I Just Got Slapped In The Face Three Times

I just got slapped in the face three times

I am the gay

Reblog this if you AREN'T homophobic.

Just want to see how many of my followers actually reblog this.

quick unofficial survey, reblog this and put the first fandom you read/wrote fanfic for, and how old you were, in the tags

This is actually a really good thought process

I’m gonna need to start taking notes lol

sorry if someone has already asked this, but do you have any advice on starting aus?

ok! so.

[rubs my gay little hands together]

making an au that really feels like Your Own means you do a lot of original designs! don’t be afraid to get weird, get wild, get CRAZY

generally there’s like, 3 categories i divide aus into

1. crossover aus- imagining a series combined w another, whether that be “hlvrai but it’s set in the half life universe” or “hlvrai but they’re in splatoon 2” , for these feel free to diverge from the canon story! you *can* make it so that every character is pretty concrete in their role but like, putting benrey in tartar’s role in a splatoon au would SURELY change his evil plan somewhat

2. theme-based aus- aus where there’s a change in the characters and environment based on a central theme. my example is y2kvr! the theme being the old internet! but other themes can be hlvrai cowboy au, space au, whatever- pick a theme and go nuts! decide how it affects the plot, if at all

3. story-based aus- aus where all the changes branch out from a change in the plot- ie questions like “what if the player was an asshole?” “what if the player was stuck in the game?” “what if bubby never agreed to the betrayal?” stuff like that- basically anything that plays with hlvrai’s canon story and changes it around without major aesthetic changes

so i guess in general, have fun, throw everything at the wall n see what sticks! :)
