20 Question Fic Writer Tag

Hell yeah I'll play. Thanks @palfriendpatine66 :D

How many works do you have on ao3?

AO3 says ten, but one of those is a series continuation of another one, so I count it as nine...although tomorrow that will go up by one, after the reveals for the Ghost Window challenge go out.

2.) What's your ao3 word count? 

Oh god. 690,376. I honestly think I was happier not knowing that fact about myself.

3.) What fandoms do you write for? 

I don't multitask well. I can write Star Wars fics or I can write Star Wars fics. I haven't even ventured outside the Clone Wars era yet.

4.) What are your top five fics by kudos?

Some Technical Difficulties - big gap - Solsbury Hill - An Uncivil War - medium-sized gap - An Unlikely Duo - another gap-ish - Down by the Seaside.

5.) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yep. I like it when authors reply to me when I leave a comment, so I try to pay it forward. Also sometimes we get into fun little side chats.

6.) What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

At the moment, not one single damn one of them. They have angst in them, but none of them end on angst. However as of about twenty-four hours from now, my answer will be, Ghost Window AU.

7.) What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Literally all of them. I'm happy to read angst, but when it comes to writing I am firmly in the happy endings camp.

8.) Do you get hate on fics?

I had some people tell me they were dropping out of Solsbury Hill because it wasn't getting to the Obikin fast enough, but I wouldn't call that hate. So, no.

(Side note, though: you don't have to tell authors that. Just delete your subscription quietly.)

But, I am also very ready to delete any and all negative comments. This is my fun side project; good vibes only.

9.) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

...pretty vanilla kind, honestly. Again, I read much more adventurously than I write. (Although, as recently as two years ago I would have said I don't write smut at all, so hit me up two years from now and maybe I'll be writing hardcore d/s, I don't know.)

10.) Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

By the strict definition, no. If you're talking 'dump Star Wars characters into settings of other movies', then hell yeah, that's kind of my jam right now. Down by the Seaside is Obikin Overboard. Next year I'm planning to publish Obikin Jurassic Park, Obikin Parent Trap, and Obikin Princess Diaries II. And I have a couple more on my to-do list.

11.) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Is this a thing I need to worry about?? Shit.

12.) Have you ever had a fic translated?

@kittonafoxgirl did a podfic of Some Technical Difficulties and it is still like one of the top five most rad things that has ever happened to me; does that count?

13.) Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

No but @fulcrum843 are currently mulling something over...

I do get a lot of help with my writing though. @piecesofeden11 basically wrote all the DnD stuff in An Unlikely Duo. I talk stuff out on Tumblr with folks all the time before I actually sit down to write it (or during, lol).

14.) What's your all time favorite ship?

I have no plans to write anything other than Obikin, and there's so much new good fic that it takes up most of my reading time as well.

15.) What's a WIP you'd like to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I wouldn't call it a WIP because there are no words on a page but I love the *idea* of a fic based on Jenn Barkley from Parks & Rec but have no idea what direction to take it and may never get to it. (If anyone wants to take this idea and run with it please do; it is very much up for grabs!)

16.) What are your writing strengths?

This is a weird thing to answer about myself but I hope I write with a sense of movement, propulsion, even a little suspense - as a reader I love to feel that I have to turn the page, I have to see what comes next, I don't want to put this fic/book down - and I try to work towards that goal in my own writing.

17.) What are your writing weaknesses?

Getting bogged down in details. It drives me crazy in movies when characters have these huge mansions but seemingly never go to work and somehow this has translated into me being incapable of just writing a smutty one-shot or whatever because what is everyone's job and how much is their mortgage payment and do they get paid on Fridays or Mondays and how many bedrooms does that apartment have.

