Right? I'm a chronic overthinker and over-explainer and it is crazy difficult to project his kind of "Everything I say is either extremely insightful or extremely indicative of my goldfish attention span and if it's the first one I'm not explain any of the steps I took to get there"

absolutely galling when I'm trying to write a scene and I know all the beats I want to hit, I know all the things I need to happen, but the dialogue Just. won't. flow I think some of it is that I just find writing Luffy dialogue exceptionally difficult

Smash or pass but it's whether you'd write smut of them or not

Put a little writing report on tumblr bc I've been feeling like I've been making no fic progress but actually I kind of wrote LOTS of #lulaw this month
Screenshot of a tumblr post reading:
September 2026 Writing Tally
September total wordcount: 28,235

Spent this month working on One Piece lulaw WIPs. Nothing posted though!  ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄

2519 words
working title: how are you always sandwich filling when you don’t even like bread
gist: Law falls in love for the first time, with Luffy. This is awkward because he's already slept with half of their mutual acquaintances.

25,716 words
working title: honestly the working title is just a longass ramble right now that I'm trying to hash into something sensible. but my working meta file is titled 'heart keeps beating'
gist: this is the novelesque a4a lulaw. Law strips himself down to nothing in his effort to take down Doflamingo, which is supposed to be his life's achievement. The hard part isn't finding new things to live for, it's letting himself have them.

Completely forgot how Law turned on a dime from "we need to get the hell out of here NOW" to "let me give you a blow by blow of all of Stealth Black's moves and gear in Sora, Warrior of the Sea, while the actual real Stealth Black fights a dinosaur. I'm not a nerd!! everyone knows this stuff"

i think i am especially just maybe being a little too asdkfal;sdkfjas;ldk about stressing that I'm writing luffy and/or law out of character. i know some of it is i'm just not all that used to writing either of them and i'm feeling it out but goddamn jesus christ i want to punt my brain into a pond

the trick to writing when you can't write is to psyche your brain out like "ah, welp. time for bed. I'm going to bed now" or to trick it into thinking you have somewhere to be in 20 minutes

Birdie @cbirdrabble.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
I think what this fic needs is a later arc where everyone's like "look the WG really wants Robin, Vivi, and Law, so we need to circle the wagons and keep them away from the WG" and the three of them are like No. currently in my working notes as the "the princesses refuse to stay in the tower" arc

Alright I'm on the serious struggle bus here writing SO I'm doing 20 minute sprints and posting my wordcounts here Currently working on the longass lulaw fic, arc 1, focused in a bit that I think will be near the start of ch2 Starting count: 40187

Birdie @cbirdrabble.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Yeah synonyms are tough in smut 😂 bc it can feel repetitive but a lot of possible words are total boner kills, or might not make sense for the pov character to use. Obviously depends on the point of the scene but my attitude is that if the point is horniness then heck go full throttle
000
Birdie @cbirdrabble.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Ok entirely serious here The first time I wrote a smut fic I had the same problem and the way I got past it was literally just listing the words I felt awkward writing and typing them like twenty times each until they didn't even look like real words anymore

LOL sorry if it came off as a total non sequitur, I commented on it bc 95% of my fics are just smut 😂 dealing with this level of plottiness is out of my usual wheelhouse.

Birdie @cbirdrabble.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
the text color coding is kind of the same tbh, though I've been struggling to keep my thoughts organized for the overall thing because it's so big and unwieldy 😂 i keep wishing i had a massive whiteboard. or some way to index/tag my "thoughts to incorporate somewhere" crap. but ah well lol

Birdie @cbirdrabble.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
for this fic to keep track of all the things I'm trying to juggle I ended up kind of doing a thematic outline, just sketching out how different ideas shift over each arc. you know. like a color coding obsessed maniac.
A screenshot of a table. The column headers read PRIORITY, Arc 1: Excision and Sacrifice, Arc 2: Return and Overwhelm, Arc 3: Acceptance and Integration. The PRIORITY column lists color-coded themes, which have long, unreadably small paragraphs for each of the Arc columns. The Priority lists The Mission (red), Medicine/Identity as a Doctor (orange), Carrier of a Legacy (purple), Political and Moral Conviction (blue), The Hearts (yellow), Friendship/Pro-social ties (green), and Trust and intimacy (pink).

Birdie @cbirdrabble.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
I have an idea of where this is all going but part 1 is way more fleshed out than 3, and when i'm working out new material for 3 i then go back like "how can I lead up to this better in parts 1/2". much 3 is purple "incorporate this idea or a scene like this somewhere" but it's not "in order" yet.
Snapshot of the part 1 doc's page thumbnails; the text is about half black and half orange, with spots of purple.A thumbnail snapshot of part of doc 3. Most of the text is purple, with areas of orange and spots of blue.

