Reflection on Reflections - a thematic commentary

When will my reflection show // who I am inside?

Exactly what it says on the tin. This is a commentary on the theme of reflections appearing in my my writing over the past few years entwined with a fic commentary for some stories I'm fond of but can't justify (to myself) a full-blown fic commentary for.

Warning: SPOILERS FOR THE FOLLOWING FICS:

itotoro's in progress superIndex of writing resources

Last updated: 11 March 2024

As promised: A post introducing my free writing resources google drive folder!

Those who've known me for a while know that I'm a huge fan of sharing writing tips. I've been collecting (and making) writing resources into this google drive since 2020 and since then, it's become a little big.

Hence the index!

Fics Sorted by Inspiration

Felt like revisiting my writing history.

I always think about how my fics can be sorted into sources of inspiration:
  • Songs
  • Experiments
  • Dreams
  • Locations (and experiences)
  • "Canon"
Here are some select fics per category and how they were inspired by their respective sources.

> Yes please talk about your fics instead of finishing your WIPs )

Thinker-Doer model and Narrative Voices (Feat. LOONA & Twice)

It's 2022, and I just had the most funny shower thought ever.

I was waiting for some hot water to boil and at the same trying to figure out why I took easily to the narrative voice of some LOONA members (Heejin, Jinsoul) and how to differentiate their voices from the narrative voices of distinctly different members (Chuu, Yves). Like, yeah, these people had different personalities--

Then Bam. I remembered the Thinker-Doer model.

Sunlight Crew - a commentary

tw mentions of covid

I usually stick to google doc annotations when it comes to commentary on my fics, but I think Sunlight Crew is a little deserving of a whimsical dreamwidth post. I'll still have an annotated gdoc for Sunlight Crew but here's some of my musings about it.

Of course there are spoilers! I wouldn't recommend reading this commentary until you've read the fic itself. I may or may not be ruining a lot of the experience with all these unnecessary words, but for those who have, welcome!.

Quick guide to Beta-ing

Hi! Just wanted to put some thoughts together for how to beta, especially for people who have never tried it before. I wrote this out before for a friend who was getting a beta for the first time and i think it'll help both for new writers and new betas.
