  2. What? That’s limiting… More seriously, I learned by doing it wrong in my first original story (now deleted). I crammed it with so much backstory/flashback that I confused my readers and myself. On reflection, I realized I basically had multiple stories in one. So, I spun one backstory off as a regular chaptered story (complete), and the other off as an episodic serial (still WIP). And working on a second episodic to explain where the main protagonist’s swimming instructor came from, so yeah, gotta cut backstory off at a point or it’ll explode with plot bunnies and you’ll never get back around to writing the story you intended to write in the first place.
  3. When I write, I generally prefer “showing” over “telling”. Thus, don’t tell them a character is angry, show them slamming a door, raising their voice as they shout back, etc. Obviously there’s extremes to either end, 100% showing winds up with a 1M+ Harry Potter fanfic… I typically don’t like being told what to think, I prefer judging for myself, which is why I prefer showing over telling as I read and as I write. An internal monologue…sounds like either a good start to summary/outline or a wall of text doing info-dumping (use sparingly). However, a short monologue/dialogue is a decent way to introduce facts you want to de-emphasize to some degree, maybe soften/de-gory some bit of it (ie, a rape, an abortion). Overall, you can tell I favor character/story development over recapping, and it’s spun off stories as “character development”
  4. Was thing more venus fly trap style… anyways, requires a lot of thought
  5. Hmm….Halloween story, where the happy ending is the tragic ending. Not sure how to pull that off in the original universe I tend to write in.
  6. Why did my mind jump to R/C dildo being used as a torture device?
  7. Innocence? Not typically found on this website
  8. Explicit version does trample large swaths of “non-conformity” type of encounters (ie, not simply M/F). Though, ironically, did write a M/F scene this morning.
  9. Got an alternate ending to my potter fanfic that’ll tie into one of my originals… in this same theme would be a “send-off” of sorts.
