#I was too much of a newbie in the fandom to be writing oc shit

[nocasdatsgay]

You ever remember something randomly and just regret? No I can’t change it and I try to not linger but the feeling is there.

[isa-ghost]

getting sentimental over you in public but thank you for being like. my biggest supporter with joining the qsmp fandom :)) publicly blaming uou for my brainrot bcyou helped explain things to me so clearly which made the daunting feeling of Oh God A Year Of Content not as daunting.

and with the animatics dude you’re :((( you’re so encouraging with me when i have literally no clue what im doing AJDJDN thank you so much <3

(im also actually CHATTING im a CHATTER now bc i know YOURE a chatter i went in pegs all by myself the other night it was crazy)

MASONNNNNNN 💚💚💚

Dude only veteran isa-ghost followers will understand this but AMFMN has been some of the most fandom fun I've had since collaborating with our best friends to make the Bunker AU.

I've never written fanfic before, only OC writings, which you know abt ofc, and the fact that this is my FIRST ONE EVER and you made an animatic for it BEFORE CHAPTER 2 EVEN DROPPED?? Insane. I can't wrap my head around it. The fact that I was one chapter in and you and @bunchofdoodlesinspace already made fanart for the fic??? I shit you not, hugely responsible for me plotting out over 10 fucking chapters of this fic. I didn't expect to make this a long fic but here we are and I am OBSESSED with every part of it.

And ofc I'm gonna be the most vocal supporter of your art, I've watched you fucking BLOOM and then some over the what, 6 fucking years?? We've been friends. You're on a level I wanted to be at by now for as long as I can remember, so everything you make to me is breathtaking and I love how experimental you are with what you do because my dumb ass is SOOO annoyingly particular and precious about my art and it's a nightmare to put up with. I love seeing you pop off in ways I personally haven't (yet?), it genuinely inspires me to take a shot at it some day when I have the means.

I've never properly infodumped to someone before because my friends have always been people who like the same things as me and already Understand(tm) so the fact that I not only got to be Extremely Autistic about my silly bird man but also coherently explained so much lore AND have resources prepared to further help myself explain & catch up a newbie is. So rewarding.

And I'm so glad I introduced you not only to PEGS but to the Freaks too because they are the 2 most welcoming and hilarious communities I've ever been a part of, in mcyt or otherwise. I've never felt like it was difficult to sorta worm into them, right away I felt like part of the whole. Literally will never forget the first time a Freak recognized me and greeted me at the start of stream without me saying anything to them first. I'm so happy to introduce you to the same kindness I was shown by them and to have someone to cherish it with.

I fucking love you you dork I hope I successfully drag you into a million more interests bc I love watching what it does to your brain and how that manifests in your art.

Hello! I just finished your safe word series and I needed to tell you how much I loved it and why. I am a domme and not a newbie one, I'm married to my sub. So I read these BDSM fics with actual real world experience and there have been a few times I wanted to hurl with the violations of SSC (safe, sane and consensual) I saw. I rarely read dom!idol fics anymore because I end up feeling misrepresented as a sexually dominant person. Like throw my phone across the room upset.

This fic series was like a warm blanket fresh from the dryer. Your dom! BTS characterizations were wonderful, and more importantly they were healthy. A dom/me should always be checking in, they should always let a sub know that they never need apologize for safe wording out. All of the members were mature doms who actually gave a shit about their subs and their feelings.

I adored how you actually used the phrase proper BDSM protocol vis a vis leaving a sub alone tied and/or blindfolded. People seem to forget the safe and sane part of SSC in a lot of these stories. I have had a sub consent to things that were nuts. Basically she wanted things and asked for things that while yes, she had consented to, were neither safe nor sane. I had to be the one to say "No. This isn't ok." We broke up.

Your subs weren't endless pits who can always take more. No one who is mentally healthy is an endless pit, people have boundaries, they have limits. Sure they change per person and such but they exist. My husband is not an endless pit, he has boundaries and he lets me know when it's not fun anymore. So has every sub (but that one) that I've ever been with. I am so very tired of subs being portrayed as endless pits with no will of their own save what their dom tells them their will is. That's not sexy, that's just abuse.

I could seriously kiss your brain right now, that's how happy reading that series made me. Seriously, thank you for writing it and writing it well. This fandom has a mighty need for accurate BDSM portrayals.

