my mutuals are the best writers !!!! they write the prettiest poetry and rhe prettiest stories and they OWN their craft and their styles !!! are so unique and enchanting i want to DROWN in them

V is okay!

but i love that for both of them. overly dramatic because something is new or because you love it and so does your partner

2 for clh for the oc nominations! also how are you oleg?

Heyyy, V! (is it okay if I call you V?) Doing fine, thanks! Exam season's approaching and WIPs invading brain simultaneously, good times...

2. Whiniest bitch?

I'd say it's Louis, a newly undead monster hunter, but given his circumstances he can be somewhat understood. Still overdoing it with the constant "woe is me". You're undead, you're not happy about it, we get it. Just, chill a little, won't you?

Evgeny takes second place because he's just overly dramatic about everything, so after half an hour you just want to open his settings and tune the theatre kid down a little. Kudos to Lev for living with that for centuries out of his own volition.

Your first draft is not terrible.

It is not any sort of insulting name you call it.

It is a baby.  A young, inexperienced baby that might throw up on your shirt and cause you to lose sleep at night but you love it all the same and will patiently feed it and tuck it into bed at night with a kiss no matter what happens.

You do not call a baby stupid or awful because they are new to the world and do not have the ability or knowledge to function on their own.  Instead, you nurture and teach them so they grow up smart and strong and capable.

Such it is with a first draft.  A first draft is not bad because it needs care and attention. Don’t insult it because it is newly written down with ideas that are not yet fully formed.  In fact, that is the reason why it is AMAZING.  It’s a DRAFT!  The FIRST one for the story!  LOOK at it!  It exists!  It is ALIVE!  And it is YOURS, this story you made.  

So be proud of your first draft baby and, most importantly, be proud of yourself. 

me [angrily yet softly, through gritted teeth, while crying]: i love to write

The trick to leaving amazing comments on fanfic (if you’re nervous to comment/have nothing to say)

Sometimes, I see people who want to comment on fics, but are shy, nervous, or just don’t think they have anything to say. So, here’s the trick to low-effort but amazing comments:

- copy-paste your favourite line from the fic into your comment.

- add an emoji showing how it made you feel, or write what it made you think.

- That’s it. That’s the entire comment.

“But that’s so low-effort, won’t that disappoint the author?” Firstly: no, authors in general love any positive feedback. English teachers aren’t grading your comments. Authors will love that you bothered to say anything no matter what you say, so long as it isn’t mean. There’s no situation where this is a concern.

Secondly: authors love this kind of comment. It’s my favourite. It demonstrates that you engaged with the text, which s always super flattering, and additionally provides extremely useful data. We want to know what lines stood out to you the most, to be worth commenting on! We want to know what they made you feel or think! Again, this isn’t an English essay; pasting your favourite joke and attaching a laughing emoji is enough! This kind of data helps us improve as writers and demonstrates that our work made somebody think or feel something. It’s great.

So there’s the tip. If you want to comment, but have nothing to say, copy-paste your favourite line and add a reaction. Works every time.

Having a friend inspire a new WIP is like: you are my muse, my inspiration, you make me imagine entire worlds with ease, if you do this again I WILL bite-