18.) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

See answer above about over-complicating things: I came up with this whole system for An Uncivil War for whether I'm writing out the dialogue in a language other than Basic (I feel like we really only have enough information for me to be able to do this in Huttese and Mando'a, and even then only short conversations in certain subjects), or simply noting that a character is saying something in another language ("he said in Ryl" or whatever), or mixing Basic and a word/words in another language within the same sentence. It was important to me to capture that multilingualism, but it's also a lot of work, ngl.

19.) First fandom you wrote for?

Technically Johnlock but I never finished/published anything.

20.) Favorite fic you've ever written?

I love all my babies equally, she lied.

It's the Can't Stop the Suns series, which is An Uncivil War, Pick Up the Pieces (more than halfway completed), and Sometimes Fate Steps In (loosely outlined). Sometimes I'll just look over my notes and get giddy about how much good stuff I'm packing in there and how much *more* good stuff I haven't even gotten to yet. I'm throwing the kitchen sink of stuff I love at it. Even if the final version doesn't quite live up to the vision I see in my head (it rarely does), as long as I get close I'll be happy.

I tag @piecesofeden11, @underacalicosky, @fulcrum843, and, as usual, anyone else who feels up for it!

[whoreforharlow]

Just to add to the discourse on Jack working with Chris Brown, and how that makes him look because he says he's a man who respects black women...

Both Ella Mai and H.E.R. are both black women featured on the album as well. On the list of who should not be collaborating with him, black women are at the top, black men second, and then white people. If black women are collabing with Chris Brown, after EVERYTHING he's done to us, my expectation that a white man would miss the opportunity to jump on the album is wayyyyy low. If a white man observes black women engaging and supporting Chris Brown, it's a solid assumption to believe that he wouldn't find any issues in it. Many believe "he's paid his dues" and have moved on from his negative behavior. Now, this is not at all an excuse, but it's more of an explanation. We can't hate the white man for not being in our corner, when black men and women can't even be in our corner. The most woke of them will only mimic our actions, and if we don't demonstrate the respect that we expect, they won't know what to do but copy what we do and how we view ourselves. If we pointing fingers, the black women on the album should be put on the hot seat before we ever look at the white man.

Also, this is an industry, and for him to pass up an opportunity to work with the biggest names would be a disservice to his career. Like for him to take what is quite literally personal moral stances against people who are problematic, he wouldn't get anywhere. Does he give up his dream of being a big shot legend? Because the reality is you can't reach the GOAT status that he's looking for, without playing the "game" set before him. Can we isolate and blame him solely, sure you can, but it's unfair to try one without trying all. He's unproblematic beyond calling himself an alpha, but who he associates with is questionable. Could he do better? Yes. Will doing better get him the results he wants? Not necessarily, or at least not in the way and in the time frame he's looking for.

I don't support the idea of overlooking wrong because everyone else is doing it, but tbh this mentality is SLIM in this world. Many will do wrong because EVERYONE else is doing it. Just as I said, it's not an excuse it's just an explanation. Would we all like for every misogynistic, colorist, homophobic artist to be canceled completely? Yes. But would that leave us with a very small percentage of the current mainstream media socialites? Also yes lol. Now realistically, we would have to really sit with ourselves and think about who do we listen to? Who are on our playlists? Even if they themselves are unproblematic, have they associated themselves with problematic people? Then by the logic we're using with Jack, literally all of our "faves" gotta go.

As for Anitta... to be completely honest, beyond her just being annoying lol, I didn't know anything about her. It wasn't until I saw people saying she was a racist that I knew she was, well, racist. From what I could see on Tumblr, A LOT of blogs didn't know, and found out from the Grapevine on here too. So with that being said, what can we assume that Jack knows about her? What do his black friends know about her to warn him about her? When I Google it, I saw stuff about 2013 and 2017... they met like this year lol. Again, not an excuse, but an explanation. From what I can tell, Jack doesn't spend time on social media to be reading up on the Anitta racism threads that span back almost a decade ago. Realistically, I doubt that he and his friends are researching the folks they hang out beyond their discography. Should he have someone on his team doing that shit for him?? 10000% because honestly being friends with Anitta isn't really something necessary for his image, if anything, bringing it down. I definitely think he's needs a black woman on his PR team, because as literally the most ostracized demo, we SEE everything lmao, can't get shit passed us without alarms going tf off.

