*sighs pulling a chair over* Peach, I gotta sit down for this one. My lord. I just read all of Simple math, and I..I don’t even know how to process what you’ve written. It’s not my first fic I’ve read of yours, in fact it’s the 3rd I believe. But holy. Ever. Loving. Sh*t. I cannot put into words how beautifully written it is. Your writing makes me wanna be a a better writer. Makes me wanna crawl inside your brain and study the processes you use to create such masterpieces.

Most of my life I have been a writer, and when I say I STRIVE to be as good as you. Your writing is inspirational on so many levels. You have a way of connecting to someone’s soul, throwing them into a character, and making them live every moment. Feel every emotion. I sobbed reading this, I laughed and I smiled like an idiot. I’m excited to read more of your work, and for the updates to come.

Please never stop writing (but like I totally understand if you do) your writing is better than some published authors I’ve read. And as someone who averages 200 books a year, I have strong opinions on writers. If there wasn’t copywrite infringement with publishing fanfictions for money; you my lovely tumblr writer would be a best seller.

I’m flattered and flailing, thank you so much. I really do love writing and I’m thrilled to share it with everyone here and it’s so wonderful to feel like I’m connecting with you all through these stories! I’m very flattered and really appreciative that you took time out of your day to send me this 🥲 it’s so kind. Thank you so much 🩵

I am catching up on a week of tumblr and idk if I’ve ever come into your inbox to say this but although I don’t always agree 100% with your opinions and I simply don’t have the energy in my heart to be a hater, even in half jest, when I have to deal with (genuine) chronic fatigue, I think you’re always fair and reel back if people take it too far.

For my own peace of mind, and having worked with them plenty, I mostly think writers are lying in some form in public statements around 99.99% of the time, and having known some locally renowned writers for upwards of a decade, I do know some of them actually genuinely end up forgetting their fictions vs. facts in a way that goes somewhat beyond normal people’s.

I don’t think this makes them immune to criticism though and again I think this blog & co. is cool for just keeping it to here, having some sense of propriety in Not Sending Authors Shit, and trying to strive for fairness when it becomes necessary. 🫡

It’s such a sweet but funny compliment to be like “you are fair and just” when the topics we are discussing are so silly and unimportant. But I’ll take it, thank you! I don’t view myself as hater because I’m always having fun but sometimes people are just wrong/hypocritical and it’s fun to make fun of that.

It bothers me though that people either stan people/things 100% with no room for criticism or because they hate something they don’t want to see nuance in it. The people and things you like are gonna suck and there has to be room to point that out without taking the joy out of it and beating yourself up. The people/things you don’t like aren’t gonna be bad/wrong 100% of the time

#this goes for my own faves too. they have all sucked and will suck some of the time. including works of art I love

speaking of devouring fics where sirius' gender has been trans-ed, do you have any recs?? i know some people don't like to recommend fics so feel free to ignore if that's your vibe!

yes, i do have recs for this! here are a few off the top of my head, in no particular order:

honey sweet by @vajazzly

explicit - ft. city boy sirus who is down bad for the beekeeper with horrible fashion sense (but he’s good with this hands)

gathering home by @quietlemonhush

explicit - sirius raising regulus & harry after literally burning down his family home, remus is reg’s teacher. heavy themes but overall very funny & sweet & tender.

suffer for the people - orphan account

remus is regulus’s camp counselor, has lil bit of a meltdown and asks for his brother who comes to visit to calm him down. feelings occur. sooo cute & comforting, very fluffy.

our destiny in the stars - orphan account

explicit - remus is insecure about his (plus size, disabled) body and decides to try online dating where matches can’t see what the other person looks like. he meets sirius (trans, a teacher) and they uh - hit it off. this fic makes me smile so damn big. it’s just - it’s a classic, i’ve read it a million times.

whatever words i say - orphan account

sirius can’t stop acting out and it’s stressing out the rest of his band, so lily hires remus to keep an eye on him. obviously, they fall in love. a sweet lil band au.

a fool and his money - orphan account

explicit - chronically ill remus is roommates with regulus, meets his rich older brother and agrees to an arrangement: pretend to date sirius, show up with him to events - in exchange for money. y’all can guess where this is going and it’s so good. love a good sugar daddy/fake dating fic.

abyss by @titstraction

explicit - highschool au, remus & sirius are both on the track team and can’t seem to the same page. this fic is - so good. it’s very much a comfort read for me, but there are some heavy themes and transphobic jokes. this fic will hurt your feelings but it will also make you giggle and kick your feet and scream into your pillow.

have time to grow by queer_and_trashy

explicit - queer professor & amateur poet remus meets trans professional poet sirius - they try to get their shit together. hot & sweet and just, deeply deeply gay.

the entire rock n’ pole verse by @jennandblitz and fivepips

explicit - ace rock climber remus meets genderfluid dancer (mainly pole) sirius. this ‘verse is huge, there’s literally millions of words of it and y’all - i’ve read all of it. incredible ace representation, and overall just very sweet and sappy. mild angst, but everyone is in love & has a happy ending so don’t worry!

