A bit of further insight into the many ways adventurers meet their ends.

I want to answer the central argument, taking it as much as I can on face value and inferring as little else as possible: that fanfiction “actively teaches you to write worse.”

Does it?

I agonized over whether this or “bad guy” should be Snow’s theme song.

“Don’t Threaten Me with a Good Time” directly inspired the character that eventually led me to write a whole book. That character is Brass, that book is the one that got me a book deal, and this is his playlist.

Making playlists for your characters is, at worst, a really fun way to procrastinate actually writing.