This!! I love getting feedback on my works like this. I entirely agree with you that some of the portrayal of dom!BTS is extremely toxic. I have read too many fics where "hard dom" member is really just pushing / ignoring the OC's boundaries. It's a turn off for me TBH. I love reading dom!BTS but only when it's done properly, so I decided to write this series. I plan on writing more works with properly written doms in the future so I hope you enjoy those too =)

[takaraphoenix]

Can I ask you literally anything? Like literally even though there’s that thing you’re doing now about headcannons for characters? I love reading essentially anything that you write and sometimes I just wonder... what inspired you to start writing?

My ask box is always open for anything. I say that a lot and I mean it. I like getting asks and answering them. You’re always welcome to shoot me a message. ^^

What inspired me to start writing might be a bit of a deep dig though... *laughs softly*

I have three older cousins on my father’s side of the family. We’re all two years apart - uhm, so, the next oldest is two years older than me, the next two years older than her and the next two years older than her. So, when I was in kindergarten, me and my cousins regularly saw each other at our grandma’s house and while I didn’t really have much to bond over with the 4 year older and 6 year older cousins because of the age-gap, I was very close to the one that’s 2 years older than me.

We had those... journals. Grandma gave them to us once and we both drew in them, stories. We made up fantasy tales and uh... actually, we made up fanfiction. We watched anime together - Power Stones, Nadja: The Secret of Blue Water, a french cartoon called Princess Sheherazade in particular. And we basically made up self-insert fanfiction that we acted out together. We created our own characters for the stories and then we played the stories out. Abductions and rescues and daring adventures.

I did that for other shows she didn’t watch too. I still have a folder with pre-school and elementary school drawings of OCs from Doremi to Digimon and Ranma 1/2. Still very self-insert-y. And I’d spin my own fanfiction in my head before falling asleep.

Then elementary school rolled around and I learned how to write more than just my name. And, I don’t know how it’s in other countries, but for us in Germany in our German classes we had those creative writing exercises in like... third grade or so. Where you got four cartoon pictures without captions or dialogue and you had to sort them in whatever order you wanted to and had to write the story out that you thought took place in those pictures. And I LOVED that exercise. It was my absolute favorite exercise.

But... I never really... merged the two. I kept my stories in my head and didn’t write outside of school exercises.

I really made the connection between coming up with stories and bringing them to paper in 2005. And yes, I know the exact date, because it was...

It was a bit weird, actually. So, I was 13 at the time and I loved vampires like stupid. I was so deep into Buffy. I mean, I still am but in 2005 it was actually still fresh, the show had literally just ended two years ago.

I wrote an essay about vampires. Just for fun. Because I’m a nerd. My... terminology about school stuff is hard because it’s so different... the teacher who teaches German in Germany is also the “main teacher”, the one we go to with problems, who holds our class court, where we make decisions like voting class president with and who goes to the yearly week-long school trip with us. The main teacher. So. My main teacher, she caught wind of the vampire essay I was working on, because I have a loud voice and always talked to my friends, right?

So she asked me if I didn’t want to present it during our upcoming class-trip.

And this is where German high school majorly differs from what American TV made me believe high school to be. Because holy shit, an overweight nerd who did extra work and then presents an essay about vampires in a vampire-costume would not have been received kindly on literally any American TV high school sho ever. I got roaring applause and support, because that’s kind of how our school and our class in particular worked.

They were all engaged in it, they thought it was funny and cool.

And that was the very first time I experienced feedback. The first time I saw that my ideas and my writing could engage people.

That’s when I started writing for earnest. For fun. Not just stories in my head anymore.

Inspired by the very thing that made me realize my writing was well-received, I wrote a story about my class. All of us on a school trip where a vampire pretended to be a teacher in training and planned on killing us all and we all banded together to kick ass.

My class loved it. They were super excited about it, I handed out copies, they all were so ridiculous proud of what they did in the story, what parts they played. They asked for more, so I wrote more.

Over the following few years, I wrote a total of five stores in that series. Us fighting a ghost, a wicked witch, an evil snow queen and well again the wicked witch when she returned for revenge.

And I got nothing but encouragement from my classmates. They loved it, they loved my writing, they talked to me about the stories, wanted more, wanted to give their own input. They supported me and they made me believe that this was something I actually could to, that I was actually good at.

