How to Write a Scene

Some things you may be wondering about the website:

​

• Why xe/xir?

• OTP? OC? Explain the acronyms!

• I don't see a list of questions that fit my specific scene. How can I request another page?

• Can I add some of my own questions that I use for prompting to your site?

• I don't see my question here. What now?

Some answers:

​

Why xe/xir?

I use xe/xir as a gender neutral set of pronouns throughout this website mostly because it's easier to be consistant with if I need to differentiate between discussing one or multiple people in the same sentence. I also don't stick with one gender or another or choose a different one for each scenario in case it gives off an unwanted vibe (a girl could propose, a boy could love makeup, you may even have a genderqueer character or write from the point of view of an inanimate object)! These would be pronounced xe (zee), xir (zer), xirs (zers), and xirself (zerself). 

​

​

OTP? OC? Explain the acronyms!

As I am a teenager familiar with tumblr slang, OTP stands for One True Pairing - the pair of characters whose relationship (usually romantic) you're the most interested in and most excited about. People can have many OTPs or nOTPs (a play on words to include NO - these characters we DO NOT want together!). OC stands for Original Character, suggesting that this character was created from the author's mind and not based off of any other character or person. Generally the term is used to differentiate between characters in fanfiction, but still I use the word as a synonym for character occasionally.

I don't see a list of questions that fit my specific scene. How can I request another page?

I am currently working on creating a comment section on this website. If I can't get that to work out for whatever reason, check back in a few weeks and I'll get you an emailing option!

​

​

Can I add some of my own questions that I use for prompting to your site?

Absolutely! These lists obviously have no limits and there is much more to think about. See the above question for contacting details, then let me know what page you want to add your question(s) to and I will certainly get it there for everyone else to see and use. Thank you!

​

​

I don't see my question here. What now?

Again, I am working on getting a place for comments and questions, but until then you'll just have to wait it out. Sorry! :(
