#ANYWAY ILY ANON TY XX

[hourcat]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers! Spread the self-love 💞

omg anon 🩷 thank you for the opportunity, bestie! let's see how my picks do 🤭

(in no particular order, because i don't actually think i can really rank these)

chassis has to be at or near the top of my list. that fic is my baby. the mechanic au is so so special to me, and i will always love it with my whole heart forever. 50k! the longest fic i've ever published!

honestly, guard dog 1.0 has left a pretty big dent in my brain. like what is wrong with me but also i was right

black sails au...i think my most underappreciated fic tbh. the vision i have for that universe is so...i could never, never execute it right but i think about it every time i watch black sails. pirates <3

lingerie fic 1.0 my beloved. that rewrote my brain chemistry for quite some time.....also let me take this opportunity to say Where TF Were All The Fics after pierre dropped 'ma poule' like guys come on

overtime (le mans future fic).....a fic i have such fondness for. my laptop background is literally a picture of portofino bc writing that just touched me so deeply. also every time pierre or charles mentions le mans it makes me weep bc of this

honorable mentions to the first threesome fic and the period piece au, both of which i hold close to my heart <3

I LOVE your writing, do you have any advice for new writers?

hello !!! thank you so much anon <333 truly means so much to me 🎀🩷

I’m definitely not the best person for advice because I (to my detriment - looking at you months long hiatus) I mostly wing it but there are a few things I think are good to keep in mind,

1. might seem stupid but have fun !! and remember that you’re writing for fun. Write fics because they excite you and they’re something you want to see. Don’t get caught up in the numbers and worrying about what people will think, I thought Plastic Crown would literally be read by like ten people max because it was so absurd but (and I’m so unbelievably grateful seriously everyone who enjoys that fic,, i love u, i would fight your enemies in a mcdonald’s parking lot) I was wrong.

I mean, take with a grain of salt since every fic I wrote is drowning in self indulgence but still. Fanfic is fun! So have fun with it.

2. Super hypocritical but storyboard !! I’m currently experiencing the worst fkn writers block because I didn’t and now i’m trying to get everything planned before I update lmao

Another thing that saved me and actually got me stared in writing was my notes app. i’d put excerpts from fics I was reading that I felt really captured the vibe I wanted to create between or within characters. Random pieces of dialogue. details and just vague prompts and it’s a lifesaver.

3. Going back to point one kinda, try not to compare your fics to other people’s. That goes for Stats, reviews, writing styles, all of it. It’s pointless, fic is totally subjective and everyone’s gonna have their own vibe so just stick to working on yours.

4. Try and make stuff for your fic, seriously Pinterest boards, collages, gif sets, spotify playlists. Build up the world you wanna write about so it’s something that you feel you can just step into. Make it visceral and exciting even if it’s just exciting to you.

5. have like a drink or something that you associate with writing, for me it’s pink monster energy but for the sake of your heart maybe pick something different. like tea or anything not drowning in vague chemicals and caffeine. Can be anything like a candle, a playlist, just something to get in the vibe.

6. Talk about your fics, friends are a lifesaver in fandom, I cannot tell you how many times @vorpalmuchness and @katherineholmes have helped me figure something out just by letting my talk at them until something clicks. Vorpal in particular has suffered through that many many times (ily bestie ty for the face times)

7. and finally, write badly. seriously, just word vomit into a google doc if you’re struggling. Atleast then you have a jumping off point. It’s so rarely going to be a slam dunk on your first try so just,, do it. Get it out, get the vibe and run with it

