hello! hope ur doing fine :D im writing this ask to kinda get help(?) KSJSJ for writing fics?? like do you have any tips on writing fics / one shots etc? i love ur works and wanted to get into writing so 👉👈

hi anonie!!!

first of all, can i just say how flattered i was??? this made my day. im glad you like my works!!

and secomd of all, i think it varies based on the person.

But one thing i will say is: dont convert writing into work.

By that i mean write when you want to or when you feel like writing. Don't force yourself to write. If you force yourself the thing that was once a good past time will become a chore for you.

I started writing because i always had so many ideas in my head and i would constantly build on them and because of that my head was so crowded. Imagine a laptop with 1246 tabs open. That was my head.

For writing fics i think the best advice that i can give is to start with a sentence you dont think you'll hear, like ever because that kind of grasps attention. and you know how some people say planning is the best? well it helps but if youre like me, i love to write based solely on vibes and an overall image and then i wing it. The story starts writing itself.

Best thing is to put yourself in that position and then write. Writing it from an author's perspective might leave some blanks or holes you dk how to cover.

Pinterest is my bestfriend. If you aren't sure what vibes you're getting, search it up. make a collage, a board, then write. It helps loads.

For example, i started my black eye fic thinking that ill write it about vernon but it ended up about seokmin because i realised it fit him more. I also had no idea what or how to start writing so i pinterest-ed and based it on the photos i saw.

My what do you even know? fic was originally about wonwoo or maybe even cheol but then halfway i impulsively changed it to seungkwan. The reason was somwthing weird like 'but cheol doesn't wake up early to go on runs'

Also something i discovered recently. Sometimes it is easier to write an smau then an actual fic. The corpse flowers au was fully planned out in my head but no matter what i did i couldn't word it. So i didn't. I made it into an smau.

For oneshots i think the best strategy is to pick one (and only one) situation/scene and stick with that. Once that scene is over, that's it. Think of an oneshot like a descriptive essay. Only write what's happening then and there. You dont need that much of a backstory. Instead of writing about how you and bf met, just introduce the character as 'my/your boyfriend'.

For me the biggest issue is never knowing how to stop. And i learned this super recently but as soon as your prompt or original scene finishes, end it.

Oneshots are like little timeframes so just pause a moment and describe that as much as you can.

Honestly, personally speaking, i always write as if said prompt or thing was happening to me. What would i want a bf to behave like? Or i replace it with anyone else who i know well. This way you can remain assured that its realistic enough.

For smaus, wing it. Seriously. I have no idea what to tell you except just wing it.

Also don't ever feel shitty if it's not working out. Give yourself a break. It doesn't matter what. If a certain fic cant be written according to your personal standards, leave it and start another one if you want.

But sometimes the best thing to do is write on actual paper. When you cant think up anything good writing on paper with a pen helps because you cant delete it. Don't look back and keep writing. Then just edit + proofread at the end. My jun soulmate au ia currently being written like that.

Another piece of advice that i think is really important (personally). Wait before you reread or check a fic. Don't edit it just after you finish writing it. Sometimes your brain might skim over the actual mistakes in a fic. Checking/editing it after a day or even a couple of hours works best.

And lastly and most importantly:

Do not pressure yourself

Its a hobby, for fun. Dont make yourself hate writing. It's gonna suck ass.

Dont shy out of needing hiatuses. Its okay. Sometimes a break is exactly what you need most to get the creative juices flowing.

Anyway thank you anonie!! I hope my ramblings worked, i still think you need to find what suits you best as a person but i hope these helped somewhat!!

“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches it’s arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action—

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”

-Rabindranath Tagore

I am pretty shocked with the discussions about the election results happening on tumblr. It is truly disappointing to see how many of the so called educated youth have been misinformed or are, just too lazy to research about events before forming any opinion on them.

So, bear with me because this is going to be a long ass post.

When one decides to chose the future of one's country, they have to research the options available to them before giving the judgement. And the research should come from watching the ground reality and also delving into the feasible resources available to one.

The foremost resource people go to is the news channels and newspapers. And l am assuming everyone knows that all media houses, both regional and national are bought by individual parties. Same is the issue with the international media. They will never give you completely unbiased information.

In India, the media houses are all differentiated by being allied with the right wingers and the left wingers. The international media houses are mostly pro left as are the print media on the internet. Research the origin of their channels and who are present in their board.

You will understand everything better.

So, while seeing the news, we'll have to go through a multiple number of channels and what side they are taking, their perspectives and their own narratives, to even get some measure of the truth.

Research the history of the nation, their international relationships with other countries, the geopolitical state of the world, the individual agendas and interests of powerful people in powerful posts, worldwide.

Every single thing is interrelated and interlinked like one massive spider web.

Look at the money trail my friends. See how the parties are getting funded and who are the ones holding the actual strings behind the scenes.

