Writing Tip 4

Rather self explanatory today. Whether you're writing a fanfiction or a novel, do your research. I can't explain how many times I've stopped reading a story because of iPods in the 80s, matches in 307 BC, indoor plumbing in plague ridden England during the Dark Ages. Seriously, it's impressive when a writer adds history or cultural facts to their story (particularly fanfiction, which I love, but is riddled with problems). I don't mean just use Wikipedia, skim through history books or read up on villages or other countries. I promise in the end it'll make you feel good and further your pride in your work. Publishing companies also will usually throw your work automatically out for not researching things, if the above wasn't incentive enough.

Hey all! Becky here with a quick reminder that we do accept and post story submissions. We mods aren’t just promoting our own writing but others as well. The only major requirement is that you have a specific inspiration for your story or snippet and that you duly credit it in your submission. Check out our submission page for more info. Thanks for all your support so far and here’s to more great stories.

@janeopries sorry, not sorry.

planning horrible headcanons with your friends but accidentally crossing the line like

I'm not even slightly sorry.

I couldn't agree more.

PSA

// You’re allowed to change your OC’s.

Seriously, they’re YOUR OC’s. It doesn’t matter if you made them 3 weeks ago or 3 YEARS ago. You’re allowed to change them however you like. If you feel a certain headcanon suits them better, even if it’s been 5 years down the track from when you started writing them, then change them! 

Your OC’s belong to you and no one else. You’re allowed to change them as many times as you like–both physically and mentally. 

Characters grow over time, just like people. Certain parts of their story might not come to light until months after writing them. And just when you think you know who your OC is, something else springs up and might explain why they are a certain way. Embrace that change and growth. Understand and accept who your OCs are, even if they are a villain muse. Let yourself know that they’re allowed to grow as we, the writers, do. They will shape and form with us.

You’re allowed to change your OC’s, and no one has the right to tell you that you can’t. <3
