Spotted this on AO3’s reddit, an alignment chart for work titles, maybe it’ll help? Link to post (to credit the artist) https://www.reddit.com/r/AO3/comments/16plpw3/i_made_an_alignment_chart_for_ao3_work_titles/

42704 Gives me hope of actually being able to … gasp … FINISH the thing (still years away)

42702 Well, the progress on my story is freaking awesome… 98k so far this month.

42700 and it’s worse for me, gotten into a habit of really early rises, so I’m already up, writing before work.

Finish? That’s heresy… 🤪 More seriously, been trying to focus on finishing things too, so far resisting the urge to start new stories. Do need to consider if I want to break my writing streak to write up a Halloween story or not.

The long hiatus is something that happened with my potter fanfic. For about a dozen years, no updates, then all the alerts started to flare up, I’m sure, people going “wait, I alerted on that?”.

Well, depending on circumstances, you can have OTHER characters talking. Maybe it’s the radio/TV in the background. Maybe it’s others around the corner wondering why there’s underwear on the floor. (Or in some of my works, the characters don’t mind giving a show.) Talking could be important or not, in the end, it’d help break up long descriptive paragraphs.

Well, you can always go back and rewrite it! Now, I’ve got my originals all in the same universe, so serials, spinoffs, are a frequent thing so I usually do have a way to revisit characters that’ve grown on me. Luckily on my Potter fanfic, the ending is years away, so I’ve got a while on that one.

Wait, you’re telling me that a character shouldn’t be getting off while giving a book report?