Baby Boy is honestly on the denser side of the pound cake, and that's okay, I don't expect too much from a white man from Kentucky. But it's just that, I don't expect much. He's just trying to climb the ranks, play the game, and the only reason we're mad is because he's "supposed" to be the one good one... when in reality black men should be that for us black women. If we look for accountability, our own men should be held with more expectation and standard than a white man. I just don't like that we've elevated him to such a standard that he, as a white man, does not necessarily have to hold up. Take that as you want, but I said what I said. "I love black women", "I support black women", "I admire black women" are not conclusive statements, it's not solely black women that he's into. We're not the end all be all for him, that would be a FETISH lol. If he dates a white woman, that doesn't negate or contradict ANY of those above statements, but yall have contorted this man into a box that feels good, and will take it as him just pandering and capitalizing on black women. And before I hear "well he just talked sooooo much about loving black women, he obviously was pandering" HE TALKED ABOUT BLACK WOMEN BECAUSE HE WAS ASKED ABOUT BLACK WOMEN!!! Every interview he gets a black women question and he's gotta answer it lol, yall want him to say "I love all women" to that question? Yall would throw a fit at that too lol do I think he's capitalizing on black women, absolutely, but is that any different than what black men who literally rap the most disgusting stuff about us do too? NEITHER are correct, but yall just mad at Jack because we're letting a white man do it to us and not just black men and we feel a way about it. Welp, don't support his or any one else's pandering... its that easy. Black women are not dumb, we know what we're doing with these white men. We eat up any amount of attention because our own men won't give it to us, it's hard out here, and I do it too so I'm not judging. But there is an accountability that we need to take on. It's not just Jack.

Soliciting feedback about upcoming trans/nonbinary fandom stats

TL;DR I'm dithering about fandom stats post length and want input on whether people think I should try harder to keep things short. Also I have a couple questions about gender identity labels & terminology. Since this is my for-funsies hobby, to some extent I'm gonna continue to do whatever works best for me... but I do also like to hear from readers about what helps them to understand/enjoy my fandom stats.

The specific context is that I've spent the last couple months working on some extensive (read: long-ass) fandom stats about trans & nonbinary characters on AO3, and I'm about ready to post. Meanwhile, yesterday I spent a few minutes and posted one of my shortest analyses ever (how many AO3 fanworks are novel-length or longer?) and almost instantly got a large amount of positive feedback. And a couple people said (either in the comments there or via Tumblr) that they specifically appreciated how short the analysis was.

I do think that different topics require different lengths of writeups, so it's not like everything can be that pithy. But it still makes me curious... more details/questions/noodling about options below the cut.

I'd been planning to post my trans & nonbinary stats as three chapters of a single AO3 work. But I could do more chapters or more separate works (especially since each graph/slide requires some explanation). Curious what different readers would prefer. Here are the subtopics I'll cover & number of slides for each:

The organization/wrangling of AO3's gender identity tags (3 slides)

AO3 gender identity tag usage over time (1 slide)

Fandoms with the most trans and nonbinary tagging (2 slides)

Characters often tagged trans (2 slides)

Characters often tagged trans with a gender specified (5 slides)

Characters often tagged nonbinary (2 slides)

Characters often tagged genderfluid* (2 slides)

Characters often tagged agender* (2 slides)

Characters often tagged genderqueer* (2 slides)

Characters often tagged non-cis* overall (2 slides)

The chapters I'd been planning to post were: Chapter 1 - topics 1-3 (6 slides); Chapter 2 - topics 4-5 (7 slides); Chapter 3 - topics 6-10 (10 slides).

