![]() Author has written 8 stories for Death Note, Naruto, Harry Potter, League of Legends, and Soul Eater. the wonderful egg lord forgives you for being sad about all of them incomplete stories because I'm a shitty writer and I'll probably never get one done I love yall This is the cover photo to "Lifeless Eyes" that I drew is... on my deviantart that fanfiction refuses to link My deviantart is the name "Astrothium" so if you really do a good search you could find it. (jk I only have like 5 pics on there) h t t p : / / astrothium . deviant art . c o m / art / I - Am - Afraid - 664906585 and if this ever works : Cover for "Lifeless Eyes" fanfic pet peeve Stop putting song lyrics in your fanfiction. Lyrics often repeat many times, too many times, and the repetition isn't good at all for a flow of a story. If you want to convey a interesting emotion or something new that your writers have not felt, a song is not the way to go. A poem maybe is. The poem has to be short, (obviously if you're no good at poem writing don't do that, borrow someone else's), and it can't take up too much space. Songs are no good on paper. Even if they're supposed to be poems, they're also designed to sound good with instrumentals. Poems are meant for paper, are easy on the eyes, and you don't have to read a repetitive chorus. In fact, whenever I see a song in a fanfic, I skip it. I don't know how many other people also do this, but I do NOT wanna read a lyrical rendition of your favorite band no matter how moving it is, even if it's MY FAVORITE SONG. I only wrote this rant because I saw someone had put a song in one of their pretty good fanfics and I skipped over it, even though it was a song I liked. Fuck that, if you want a song in your fanfic, put it in the author's notes at the beginning or end or something. Even in between, but don't interrupt the text with song lyrics. Name the song and who its by. I'm sure youtube will be kind enough to provide anyone with a perfect rendition of what it actually sounds like and not some washed up version on paper. |
