guest of the highking. Her status as the prophesied Chosen of Tarinthe makes her an untouchable religious figure, but also a target. Her plans to lie low and avoid the cutthroat politics of the highking’s court are thwarted when a prophecy previously thought to be unrelated to her begins to come true, and the ancient words are reinterpreted. Now, she is tasked with protecting the realm from a great threat before it’s too late, a task which would be overwhelming even if she hadn’t started to suspect that she isn’t who she’s supposed to be.

tl;dr bi disaster pretends to be the chosen one in order to get his criminal record erased, ruining the life of a different (so-called) chosen one in the process. Chaos ensues, the apocalypse is triggered. Many years later, they both wake up remembering nothing and have to figure out what the heck happened. 

Hey everyone! I've had my writeblr intro as a pinned post for a long time but I realized that you don't actually get to see any of my WIPs on it because they're all at the bottom! So I'm remaking it and turning it into a sort of masterpost (that I can edit and add to as I make more and more WIP intros etc)!

Facts You Should Know/About Me:

my name is Dori, I'm 23, and I use they/them pronouns primarily (but will answer to anything tbh), I'm as queer as they come, and am also autistic with a dash of BPD!

I'm currently getting my masters in creative fiction and I've been writing as long as I can remember. I'm also an AVID D&D PLAYER and I've been DMing off and on for the past few years! (I also love Solo RPGs and Journaling Games, so hit me up for recs!)

I'm primarily a writer of science fiction, fantasy, horror, magical realism, speculative fiction, that kind of thing. If it seems unrealistic, I'm your bitch. Also most of my stories will feature heavy LGBTQ+ themes.

I'm OPEN TO ASKS, TAGS, TAG GAMES, REQUESTS, ALL OF IT! Please interact with me, I love new friends!

My WIPs:

See here for a full list, but I'll do brief summaries about the ones I post about most!

To Make a Fool of Death - Verity's story. We follow a vampire as she meets and falls for four people over the course of her too-long life. Three of the four meet tragic and painful ends. Will the fourth one end the same way? Will Verity learn that you don't have to be human to experience love, pain, and grief? Who's to say. JOIN THE TAGLIST HERE! (posts tagged with "Fool of Death")

The Unkind Current - Frequently referred to as "Bog Witch" or "Angharad," this is a vague sleeping beauty retelling, about a woman who goes to sleep in a swamp that wants to destroy all the villages nearby that work ceaselessly to worship it. The woman was supposed to protect the village. Does she even want to anymore? And what about that intriguingly pretty woman who woke her up, hm? (posts tagged with "Angharad" or "Bog Witch" or "The Unkind Current")

Watch The River Burn - Araminta hasn't seen her ex-girlfriend since she left without saying goodbye three years prior. She's back in town now, and not only is she ready to ask for forgiveness, but she's ready to escape her abusive family and say goodbye to her hometown forever. But first, she needs said ex's help for a task that she really would rather not do alone. (posts tagged with "Araminta" or "Watch The River Burn")

Of course, there's more, I post about my short fiction and other OCs and things randomly, but those three are at the front of my mind!

Feel free to shoot me a message anytime if you want to be friends or even just talk, I'm always open!