I mean. That’s just what our class did together. We went to theater productions of our classmates, ballet productions, concerts they had with their choir, dance competitions. We always supported each other and each other’s passions.

And in 2006, I started writing fanfiction. I had been reading them for like two years at that point, but encouraged by my classmates liking my stories and supporting me, I decided that I could also engage with a larger crowd and start writing the things I come up in my head with down.

My first fandoms were Yu-Gi-Oh! and Beyblade and, well, I was well-received by a beautiful and accepting community there. The anime fandoms in Germany are huge. Outside of anime, not thaaat big, but Germans have had a big love for anime. And back then, fandom was treated differently. So you’re a newbie who has no idea how fandom works? Wait, let us, your 10 year older senpai, take you under our wings, share our wisdom with you and improve you as both a fan and a writer - yeah, that was the approach taken back then.

I loved that. I learned a lot back then. I really think all fandoms should reinstall the “older fans mentoring younger fans” thing. It might help against that anti-problem.

But, anyway, I feel like I’ve gone beyond the point of answering at this point, so I’ll just wrap it up. That’s it. That’s the story of how I found the passion and motivation to write. I swear, one day when I have a lot of time I’ll probably write a pointless rant about my high school class in more detail...

[pirequehideux-a-blog]

[edited!]: This post is now just being used as personal reference for a big project going forward! Don’t mind it, PSAs will come when needed!

The current sitch:

Presently I have 3 tumblr accounts I have any possible intention on using: 

my personal ( mainblog: skykinks ) which I use to follow IRL folks, artblogs, and other junk. It’s really messy, though, and I don’t log on as much as I want to. It also sort of acts as the ‘holding’ place for all my inactive sideblogs so I don’t have to feel guilty looking at URLs I’m not active on. Also currently the home of my artblog, which is a sideblog.

main RP account ( mainblog: pirequehideux ) which I use for general RP purposes. Great and all, but all my follows come from one RP blog which is currently in desperate need of an overhaul.

side RP account ( mainblog: marmoriites ) which is a??? RP account I made to house all my anime RP shit ( which is frankly mostly Voltron ), and while I really love the worldbuilding I did there, and am really happy with my muses, I don’t like the fandom and don’t feel like reaching out so... these blogs are getting shoved in the graveyard but I don’t want to abandon all the work? marmoriites started out as a sideblog and shouldn’t be TOO hard to move back to one, that way I can at least keep my #branding and my content easily accessible.

Between the first two accounts, I have-- a SHITTON of sideblogs. ( though I’m putting my full blog list here, just so all my info is in one spot )

pirequehideux - Altered Plot Phantom of the Opera. Needs a bit of a characterization overhaul. Might??? Go quiet for a while as I want to use my version of the story to make an actual graphic novel for publishing, since Leroux’s book is open license and I’ve literally written my own version!

tidehearted - Age of Sail multimuse. Not going anywhere, just needs to be polished & have some muses added.

ferrousstars - Panfandom multi for muses that don’t fit anywhere else, or whose fandoms I avoid getting too deep in. I’ve also been using it to sort of store some RPC type stuff?? Needs muses added, might have more going on- but that’ll be below.

neutralreborn - Tolkien AU Melkor. Needs a bit of a re-vamp for characterization.

forgedinflame - Tolkien Gothmog/Kosomot who might as well be an OC for all the character development I’ve given him, versus his minimal canon appearances, & has a billion AUs that make him accessible in almost any fandom- except Age of Sail because he fucking hates water. Needs to have more information added.

elvesbehavingbadly - Tolkien multimuse Needs completely rebuilt tbh, and needs characters/details added. Huge project tbh.

ofsubtlearts - HP Severus Snape. All HP blogs need a disclaimer/selectivity update. Needs some verses added and some info updated/re-organized.

technicallyaferret - HP Draco Malfoy. All HP blogs need a disclaimer/selectivity update. Needs a SERIOUS overhaul to most info/characterization details, needs tags, etc.

indiscretus - HP multimuse. All HP blogs need a disclaimer/selectivity update. Needs a complete overhaul & move to a fresh blog ( same URL ). full overhaul, basically.

violencetorn - a Kylo Ren blog I foolishly made because I fell in love with those damn movies. He may or may not make his way onto ferrousstars, but I also just want to find a use for the bg I made for this blog. Otherwise this blog is going to the graveyard.

