One Of My Favorite Tropes Is When Your Group Of Main Characters Has Been Split Up For Questioning And

one of my favorite tropes is when your group of main characters has been split up for questioning and they’re all answering the same questions in a neatly-spliced montage

Is this a problem?

Author's Note: Oh boy!  What a year it has been!  I have so much to say, but I'll try to keep this as brief as possible.  I've learned and grown so much as a writer over the course of this year!  This is the first whole year I've actively written and kept track- in detail- of everything I worked on, how long I worked on it, and what projects I finished and when!

I'm so happy and grateful for everyone who supported me, talked with me, and joined me on this crazy adventure!  From the experiment to sharing ideas to fun interactions and making jokes, I'm thankful for it all and will look back on it fondly!

Here's to another year! 🥂

Poem: The Legacy of the Poem Tree

we were talking about fanfics

editor: So, would you accept that people write with your characters?

author next to me: Absolutely not! They're mine. I wouldn't like that at all.

me, blinks: But that's a great way to be known! People love your story and characters so much it inspires them to create. That's how fandoms grow.

other author: Maybe, but I wouldn't like it all.

me: Fair, to each their own.

(but in my mind i was like "enjoy obscurity I guess." There are four fanfics about my first novel and they're my jewels. I stare at my ao3 page when I feel down. my goal is to have my own ao3 category.)

other author: I wouldn't want other people to write my story, but badly.

me: lol what you don't want is people writing your story but better.
