Reminder that there is exactly one month left to Angst Week.
Here are a few things that can hopefully help with the preparation to the event. Hopefully some of these things have been done and discussed with your RP partners.
- The plot. What will happen? Will someone die? How will they die? Will someone be brutally beaten? Will they be blown up to pieces? Will someone be selling their soul to the devil? Hopefully you have discussed with your RP partner on what will happen on your RP.
- The relationship-building. Important thing to note as the angst can’t happen if the relationship isn’t strong. Well, it can, but it’s not as gut-wrenching without that deep connection between you and your RP partner’s character. Hopefully you have built up the relationship by the time September 15th has rolled around if you are planning to take this chance to do some character building.
- If you are not going to do some character building, hopefully your AU is picked and prepared. I suppose this can fall under the plot point above, but it’s never bad to remind the specifics.
- The research. I don’t think there needs to be a reminder for this, because everybody does their fair share of research for their RPs. Hopefully you’ve already done all the extra research. Otherwise, here is a reminder for you to hop to it.
Also, here are a few writing tips and resources just in case anyone would need it.
- Basic Fracture Types
- The Ultimate Survival Guide
- Writing Specific Characters – Advice
- Writing Drunk Characters
- How to Write a Fight Scene
- Crime Scene Science: The Modern Methods for Solving Crimes
- Information on Burns
- Types of Crying
- Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) – Resource for Crime Writers
- How to Write a Death Scene
- Body Language Cheat for Writers
Hopefully that list of resources has helped somewhat and that you guys are all going to erm, enjoy Angst Week. If you can call getting your heart pulled and tugged enjoyment, that is.
Best wishes and good luck~