*While I'm asking questions, I'm also curious whether some folks will be unhappy if I combine the labels genderfluid, agender, and genderqueer into a chapter about nonbinary characters -- I know gender labels are evolving, and some people may not see those as all fitting under a nonbinary umbrella. Also whether people will be unhappy if I use "non-cis" as an umbrella term for trans/nonbinary/genderfluid/agender/genderqueer characters. I know not all nonbinary folks consider themselves trans, for instance, so maybe that's not the best umbrella term, but I can't think of a good one. (I'm not sure there's actually any possible set of answers here that will work well for everyone, but I am curious to hear feedback if anyone has it.)

Oh, and btw, if you don't see your preferred gender identity label listed above, there is a decent chance I also analyzed it and just didn't find very many uses of it on AO3. But if you have other gender identities you're wondering about, feel free to list them in the comments.

Hi Jen, I was wondering what would be your tips for knowing if an agent is the right fit for someone, what kind of expectations newbie writers should have, what kind of questions to ask, because I know writers need an agent but I still don't quite understand the extent in which an agent aids a writer in, so I fear signing with someone and it being a big mistake, thank you in advance.

This is a LOT of questions, and kind of encapsulate like, the entire point of this thousands-of-entries-long tumblr. I could write a book about this question! Let me see if I can just do VERY SWIFT answers, and for more in-depth, you can look at... *gestures at entire Tumblr*

How/to what extent does an Agent aid a Writer: Your agent is your advocate and fiduciary. They only get paid when you get paid - so they really want you to succeed. Some of the things your agent will do*: Help you polish your work, sell your book to publishers, negotiate your contracts so that you are getting the most fair deal possible, make sure you are getting paid correctly, chase money when you aren't, sell your subsidiary rights (so that your book might come out in other countries, or as a film, or whatever) -- they play "bad cop" and have your back when a publisher is being out of pocket, they give you support and answer questions and basically... help you! In lots of ways. Throughout the entire publishing process. They are on your team.

* (or at least TRY to do - we can't guarantee that we can sell your book, but that's the goal!)

How do you know if an agent is the right fit: What you can do is research. First start by looking for agents who do the kind of books you do / want to do. (Look on QueryTracker - get a month long subscription to Publishers Marketplace - look in the acknowledgements of books you love - Google your fave authors and see who reps them - lots of ways to get these names.) So now you have a list, right? Now, look up each of these agents websites. See if they are actually still at that agency, and open to submissions. See what is on their "wish list". You will soon be able to narrow the list some, because some people either won't be open, or won't want what you are writing. Now, when you have a good list, you'll start to have a sense of the agent's style and personality based on their favorite books and other clients and how they are on social media (or IF they are). Read some interviews with them. Etc. If an agent really does NOT seem like a fit for you for some reason - don't query them.

If you do query them, and they offer representation, ask if you can speak to some of their clients. (Of course their clients may be kinda biased because usually, they like their agent! But hey.) Of course at the end of the day - you can't REALLY know what it is like to work with somebody until you work with them.

What should authors expect from an agent: Your agent should be trustworthy and straightforward. Hopefully they either have lots of experience selling the kinds of books you write, OR if they are newer, they are with a reputable agency that has that experience. Some agents are more intensely editorial than others - some are more "business-person"ish and some are more casual - everyone is different, you know? So if you are having a call where they are offering you rep, you will have the opportunity to ask them questions.

There are lots of lists online of "questions to ask an agent" so I'm not going to put them all here but basically, I'd want to know what their feelings are about MY book, where they see it in the marketplace, if they think there are changes to be made -- how they like to communicate, what does the submission process look like - -what they value in a client.... How does their agency handle foreign rights -- etc. Lots of questions! (Usually these calls last at least an hour - and they will be giving you A LOT of information, so you might want to take notes while it's happening!)

