DEAR WRITERS:

IT’S OKAY TO USE “SAID” A WHOLE DAMN BUNCH.
IT’S OKAY TO USE PRONOUNS REPEATEDLY SO LONG AS YOU STRUCTURE YOUR SENTENCES SO AS TO KEEP IT FROM BEING CONFUSING
FUCK, IT’S EVEN OKAY TO USE COMMON SAYINGS AND CLICHES SPARINGLY.
DON’T PURPLE UP YOU PROSE JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK IT’S NOT OKAY TO DO THESE THINGS BECAUSE IT IS

Bea & Scorpius
nevermind-the-lennox:
I just imagine Scorpius dragged Bea along to some swanky Malfoy event and she’s sitting down while he chats everybody up and she’s all bored and pouty because they ran out of cake.

Julia: maybe [scorpius] loses his sight in a fire and the final chapter is bea approaching him and him going 'bea, bea, is that you?' and she's silent and he touches her face and i think that would be plagarising jane eyre

I… just had a dream where I was at Bea and Scorpius’ wedding. Everyone was sitting down at the reception and Draco was telling a story about Scorpius being on the internet, and Scorpius, who makes his entrance into the reception area via wooden slide while transfigured as a giant piece of celery, was like ‘but hoW COULD WE HAVE HAD INTERNET’ and Draco just nodded wisely,...

IT TOTALLY FITS! When you have to say you’re not crazy, well, I’m sorry to say…
This is why I declare my craziness outright. I like to set precedent for people when they first meet me, so they know what they’re in for :’D
You’re welcome. And thanks! c: I probably won’t be able to draw much of anything else for a while though.
I can give you a bit...

I’m not a big fan of them, but I like Kyuhyun and whatever crazy stuff Heechul is getting into.
At first I was like, naaaah drawing a kiss is hard (poses!!! hands!!! lips!!!) not to mention awkward and I’ve got things to do but ok fine I’ll give it a go, and then I didn’t stop drawing and then a full blown picture happened and I can’t stop giggling because I...

Hullo people from the computer science tag! I wonder how many wandered in and got totally confused at the fact that this is a fanfiction blog 90% of the time.
I have very minor experience with MATLAB from my math class. It’s really more of a tool for mathematicians and engineers - making simulations and calculations and all that - and not for making the kind of programs that you do with...

I'm thinking about taking Computer Programming 1, which deals with Alice, whatever that is, learning java, python, and programing a robot. I've seen java and I'm a bit worried about it. Do you have experience with java? Should I be worried? Also, what should I be looking for in laptops? I know...

feedback ~
This blog’s been through lots of phases and has settled into this semi-personal writing-and-art blog that showcases how manic I am, ideally more art if I had the time. There’s a mess of everything from my drawings to music mixes to picspams, and I try not to spam too much of one thing, but I don’t know what most people are here for (I personally like to rubberneck on...

so you're interested in computer science
I’ve wanted to write a post on computer science for awhile, and this is also in response to an ask about my experience with the major. CS doesn’t get the attention it should pre-college (at least in America), and the AP course is rather poor. You pretty much have to already be interested and then find out more for yourself, so this is my experience with the major so far. This post is...

Hello from airport wifi!
THAT WOULD BE PERFECT, return of my sanity ?????? Baha, I just didn’t feel like officially putting anything in there at the moment. I’m likely going to reread/edit all of Capers because it has been SO LONG. Standard procedure for me heh, but I may add new details, which I don’t usually do. I always meant to get into their family life more, etc....

As a professor, may I ask you what you think about fanfiction?
I think fanfiction is literature and literature, for the most part, is fanfiction, and that anyone that dismisses it simply on the grounds that it’s derivative knows fuck-all about literature and needs to get the hell off my lawn.
Most of the history of Western literature...

FORGOT ONE
Aaah I’m always so bashful of answering these questions because I’ve seen so many people who are more devoted to writing, and still I feel like a procrastinator masquerading as a writer, derping away at the keyboard telling stories about explosions and mobs. But *deep breath* here I go:
Growing up, I occasionally wrote stories when I was bored, but I pretty much disliked...

That’s very vague D; I LIKE TERRIBLE MUSIC EXCEPT FOR THE MUSIC MY FRIENDS RECOMMEND ME. I listen to a lot of indie pop, folk, and kpop so I CAN MAKE A MIX OF WHICHEVER. I was going to make a badass females of kpop mix and a summer mix, because it’s always summer here lol.
That makes you more optimistic than either of them! Don a bit of Team Clemence wear (green, naturally) in the...

I DO FEEL BAD. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE SOME OF THESE ASKS ARE REALLY OLD D: I honestly would love to put writing at the top of my priorities because that sounds great. I have more and more ideas every day (there is this glorious Hugo and Albus spin-off sequel that I thought of that I know I will never be able to write). And I feel ridiculously bad mostly because I did keep promising to update...

so updating today is not happening to the surprise of no one hem hem.
D: but I am actually writing things??? sometimes I want to explain exactly how sluggishly I write, but I also estimate knowing that the very last day before I post a chapter, I miraculously spit out 1500 words, and I always hope that today is that day.
The problem with estimating and me is that when I write, what I write on...

3-tweet story: 1. setting / 2. external character description / 3. internal character description
The tractors were flying low today. Ten maws of teeth scraping by high-rises, expelling clouds swallowed from the mountains.
She watched, stuck out the window like a weed, face full of sun. Hair ends curled inwards, tendrils of heat-death red.
If it rains more dust than water, the zinnias won't make...
