Yeah I'm always on the brink of deleting soooo much of my stuff bc honestly some of it I wrote when I was like 15 and it's like. Dude. No.
At some point I will have a proper clear through I think (I can't believe it's 100k either idek what I was doing hahahaahha my poor beta. One of the reasons it's so bad as well is that neither of us realised that epithets are so annoying and I had a few and then more got added and now whenever I look at it I drown in 'the blond's and 'the younger man's XD ;_;)
Avacados at love (Foggy/Matt) Guacamole (Foggy/Karen/Matt bc they're the avacados and she's the little red bits) Something involving eggs for Fisk We need some more cracky ship names
My English skills have gotten terrible lately (1 part cognitive fog, 2 parts not writing anything but memes) I have 15+ prompts in Notepad that have 2-3 finished sentences and a paragraph more of key ideas in bizarre, unreadable gibberish. It takes a frustratingly long time to wrangle ideas into legible, semi-grammatical English (and fogging up quickly doesn't help.)
I think I'm being careful about my vocab and the minute I post something to the meme so it can't be fixed I'll realize I used a distinctive word distinctively in three distinct paragraphs one after another, blah. :P
(man, that sucks: sending best wishes for the fog to clear, as it were)
Oh god that sounds like me. I have a massive note on my phone that's just link after link and then loads of incomprehensible nonsense next to each one and I look at them like....wut.
And the other day I posted a fic to ao3 like yup that's ready and then spent like 40 minutes editing it then saving it then finding something else and editing it again and then finding something else...people reading it could probably see it changing as they read ahahahaha help
It's a new art form, Shifting Literature. Like how the poem Howl is different with each performance lol
Best advice I've gotten on editing is to read your piece out loud. Your ear will pick up things your eyes didn't (not to mention the errors that you stop noticing when you've been staring at the same page for hours)
Karedevil Clairedevil Beardevil Nairdevil (Fisk or Charlie/Bodywax) Prayerdevil (Lantom or Catholicism) Despairdevil (no explanation needed) Billionairedevil (Stark or Batman) Solitairedevil (Martyrdom and loneliness)
My best editing tip is to read your piece backwards, one sentence at a time. It won't help much for flow, but it's invaluable for picking up typos and re-use of words. The theory is that after writing, reading and editing a piece, you know how it goes and your expectations of what's there get in the way what's actually written on the page. It works pretty well for me most of the time, but YMMV of course.
You can find it here. http://40.media.tumblr.com/6ce245a436d1b71b92e703ad21d86ad0/tumblr_inline_nqboubPUSO1rvpdg2_500.png I think this was the most updated one I made? TBH, I don't know if that one room exists or not. The bathroom doesn't have furniture, and ignore the green thing in the middle of the living room. (This program allows you to take photos as if you were standing in the room, and that's the camera.) Of course it's not perfect, but it's pretty close.
I searched every comment ever posted to this comm and that Foggy fighting bad guys one is the only prompt that's ever mentioned Mighty Ducks, so, idk. Maybe it was on tumblr or something?