url redacted - super hidden private marvel multi. Needs a HUGE overhaul & major update. might be going less hidden eventually with it??

marmoriites/marmcrites - voltron galra/worldbuilding hub. needs to be scooted to a sideblog & re-organized but probably needs to stay dead.

lionlocked - voltron paladin blog. Has basically no info on it whoops.

skyjynx - an aesthetic/moodboard blog. needs a url change because whoops this is my art username, needs cleaned up and some organizational tags added so I can reblog more general aesthetic pictures in addition to the blog when I don’t have time to make edits.

skyjynxart - my art blog. Needs to actually get running whoops orz

skykinks - miscellaneous??? personal??? 

Things I have been thinking about/wanting to do with my blogs/blogs I’ve been considering running:

fashion blog? - I always find gorgeous outfits/dresses/shoes/accessories/etc and think “I know I’m going to use this!!!” but have no immediate use for it so it sits in my likes for years bc I don’t have anywhere to stow it where it won’t get lost?? So I’ve been contemplating a fashion blog, or perhaps a set of fashion tags on that aesthetic blog, idk, to store stuff like that. Happening regardless of what big choice I make, but whether it’ll be a new set of tags when I revamp the aesthetic blog or a blog unto itself is to be determined.

RPH - I want to have a solid place to collect useful info, writing tips, memes I can’t use immediately but want to in the future, and possibly even answer questions for newbies or something like that. I don’t want to go super serious with a big RPH blog, but it would be nice to have somewhere to dump all my resources so they’re not scattered across blogs.

Rules

[last update - 07.12.2017]

First off, this page may be heavily updated in the future, since I am not very experienced with the rp community on tumblr nowadays - feel free to consider me as some kind of newbie though I've been rping in the past, things were a little bit different back then, I will do my best to adapt. What I am trying to say by this is that I will add/change rules along with my experiences, for example if I come across something I feel uncomfortable with. I will write a little text post to inform you if things have majorly changed. With that said, enjoy reading my basic rules, lmao.

For more info about the muse, go here. If you want to know about the mun, there.

General Information

This is an independent and semi-selective roleplay blog of my BNHA OC.

I obviously am OC-friendly. Multi-muses are depending - it can be confusing. If your rp blog is a sideblog, please tell me what your main is in order for me to keep track on who to follow and if we're mutuals. I interact with mutuals only. I am very selective about crossovers, I prefer rping in my muses universe, but I may make exceptions.

I am 24 and from Germany. Since English is not my native language, some grammar and spelling errors may occur, however I will always try my best and double-check before submitting a reply.

I am very okay with romance and shipping. I am also fine with multi-shipping, however my muse would not cheat on someone, all relationships will be in different universes.

Do not interupt a thread I am writing on with someone different than you. Starter calls/ask memes and the like are always open for multilpe persons but already ongoing rps are usually closed. If you want to interact with a certain situation/comment on something that has happened in a thread: write a separate ask/post about it.

Writing smut and other nsfw content is fine by me under certain circumstances. Altough I'm a very smutty person, I am not okay with writing smut without at least a bit of plot beforehand, much less if our muses have never interacted before. It'd be impossible for me to know how to act in these situations if I don't know how our muses interact in normal situations.

I will not write nsfw content with you if you are not at least 18+.

I may reblog/post drawings of my OC now and then - if not stated otherwise, those were drawn by me and it should go without saying that I do not want you to repost them without credit/permission or claim them as your own. If you do, I will report you without further notice.

Personal Things

I see how my muses abilities can remind of themes and shows like Steven Universe. I personally don't like Steven Universe much so please try not to make comparisons or jokes containing it. I don't want to affiliate my muse with a show I don't like.

Dragonball Z jokes however are okay, actually I can see Kenzou try to trick classmates into learning and performing the DBZ fusion dance in order to be able to use his quirk on them.

At this point, I am not up to date with the BNHA manga yet. However I don't care at all if you post spoilers or the like, I'm perfectly fine with that. Just know that I may not understand some plot-related things or know some characters all too well yet. Don't be too surprised if I mix things related to the manga up a bit - I just may have not reached a certain point yet. [This point will of course be deleted as soon as I reached the latest chapter and finally am up to date.]