Birdie @cbirdrabble.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
2. three of actual draft, one for each arc of the fic, bc i get overwhelmed if a doc or its outline is too long. They're currently about 40k, 30k, and 15k respectively. 3. the dungeon, where i throw text if I cut a lot out, just in case I want it later or for something else.
110
Birdie @cbirdrabble.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Usually I would do this all in one doc but this fic is significantly longer and more complicated than anything else I've written, so instead I've got five on the go: 1. meta commentary on themes, structure, stuff I don't know where to put yet, and thoughts so far on title/tags/summary.
110
Birdie @cbirdrabble.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
this approach helps me get past areas where I might be stuck on how exactly I want to word something or how to transition. I write it as specifically as I'm feeling in the moment but mostly want to just keep moving and getting ideas/words out, and then come back and move or clean them up later.
110
Birdie @cbirdrabble.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
I have a color coding system for material in my drafts: blue - meta notes purple - super rough blobs that need to be broken down orange - getting there in terms of structure/imagery black - Actually Sentences Now green - dialogue/action explicitly in canon, to reference/keep/adjust/cut
Screen shot of a page navigator sidebar in Word of 8 page thumbnails. the text is mostly orange with areas of green, black, blue, and purple.Screenshot of a Word doc, demonstrating blue meta text. A header reads "traveling to Dressrosa on the Sunny". Blue text then reads "Scenes I think I need somewhere in here: - Settle in a clearer 'before but hinting there' with Luffy state  - Robin and/or Usopp?"Screenshot of a Word doc reading:
[in black] Law is the captain. He doesn’t have to explain jack shit.
[in orange] No. Ends up blowing it off as a whim. And notes it was an interesting surgery. 
Another long drink of coffee, ignores his crew reactions/looking at each other like “this again”. Low interpretation.
Never picked lava out of someone’s chest before. Have to add it to the collection of weird crap we’ve taken out of people.
[in purple] Extend this out a little, illustrate the dynamic.
[in orange] Transition in differently or swing the convo back around to why they’re doing this,
[in black] It doesn’t matter what his reasons were. The thing has been done, and now he’s

Birdie @cbirdrabble.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
with a "capture everything instead of expressing it well" mindset, and then I jump around in my draft(s) either adding more material as it occurs to me or reorganizing/cleaning up/editing the parts I've already blobbed out).
110
Birdie @cbirdrabble.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
I do outline, though not very formally, and I write whatever is speaking to me at the time rather than trying to do things in "order". my general process for fics is blobbing out my rough ideas or dialogue or what have you to whatever degree of specificity I'm thinking of it out the time,

Your draft knows when it's past your bedtime and it's always most amenable to be written then. Or if you are already running late to something

I'm slowly picking away at this damn brick of a fic that's got D/s sorta acespec lulaw bt now i got an idea gnawing at me almost purely bc i thought of a title I think is hilarious where feelings-averse law is crushing hard on luffy but has slept with like half their mutual acquaintances

Cons of writing longfic: it takes foreverrrr and it's so hard to organize it all and keep track of shit Pros of writing longfic: get tired of one section? jump to a completely different part of the story and it reads fresh bc I forgot about half of what I wrote while working on other bits

ahahaha I love writing the Heart Pirates #op #trafalgarlaw
Screenshot of a text document reading:
“We’re third cousins,” Shachi insists stridently, jabbing the table.
Law rolls his eyes in the shadow of his hat brim. Not this again.
“Nooo,” Penguin says with exaggerated patience, “we’re second cousins once removed.”
“No, because you add them! Second plus once is third. You’re making it too complicated!”
“That’s not how it works, they’re different things –“
“We’ve been over this a hundred times,” Law snaps. “You’re both.”
Shachi shakes his head. “No—"
“I don’t think you can be both,” Penguin says.
“You can, and it’s common on small islands to have multiple interrelations among established local families.”
Ikkaku grins like a shark that smells blood in the water, leaning heavily her elbow to point gleefully at Law. “So you’re saying they’re inbred.”
“Hey!” both idiots chorus, outraged.

key to my headcanon of trafalgar law is that he's 100% the kind of guy who in another life would be doing a lot of recreational drugs to deal with The Horrors but because he's so paranoid and repressed and focused on his goals he is out here consciously raw-dogging that shit

Right. "Fiction affects reality" ie, common stereotypes can be spread and reinforced if that fiction is the main contact a population has with those ideas. Nobody is out here reading a fanfiction about serial killers and going "Oh, so Murder is Sexy and Good, Then"

Any time someone makes this argument it seems like clear evidence that either they have never engaged with any media meant for an adult audience, or they have not put nearly as much critique toward professionally published works as they do hobbyists writing for free.
