When you hunger to read a fanfic that you haven't yet written.

[dude-itz-fiction]

I wish all my writers a happy new year. May all your stories finally be written, sentences be completed, emotions be evoked with beautifully crafted words, readers be moved to tears, the urge to create be satisfied.

why must i write my fic?

is it not enough to just yearn for it to be done so i can read it?

if good story, why not write itself?

if worth my time, why take up so much time?

The feminine urge to write an atyd level fic for new gen Harry Potter where the slytherins have their own marauders-esque friend group and scorpius and albus are the main focus ship. UGHHHHH THE URGUE TO WRITE A FATHER SON ARC FOR AL AND HARRY THAT GOES INTO DETAIL ABOUT HARRYS TRAUMA AND HOW IT EFFECTS HIS PARENTING!! The heavy looming weight of the urge to write a strained sibling relationship for James and albus because they are THEE prodigal son and the cursed child.

THE WAY I WOULD WRITE THE PERFECT FRIENDS TO LOVERS FOR SCOR AND AL . the way I would add the best oc who the fandom will fall in love with and regard as canon for years to come UGHHHH

Guess Who's Back?

Genuary is on for 2025!

What is Genuary? Genuary is a multifandom fanfic event focused on boosting the visibility of gen fic (i.e., fanfic where a romantic relationship is not the focus of the plot). It (formally) takes place during the last two weeks of January (for 2025, Jan 19-Feb 1).

Genuary is an event for both new fic and boosting older works that have been overlooked. To follow Genuary on social media, please follow the #genuary or  #genuary 2025 tag on Tumblr, Twitter, and Bluesky, follow this Tumblr, and/or join the official AO3 collection To participate, please read the FAQs and the Rules/Guidelines.

“he would not fucking say that!” then put him in a situation that makes him say it, we wanna see him squirm

Sorry to break it to you, but it's not going to write itself. So you might as well get to work.

I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.

Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.

Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

"Would anyone want to read --" Listen, imma stop you right there. Yes. YES, someone would want to read that. You write that weird little fucked up story. Or that domestic little slice of life story. That drabble or that 300k monster.

I promise someone wants to read it.
