reading my own fics as a reference for a new wip and squinting at it like "how the hell did I do that"

someone I follow on the bird app just announced they’re starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they’re reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic

I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS

I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there’s 10,000 other people that will continue…but if you participate in a fic “book club” server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?

the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don’t rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit “post”

I could not resist

It feels like this every time I write a fic

valentines "I love you" prompts 💐

notes tucked beneath your morning coffee

a confession under the glow of a streetlight

tangled hands in the same pocket

a long bus ride sharing a pair of earphones

a box of cookies delivered in the early morning

falling asleep to the glow of the television and waking to a blanket pulled over your shoulders

a text from someone you haven't spoken to in too long

shoulders hunched over a chopping board, carefully dissecting fruit to deliver it to you in a bowl

a shared meal

sitting together in the glow of the fireplace and losing track of time

poems

eyes locking across a room

a wordless text with a link to a song

buying yourself a new book or special drink

dressing up because you feel like it

clearing the table without asking

falling into a familiar pattern

lingering a second longer in the comfort of inside jokes

being overly lavish with honest compliments

the dip of a chin as you pass each other in the hallway

communication without truly speaking

The best advice really is to just write. Write badly - purple prose, stilted conversations, rambling descriptions. Don't delete it, pass go, take your $200, save all your garbage in a big folder. Look at how much you've made - it doesn't matter if it isn't perfect, isn't polished, it was practice. Every time you write you learn a little more, and find another piece of your voice.

My not-so-hot writing take for this fine middle of the night: prologues are virtually never necessary, and Origin Of The World prologues are even more virtually never necessary.

And if you are going to write one, it should be very short and damn good.

the most annoying stage of burnout is when i want to write, and i have the urge to write, and somewhere in my skull are the words that want to be written, but they have to get through the cursed minotaur maze first and nobody remembered to bring string

Well I like it but it’s not very well written. Also it’s a visual mess. The plot doesnt make any sense and the creators suck and its politics oscillate from mildly problematic to frankly baffling. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. However. the character
