ok so would you say its plagiarism if you have a story and you based the story off a game and took a characters design and name but changed it up a bit?
if you try to pretend its original, yes. As long as you're willing to admit the origins of the story, character, and name, then no, it's a fanfic, like a million other great things :)
thanks! i based my story of of FNAF
so im curious can we like share our story on here and yall give tips or feedback..?
This works too! You can certainly do this if you want :)
also if I PM you the story will you give me your feedback and tips

if i may, in 'book of a thousand days' (a great read, totally recommend) the main character sings on separate notable occasions and 'the mucker songs' are something notable in story and worldbuilding, you could check it out.
but the way i'd do it would be:
"the melody had a jaunty note about it. up and down the song went, he sang so loudly everyone was forced to listen. the sound was more like one you'd hear in a bar full of drunken sailors rather than a cold, harsh night like this. but it did it's job and people began joining in and laughing."
or
"the melancholy sound was so sad it could make a statue cry. her song carried over the distance, the depressing highs and sudden low would make one think there was a funeral. apart from teary tune it was beautiful."
i hope this may help :)
thats some pretty solid advise
("she quietly hummed her favorite melody as she settled in. a 'la dee da' here, and a "hum hu-hum' there she quickly fell fast asleep.")
(these are kinda fun to write lol)

no not at all it was good!!
oh oh, @im-with-stoopid i wanted your opinion on my suggestions that got a little buried
It's really good! I guess my issue is that I just don't have a lot of experience with music in writing, so I really didn't know where to start-
Looking into more musical vocab is also helping out. Thanks! ^^
anybody got any tips for romance?
so in my story, the pair in question have known each other for years, and are in an in-between place– between best friends and, like Insert thing that means mutual crushes but less papery and cliche. they both have big feelings for each other but this would be their first relationship like this.
me, I cant draw from experience any more than I already have cause ive never gotten past the mutual-crushes-plus-best-friends stage.
also kissing? how write? just for future reference?
Okay. Kissing does NOT have to be super described. Something like- they've done something traumatic- one leans in, kisses the other. Surprise, a slap, ten minutes of apologies.
Kissing only needs to be super descriptive is you're being spicy with it methinks
