Hana’s non-professional, completely personal, oddly specific, very long and explicative list of fluff-writing tips for anyone who may want them:

  • Inspiration is key! I always need a scenario before I even begin typing. If you're not feeling inspired, go watch an animatic or read a fic and a fun idea might come to mind! Even if you don't get inspired immediately, don't worry. Jot down ideas and come back to them later. Maybe you’ll get inspired from them another day.

  • Balance internal and external description. For example, describe what character A feels about character B, then describe what A physically sees on B. When you do this, you effectively describe personality and build your world in your story!

  • If you’re not sure how long you want to write, don’t worry. I never know either. In general, unless you have a long plot in mind, don’t stress. Fluff is infamous for being flustering at the tiniest descriptions, so just go for a one shot if that’s all you got!

  • Get specific and don’t be afraid to go nowhere. Literally. Are the characters lying in bed? On their couch? Outside watching stars? Lovely, now stay there and harp on all the little things that ensue. For example, take stargazing. Write about the warm/cool ground, the grass, the sand, the blanket they’re on, the feeling of lying next to someone, the stars, the dark of night, all those sensory things.

  • Something I’ve learned from writing Karlnapity which has three instead of two characters: stick to writing one character’s perspective. In other words, pretend that you’re writing from only one set of eyes. For me, it reduces confusion. Yes, even in fluff. Though fluff seems loving all around, I think that it benefits to stick to one person’s point of view. Let character A describe what’s happening and let the others show or say what they feel in return toward A.

  • When in doubt with a line, I try to hear the person saying it. If it’s flat or doesn’t match them, I rewrite. This goes for any style, too. But in fluff, think about endearing names or fun speech patterns a certain character has.

  • Use pet names! Not much explanation here, I just love to see it. Pet names are automatically cute.

  • Above all, find your personal voice. My writing tips may be of no help to you! Maybe you don’t want to write from one perspective, or maybe you don’t like using many pet names. Maybe you like writing more jokes, more metaphors, more slang, more dialogue, more detail than me. Everything is valid! This is just how I write.
