Happy STS! Your Story Gets Told From Someone Else's Perspective. Whose Is It?

Happy STS! Your story gets told from someone else's perspective. Whose is it?

I’m answering this a bit late, whoops!

I love this question! For A New Infection (which is largely abandoned save for the characters but is still one of my stories) I might tell if from the perspective of an infected for a feel of disconnect and mystery surrounding the main trios actions. I think it would be a different way of telling the story.

For my current wip (which I need to fix the title for) I would probably pick a character to have pov, potentially splitting the book into multiple parts and having everyone take a turn. It’s going back to what I typically do, but I’d love to see more inside their heads than I do now with the way I’m writing

I just can't help myself *shrugs*

Sending love to you tori! And happy STS!! What is the most self indulgent piece of lore you have?

Hey, love! Thanks for the ask!

Oh my gosh, okay. It's not in any piece I've mentioned before, mostly because it's a work I haven't touched since I was probably 13.

BUT I have a world and story where being a mermaid is literally a genetic trait as simple as getting brown eyes. I am obsessed with mermaids, in every mythology, form, and fashion I can find them in. (Also: they're real.) So, of course, I wrote a story where the lore makes it so mermaids can exist alongside people-- if with its own challenges.

what people think writing is: worldbuilding, churning out entire chapters in one sitting, metaphors, character building, finishing novels, flawless plotlines

what writing actually is: random 1 am thoughts, zoning out into fictional worlds, associating songs with characters, writer’s block for six weeks at a time, coming up with plot twists at the most inconvenient times

@pagesofcursive

y’all know that trope where two people have been separated/apart and when they finally see each other they’re practically clinging to each other and you can practically feel the happiness and relief radiating off of them? that’s my crack

I made this callout meme for me and me specifically