The recent youth upsurge on social media is divided in their opinion but how many of them are actually aware with what is actually impacting the political roadmap of the country?

Dhruv Rathee (reminds me of Kanhaiya Kumar and the JNU nonsense), and his infamous videos - the national sensation of late has taken the youth by storm.

Why?

Do you even know who he is? Who is his political godfather? Who is putting money in his coffers?

He coined the term dictatorship and fascist government.

And that is the most popular words I have seen been used with regards to the ruling party.

My dearly beloved oblivious friends, have you even done two percent research on your source before believing him.

Okay, lets forget about that German cockroach.

Let us talk about dictatorship and fascism.

Which policy decision taken by the Government made you believe that they were a dictatorship?

Every single decision they had taken was constitutional, following the constitution by letter, which their main opposition had made and drafted and had been following since the last seventy years when they were in power.

Which one? Abrogation of Article 370? The CAA? The Ram Mandir?

The Ram Mandir construction was a decision taken by the Supreme Court in a verdict of over 3000 pages. The SC which has proved time and again that they are mostly anti-Modi.

Or are you blaming the ED for arresting Kejriwaal before the elections? The same ED whose summons the aforenoted had ignored for nine straight times? The same ED which had investigated both Modi and Shah during Congress's rule. The ED which brough hard evidence to support their claims in front of the SC who charged the Delhi CM.

The Delhi CM who after getting bail flouted all the rules mentioned by the SC as terms of his temporary release. The same CM whose secretary allegedly assaulted a female party member who has been seen voraciously campaigning for his own release.

Do you even know how one man with apparent crowd funding became the leader of one of the most powerful regional parties in the North west belt? Do you know which institutions supported his party? Do you know anything about Swati Maliwal and her personal life? Do you have any idea whose allegiance the Punjab CM follows? Do you know why Raghav Chaddha needed an eye operation post haste during Kejriwaal's arrest? Do you know why Sanjay Singh defected?

And what kind of a dictator our PM is, who lets anyone and everyone speak whatever they wish about him?

Do you think the American President or the UK PM or any western leader so to speak, would have let any person spewing nonsensical shit about them, roam free without any repurcurssions?

Things like 'Chowkidar chor hain (our PM is a thief)' and 'I will cut down the PM to pieces' or 'Modi is a dictator' or 'the PM is stupid' or 'the Sanatanis should be annihilated' are direct extracts from the individual speeches given by the opposition and certain social media content creators.

I didn't see either of Rahul Gandhi, Udaynidhi Stalin, Manishankar Iyyer or Dhruv Rathee or anyone else be incarcerated.

Asaduddin Owaisi will start screaming and shouting that the Muslims are endangered in this country and the people of his community will go and kill the hindus for no reason at all. But when Stalin's brainless heir starts shouting about cutting down Sanatani Hindus, I can't find the internet audience protesting against such hateful words.

Then there are the so called woke pseudo liberals on the internet who bemoan that the Government is fascist and the country will go to ruin when a mosque which has been legally proved to have been constructed after demolishing a temple by invaders (whom the same community urges us to not consider as their ancestors) is deconstructed.

The ruling party whose manifesto since generations have included the building of that particular temple. Of course it is a political move you idiots. That was one of the reasons the party was voted to power.

One of, mind you.

To the literate population of the harrowed halls of this platform who will start yelling about schools and hospitals, do you know how many have been built since the ruling government came to power? Have you done any statistical research on how many the opposition you think is better, has built in their own won constituencies?

Has anyone researched the numbers pertaining to the economic growth of the country? The GDP increase rate? The market values? The international trade exchange policies? The infrastructural developments on field? The scientific enhancements? The geopolitical power moves?

Why the hell do you think India supported Russia during the Ukraine war? Do you even know two percent of what is happening in Palestine and Israel? Why do you think America pokes its abysmally long nose in our internal matters which is completely unsolicited?

The same people who hate the PM love some of his cabinet members equally. Before accusing the supporters of blind loyalty, check if your all consuming hatred towards an individual is warranted to be reflected on the work he has done and the people he has handpicked for distributing the posts of power in his government.

Respected illustrious future citizens of my great nation, do you think bureaucrats with the knowledge and experience which by far supersedes all of yours and mine included, would have aligned themselves with a so called orthodox, regressive, majoritarian party?

Ashwini Vaishnav, S. Jaishankar, Nitin Gadkari and many more, with their incredible resumes and work to show, are part of the BJP, don't forget. Who do you want to replace them? The Congressi Gandhi family slaves? Or do you want Kapil Sibal back in the education ministry, or better Law and Order. Jayram Ramesh?

Has anyone ever read about the Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Robert Vadra triangle? Do they know about how Kamal Nath ties into it all? What do they know about the mass murder of the Nepali royal family? Do they have any idea about the MOUs the Gandhis owe to China. What do you know about the accession of Aksai Chin? Why do you think Rahul Gandhi turned stark raving mad at the Rafael deal?

