this might be weird to ask, but how do I critically look at another person's writing and implement what I like in their writing in my own writing? I've been having trouble improving in my writing, and frankly Im not sure how to go about doing that, even. It's easy to see what I like about another person's writing, but hard to pinpoint exactly why...
THIS IS NOT WEIRD TO ASK. It is, in fact, the most important question EVER.
How to Read Like a Writer
Re-read. If you get halfway into a chapter and think, Wow this chapter is super creepy–I wonder how they did that. Or get to the end of a book and think, I feel the poignancy of the fragility of human life in an inherently volatile economic system–I wonder how the writer made me feel that way… Go back and re-read that shit.
Read slowly. When you read like a reader, you read pretty fast. When you go in for your second, or third, or fourth re-read of a passage, chapter, or book that you want to know more about, read it slowly. Really. Slowly.
Read for technique, not content. Readers read for content (”In this paragraph, Damien gave Harold a classified envelope.”). Writers read for technique. (”In this paragraph, the writer made me feel curious about the contents of the envelope by giving sensory details about its appearance and weight.”)
Ask the right questions. They usually start with HOW: How did the writer make me feel? How did they accomplish that?
Read small. Did a chapter make you feel sad? Find out WHERE EXACTLY. What paragraph, sentence, or WORD did it for you? Was it a physical detail? A line of dialogue? A well-placed piece of punctuation? Stories are made of words and sentences. Narrow it down.
Practice. Reading like a writer is a skill that takes time to develop. Over time, you’ll get better at it!
How about y’all? Anything to add to this list? I made it off the top of my head so I’m sure I’m forgetting something. What have been your experiences with learning to read like a writer?
Hope this helps!

So I sat down and wrote a Signora x Zhongli fic set in a modern music AU where bands like 5WIRL and DCKZ exist.
The gist is pretty simple; Zhongli wants to collab with La Signora, a pop diva-turned-actress, on DCKZ’s new album. Will this collaboration succeed or flop? That depends on the artists involved.

You know the recent Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers movie? Do you think a film like that could work but with anime characters? Think of it like a massive actor AU.
Things I’d like to see if this film were to be:
Dragon Ball characters complaining that their franchise had gone on for way too long and they want to retire.
Death Note and Cowboy Bebop characters ranting about their terrible live-action adaptations on Netflix, and that One Piece is next.
Rimuru Tempest and Goblin Slayer butting heads over whether goblins are solely evil or capable of being good.
Buxom anime girls ranting about how their features are exaggerated in the anime compared to the manga and the excessive fanservice shots.
Ichigo Kurosaki talking about how it took nearly 10 years for his anime to get continued and Gon Freecss talking about how his manga is finally getting off hiatus and it’s been 8 years since his show’s last season.
MHA characters complaining about their overly toxic fanbase.
Characters like Minoru Mineta who NEED bodyguards because otherwise they’ll be violently attacked in public because they’re so disliked.
Some heroes are a lot meaner than they are “on-camara”.
Wow…this is a lot of negative…I should think of more positive ideas:
Fighting tournaments are a thing, where people can cheer on their favorites. (OP characters such as Saitama cannot participate because the wins will be too easy)
VILLAIN BAR: Basically, where all the villain characters meet up to talk about their respective series, complain about their haters, or brag about their fan following.
Alita or Gally being pretty satisfied with her film adaptation, since it pretty much covered the gist of the first two arcs of Gunnm. (But wishes for a full-on anime adaptation of the manga)
Manga series with the same creator all hanging out together. Hunter X Hunter and Yu Yu Hakusho, and Rave Master, Fairy Tail and Eden Zero.
Some of the villains are a lot nicer than they are “on-camara”.
That’s all I got for idea on little things the film could have. Anyone else have ideas?

genuinely shocked at the amount of people that think character death = good story. In most circumstances, character deaths seem like an easy way out for shock value rather than meaningful development (Signora for example). Some of the best character arcs are those where the writers had to figure out how to develop the character in the arc of the story rather than just killing them and moving on

I’ve been sitting on the fic for months; apologies for the unannounced hiatus, work got hectic lately.
This little scene is La Signora and her bodyguard Ruv having a little dinner at her mansion.
Here’s Zavodila where this scene is from (https://archiveofourown.org/works/36309502/chapters/90518620), a little crossover I wrote that tries to answer the question: what if Ruv and Sarvente were in the Genshin Impact world?

I wrote a fic with his AU in mind!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/35967892
Auntie Signora au
Headcanon: La Signora and Alice are siblings or related in some way
(slight 2.1 spoiler?)
What if Alice was searching for a cure to reverse Rosalyne’s flames…. and she had no idea Signora joined the fatui…
anyways au where signora takes care of Klee and gains peace and happiness (as well as bombs)… perhaps doodles incoming!!
