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

[optmstcontmblr]

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

I saw the meme potential

Some of us really need to be doing “Finish That Fanfic We Haven’t Updated in a Year November” 💀

i wish ao3 had a shuffle feature for all the fics in my 'saved for later' like pleeeease take the decision out of my hands

[optmstcontmblr]

“they’re queerbait this, they’re not canon that” they’re whatever i want them to be on ao3 actually

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

you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

me: I'm going to write a fic to my own entertainment

also me, writing said fic:

One of the most gratifying things in writing fanfiction is when people comment on your work saying they heard your original dialogue in the characters voices. That's when I know I've done it right.