living like we’re renegades - orphan account

explicit - cheerleader sirius + journalist remus = everything i’ve ever wanted. i loooove this sirius so much they’re so gender.

the prettiest star ‘verse by raging_queer

tattoo artist sirius meets single dad remus - actually, sirius meets his child, teddy. sweet bonding with teddy looking up to Elder Queer sirius. very fluffy and comforting.

staying strangers by 3amandcounting

the texting fic, my fave of all-time. genderfluid sirius & demisexual remus. if there is one fic out there that will just make you want to open a window and yell about it to the other townsfolk - it’s this one. idek how to explain it, it’s just - it’s perfect.

also most of my fic features trans sirius, my masterlist is pinned!

disclaimer: this list is non-exhaustive, i know i’ve forgotten some, and i will be updating this tomorrow when i’m not half-asleep. and y’all, please reply with your fave trans sirius fics bc i want to read them all!!

#gonna reblog this tomorrow and add all my fave trans remus fics too!#@mutuals if i forgot ur fic i’m so sorry i’m on my phone and don’t have my full bookmark list i LOVE u #please add ur own recs!#trans sirius black #fic recs #wolfstar #ALSO i’m sure some of these authors do have tumblrs i just don’t know their urls or whatever so lemme know if i need to update my tags

This fanfiction.

God tier. And that’s not a pun. It sadly is incomplete and hasn’t been completed since December 25th 2022, but it doesn’t end on a crazy cliff hanger that makes you scream and shout and let it all out. However, ofc, it does leave you wanting more.

But it so good. I reccomended every reads it pls and thank you. In all my life of reading fanfiction, I’ve found that Percy Jackson AUs tend to be the absolute best, and this one is no exception

#percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #heroes of olympus #percabeth #fanfiction #fanfic #i don’t think you understand #this fanfiction was insane.#if the author is on tumblr and sees this…. hiiiiiiiii #i don’t even want to give it away #but just know when you start you’ll never stop

yeah i can see how that gets tiring at some point

LimL!Grian: it is most certainly not fun to wake up first thing just to hear Scar mispronouncing Clockers

??: Hey! It is a very hard word to say

LimL!Pearl: Oh hey Scar

LimL!Scar: Hey hey hey

#I really don’t know tumblrs whole censoring thing #so from now on the mispronounce of Clockers is going to be #Cloakers #Imagine it’s the other one #I don’t wanna risk things I have no idea about #grian #limited life #pearlescentmoon #goodtimeswithscar #author speaks #lose

"Toothless perches on a sea stack, and Hiccup slides to the rock beside him, staring at the chaos. As the two watch, the scene fades as an hour passes. The flames are mostly smoke now, only a few ships still burning. Almost every sail has been ripped down and dragged to the water, or has burned to nothing but the skeleton of rigging." - excerpt from Chapter 21 of run past the rivers, run past all the light by rosetta_46

This fic has gifted me so much happy chemical so expect a lot of fanart in the future. It's a "watching the movie" fic with incredible characterization, tasty canon divergences, and so many juicy bits of foreshadowing. Highly recommend consuming it whenever y'all are able.

Bonus little concept sketch below because I think the Toothless was perfect:

How do you approach the revision process in your writing

There's a lot more to revision than your middle school teachers told you.

Many writers (especially beginners) think about spell-checking, grammar and potentially fixing plot holes after finishing the first draft when the topic of revision comes up, but there's much more you can do. After all, when we write a text we want to do much more than to simply convey information to the reader. We want to evoke emotions, we want to bring our characters to life and we want to tell their story in a way that does them justice. For that reason I divide my revision process into four parts.

Behold, my overly detailed revision process that includes absolutely everything we could do which does not mean that you have to or even should do all of these, especially with this level of detail (tl;dr at the end for those who don’t need every excruciating detail):

Plot, Characters And Themes

Goals Of The Scene

Emotions Of The Reader

Grammar And Spelling

1. Revising The Pot And Characters

This part of the revision usually starts long before even the first word of the first draft sees the light of day and is technically part of the outlining process.

Before we write a first draft and then have to do it all over again because something in the story changed or because we found a plot hole, it is much much easier to refine the contents of our writing in a much less work intensive medium than a long text. There are many ways to outline a story that each fit different writers and different stories, so I won’t go deeper into that. (I personally do it through a process I call time-lining but that would be its own separate post.) Once our outline is done we can step back and analyse the following aspects of our story (in no particular order; these go hand in hand with each other):

Plot lines

Characters And Characters Arcs

Themes

1.1 Plot Lines

Revising plot lines is more than just revising the story overall but still quite simple. Besides checking the vague concept of weather or not the story goes like we want it to go, we can check isolated plot lines and if

- they start at the best point of the story

- they end or converge with other plot lines at the right moment of the timeline

- they have an end at all or were forgotten about (open ending is a valid ending!)

- the reader can follow the lines or if they get too confusing

- and if the A- and B-Plot are properly balanced.

