me, seeing a fic writer I like in the comments of an random fic

Applying this for bts would be like:

• The driver - Jimin

• The instigator - Taehyung

• The voice of reason - Hoseok

• The distracted one - Joon and Kook, for sure.

• The observer - Yoongles

• The Wild Card - Seokjin

bts dynamics are so fun irl already, they're amazing to write in fanfic istg

Tips from a Beta Reading Writer

This one's for the scenes with multiple characters, and you're not sure how to keep everyone involved.

Writing group scenes is chaos. Someone’s talking, someone’s interrupting, someone’s zoning out thinking about breadsticks. And if you’re not careful, half your cast fades into the background like NPCs in a video game. I used to struggle with this so much—my characters would just exist in the scene without actually affecting it. But here’s what I've learned and have started implementing:

✨ Give everyone a job in the scene ✨

Not their literal job—like, not everyone needs to be solving a crime or casting spells. I mean: Why are they in this moment? What’s their role in the conversation?

My favourite examples are:

The Driver: Moves the convo forward. They have an agenda, they’re pushing the action.

The Instigator: Pokes the bear. Asks the messy questions. Stirring the pot like a chef on a mission.

The Voice of Reason: "Guys, maybe we don’t commit arson today?"

The Distracted One: Completely in their own world. Tuning out, doodling on a napkin, thinking about their ex.

The Observer: Not saying much, but noticing everything. (Quiet characters still have presence!)

The Wild Card: Who knows what they’ll do? Certainly not them. Probably about to make things worse.

If a character has no function, they’ll disappear. Give them something—even if it’s just a side comment, a reaction, or stealing fries off someone’s plate. Keep them interesting, and your readers will stay interested too.

Daydreaming is an important part of writing. Even without words pouring out onto paper, you're still the author of stories.

im wondering if i should add the porn with plot tag since theres a lota plot, but also lots of porn?🔞

i wish i was part of the first group

only sort of related to the wip meme that's going around, i'm curious, now: how do you, personally, organise your wips?

this does not feel like a poll kind of situation—it's a 'just reply or reblog and add to the body of the post' kind of deal. please feel free; i'm genuinely curious.

kind of experiencing this as an author. drafts are out of hand and my calculations were BAD (as to how long the story would be as a whole)

fanfic authors b like ‘haha this chapter got a little out of hand it’s a little longer like 60k words’

babes that’s a novel. you wrote a novel.

keep up the good work you guys inshallah the stress gets to be too much :)
