“average Lan follows all 3,000+ rules" factoid actualy just statistical error. average lan follows around 439 rules. Lan er-gongzi, a neurodivergent teenager who is in charge of punishments & follows over 10,000+ rules each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

God I hate writing fanfic sometimes.
"That's not realistic." - It's fanfiction. Go away.
"Actually canon says -" It's fanfiction. Go away.
"I don't think that -" It's fanfiction. Go away or write your own.
I'm writing silly little stories. I'm not caring about realism or only focusing on canon. I've already heavily changed canon in my canon divergent au fanfic. If you're not saying anything nice, go away. Click the back button. Stop reading the novel-length fic I'm writing, in my free time, just to be critical.
I don't need my silly goofy funtime to be criticized, thanks, I have enough Adult ResponsibilitiesTM that involve being criticized, but I'm paid for those.

I forgot that writing is very fun and that you're playing pretend. like all this shit and pressure about craftsmanship and art! NO!!!! you are a grown up playing with dolls! it is silly and you should have sooooo much fun pushing their heads together to make them smooch!!! or torturing them, which is what I did to my toys as a child, to the point where my mom thought I was going to grow up evil

i don't care if these characters have never interacted in canon. it's called fanfiction, not fanfact

sad reality of the fanfic-to-published work economy is that the weirdest people are willing to do it. that's why there's now hundreds of shitty no plot cishet hate-to-love enemies-to-lovers books that are ex reylo fanfic. and it's not even good. that's because the people who wrote book-quality steve/bucky and kirk/spock fic are too normal to think to themselves "i should get this porn published". they're too busy working in local government offices

never forget your roots
fanfiction.net before they removed the NC-17 stories
going to fanfiction.net at all
going to adultfanfiction.net in the fallout of the great “purge”
figuring out that ain’t nobody actually monitoring NC-17 stories there anyway so just rate it “M”
“please R&R! concrit appreciated!”
warning: lemon
though it may be more on the limey side of lemon
“summary sux just read it”
replying to reviews in the author’s notes
author’s notes in which the characters talk to each other and the author
