J:Write Or Describe An Alternative Ending To The Sun In My Eyes.

J: Write or describe an alternative ending to The Sun In My Eyes.

K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?

L: How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting? (this is a call-out)

Thank you for the ask (I think) @longbobmckenzie!

J: Holy shit. Um.... hmmm. You really went for it huh? Okay, so... Bobby returns from CA and friend zones Lili just like in the game. Only Lili is pissed off. She finds out that he did what he did and she's like, well fuck this noise. She tells Noah not to choose her under any circumstances, knowing Bobby won't choose her. He doesn't. She gets eliminated. He's shocked. She's fine with it. She leaves without any fanfare or tears. Just silent, condemning acceptance that Bobby's an asshole. Then she goes home and licks her wounds and after a solid year of self-pity and hiding, Hope drags her to a show at the Liverpool Comedy Center where she meets a brand new, slightly terrible comedian named Bruno. When the NY Eve party occurs, Lili does indeed attend and she's about four months pregnant with a baby, that will have terrible taste in hairstyles, but will be delightfully snarky. Bobby is shocked and when he tries to talk to her, she has nothing to say because she's getting the D from someone who doesn't have a ton of baggage and she's happy. Bobby is sad and... I don't know. He fucks Priya in a broom closet and that's his low point to realizing he needs help. He doesn't get a happy, romantic ending. Just a hopeful, he'll be okay ending. Or maybe he'll bump into Emily and they'll fall in love. Yeah let's go with that 😆

K: Haha, oh mannnnnn. Honestly nothing is angstier than Lili's backstory. Jesus, I made myself cry with that one. Other than TSIME, I think it's the werewolf fic I've been noodling for ages, which would involve forced marriages and a TWENTY-FIVE YEAR SLOW BURN.

L: You are going for blood tonight 😂 I revise chapters at least four to five times. Let's see, first I write a ton of word vomit/nonsense. Then I go through and do a rough edit to make it make sense. Once it makes sense, I go back and fill in things. Then I pass it off to my beta Sam-- @throughthejunobush--hoping for validation that I'm not as bad of a writer as I believe I am. She gives me amazing notes. I agonize over every decision but eventually clean up the draft, stare at it for two weeks, while I eat candy and weep, obsessing over every detail and all the scene endings I hate. Then I sent it back to Sam and beg her to save me from myself and tell me it's ready to post. And she does. Then I still go back and edit it one more time, because of who I am inside.

It's not a PERFECT process, but it IS a sign of my mental instability 🤣

Hi @aislinnstanaka, thank you for the ask! I already answered these, so I screen capped them here.

For The Fic Ask Game, S, T And Y Please!

For The Fic Ask Game, S, T And Y Please!

Having done the character whose death I couldn't stand ask, I will add Thabi to the short list of characters I'd want to protect.

Thank you!

IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD YA'LL. AHHHHHHH!

So far (I haven't heard the whole thing) Midnight Rain, Anti-hero, and Question...? are my favorites. It's interesting, because usually her first single SUCKS. Like it's almost tradition for her first single to be the worst song on the album, but this one is fantastic. This album feels like a time capsule. It truly belonged between 1989 and Lover. I love Reputation (It's my 2nd favorite TS album) but sonically, this one fits right into that space where Rep ended up.

Writing Tips with Professor Sparx

Whilst writing, please note that there is a world of difference between "mimicking their flapping hands," and "mimicking their fapping hands." Beware the missing L.

And in case you were wondering who made such a ridiculous mistake? It's me. Hi.
