General Kink Discussion

[criticalkink]

Anon asked for a post where they could discuss fic advice and thoughts while remaining anonymous.

BIG, IMPORTANT NOTE: If any discussion descends into being rude about the cast, the characters, other members of fandom, or anything else, this post will go away and y'all can go make an anonmeme somewhere else. This is not for snark, it's for discussion and conversation that people do not feel comfortable having on Tumblr. Only offer concrit on people's comments if they specifically request it, and do be constructive about it.

And for the love of the Everlight, don't kinkshame, even in a "well, I don't like watersports, but maybe you could blah blah blah" way. Stick with the advice, not the judgment.

Anon is on, IP logging is off.

Re: Characterisation patterns, I guess?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh man, my downfall is slipping my OTP's in every goddamn fic I write, even if it's tiny nods in the background/subtext of other pairings. This has hit me harder with my Crit Role fics than pretty much anything else I've ever written for haha. It strengthens my characterisations for those involved and means that when I write those specific pairings it comes through really strong, but I struggle to write outside of that pairing with one or both of the characters once the OTP it's cemented in my mind.

Also being openly Poly myself, it just kinda of happens in all my writings that everyone loves everyone and has all of the feelings ever... probably me projecting onto characters, but I love writing from experience so I take it in my stride.
