Declutter Tumblr

The new layout it a whole mess. Thankfully Xkit can already help with a bunch of this! I'm sure it'll give more options soon.

Vanilla Tumblr: (I have marked in red what can be removed. The tabs can be set not to stick, so you will really only see them at the top of your dash. Empty box on the left for hidden notifications and shop sparkle, i just didn't have any. I'm EU so no Live for me).

Xkit Rewritten Tumblr:

The settings I use:

Hello!!!! Do you have any tips / prompts for slowburn? Or romance in general? It's been a long time since i wrote about love and I think I'm rusty ;;;

Hi :)

Here are some tips for writing slow burn romance.

Slow burn

Slowing it down

make it slow, but not too slow. Give the readers little moments and interactions at first and then show how they develop a deeper connection over time

you need realistic reasons for why they are not together yet

here are two lists of reasons why people break up while still loving each other and for forbidden love that you could both use

Chemistry

make it realistic, a couple with good chemistry needs to be balanced

they need to have similarities to make them connect, but don’t just agree with everything the other one is doing

same goes for contradicting traits, it is important to show the differences and working around them makes for a good partnership, but don’t have them fight constantly

Don’ts

slow burn is often full of mistakes, misunderstandings and problems, but your characters should never do something that is unforgivable for the other person

don’t make one person totally unlikable without a believable redemption arc and the other person to be a sweetheart, because chances are, the readers may not even want them to be together in the end

don’t make the pair dysfunctional without giving the reader reason to believe that they better themselves and their relationship, otherwise the reader will leave the happy ending feeling like this is not going to work out in the long run and is therefore really unsatisfying

Prompts

I don’t have specific prompts for slow burn right now, but check out my romance tag if there is something in there that inspires you. Here are two older prompts I instantly thought of (from this post).

“We don’t have to go quick if you feel uncomfortable. I just need to know that we’re moving somewhere.”

“I just can’t. Not right now.” “That’s ok. Is it alright if I wait for you?“

Have fun!
