I’m Topic™️

im gonna steal from Hot Topic™

Writing x Characters When You Aren’t x, A Masterlist

x: a variable used to represent something unknown.

We’ve seen an influx of questions about how to write stories based around characters of color, disability, non-binary, etc. when the author does not fall into these categories. Rather than have these posts take over the site, we’ve decided to compile a list of resources to help our fellow writers become more educated about writing what they do not immediately know. However, this list is not the end-all-be-all of knowledge; one should always try to learn from someone with first hand experience in any topic. The world is constantly growing and changing, and because of that, there will always be more to learn. The admins at Plotline Hotline want to help writers form respectful, informed, and realistic characters that broaden the narrow range we see in literature today. 

*Be wary that some of the topics listed below contain sensitive material. Reader discretion is advised.* 

As always, the links I found to be especially apt will be in bold. Topics are listed alphabetically, excepting the “other” section.

I WAS attACKED

by Viretta91

Peter Parker was looking forward to summer vacation at the Avengers Compound. Then, after an apocalypse on Asgard, the Avengers actually show up. Juggling his secret identity, complicated team relationships, and trying to keep Mr. Stark from going crazy all while Pepper orchestrates an Avengers media blitz isn’t easy. But then again, nothing good ever is. All he has to do is last until Tony and Pepper’s wedding when May gets back from California. He can do this.
