#u don't even need a beta reader just. skim thru ur writing to make sure it at least makes sense

Finished reading a fic where, at one point they unintentionally unkilled a character (early on they were established as dead, later on mentioned that they were alive and well- with zero reaction from other characters) and when a commenter pointed it out in confusion the author legit wrote back "what is a story without inconsistencies" I'm gonna scream

#ignore me #I will not name names but. that fic was kinda terrible tbh. #like the plot sounded so good but the writing was just !!!! (muffled screams) #oh oh and then to justify the character's undeath 'they were just in a coma and everyone thought they died but they're fine now :)' #note to aspiring writers: please I beg of u At Least reread what you've written before you post it #u don't even need a beta reader just. skim thru ur writing to make sure it at least makes sense #esp if you write messy! it's ok if u write out of order or take long breaks in between scenes. just pls make sure it makes sense still #oof. I def should've just quit the fic early but I hate-read all 55k and now I'm bitter about it :/
