I’m noticing an increase in new fic writers on AO3 who…uh…mayy not know how to format their fics correctly..so here is a quick and VERY important tip
Using a random fic of mine as example..
The left example: ✅✅✅
The right example: ❌❌❌
Idk how many times I’ve read a good fic summary and been so excited to read before clicking on it and being met with an ugly wall of text. When I see a huge text brick with zero full line breaks my eyes blur and I just siiiigh bc either I click out immediately or I grin and bear it…it’s insufferable!
If a new character speaks, you need a line break. If you notice a paragraph is becoming too large, go ahead and make a line break and/or maybe reconfigure the paragraph to flow better. I’m not a pro writer or even a huge fic writer but…please…ty…
hi im back for more.. 5 for the angst starters with toya and harumichi.. (or maybe 14..)
5. “You don’t own me.”/14. “I give up. You won.”
The day Toya came home with tears in his eyes and a bruised cheek was shaping up to be the worst day of Harumichi’s life.
He had just tried to offer some polite advice, but Toya had barricaded his door so Harumichi couldn’t get in.
“You don’t own me, Father! I’ll find something else to do with my life!”
But as the days went on, the resistance only slowed.
And even as Toya tried to fit in with Tsukasa’s troupe, which is much better in Harumichi’s eyes than being a street musician, he kept mumbling about something being off.
And eventually, Toya walks in with a look in his eyes.
“I give up.” He sighs. “You win. You’re right. I was born to be an instrument. There’s nothing I can do about that.”
“What happened to being a part of Tsukasa’s troupe?” Harumichi responds, and Toya sighs.
“Tsukasa-senpai doesn’t need me. He never has. His troupe is so perfectly structured and set up, there’s no room for me. There’s no place for me anywhere but at the piano.”
And true to his word, Toya does begin daily practice again. He does his work, plays the piano, goes to school, and nothing else.
Tsukasa keeps trying to drag him to his troupe, but it doesn’t work. Toya slowly stops accepting his calls, and that’s what starts to make Harumichi’s chest tighten.
He… doesn’t want to speak to Tsukasa.
And finally, he notices the light in Toya’s eyes has vanished.
It’ll be back, he tells himself. It’ll be back and Toya will be himself again. The music will save him.
But Toya’s never quite himself again.
And for the first time since Harumichi was a child too scared to be himself, he doesn’t know what to do.
