halfshellvenus: On Writing: Punctuation and Sentence Construction - One of the reasons for the obviousness of the problems I'm seeing now (in this book and so many others) is precisely the fact that I'm reading it out loud. You may have heard the advice to read your own writing out loud, to help find missing words and vag -
- addie_logan: My Big, Fat Meta Post - Conflict is what brings a plot from point A to point B. It’s what allows the reader to feel the “pay off” when the story ends. ... Angst describes an emotional state, and is often a product of conflict. -

I guess they feel the need to prove the -
- fandom_discuss: [on JF] Identifying with a character & shipping. - My random fandom-y pondering of the day is; why only slash? Why aren't het pairings seen in this way?
