what song do you think is super micomet-core? for me personally its soba ni ite by yuika when looking at their relationship generally
I THINK THE SAME BUT ALSO THIS ONE HONESTLY https://youtu*be/3Bf4_AbDj3Q
How do you get good at writing angst? I feel like I can never get it right. Plus it kills me inside when the angst is artificial, stemming from the characters being unrealistically dumb.
Your latest story is a mood. The trope of Sui-chan showing up unannounced at Miko's place, especially at night, should never die.
woa i never thought of my angst as good that means a lot
here comes a long-winded answer:
the logical component is me thinking about the story's theme in order to not get off track, overly angsty stories can result of too many different feels for a narrative to handle without any connection instead of emotions stemming from an underlying conflict at the root of it all
general thing but i plan scenes around what info must be conveyed to the reader and how these charas communicate this info in the context, i still struggle to balance show and tell but the idea is to exposit in-chara
(eg. migo and sui dodging each other's direct questions because emo-tion but revealing things via small talk) i make sure their actions and behavior are consistent with the above and who they are to the best i can, imo no fan characterization will be perfect
aside from that is the "vibes" its cliche but i use thoughts and feelings i have experienced before. it can be hard to put uncomfortable feelings into words but words can also blanket the topics to be palatable
hope that all made sense lol
How do you find people who can proofread ur fics? well i guess aside from friends
Suisei's got it rough but I didn't expect Miko to be so hard on herself either. Poor girl! They need to hurry up and make each other happy! Eagerly awaiting the day
You're on a roll! (No pun intended)
It pains me to see Sui's state though
Yo did you read My Demon Lord Can't Be This Cute by Fate19? I just missed it that AU a lot lol... Btw Im waiting for another great fanfic from you! Oh yeah you know, i always thought you are a "family friendly" writer... But nope lmao. (Can't complaint)
Subatowa is great, they’re a pair that is surprisingly close. Definitely check out the TOMOS raft collab translations by VtuberBits cause their bickering is hilarious
What's it like writing smut with someone else?
Do you take requests? One prompt that lives in my head: after miComet added each other on line, they stay up all night messaging each other in bed because they want to find out every detail of each other and bc the excitement and dokidoki keeps them up all night. What do they talk about? (Bonus comedy: it's hard to avoid being teased when they both show up dead tired to work the next day)
i have a question, when it comes to writing stories do you prefer writing the story as first perspective or third perspective? I'm curious whether which one would be a easier perspective to write
I didn't know you likes polka until i saw the hat in ur pfp
Hi odds! I've been reading ur fanfics ever since i found you under the mcmt tag, i wanted to ask where you get ur inspirations or motivations in writing also if you don't mind, what's a tip you can share for beginner writers when writing?
uwaaaa ty for da support, get ready for a bloated answer lol
generally I prioritize whatever I wanna see first or whatever idea paints the clearest picture. these ideas usually come from various fanarts, other stories I see/read (fics, novels, anime, manga) or when I'm having deep thoughts in the shower or before I sleep lol
for beginners, the important thing is to write as much as you can whenever possible in your schedule and observe different styles of writing: practice and exposure is important. A good way to get short+easy practice that I enjoy is finding art that clicks and then writing a short scene around it since the concept is visualized for you (if you are tempted to post these practices then be considerate of the artist ofc).
don't be afraid of having a rough rough rough draft for your stories, whether it's just dialogue or you're jumping between sections. as you revisit it, you come in with a refreshed perspective of your own idea and can adjust it gradually. it's ok to waver on concepts over time too through this, it depends on how much you care about the idea or concept you have.
