I Write Like. Analyze your writing!


Really? I’ve never read a thing by him. And I tried this with two chapters from my novel and got the same result. Now I’m wondering why. And also thinking maybe I should read one of his books. I guess this is a good thing?

*Sits back while that gifset explodes.* Welcome to Superwood, minions friends >___>

Come to the dark side, children. And by children I mean consenting adults. We have excellent porn, and all sorts of interesting uses for magic, aliens, gourmet coffee and metaphysical appendages.

…sometimes all at once.

I love my tumblr friends. And Superwood.

I adore the way fan fiction writers engage with and critique source texts, by manipulating them and breaking their rules. Some of it is straight-up homage, but a lot of [fan fiction] is really aggressive towards the source text. One tends to think of it as written by total fanboys and fangirls as a kind of worshipful act, but a lot of times you’ll read these stories and it’ll be like ‘What if Star Trek had an openly gay character on the bridge?’ And of course the point is that they don’t, and they wouldn’t, because they don’t have the balls, or they are beholden to their advertisers, or whatever. There’s a powerful critique, almost punk-like anger, being expressed there—which I find fascinating and interesting and cool.

This is very true – I’ve seen innumerable fanfics of people saying, “I could do this better than they did.”

And quite frequently, they do.
