Asking out on a date prompts
- "So... you free on Friday?"
- "Long story short, would you like to accompany me on a date?"
- "Can I take you out on a date?"
- "Tell me a time and a place and I'll be there."
- "Let's skip the small talk and just go on a date."
- "I have tickets for that band you like. Want to go with me?"
- "There is a new restaurant down the street. Maybe you would like to try it out together?
- "I have a book full of date ideas. Want to help me trying them out?"
- "Great! It's a date?"
- "There is this event, I got invited to. And it says I could bring a plus one."
- "Not sure if the banner was already obvious enough, but I would like to ask you to be my date."
- "I could show you a good time."
- "Come one, just one night. Then we'll see if the rest of our lives will follow."
- "You and me? Let's try it out."
- "I would love to go with you. Not as friends."

me reading a hurt/comfort fic and one of the characters gets hurt and the other comforts them:

Hey here's a reminder that you're allowed to publish unfinished fics and snippets of fics that you're never going to continue and you're allowed to abandon WIPs and you're allowed to orphan unfinished fics and ficlet collections and you never have to finish a single fic if you don't want to.
And there will always be someone who reads that unfinished work and is happy with it and feels glad that they read it even if it's never continued.
Writing Tips
Punctuating Dialogue
✧
➸ “This is a sentence.”
➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.
➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”
➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”
➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”
➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”
➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.
“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.
“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”
➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”
➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”
However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can ask be “outside”!
➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.
If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)
➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“
“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.
➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.
➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”
➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.
“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”