I fear signing with somebody and it being a big mistake: I'm going to float a bold idea: Despite what many folks say -- this ISN'T akin to a marriage. You don't have to be besties with your agent, and it isn't Till Death Do You Part. It's a business partnership. You want to trust them and feel comfortable talking to them - you have to communicate well together - you have to be cordial to one another - but you DON'T have to go on vacation together or braid each other's hair or finish each other's sentences. There are plenty of people I know in a business setting, that I trust and respect -- that I don't necessarily want to hang out with on the weekend. Just something to keep in mind - that "right fit" doesn't have to mean BFF.

And if you DO need to break it off for whatever reason down the line - it's really OK. That doesn't mean that they OR you are "bad" or "wrong" -- just sometimes it doesn't work out, but that's not the end of the world.

[loplainlointhemorning]

Omg your tags... Can you talk more about your songwriting pls? I'm at that point now where I'm just trying to finish as many songs as I can, not caring so much abt the quality bc otherwise I will never finish one. I still only have a few, I'm trying to learn the process and what works for me. But it's so encouraging to hear someone else talk abt this like I keep comparing myself to famous ppl I listen to and it feels like they just have a gift and I don't

dude, I have been comparing myself to artists I look up to constantly, ever since I got into music at fourteen, wondering why I’m not good enough. I think it’s normal. The truth is, when you stop listening so much to beginner’s self doubt, perfectionism, and in my case, chronic anxiety, everybody is the same. The people who are really good are really good because they sat down and fucked around with instruments long enough to understand them, the people who are really good are really good because they love what they do, and all of them wrote shitty songs in their late teens/early 20s/whenever they started out. I have(and still do) beat myself up for everything from writing too fast to writing too slow, for taking months long breaks because of mental health issues, for lyrics that my band laughed at, for only knowing how to play one instrument, the list goes on...But I comfort myself with facts like these:

PJ Harvey was asked about her first ever song in an interview from 1995 and that’s the closest I’ve seen her come to blushing; She said it was about a girl going on an adventure and that it was awful. She reiterated in a magazine that most of her earliest work was ‘terrible’ and heavily influenced by Irish folk music, meaning, apparently, that it was full of tin whistles. It took her years before she was comfortable playing her orginal music in front of other people(and if you watch her early Dry performances, she’s not even all that comfortable in the first place.) The important thing is, PJ Harvey hated her early songs.

Nick Cave said that he was ashamed of the Birthday Party’s discography up until Junkyard and that he didn’t like to think about those albums. Nick Cave hated his early songs- And Nick Cave is partially famous DUE to these early songs, go figure.

Courtney Love bashes Hole’s first album Pretty On The Inside nearly constantly, calling it ‘unlistenable’ and saying it was more about her persona being established than making good music. Courtney Love hated her early songs- and, once again, her band was given its name and image because of them.

I BEG you to listen to five seconds of David Bowie’s first album, which he doesn’t discuss.

If these people, who mean the world to me and have saved hoards of others from personal destruction, had given up bc they were Bad at a young and inexperienced age we wouldn’t have their music and it’s not an exaggeration to say that that would have ended in suicide for a big number of people. If you can get your ego in place, you can believe the same about your music, and the thing that’s going to keep you motivated more than anything else is Ego.

We live in a world right now where popular music lacks human hands and clumsiness and rawness and so the fact that both of us are, against the odds, composing music that still reflects those things is a rebellion. It’s important that we keep writing, not just because we deserve to be good songwriters because we care about it, but because for music to evolve there needs to be a constant underground of young people with limited skills trying their best. Plus, if we’re both lucky, we’ll end up saving people the same way we were saved and if it takes a few notebooks of three note trauma songs to get there then fine(besides, who doesn’t love a good three-note trauma song?).

