I posted something like this a few days ago, but I didn't word it correctly and didn't know how to get my ideas across, and now I do. I have two young adult characters that are best friends in an urban fantasy setting. Both of them are yandere for each other, but it's completely platonic and also pretty low-key. They're not usually a danger to anyone else, and it's meant to be played for comedy. However, I have no idea how to make them act. Every other yandere thing I've seen is way over the top, way romantic or sexual, or for a parent/child dynamic. What are some ideas for how they can act o ..read more

I'm currently writing a fic about someone's Minecraft world. I had the idea that the world was used over multiple stages of the player's life, typically with hiatuses in between. Building on that idea, I thought it would be cool if one of those stages was "queerphobic teenager" and another was "queer adult" and I have to imply that in the world. Note that the player either can't access the world anymore or does not choose to. Additionally, the NPCs are now sentient and have been so for about one thousand years, and the player's stuff is mostly unknown to them. TLDR: Minecraft archaeology Edit ..read more

I’m only looking for feedback from writers that have taken the Shape, Write, and Sell your Novel Course and graduated in the last few years. What were your experiences and was it worth it? Would you recommend this course from the Institute for Writers? Thank you! submitted by /u/Mookie291 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

not specifically the words I put to paper. more just the way I go about creating a world and a story. I took a break from writing for a few weeks to make maps, write character sheets, planning the story, and world building. but i’ve got adhd and I have yet to master multitasking or time management, so I am so bad about going from writing to being like “oh wait, new characters, lemme go write up their sheets” to then realizing I’m taking the story to a new area so now I need a new map for visualization, but I have to make the map the same size as the last map so the buildings and roads match t ..read more

I took away most of the outrageous dialogue (you know, the dialogue because the MC and the hooker), but with that I included a few paragraphs of the MC seeking help, since that was lacking in the story. So, tell me what you think. submitted by /u/sammataka [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

To give you some context I am currently writing the screenplay of this webseries . This is how I currently plan out and outline the events of every bit of the story before I write the screenplay for each episode . Note this is just a somewhat simplified version of what I do, its obviously more detailed in some way and could vary depending on the story but this outline gives the basic idea. Do you think there is an issue with how I outline / plan things out: ACT 1 Episode 1 ACT 1 of Ep1 ACT 2 of Ep 1 ACT 3 of Ep 1 Episode 2 ACT 1 of Ep 2 ACT 2 of Ep 2 ACT 3 of Ep 2 ACT 2 Episode 3 ..read more