Have any of you seen any of the photos leaked from the NGO meetings RaGa attended in Washington?

And the Kashmir Issue? Has anyone ever followed Mehbooba Mufti and Farukh Abdullah's political career? Or is everything too taken in by Omar Abdullah's Oxfordian accent like they do with Shashi Tharoor. Do they know anything about the separatists of the Valley?

The people prancing around in BJP's loss in UP and Bengal and TN. What do you know about the ground reality there? Have you ever followed the socioeconomic tapestry of these states? The Dravidianism of the South, the Periyar ideology, the rice bag converts in TN? The demographic change based on vote bank in Bengal? The hawala money network from the Gulf and Syria making inroads in Kerala and their communist government?

Do you have any idea about the Agniveer Scheme and why was it brought on ground and why did it fail? Why the government couldn't carry on with the farm laws?

Do know why TDP In Andhra is BJP's long term alliance partner? Do you know why Nitish Kumar keeps swinging between parties? Do you have any idea about why Shivsena decided to break the alliance in the last term?

Has anyone seen where the wrestlers of Haryana were getting their funding from, during the state polls. Do you know the entire story of why Sakshi Malik decided to join politics? Have you any idea about their list of demands made to the centre?

Or did you all just decide that the government should fall because a few elite looking, erudite and sophisticated silver tongued devils on the media start coining elaborately bombastic terms and it is just in fashion to debunk the right wing because of the post colonial, ultra modernistic rationale which has been normalised by the west.

Now, I am not saying that the BJP is completely incorruptible and they have done no mistake. Every party has their hidden skeletons and agendas. What I am saying is before forming an opinion based on a few half baked, propagandist information sources - do your homework.

No one had stopped the opposing parties from showing their own work by developing the areas where they were in majority. No one had stopped the opposition from outshining the ruling government by bringing in better solutions. No one had even stopped them from spreading outright false and hateful narratives in the press.

So, where is the work? I can't even find it with a magnifying glass.

I think, they forgot that the work of an opposition party is not only opposing any and all policies and decisions made by the ruling party.

Like I have mentioned before, I am happy with the results even if all of us, including myself had envisioned a much bigger margin for the win for BJP.

As mentioned in one of my earlier posts, no single person or party should feel like they are invincible. The moment complacency starts coming in the picture, the downward spiral begins.

And then, like they say, 'Absolute power corrupts absolutely'.

So, it was imperative for the ruling government to understand that even though the honest citizens of the country will stand with them when they work, they can be easily dethroned if they start getting overconfident and developing an inflated sense of their own infallibility.

Having said all that, this is politics my friend.

This is chess not ludo.

It is a far more complicated and complex game than any of us can ever imagine.

Edit: Okay, I think people might misunderstand what I am trying to say here. This post is not a general debate on politics and politicians. This is debunking the leftist propaganda and their bullshit agenda. Please do not come in my comments uttering nonsense about why you haven't showcased the faults of the government. I have specifically mentioned that they have their cons as well, just I believe that the pros overshadow the cons. And why I believe so, you'll find in the answers to the questions I have posted.

I have always been rather fascinated by Arjuna's disguise as Brihannala during the Pandavas' incognito period in the 13th year.

I mean, here's a man - the archer supreme, warrior extraordinaire, one of the deadliest fighters of his era, the supposed symbol of masculinity and virility disguising himself as a eunuch.

I mean, Urvashi's curse came later but Arjuna did learn dance and music from the King of Gandharvas - Chitrasena of Indra's court during his stay in Amaravati. He didn't necessarily need to learn it but he did, only because the man had such an insatiable hunger for learning.

Even at a stature where he had systematically defeated, Indra, all the other Gods and Chitrasena himself in battle before, at different points in his life.

He still took them all as his teachers and gave them the respect they deserved.

Even for dance - an art form traditionally reserved for women and nothing which a warrior of his calibre would necessarily need.

Arjuna - the man you are.

WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

What is this gross fetishization and sexualization of Bengali women? I recently came across a reel on Bengali women, and it was a very simple reel. But the comment section 🤮

Men were slut-shaming and hurling creepy insults at Bengali women (even women were doing this). Almost every Bengali woman is apparently sexually active, a bloodsucker, and a man-eater. What is this? Slut-shaming an entire community for no reason at all?

Also, don't get me started on the whole black magic thing. I am tired of black magic jokes; they're not funny anymore. Especially when people are using it to justify their creepy behaviours. It's freaking 2024; you can't just go around calling women witches for being independent and liberal.

(that's not the only thing, they are also making homophobic comments on Bengali men , calling them weak and unable to control their women!

Oh also let me add, Bengali women are not ideal Indian women because they are too out spoken and independent.

OH FUCK YOU!
