Writing Resources

Nov 27, 2009 02:00

I should have created this a long time ago. Like, an insanely long time ago.

I had been meaning to compile a list of writing resources and ask my friends if there are any they love that I should know about. I recently had communication with someone on ff.net where I promised I'd send some writing tips. Ff.net's awesome messaging system doesn't ( Read more... )

writing: tips, writing, links, !public

Thanks for posting this! And lol, I've 'head-hopped' before, though when I write a fic, I usually stick with one character's POV or perception now.

And yes, prompt communites are awesome! You should check-out wtf27, un_love_you, and 15pairings. Those are my favourite prompt communities. xD

You're welcome! I'd been wanting to collocate information on this topic before, so I figured now was the time to get off my butt and do it. (I'm jazzed if it's useful at all for my friends ^_ ( ... )

Oh I've read a lot of head-hopping fics. I once read this Tekken Jin/Hwoarang fic that kept jumping from Hwoarang's POV to Jin's, and I was like "Wha...?", because I couldn't understand what the fuck was going on. I understood the car/brain analogy, so don't worry, lol.

Yay, prompt communities are so fun! And I love the un_love_you one, and yeah, I get annoyed, as you know, when I see the 'L' word in a fic to much. I've done it before, but I only have someone say it like... once in a fic then, never over and over again (though I did that one time when I was writing while highly intoxicated, and three people said something about it so I went back and changed it, LOL.)

I guess head-hopping isn't something that people notice right away.

It's a reason that I can't read RP transcrips anymore since it keeps jumping from one to the other. *sighs* Maybe I'm just getting picky or something. I don't read nearly as much fanfic as I used to.

Oh, yes, using the L word once or twice during key scenes can work so lovely. (Omg, I just used it!) Especially when there's been some build-up to the confession so it feels so right.

And omg your icon! That's so cute. I'd never thought of those two before.
*uses fun icon*
