I was wondering if you could explain the Gammas more, I dont think I've seen anything about them outside your blog

Oh! Uh let’s start from the top, shall we?

Okay Gammas are basically scentless since they aren’t born with scent glands. Additionally, their ability to detect the scents of others is very, very dulled and they have the highest chance of being infertile as compared to their Alpha/Beta/Omega counterparts. It is impossible for A/B/O-natured people to suddenly become Gammas via natural means.

The first time Gammas were discussed on this blog, it was said that they’re basically the asexuals of the A/B/O spectrum, but I’d like to tweak that slightly. Gammas are absolutely not affected by the scents/pheromones of those from the other natures at all, most often due to their inhibited scent sensing abilities. While this appears to be fantastic at first glance, many Gammas have actually suffered at the hands of Alphas since they couldn’t detect when the Alpha was feeling pissed off. Either that, or they weren’t able to smell danger before it killed them.

Now for the societal situation of Gammas. They’re honestly pretty invisible as they go about their business in society, mostly because quite a lot of people have never really heard of/come into contact with Gammas. Amongst those who do, however, an unsurprisingly large amount of them discriminate against Gammas due to their “stunted” biology. It’s going to take a lot of work to dispel it, and it’s going to be an uphill battle for them to get the resources they need since there is no widespread understanding. Even raising awareness is difficult due to a lack of representation and support from others in society.

Basically, if you’re a Gamma, just hope that somewhere near you is another Gamma.

Here is the very first fic that I ever wrote 😂 Go and check it out ✨

A few tips from if you want to write well from my own personal experience:

Use correct grammar. I can't stress the importance of this enough. If readers can't understand your story owing to poor grammar, they WON'T like it and what is supposed to be an enjoyable reading experience for them will become a frustrating one instead.

Use vocabulary. Where you can substitute simple words for those that have the same meaning, for e.g. replacing "very afraid" with "terrified", do it. It will have a very good impact on your writing and will give the impression that your story was written by a mature and experienced writer instead of by an elementary school kid.

Break your story up into regular paragraphs. This was a mistake that I made alot in the beginning and it not only made my story difficult to read, but also gave off the impression that it's more of a college essay than a story 😂 (someone even commented that under one of my earliest fics that's how I remember it 💀).

Last but not least and this is my own VERY personal tip: Incorporate plot twists into your story and incorporate them in the most UNEXPECTED places. Keep your readers on the edge of thier seats the whole time they are reading by being throughly unpredictable and giving them the occasional twists and turns when they least expect it. I guarantee you that it will keep readers hooked to your story the whole way :P And especially if your story is already catchy enough and you leave it on a cliffhanger, they will be dying to know what happens next 😉 It's a win win on both sides - you will enjoy writing your story more and they will be fully invested as well.

Tips for writing characters in-character for a story:

So I've heard of a few incidents and even read stories where writers make the personality of a character so OOC that it doesn't even seem like the original character anymore. And this is something that I'd like to address to new writers as a HUGE no no. Most of your readers who are familiar with the characters will be turned off by your story if you continue writing them like this (once in a while is fine and that too don't overdo it). So what can you do to stop making this mistake?

Get to know your characters well. Whenever you are watching a show, focus on thier personality traits. If need be, you can even note it down. Do they swear alot? Are they shy? Are they outspoken? Are they aggressive? etc. You get the idea. Use those traits of theirs in your writing.

If two or more of your characters are starting to sound too much like each other in a story, try focusing on what makes them different from each other. Note down their names on top, make a line in the middle of your page (something like this: |) and then write their separate traits that you pick up on under each of their respective headings.

Character sheets are also a good way to help keep your characters in-character but I've never really tried those so I honestly don't know how effective they are.

Last but not least - try reading the stories that they are in as much as you can so that you can get a general idea of how to write them from others. Sometimes you just need a different perspective. This is especially easy in fanfics, where people are writing the same characters or pairing in HUNDREDS of different fics. Again, you will come across some fics that mischaracterize a character as well but those will be few and far in between when you consider a number in hundreds or thousands. Again because most good writers know what a turn-off mischaracterization is and generally steer clear of it.

Pro tip for new writers: Whenever you get an idea for your writing, jot it down IMMEDIATELY. Use a notebook or your phone's note app to write it down right at that moment in a very rough manner. This way, if it is something that you want to add to your writing but you do not have the time at that moment, you will not forget what it was that you wanted to add. And sometimes you DO get really good ideas. No idea, good or bad, is worth letting it slip through your fingers.

My number one tip for aspiring writers would be:

Write what you want. Do not keep it inside and do not give a crap about what other people would think of it. Thier opinion doesn't matter because they are not the one doing the writing. You are. And don't ever think of your writing as bad. I've heard so many people say "Oh I want to write but I'm not good at it." It doesn't matter if you are not, absolutely no one is at the start. But the more you write, the better you will get at it. Practice makes perfect. Also, read. Like alot. That will really help you in building your vocabulary, expanding your imagination and in giving you a general idea of what writing is. Read whatever you like, be they books or fanfics or even newspapers. Just do it. If you want to adopt a writing style that focuses more on storytelling though, then consume as much fantasy and fiction material as you can ✨

And let me tell you that almost my entire childhood revolved around fiction books, story books and fantasy books. Enid Blyton was especially my go-to. No wonder I turned out to be a fanfic writer 😂😂

A little about myself: My journey as a fanfiction writer started around three or four years back. My first ever anime that I wrote fanfics for was Death Note 😂 I will share my entire journey of writing, from my latest fic to my first one right here on this account at some time as well. Before that, I used to excel at Creative writing in school. My English teacher was super supportive and she always encouraged me to read my writing in front of the class. I have her to thank for my good writing skills today. She was the best teacher that one could have asked for ❤️