Anyway, thank you so much for the ask anon. I hope atleast some of this helps xx

i just wanted to send an ask bc my brain is going back to sunny mode, so i want you to know that i’m not saying this lightly when i say that wishing well might be my favourite macdennis fanfic i’ve read. you’ve just encapsulated dennis so perfectly and despite the terrible things he’s done, i can’t help but sympathise, and even relate with his characterisation in ways. their dynamic is so perfectly written, and i literally almost screamed on a train ride when mac and dennis first kissed (and just all of chapter five in general). make sure to take your time with chapter seven, since i don’t want you to rush yourself, and i want you to create something to your satisfaction, but holy shit, i am going to be the most annoying person ever the day when a new chapter drops, since this fic has had my brain in an absolute chokehold since the first time i read it. ilysm and make sure to have a great day xx

AHHHHHH tysm this has really made my day 😭 literally had such an awful day and this made it so much better ily anon. definitely wanting to write, i just need to get out of this damn writers block but i unexpectedly have extra free time that i was not planning on having so maybe i can spend it writing? idk but it’s been a year since ive updated so im definitely looking like boo boo the fool over here 😭 anyway ty anon and feel free to message me if you ever wanna talk sunny cuz i’m always down !!

[crybabychim]

This anon is so dumb. Let me ask you something.

Why are you on this blog???? Especially if Meg bothers you?

1. If you're not a follower, but you're still here arguing, over Meg distancing herself from someone who doesn't support Palestine (as if she needs to explain why she chose to block or unfollow someone in the first place), YOU are the one looking for drama.

2. If you are a follower, bold of you to run off and talk shit on the tea blog, as if they wouldn't absolutely DESTROY you for reading her fics, or any dark fics, in the first place 💀💀💀

I mean... did you fall out of your circus carriage and get lost, and somehow wind up here??? Did the circus abandon you???? Is that why you're acting out? Did you trip over your clown shoes and hit your head? Did someone called Meg steal your wig and now you need a victim for your Joker wanna be revenge arc?????

Anywayssss lmao lots of love to you bby <3

I got such a good laugh lmfao ty anon ily

im not sure which anon we are talking about lol but it doesn't matter!!

whatever I do, theres always a problem!! even when I reasonably block someone!? and anyway I don't need a reason to block someone on MY blog, but try to get that through their thick skull 🙄 absolutely disgusting to use that real life situation to open their mouth and shit on me.

AHAH no because the way they absolutely would eat them alive (not my problem though). but im flattered, my haters are people who loved my fics (and probably still do). tbh an advice for writers: your haters are hiding among your followers. how supportive of them!

trip over their clown shoes- GIRLLL 😭 they dont produce enough pairs for all those clowns

you ate love tysm lmfaoo xx

no fuck it i am going to compliment u. i love taob so much for literally so many reasons, but mostly because it's so reread-able?? i feel like there's so much foreshadowing i've missed on all my previous reads, and i could honestly probably reread it forever without getting tired of it. every emotion, every event you bring into it you convey so well and the detail in every chapter is just incredible. not to mention the level of your writing??? i don't even know how to express to you how impressive your words are. every single one is just. absolutely perfect. it's like you always know the exact right way to describe literally anything. literally what the fuck dude. i think it's the coolest thing ever & you must be the god of writing or sth bc uh. what the fuck. i know you were apologizing for taob being like 300k+ but honestly i could read a million word taob if you were to write it. reading taob isn't like normal reading is anymore.... it's like how reading was when i was a kid and every book was so exciting and i literally couldn't stop. that's what it feels like my dude,, gah. basically. you're cool. am dragging myself thru life but ur book & cult make it just. so much better,, so basically ty for the music everything :)))) ily xx

so yeah. this is one of the best things i’ve ever been sent and i cannot express that enough. printing this for the Validation Hall Of Fame. anon you just?? UGH??? like every fucking word was a punch to the heart but like a nice punch. more of a hug. you hugged my heart anon what the fuck (bet you’re regretting that ‘you always know the exact right way to describe literally anything’ now huh). anyway i’m just here like

i’ve been in a bit of a writing slow this past week. not my usual This Is Rubbish Every Word I Type Is Horrendous, just very... impartial? like everything seems very adequate, so re-reading this (as i have been for a while now sorry not sorry) really helps that, thank you so much xx
