a million times this. “I don’t like these xyz fics” then don’t read them. THEY ARE NOT FOR YOU!!!!!!! no one forces you to read anything you don’t want to read. no one forces you to consume art you don’t enjoy. it’s so easy to click that mute or block button. instead of insulting fanfics or fan art for not fitting your personal liking, either choose something that does fit your personal liking, or write the fic you want to read yourself / draw the art you want to consume yourself.

How to write a Compelling Ending!!

─ · · The ending should answer the question your first chapter asked. If chapter one promised your character wants something specific, the ending has to actually resolve that, even if the resolution isn't what they wanted going in. A character spending the whole book trying to get back home, and the ending is them realizing they don't want to go back anymore, still answers the question. It just answers it differently than they expected to.

─ · · DON'T RUSH IT!! earned endings genuinely take up space, and that's not the same as padding. If your climax took ten pages to build and land, the emotional aftermath deserves at least a few pages too, bc readers who just sat through the biggest moment of the book need a beat to actually feel the weight of it before you close things out.

─ · · Give the reader ONE quiet scene after the climax. Let everyone breathe together before you shut the book on them. This is the scene where nothing BIG happens, characters just exist in the aftermath, maybe eating something, maybe sitting in silence, and it matters way more than it looks like on the page.

─ · · Not everything needs to be tied in a neat little bow. some threads are genuinely allowed to stay open if it actually serves your theme, real endings often leave a few loose edges. But your main character's core arc, the thing the whole book was really about underneath the plot, that one does need to feel complete, even if it's messy or bittersweet.

protect “not x, not y, but z” format.

protect short sentence stacking as a stylistic choice.

protect fanfic writers—who are kind enough to share their works with people to read for free—from ai witch hunts, speculations and accusations.

“don’t like don’t read” also applies to any fic that is ai-generated and any fic you think is ai-generated by the way. if you don’t like what you’re reading for any reason, you can always stop reading and exit the fic at any point. but harassment is never ever justified. no matter if you think you’ve found a noble excuse to do it. and also…

Ever since your yacht accident, has this happened before? That was the first time. Based on my experience so far, it's only when I touch someone with my hands that they see ghosts. I should be fine then. Even if I'm not fine, I'm fine with that too.

No one should look this attractive while dying

"Would you stop acting like you're better than everyone else?"

Turning on and off the safety of their gun. Tapping and spinning their dagger. Watching the poison in the vial move as they flip in and then back.

Nobody says anything because...well they're an assassin.

Turns on safety, presses trigger, turns off safety repeat.

People around them are in constant fear.

Chewing the end of their poison tipped dagger when they try to figure out a plan.

Wash their hands too much cause they don't like how sticky blood is.

However overtime it becomes a weird single to others.

Everyone is anxious trying to figure something out and they hear a little "click click" and it's just slightly calming to know that they have this person there and they are thinking of a plan.

Someone hands them a drink but it flows just a little too weird and they are like, "hmm that's poison" then chuck it because they have built up immunity.

No table that doesn't have something carved into it.

Never a situation where they don't have enough bullets because this person takes out the cartridge and puts it back as stim.

They take apart their guns and put them back over time being crazy fast and efficient with it.
