#WritersCoffeeClub 18 The eye of the duck: Share a ‘nonessential’ scene in one of your works that ties the piece together.

Like others, I am puzzled by the idea of nonessential but tying things together. I suppose it scene that could be written around but is primarily there to inform.

The following scene is from the early portion of "Konbini Idol," and sets up characterization for two MCs and rational why Ume is looking for a girlfriend when she is married.

I see. I understand. And I thought I was privileged. Ego shattered.

But I am surprised you haven't seen anyone else it a very popular hashtag. Are the connections of Sakurajima social that bad?

@NullNowhere

Haha, amazing what a difference POV can make. As a general comment rather than a response to my answer and it now makes sense. Thank you for clearing up my misunderstanding.

@NullNowhere

Sorry, I don't really get what you're driving at.

For example, I make no mention of "just asking questions." It is also not the kind of lit. I write. I don't set out what-ifs.

Certainly, I agree that an author's philosophy and beliefs will show up in their writing. Mine do. But I don't know how that relates to ethics or the moral guidelines I follow.

If somehow you took one of my comments as being stated as a universal rule all authors should follow, I think I clearly stated that morals are individually constructed, not universal.

Feel free to explain if you wish.

#WritersCoffeeClub 1st June. Are there ethical principles fiction must adhere to? What are they?

I learned them and use the term:

Morals are internal, personal values
Ethics are rules set by a governing agency.

So there would be no blanket ethical code for writers.

I publish on AO3 and PIXIV, and as such, I am bound by their TOS. They are different, and sometimes my writer shows the difference.

I also have a moral code which includes:
* no plagiarism
* no lewding real people
* giving credit for anything I borrow.
* If I must punch, punch up.
* Trigger tag appropriately
* Avoid *ism(s) and correct transgressions when they are pointed out to me.
* Treat fellow writers and my team with respect.
* Pay a fair amount for purchased services such as art.

I am sure there are others. I strive to be a high-class moral person.
