The problem is that I tell myself this and I absolutely break down into tears because everything NEEDS to be perfect before I can move on.

Through gritted teeth: my first draft is allowed to be awful. My first draft is allowed to be awful. My first draft is allowed to be awful.

Everyone, I've got big news... Well, big enough news that isn't so important but is important to me.

I just finished writing the first part of Chapter 1 of the new story (fic) I am planning on posting before Christmas, and now I am about to start writing the second part.

And I am so freaking happy that this GIF represents how I am feeling:

If my actual desk wasn't threatening to collapse due to it being really cheap, I'd totally jump on top of it and do a little celebratory dance, I'm just saying.

So to those Amazing Spiez! fans... A new story is coming your way soon. Also, there's going to be a new chapter coming for The Curse of Sekhmet as soon as it comes back from being looked at by the beta. ^^

Is there anybody on my Friend's List that's good at plot help? Even if you are just sitting and listening to me complain, I will forever be grateful. I have a plot that's giving me some problems and it's driving me crazy.

I reserve an intense, burning hatred for those that bind fanfiction. Seriously, they are as much of a damn problem as those selling bound copies of fic. If it wasn't for these people binding fanfiction and showing off their bound copies, we wouldn't have people selling their own bound copies for hundreds if not thousands of dollars/euros, etc.

Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don't know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.

I feel called out by this post and I don't know how to feel about that, lol.

unfortunately, I will write this fic and I am writing this fic are two very different things

I now want to read some genderbend Marauders fanfic where the Marauders are girls because of this absolutely stunning fan art. Anybody have any recommendations?

Just some lame 70s marauder girls

This scene was hilarious in the books. Too bad they got rid of this scene for the movies. I feel that it would have been just so funny.

i felt the strongest urge to draw this endearing scene :’)

Love Reid... Just love him. However, I am terrified to start writing him because I know that I am going to hurt him in some way. Angst with no comfort all the way.

By the way, love this collection of photos of Reid.

i have an arsenal of him going :[

I've only read one of these, I think? Just reblogging because I want to have a copy and posts do have a tendency to disappear when I am trying to find them again.

From what I remember of Bella Swan, I feel that this is exactly what she would do, too. She just seems like she'd be one of those mothers. Oh... and she'd be constantly complaining about having to read Wuthering Heights or whatever again.

new high school classmate: so what’s your name

renesmee: renesmee

new classmate: that’s… interesting

renesmee: my mom was on crack when she named me

The toxicity emulating from this post is why so many writers choose to either remove their stories or are being bullied off because they choose not to write a specific pairing. I love Wolfstar. I really do. It's one of my favourite non-canon pairings to read in the Harry Potter fandom- but it's not the heartbeat of the Marauders Era community when you consider the fact that there's many other fics out there that don't have Wolfstar as a pairing at all.

Also the fact that we are sitting here in the year 2024 shaming people for saying they don't like a pairing or don't want to read it is the craziest thing I've seen. If you have the right to express what you love to see in Marauders Era fic, then so do other people who are in the same fandom space as you.

The fact that this person has the audacity to ask 'Seriously, why are you even here if you hate that ship so much' makes me angry. It's like telling somebody 'Since you don't like what I like, you don't belong in this community. You don't belong in this fandom'. Fandom is meant for everyone. It's not just meant for you and people that share your views and ideas. It is literally meant for everyone.

Seriously, why are you here if you can't grasp that fact? This entire post makes me wonder if this person is behind a bullying campaign chasing fic writers off of writing sites just because they choose not to write Wolfstar as a pairing.

I think it’s so funny when people are like “I’m a marauders fan but if you’re a Wolfstar shipper DNI” 

Like, buddy, you just told 99.9% of this fandom to go away. Wolfstar is literally the heartbeat of the marauders fandom. It wouldn’t even exist without them. Seriously, why are you even here if you hate that ship so much?

You know, it wasn't until I was an adult where I fully realized just how utterly devastatingly heartbreaking it would have been for James and Lily to know that one of their friends (or in James' case, one of his closest friends) had betrayed them.

Oof, the scammers be scamming today. If I wanted to donate any of my hard earned money to aid Gaza, I'd donate that money to a legit organization where the money goes directly to the people of Gaza and not into the hands of scammers who are using the Israel/Hamas war to get money from people they can easily sucker by using emotional manipulation tactics.

Now, I will close this off with this final note: DO NOT EVER clog up my Asks with your scam messages. That feature is open to people who want to interact with me as a writer, who have questions dealing with my stories, my original characters... MY WRITING. I will not hesitate to shut that feature off if it's continued to be abused. Period. End of the fucking discussion.

Also, one last thing. I am reporting this account. It's a fucking scammer guys. Report that shit.

[ladyzephroar]

Wait... What is going on in the Marauders fans circle now? The last time I was on Twitter and was participating in that community of writers and fan artists, there were mob attacks being launched against writers who wrote fic that didn't have wolfstar as a pairing.

Is this still going on or is it some new drama?

i cannot take marauders fandom “drama” seriously at this point. it’s truly ultimate loser behavior.

this is what we look like to the outside world and i need you guys to realize that the next time you make “x fic writer is problematic 🧵” posts on the rapidly sinking shithole that is twitter:
