PLEASE

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

if u take this advice ur writing becomes like instantly a million times better stop assuming the audience is dumb ok stop worrying if things will be misinterpreted they will be and that’s ok good writing will have people interpreting it wildly differently i am so sick of writers having to anticipate the most boring bad-faith readings of their work. i am like - if you use cheese as a currency okay! as long as the world makes sense to me: cool. cheese tax. moving on. my job as the reader is to suspend my disbelief and say okay! i am so sick of like fanfiction authors having to write dissertations because they had an interesting idea they'd like to try out!!! wow op really going off in tags I respect that

Is now the time for me to bring up how atrocious it is that authors now have to market their books with pseudo AO3 tags so everyone can see the tropes?
