– they both have THE SAME FCKIN PRONOUNS SO I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO NAME BOTH CHARACTERS BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHO’S DOING WHAT OR WHO’S SPEAKING WHO WILL SAVE ME FROM THIS HELL
I CAN’T BELIEVE THERE’S A POST ABOUT THIS. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.
Worst way to deal with this: use epithets (the taller man, the blonde) DO NOT
Best way to deal with this: Use the pronouns a teensy bit more than you maybe feel is sufficient. Leave the fic for two days before editing (i.e. allow yourself to forget it a little). Come back and re-read. If at any point YOU can’t tell who’s doing what to whom, put names in. Leave the rest of the pronouns.
Also, for dialogue: use characterization instead of names. Let it be clear by the things that are said, the way they are said, who is saying them.
Readers are smart, let them infer sometimes. 🙂
So many people have asked me about this when writing same-sex relationships. I’ve been looking for this post for so long, I hope it helps, darlings!
I call upon the fan fic writing gods to bless you with the perseverance to finish one of your unfinished drafts.
May your fingers dance along the letters upon your device with ease, may the devil of distraction stay far from you, and may your work not need much editing.
I pass this blessing upon every fan fic writer out there.
I hope this finds you well. This is something of a weird request, but I’m an undergraduate student who’s currently completing a funded summer research project on gender politics within omegaverse fanfiction in the Hannibal fandom.
As part of this, I’m conducting a survey to ask fans why and how they read and write the omegaverse trope. I’ve sent out an open call for survey responses (more information about the survey is available on the front page of this blog, omegaverse-research-project), and I was wondering if you would be willing to post the call up on your blog? No worries if not, of course.
If you have any questions you can message this account, or email me via the email I’ve given in the survey link. Thank you so much!
We have over 2k followers on this blog so hope that some of them will take a moment to check out your blog and take part in the survey (by the July 16th deadline)
WIP WEEK is a week dedicated to updating fic or art WIPs that is held every two months. All fandoms are welcome to participate. Original works are also accepted. Please tag your entries with the #wipweek or #wip week tag. Since multiple fandoms and ships are participating, please clearly list the fandoms, ships, and content warnings in the post so that they can be properly tagged for any potential readers.
The seventh WIP Week will be held from July 22, 2018 to July 28, 2018.
Each day will have a theme, but you do not have to post every day. You are also not obligated to follow these themes. You can work on one fic or artwork for the entire week if you choose. If you’re not comfortable posting full updates but still want to participate in the week, you can post your daily word count and a small snippet from your work.
Here are the themes for the week:
July 22: Your Oldest WIP
July 23: Your Most Popular WIP
July 24: Your AU WIP
July 25: Your Newest WIP
July 26: Your Previously Unpublished WIP
July 27: Your Favorite WIP
July 28: Your Canon-Verse WIP
