sometimes i need to remind myself that i'm writing fanfiction for free and i'm allowed to have a shitty sentence or two
so many of my fics have remained buried in my drafts because i wrote the cool scenes first and then didn’t have “connective tissue”. but i’m freeing myself from that and just adding shitty “and then a week passed” or “they got to their destination” connections and just posting them and it’s so! freeing! try it!
I can't tell you how many times I've agonized over a scene transition, only to fill in the missing space with, like, a sentence.
Write the parts you wanna write and then go in and slap scotch tape over the rest of it.
“Excuse me. I have to call everyone I have ever met right now,” Cordelia, “Welcome to the Hellmouth,” Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
“Woah, I can taste my eyes!” -H.U.E., “Arachnitects,” Final Space.
“Wait, you named your new car?” -Claudia
“You wear torn clothing. We all have our quirks,” -Artie, “The Big Snag,” Warehouse 13.
Screw stereotypes in vampire and werewolf stories.
What if you had an elegant werewolf living in an expensive loft in the city, walking around in suits and only wolfing out in like the park every full moon.
And then there is a vampire who lives in the forest, wearing flannel shirts, who shoots empty beer cans in his backyard and hunts people who go too deep in to the forest.
“McFist has a finger in the nose of every kid here!” -Randy, “House of 1,000 Boogers,” Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja.
