It's fanfiction it doesn't have to be perfect it doesn't have to be accurate this is a hobby you're doing this for fun it's okay if it isn't perfect and polished you're doing it for fun [talking to myself in the mirror]

New idea: instead of writing the fic, you come over to my house and I tell you the entire plot while I pace my tiny kitchen. There’s a cup of tea, warm in your hands. The words don’t stop and the affection never leaves your expression.

Not to toot my own horn but I've written 3 sentences in the last week after not writing for 2 months.

Reblog to give the person you reblogged from the ability to finish their WIPs

#please #i have written like 2 things so far this year

[kittsfics]

Cody defects and finds himself where all depressed outlaws end up (Tatooine). He picks up odd jobs, maybe an off book bounty or two. Mostly just junk collecting since he can't be on the books and showing his face is dangerous. He's doing some scrap salvage in the desert one day and his metal detector goes off.

He takes out his shovel and digs and finds a box with two lightsabers.

Familiar lightsabers.

Cody always did have luck finding Obi-Wan's missing saber.

#i am having thoughts 👀

I call upon the fan fic writing gods to bless you with the perseverance to finish one of your unfinished drafts. 

May your fingers dance along the letters upon your device with ease, may the devil of distraction stay far from you, and may your work not need much editing.

I pass this blessing upon every fan fic writer out there.

I want to write my fic I want to write my fic I want to write me fic---

Coday Fics 🧡

I was planning to do three fics for @codyday2224 and I've managed to get 1 and a half done despite being ill!

So:

The Sun Will Rise Again

It started where everything did with them, Kamino. They'd watched as the sky slowly lightened to a deep orange, then slowly gained more yellow gold as the sun itself started to rise, conversations quieting around him. The clouds had cast deep shadows but the waves sparkled and reflected the rich colours. He'd never seen anything like it, all their training had so far been deep in the buildings, far from the sky and focused even then on tactics and warfare.

Or; 5 sunrises as seen by Marshal Commander Cody

The Ones That Survive

He whips round the instant he sees rough brown robes against the white walls, turning his back as quickly as he can, staring back the way he came. As much as he feels like nothing so much as a tangle of grief, regrets and, honestly, joint pain made human most days, there's enough of Cody left under all that (under the deteriorating remains of the chip in his brain) to protect whatever kriffing idiot decided something called The Death Star was the place to be.

Or; A Chance Encounter and how Cody joins the Rebellion

Chapter 1/2 Uploaded

I have the outlines of chapter 2 of Survivors as well as a Force Sensitive Cody fic done and 🤞can get them finished and uploaded in the next week.

(I did also build the lego Cody helmet today, that did take up writing time today but was absolutely worth it)

No no no you don't understand. I don't want to write a fic. I want to have written a fic. These things are not the same.

#am i ever going to do anything but reblog posts about not writing but wanting to? #um

Writing Advice: How to Create Conflict when Your Characters are Competent.

Featuring Leverage, the ultimate in Competency Porn.

Make them so good it gets them in trouble. So you've got a hacker and he's the best, definitively. Okay, well, one of his fake IDs just got called for jury duty. You pretended to be a psychic so well, someone kidnapped you to talk to a dead crime lord.

Make them targets. You're so good, enemies you didn't even know about are trying to kill you just so they won't have to take you on in your element. You're being blackmailed into doing a thing because you're the only one that can.

Limit the scope of competency. Sure, you're competent as a fighter, but your hacker is in jail and now you have to do his job and you are not competent in that. Yeah, you can climb a building, but do you know what you need to do to not end up in a crevasse while climbing a mountain?

Raise the stakes. Can you handle extracting a orphan being used by a washed up actress to fund her extravagant lifestyle? Yes. But can you handle extracting 30 orphans being used by the Slovenian mob to fund gunrunning? Maybe all you wanted was to get enough money to buy back a house, but instead you have to ruin the company so that all houses they illegally obtained are returned to their rightful owners.

Make others competent, too. Your characters are the best, but are they the best of the best? If you take you enemy down, do you go, too? If you win, does it make them win? Does it get out of hand and make other people start noticing when you're trying to keep your head down? Do they know every trick in the book and know the next move before you make it?

Make others painfully incompetent. Your characters are the best, but are they woefully unprepared for people who are not even good? Can your hologram hacker roll with it when the vital information is on a casset tape? Is the old mentor up to date on the recent technology, or is he going to screw you because he assumes the cops are just as corrupt/incompetent as when he was young?

Have some standards. Specifically, morals that make it impossible for your characters to back out or gets them in trouble for doing things "off-script." You can't leave on the train someone just stole for you because you've got to go back and stop the bad guys from bombing the IRS (even if we don't like them). You wish you could just say no to that assassin contract and leave, but someone's getting assassinated and you have to stop it because you're a good guy.

Bring up the past. Do you think that bad guy you brutally scarred a decade ago is going to carry a grudge? Do you have to save your ex-wife from the bad guy, who may also be her boyfriend, and if you suggest that she'll shut you out and you won't be able to save her or get paid? It's Draaamaaaa, babee.

genuinely i really admire people who can set aside some time and go Okay I'm Writing Now and then get some writing done, i'm just out here fighting for my fucking life

#god i wish that were me

[kittsfics]

I often think I could be such a good writer if I were better at writing

[kittsfics]

But SIR that's my emotional support unedited 8000+ words of an in-progress fic I can't publish yet because it's not chronological

[kittsfics]

Hello sweet author, would you be okay with me binding* your fic Witness me, Old man, I am the Wild ? I love it dearly and I would love to be able to take it with me everywhere. Thank you so much! 🥰🥰

(*As I've been asked before: binding or fanbiding a fic is the process of typesetting, printing and binding a fic into a book/booklet for personal use or friend gifting; it also carries an idea of putting fanfiction forward as an art form, and assuring its conservation in history)

Ahh!! Go for it!!!! 💚💚

I'd love to be tagged in it if you share it on here

Writing prompt? No. Writing much delayed.

[kittsfics]

Floating face down in a blank word document file, while not physically possible, is nevertheless a tangible authorial state.
