BABES WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

I thought this was a comment on writing stories yourself versus giving a Gen AI a prompt. But yeah no I'd love a 100k (in money) so I can then work on reaching 100k (in word count).

YES!!

anyone else really want to just live in as many countries as possible, pick up as many languages and dialects as possible, absorb as much culture and ways of life as possible

Crosshair: It’s against my moral compass.

Hunter: Your fucking moral compass is a ROULETTE WHEEL!

It's a valid fear, but I think the benefits outweigh the possibility of that happening. Reading books from the genre/s you want to write is an excellent way to learn the rules etc of the genre, so then it'll be easier to follow or subvert readers' expectations. Plus, even if you are heavily influenced by others' work, I believe it will evolve and become more original as you go.

I want to read other books in the genre(s) I'm writing in, but I'm also afraid that if I do, those books will end up influencing my own writing too much, and I'll end up writing something that's effectively a copy of something else. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is my fear well-founded?

A Simple Trick for Fic Writers

Hey, if you're a fic writer and a character speaks in a different language, you don't just have to add the translation in the notes. Use the following HTML coding to add 'text on hover' to the word(s). If the reader is on a computer they can hover over the text to see the translation.

<span title="This is the text in the box!">This is the text that shows in your fic!<;/span>

Here are some examples from a fic on my AO3.

This coding here <span title="a fool, idiot (lit. emptyhead)">Eyn utreekov&lt;/span> will show this on hover.

This next example shows that you can add a lot of text. The formatting is the same as above.

PS: When doing this, there may be spacing issues, but you can edit the text through AO3's html or rich text editor. From there you can add italics (like I did), bold, etc, and fix any weird spacing issues. Just be careful not to delete the coding that you worked so hard on 😂
