I’m not sure how I feel about the tone of the conversation here. Marian seems more open to letting Regina be with Robin.
I’m curious, when writing a chapter and there’s dialogue between characters, anyone actually see the scene as its played like a movie in their head? I tend to visualize more how I want my characters to respond to each other when I actually see them together. And it’s in wide screen format, not sure why but it is.
Great idea for a thread.
One thing I learnt from writing a multi-chapter fic is get yourself a few chapters ahead before you start posting them (if it’s going to be a long story, if it’s a shorter one then it doesn’t matter so much). If you’re posting each chapter as you finish it, then when the dreaded writer’s block strikes, gaps between updates start to get longer and longer which puts more pressure on you to get something written which may not end up as being as of good quality as the rest of the fic.
Yup, I’ve been through this. I start posting a fic and then hit a serious writer’s block, I just drop the fic in the middle of posting. That’s why I try now to finish up multi-chapters before posting so I don’t leave my readers’ waiting.
But I know I have a lot of unfinished fanfics, even unposted unfinished fanfics. They’re just sitting saved somewhere.
After episode 311 there was a TVline report in which A and E clarified that Mal wasn’t the Black Fairy and that we had never seen the Black Fairy before. Now, they could go back on that if they wanted, but it is out there.
Where is that? I don’t remember reading it.
The forum ate up my post!!
I guess this means Cruella is magical. Which is kind of disappointing because she wasn’t magical in the cartoon, just obsessed with fur and puppies. But I guess, on the other hand, if A&E brought her on Once as is, that would have peeved a lot of dog lovers in the fandom. PETA would have a fit too.
Solution, make her magical.
It’s been a very good last two weeks for Captain Swan in the media and in social media.

I’ve been writing fan fiction for a long time. Only two tips I can think of and both refer to writing multi-chapter fics.
The thing I do nowadays when working on a MC fic is write out as much as possible in one document first and then, when the story gets to be like 20-30 pages long, split it up into chapters. I’ve always found MC fics intimidating to write and hard to finish.
But when you’re not thinking about chapter length to start, it’s less scary.
The other thing, is after splitting up said fic into chapters, keep the writing consistent. Work on it everyday. No breaks. That’s what I did with my CS fic, If You Love Me. I had an idea and just ran with it.
Action scenes I know are hard to write. I write angst better than action, although one could argue writing a “taco” scene is action and can be tricky too.
Just don’t force it. It’s good to have an idea for how it should go but don’t force the action in the writing.
Also, watching movie scenes similar to what you want help too.
Awesome idea for a thread btw.
