being a writer with writer friends is just:

writer: *unhinged idea*

writer friend: *encourages unhinged idea*

writer:  😈 

writer friend:  😈

"IT WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE A ONESHOT!!!" i scream, desperately clawing at the floor, as the fic drags me back into The Depths to continue writing against my will for the rest of eternity

Two Weeks Until WIP Week (Work-In-Progress Week)!

WIP WEEK is a week dedicated to updating fic or art WIPs.  All fandoms are welcome to participate.  Original works are also accepted.  Please tag your entries with the #wipweek or #wip week tag. Since multiple fandoms and ships are participating, please clearly list the fandoms, ships, and content warnings in the post so that they can be properly tagged for any potential readers.

The second WIP Week of 2025 will be held June 22-28. 

Each day will have a theme, but you do not have to post every day. You are also not obligated to follow these themes. You can work on one fic or artwork for the entire week if you choose. If you’re not comfortable posting full updates but still want to participate in the week, you can post your daily word count and/or a small snippet from your work.

Here are the prompts for WIP Week:

June 22: Your Oldest WIP

June 23: Your Newest WIP

June 24: Your Most Popular WIP

June 25: A WIP Featuring Your OTP

June 26: Your Favorite WIP

June 27: Your Previously Unpublished WIP

June 28: Any WIP

You can post completed/updated fanworks to the official WIP Week AO3 Collection!

"I didn't comment on a fic I liked because I don't think the author would care or remember my comment anyway". fanfic writer here, I still remember comments I got on my fics from seven years ago. I still think about them and they still make me smile. your kind comments are what motivates us and what helps us keep writing.

I personally know writers who take screenshot and print out comments they got from their readers.

TL;DR comments matter to us writers more than you think. if you like a fanfic, never be shy to let the author know ♡

[hiraethwritings]

Wow, now there's a bot going around on Ao3 telling people that the "moderators" will delete works from "deprecated" fandoms and impose bans.

Fearmongering bullshit, but it's fearmongering bullshit that seems to be taking advantage of the recent spotlight series in order to trick authors into deleting their fics.

Just. Why.

What the hell does anyone get out of making these bots.

Day 5 of Drabble Challenge: Cold

I swear I'm still posting these, the past few days have been out of wack for me. But here's another domestic Yuetara drabble!

Pairing: Yue/Katara

Tags: Established relationship, Domestic fluff, Modern AU

~~~~~~

It was cold and for Yue, that meant it was cold.

Spring was supposed to be around the corner, but winter decided it wanted to give a last performance before things warmed up.

Which meant that her flowers weren’t blooming soon.

Yue stared out the window at the wilted flowers in her flowerbed, colors muted. They’ll spring up sooner or later. Hopefully, if the weather for next week is going to be correct. (Katara doubted it, but Yue held onto hope.) Soon, she could tend to the flowers or buy new ones.

For now, the bouquet Katara bought her worked.

hi, sorry, I just wanted to ask, and this is prolly going to sound super dumb, are authors chill with people commenting on their old fanfics and stuff?

just want to make sure that I'm not inadvertently being annoying

I believe I speak for most authors when I say they’ll never be annoyed by any positive comments from their readers

authors, reblog if you love receiving new comments on your old works

[hiraethwritings]

I have an original fiction idea that I kind of want to get published at some point. HOWEVER, I can't seem to divorce it from the source that I've been inspired by

Day 4 of Drabble Challenge: Quarter

Another Yuetara domestic drabble! Combined with @domaystic prompt "the dream."

Pairing: Yue/Katara, background Sokka/Suki/Zuko, Katara & Izumi, Yue & Izumi

Tags: Modern AU, Established Relationship, Domestic Fluff

*******

Katara watched Yue give Izumi a quarter for the gumball machine. Sokka, Suki, and Zuko were going on vacation, so she and Yue offered to watch their niece.

For a moment, she felt a sense of peace wash over her. She and Yue were married, Izumi was turning six next month, and all their friends were happy in their own relationships. They all achieved degrees and careers; some started families, even. Wasn’t there a time this all felt out of reach for Katara? And now, here she was, in the airport with her wife and niece.

This is the dream.

Day 3 of Drabble Challenge: Painter

Domestic Yuetara time! I think the majority of these drabbles are dedicated to Yue and Katara in a modern AU. This piece also uses today's prompt from @domaystic "at the flea market."

Pairing: Yue/Katara

Tags: Domestic Fluff, Modern AU, Established Relationship

*******

The flea market was bustling with pedestrians, but at least it wasn’t packed. Katara weaved her way through the crowd, on the lookout for Yue. Her eyes scanned over the booths of various wears, taking consideration of prices. It didn’t take long before she found her at a painter’s booth, gazing over the artwork.

“There you are,” Katara said, moving to Yue’s side.

Yue looked up, wide-eyed. “Sorry. I was entranced by this person’s art.” She pointed to a piece of a snowy landscape, with the aurora hanging in a velvet blue sky. “It’ll look great in the living room.”

Day 2 of Drabble Challenge: Faceless

Have a little bit of original fiction angst with my vampire character

Tags: Angst, Vampirism

xxxxxxx

It was a long time before Josefine could see herself in mirrors. Now that they were no longer silver-backed, vampires could now be treated to their reflections. Josefine avoided them for a long time, unsure of how to react. Since her turning, she felt faceless, losing her defining features and recognition before being replaced with endless teeth. That had been the star of some of her nightmares. Looking at her reflection could probably cure the nightmares, but she didn’t want to inspire another set. After all, she didn’t want to see the face of the young girl she once was.
