Ok, not THAT bad, but still some I didn’t know at all, so when you use them, I’ll have to have my dictionary open!
It’s just a very Pinto trope from the early fandom, based on their word wars during interviews… I’ve had to look up words in those early fics too.
brine is actually any water with salt in it.
True. I actualy didn’t read through the entire list, just saw the list of rare and sometimes polysyllabic words and instantly reblogged to try to deflect any plot bunnies…

Oh, look! Summer vacation wordplay list…any Bean want to take on suave sesquipedalian seduction on the beach?
Creating is hard. The characters rebel against the plot, the background is still not coloured, sometimes the words just won’t come to you. But you have to power through and write it anyways. So how do you find the motivation?
We are continuing our mini series of writing workshops this Sunday at 1PM eastern. @svengooliecat and @spiritofcamelot will be leading a workshop to diagnose the cause of no motivation and to share some tricks for overcoming the slump. Whether this is you at the moment or you want tricks for the future, we welcome you joining us!
How it will work:
Your host has organized some discussion topics and activities, but we welcome any burning questions you have or tips you would like to share.
It will be primarily hosted in the writer’s corner on our Slack channel (message @spiritofcamelot or @castillon02 or anyone else on slack if you need an invite).
When is it?
We will start at 1pm EDT/6PM BST(full time conversions below the cut) and we estimate it might last 2-3 hours. Jump in any time though.
What if I can’t make it?
The materials from each lesson will be made available to view the next day in our outline collection and you are welcome to ask questions anytime on slack.
We hope you will find this useful and maybe even a bit of fun. We have some other topics planned and are very excited about how this will go. Hope to see you there!

This is getting good
Thank you!!!
I’ve started using Grammarly (because I’m a crap typist, and webforms are hell) and I don’t really need it for fanfic because I have awesome betas, but it REALLY hates this story when the boys are legitimately texting incorrectly. Like, it Identified 40 errors this chapter, all but three of which I ignored. Poor Grammarly. Trying to be so helpful and I’m all “Nope I meant to do that… Zach’s clumsy atm”