1.2 Characters And Character Arcs

This part is essentially the same as Plot Lines, except we check the character’s

- personalities and if they stay consistent throughout the story/ change appropriately according to the character’s experiences

- character arcs with the same questions as Plot Lines.

1.3 Themes

Themes, too is almost the same Plot Lines. We again check for consistency and also for frequency. The themes of our story should be brought up often enough that the reader doesn’t forget about/ can quickly remember them but not so often that it annoys them. Additionally we need to keep in mind what demographic we are writing for. Depending on the age of our readers the frequency and also boldness of our themes will vary widely.

2. Goals Of The Scene

A scene itself having goals is something that will probably strike most who are reading this as odd; I personally only came across the concept around 2 years ago for the first time, despite having researched writing techniques for years as a special interest before that. But the goal of a scene being “driving the plot forward” is probably something that we all can understand. However, besides just driving the plot forward there are many other goals a scene can have. For example:

Introducing a new character

Foreshadowing a future event

Getting the reader emotionally invested with a character

Conveying knowledge to the reader that the characters don’t yet have access too

Getting the reader thinking

Giving the reader a moment of peace (pacing)

and many many many more

Every scene should have a goal, even just a small one like giving the reader a break in between action scenes, else it wouldn’t contribute anything to our story. This part can be done both before the first draft and after it, depending on what goal our scene has.

Technical goals like conveying information can often already be achieved by adding a bullet point in our outline that later gets put into writing, while emotional goals often rely on the actual text.

3. Emotions Of The Reader

Being self critical [sic] is for editing, not writing. Writing is when you throw anything at the wall and see what sticks. They are two different practices that should be practiced separately. Write first, edit later.

This is a quote from a post I’ve been seeing on here for a couple days now and it pretty much encapsulates the reason I mentally separate revising the emotions my text is supposed to evoke in the reader from revising structure, grammar, spelling and all the other things I’ve listed. When writing my first draft I try to really get in the headspace of my potential future reader and the emotions I want them to feel. But just like when we later check our spelling and grammar it’s important to step away from our writing for quite some time before we can properly revise it. We need to forget the emotions we felt while writing to be truly able to revise what a reader would feel. Once enough time has passed we can revisit our text. And since we want to focus on just the emotions it’s advisable to ignore most minor grammatical mistakes at this stage (out of experience it’s extremely easy to loose track of what you were doing when you get too hung up on grammatical details).

However we as the writers will always be biased by our own emotions and meta knowledge. For that reason a beta reader focusing on this topic would be extremely helpful. I personally only had the opportunity to work with a beta reader once (since I’m purely a hobby writer) but back then I had asked them to read my text and write down/colour code all of their emotions and related thoughts paragraph by paragraph and even sentence by sentence where it was necessary. The result of that was a document containing not only my text but also a clear depiction of my reader’s headspace, that I could analyse and use as a basis to change parts of my text, where the reaction was too far away from what I wanted it to be.

4. Grammar And Spelling

This one I’ll keep short since that part of the revision process was probably beaten into every single one of us in middle school. The most important thing when checking grammar and spelling is of course to get some distance to our text first, the same way we did with the emotions before, and a beta reader is here too extremely beneficial.

Really the only personal part I have to add here is that I prefer to do this part at the very very end of my writing process after everything else I’ve talked about so far has been done and finished. After all, what sense is there to grammar and spellchecking first drafts.

Tl;dr and to sum up and summarise

When revising a story/text there is more to it than just spellchecking and grammar. I personally divide it into these four categories:

Plot, Characters And Themes

Goals Of The Scene

Emotions Of The Reader

Grammar And Spellchecking

This list shows the rough order in which I work, not a step by step guide on how to revise! Writing can and will be chaotic, at least to some extent, so don’t force yourself into an unnecessarily strict working process. Revise these points whenever you feel is appropriate during your own writing process ,especially since they can’t even be completely separated from each other. Just make sure to focus on one or two of these things at a time as to not get too far off track.

Also please keep in mind that there is no need to go into such extreme detail as I did here with most stories. My goal with this post is to give an overview of everything you could possibly do to revise your writing (or at least everything I could think of over the course of the 3 days I’ve spend working on this.) Use the parts that are relevant to your story and don’t get too hung up on the details.

At the end of the day writing should be fun and tools like these should not get in the way of that!

Happy Writing <3

if tumblr had polls in 2015 I know iwaoi would have never lost in round 3 of a ship poll. How easily we forget our roots

#I can’t believe anime tumblr got murdered like this in cold blood. Sorry I don’t know what a ‘Swede’ or a ‘Blackbird” is #I didn’t even ship Iwaoi but like #I read a comic about domestic iwaoi and their neighbor a clueless straight boyfriend bonding and #When he was like ‘my wife wants to get married but I’m scared we won’t love each other in the future’ and iwaoi was like well.#We choose to stay together even though it won’t be acknowledged in law or death we r married. Don’t let fear hold u back from love #This was before the adoption + partner certificate process got more widespread in Japan I think? Anyways #That comic is burned in my mind idk what the author was on when she wrote that but it fucked me up #ao3 ship poll #Seb out