But beyond the ‘glory’ of it(and I think to do anything artistic you have to romanticize it to a certain degree), I started songwriting seriously at the end of a bad relationship when I was sixteen, nearly seventeen. When that relationship ended, I wrote constantly. I wrote about everything. My main influences were Bikini Kill and The Runaways and I hadn’t developed my seriousness towards lyrics yet so anything went. I’d write three songs in a week, realize that two were bad and play the third one for my band only to get laughed at for writing something like “I swallow Clorox” which was a confessional thing about suicidal thoughts that hurt my feelings, but wasn’t articulated well.

I wrote Nirvana knock-off songs and I wrote Hole knock-off songs and I half finished at least one hundred different things and I have three notebooks filled with them, the latter half being the worst fake-Nick Cave writing I have ever read. From all of 2018, during which I probably wrote 30-35 songs, I have two that I would actually put on an album and three that I can remember/still like. Once I got my mental health under control, I did the same thing for the bulk of 2019. This stage you’re at is NOTHING TO FEEL BAD ABOUT. It’s like making stuff out of Play-Doh or fingerpainting. It’s FUN and you’re learning, Extremely Quickly, a million different skills that you’re going to need over the course of your life. Lyric writing, the classic verse/chorus/verse, how to invert that, experimental tactics, particular playing styles that you like, playing styles that you HATE, etc.

And the best part about it is that some of your songs are good! Some of them have good parts that you’ll take out later to put into better songs! You’re probably sitting on two or three good songs at the moment, maybe even more, maybe you’ve got a whole album of brilliant material and you just don’t know it. In thirty years your demos could work like Vashti Bunyan’s and be the proto-whatever of a new genre. I really don’t want to make you think that all your material right now is bad, because that idea has actually been super detrimental to me and is a shitty narrative pushed to push beginners. I’m saying that it’s OKAY for you to be bad, that even experienced people write bad shit, but that if you think you’ve written some bangers they deserve to be recognized as such.

To close, new phase that I was talking about, the quality over quantity phase, is definitely something I had to work up to. 90% of it is taking in enough new music to understand what you really want from yourself, and the rest of it is gaining enough confidence to willingly let other people hear what you do. I only started taking my shit this seriously in late December of last year because I knew people would be hearing it, and that has its set backs too: My perfectionism is crazy right now and I have to kick back against it all the time. The perks of getting to the point where you can hone yourself are that you build real relationships with your songs, and that you have some idea of what you want. But I also think that it’s healthy to go through the quantity over quality phase over and over again throughout the course of your career, because there’s no way to really write in a new style unless you keep going back to frenzied experimentation. If we both end up pursuing this long term, we’ll probably have to work on Finishing over Perfecting a million times over, and its best to make peace with it now.

I am so sorry that this is like. A million paragraphs but another important aspect of songwriting is procrastinating by being on tumblr so!!! You’re doing just fine. Keep up the good work, and feel free to talk to me or share music with me anytime. I hope this helps, or at least isn’t a boring read.

[marvel-lous-things]

First off:

Thank you all so much??

When I started using this blog like,,, 8 months ago,,, I thought I'd peak at 2k. But then y'all just had to go and prove me wrong huh?? ok.

I guess I'll just have to repay you in shitposts. Smh.

Anyway,

In all honesty, though, I've had so much fun with this blog and it's all cus of y'all?

I've met and made friends with some amazing (however slightly messed up sksjsks) and utterly lovable people, gotten over my self doubt to an extent that I posted fics without immediately deleting them, received so many nice anons, found a community of absolutely brilliant folks who share my skewed sense of humour,,,

Damn. This list could go on and on.

Welp. "Thank you" doesn't even begin to cover it but:

THANK YOU ALL!! SO MUCH!!! ILY!!! AAAA!!!

Second:

I'm doing two things for my follower milestone!!

1) I'm introducing a tag!!

From now on, I'll be tracking #marvellousthings (because I'm an uncreative binch) so if you tag any of your posts as the aforementioned, you can bet your socks that I'll see it, like it, maybe reblog it :D etc etc.

