We Have Tools To Take Notes And Fix Our Grammar — These Have Been Around Forever. But What Are The

fic writers and fan artists be like

Stop judging fic writers for not having perfect spelling and grammar

We write fic for fun, it's for us, we do it as a hobby in our free time.

We're not obligated to edit to an extreme and perfect our spelling and grammar

For some fic writers, English isn't our first language or we're not fluent in it (oh and there are of course the fic writers who don't write in English at all)

We may not have time to edit a fic, especially if we're pressured to it posted by a certain time

If we're posting a short drabble that doesn't even reach 1-2k, hell even if it does reach 1-2k, we may not see a reason to edit it

But people writing longer fics and even multiple chapters aren't obligated to perfect their grammar and spelling either. Most likely we'll revise once, we're not going to through like 5-6 different revisions for a fanfic that we're just having fun with

Fun fact: editing is a bit of a nightmare, especially if English isn't your first language (do not get me started on fic writers who translate their fics from their mother language into English). Rigorously editing can make fic writing less fun if we feel like we have to perfectly edit it each and every time, and writing is for fun, we're supposed to enjoy it (to fellow fic writers: if editing drains you or you feel the need for your grammar to be perfect, it doesn't have to be. Focus more on the writing (the fun part) than you do the editing)

Fic writers aren't bad writers if their spelling and grammar isn't perfect

Accidental Love Confessions

Just looking at them and suddenly blurting out 'I love you'

Causally saying I love you when the other person has done something really great for them and it wouldn't be awkward if they were just friends, but this makes them realize they're not

Confessing in the middle of a stupid fight

A drunken love confession that gets questioned and then repeated sober

While comforting the other one, who is saying that they are unloved, the other protests that they are definitely not

Exhausted, they are half asleep while saying good night, and an "I love you" slips out

During a very stressful situation, one screams "I care about you, can't you see that I love you?"

Whispering "I love you" in a really dramatic situation and then second-guessing if the other person heard and how they feel

Saying "you're lucky I love you" and realizing too late what they said

Confession via text, either through technology or oldschool pen on paper, but they didn't actually want to send it

a writer's nightmare is having the vision for one specific scene for a fic and having to come up with The Rest

As you write, you will naturally improve. Do not wait until you think you are good enough to start. You are always good enough to start improving.

Gentle writing advice indeed.

So for over a month and a half I’ve been told in my Creative writing MA class that my writing is too poetic and abstract to work in the form of a novel and that I need to simplify my meanings and sentences. I did as I was told and lost all interest in writing if I have to write in the same style that every other novelist does. Today I received this note from a classmate and didn’t realise how much I needed to hear it. Don’t change your art just because other people don’t get it. Don’t change your style to fit in with everyone else. It’s your story not theirs.

Very good advice for both the writer and the critiquer.

gestures that makes me feel love:

(feel free to use the<33 2, 5,6, and 17 are lengg, do tag me when yall writee :) )

when they feed you the first bite

when they hug you from the back and wants to stay like that for a bit, it's just so comforting and healing!!!

staying away past their bed time, waiting for you to finish your work

slow dancing in the living room. with pjs.

knuckle kisses. SHOULDER KISSES. OKAY?? UGH♡

when they have a habit of bumping noses with you, that makes you giggle a little

always smiling in your presence :')

^ "how are you so smiling so hard right now?" "i find myself a little bit more happy when I'm with you. :)"

when they tuck a strand of your hair behind your ear while you talk

when they defend you in your absence

reaching out to hold your hands, always

keenly listens to you rant and vice versa

always so good with kids, and kids absolutely love them!!

sends you pictures and videos often and tells you how much they wish you were there with them

makes time for you. absolutely loves spending time with you!

lying in silence while cuddling snd realising how much their touch comforts you

shamelessly gets back rubs from you (if ure at that level, yall prolly should get married)

teases you on every occasion possible!

"If multi-verse exists, I hope to god, you're my soulmate in every one of them."

when they press kisses at the corners your lips. always.