So,,, Go wild, frens.

2) a creative challenge!

Ok let's face it, the "trans Peter" tag deserves a lot more love than it's getting right now.

After Tumblr user transpeter was bullied off this website by terfs, the tag's been depressingly empty, ya know?

I miss the warm feeling I got from interacting with the happy community, and reading posts by people about how the headcanon made them feel validated!!

Unfortunately, now, it's only shitposts and the occasional ask (which is great, but I want so much more??)

And that's where it stands. Trans!peter is a cute lil headcanon that needs your creativity and imagination to be kept alive.

So, that's exactly what I'm aiming at.

I want you (yes, you!!) to:

➡️Write a fic

➡️Draw fanart

➡️Write headcanons

➡️Make photo/gif edits

➡️ make Moodboards

Etc

(basically, I just want to bring the tag back to life ya know)

Rules (for writing challenge):

Peter has to be trans (o dam didn't see that one coming)

But the fic doesn't have to revolve entirely around his identity

A paragraph or so acknowledging it would be mighty cool!!

Bonus points if he's written as Bi-derman and aggressively Gen Z

Actually no bonus points but I will love you forever ??

Reader insert fics are an underutilized source of creative expression and are therefore highly encouraged

Use appropriate tags and trigger warnings

Discussion of transphobia (internalised or otherwise) is a-okay, hell, even appreciated, but please be respectful ❤️

Use a "read more" link after the first 200-300 words, please!

(Similar rules apply to headcanons, minus the word limit and the read more rule)

Rules (for fanart/edits/mood boards)

Include the trans flag in your art!

Whether it's as a colour scheme, background, t-shirt, cap, badge, or anything else is entirely up to you

Don't post stolen art, please!!

Finally (and this applies to all of the above):

Don't write/draw/edit anything nsfw

Don't even try to submit anything that has anything to do with st*rker

Actually don't submit anything involving a relationship between Peter and an adult

Make sure you tag your posts as #marvellousthings so that I can see them

Oh yeah and you need to be following moi, of course

Deadline is Christmas! I hope that gives you guys enough time!

Make Extra sure you tag me in your posts too! (As in: @me)

It would be heckin nice of you to reblog this post 💗

That's all.

Have fun, don't set anything on fire, and raise this adorable headcanon from the dead, my dudes ✨

(I'm tagging a few mutuals, feel free to ignore though ���)

@the-not-so-ketogenic-kid @marvel-or-not-to-marvel @asaelia @cosmic-disasters @avengvr @accurate-incorrect-marvel-quotes @windexnoises @are-you-shuris @its-ya-boi-demon @anxieteaandbiscuits @my-babies-are-ash @gumgamug @spiderboiii @demi-god-witch @nonbinari-goat @just-a-marvel-fan @mysteryavengers @lesbiansassemble @ironmanstan @underoosstark @gabrielthepisces @loki-the-pan-icon @loki-against-onision @rosiebrie @hopenichole @time-to-spleen @pietropeterimagines

Hi there! I'm reading a LOT of your ML fics right now, and I don't have the ability to comment on AO3 on my phone right now, but I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate and enjoy all of your stories! You have the characterization of the characters down so well, but you have also made them your own! I also love how you link to so many other authors and fan blogs in your notes on the stories, since it is introducing me to several new ML authors.

Thank you so much for coming over to Tumblr to let me know.  It really makes me happy when people like my work enough to comment.A little before Marichat May, @squirrellygirlart  suggested Miraculous Acts of Kindness as a way to cheer up or show appreciation for some of the artists and authors in ML fandom.  I decided to write stories as a way of thanking the authors and artists who’ve made my time in ML fandom so enjoyable.  I liked the set up a lot, and I realized I could pair many of the prompts with Marichat May, so I’m slowly working my way through a list of artists and authors I want to show appreciation for.  And I’m glad if I’ve introduced other folks to their work!