I have ADD, AvPD and high grade depression. Therefore OOC posts may be heavily depression themed, but I will tag them accordingly.

Interacting with my ooc posts is okay.

I'm a slow writer, please be patient.

Mun faceclaim = Jinie Kwon [The Breaker: New Waves]

I'm all for quality over quantity. If my reply contains more or less words than yours, do not think I may have lost my interest or want you to write more as well. Sometimes I'm able to write more and other times I can't think of a way to make my reply any longer. I prefer to receive a reply at all, than for you to struggle keeping up with the numbers of words. At the same time, please don't be mad at me if my reply may end up a bit short. It's either that or my avpd making me avoid replying to the thread at all because I don't think I can pull off writing as much.

IC =/= OOC If you read both my mun and muse about pages, you probably realized that I am sharing a lot of traits with my muse. Yes, I may be self-inserting a bit but the genral rule of course is that all ic do not represent the mun. If our muses get into a fight, it is simply because of the ic interaction and in no way because I have a problem with you as a person. At the same time, if I'm a bit moody ooc, I will not try to make it show ic.

Triggers and Blacklisting

I'm fairly easy to handle. There are no real triggers for me, after spending over 6 years on tumblr I think I have seen some shit but I have never felt the need to blacklist anything other than specific fandoms/shows I do not feel comfortable with (those being: Rick and Morty, Homestuck & Hiveswap, Voltron, Hetalia, Transformers, MLP, Steven Universe). If you're part of these fandoms, please don't feel offended, I either have bad memories for these shows or just don't enjoy them. If you are rping as one of the characters of the shows I will not follow you/rp with you, so unless you are reblogging posts of these shows independently to your blogs theme there will no problems. If you do reblog content of these shows: please tag it. If your mun/muse faceclaim is a character of these shows, please ask me if I am okay with it - in some cases I may make some exeptions. Since my muse likes to fuse animals, I may reblog pictures/drawings of animal hybrids or mutated animals. I will not tag them as 'animal abuse' unless the theme is actually showing - which I usually wouldn't even reblog. At this point I am not tagging them as things like 'body horror' either. If there is specific mutations that make you feel uncomfortable, please tell me. For example a irl photo of a snake with two heads: I would tag it as 'muliple heads'. If you are uncomfortable with the theme of fused animals altogether - maybe blacklist the tag { creations } or do not follow me at all. !!! This blog may contain triggering content like (minor) gore, explicit language, swear words, mentions of abuse, nsfw content, violence, depression, anxiety and so on. I will always do my best and tag everything as good as I can. Should I ever forget to tag something or if there's something specific you want me to tag, always feel free to contact me about it.

Examples of things I'll tag for you: nsfw, tw: spiders, tw: cannibalism, tw: gore, tw: irl gore, tw: animal abuse, tw: blood, tw: self harm Things I want you to tag for me: - other than the fandoms listed above, none so far -

If possible, please like this post after you read my rules, thank you!

[impediamenta]

for the fanfiction virgin (part one, the basics)

Hello, young one. Welcome to one of the most integral parts of fandom, the weird, wonderful, often terrifying world of fanfiction (also called fics, fanfic, ff, etc., etc.). Perhaps you are unhappy with the way your favorite book/tv show/movie turned out, perhaps you loved it so much you want more and you want it right now. Perhaps you aren’t a fanfiction virgin at all and are just reading this for the nostalgia. Either way, let’s get started. 

SITES

The main three websites you will use will be the following:

1. Archive of Our Own (AO3 if you’re in the know, which you will be after reading this post). This is the “cool” website, newer and more efficient that either of the other two sites I will list here. AO3 is easy to use, chock-full of content, and most importantly, the homeland of most of the weirdest shit out there. One of the benefits of this site is that you can easily find things without a link from another person, and can easily discover new fics on your own.

2. Fanfiction.net (also called ff.net). This site is more vintage than AO3, and is a son of a bitch to navigate. However, ff.net is useful because about three quarters of the fanfiction classics (to be mentioned later) are posted here. Often, you will end up reading fics on these by going through a fic rec blog (also to be mentioned later). Fanfiction.net often has older, longer fics than AO3.

3. Right here on tumblr! Many of the lovely people of tumblr post their fics straight to their blogs. Tumblr fics are often short, prompt-based, and cross-posted on another site.

There are other fanfiction sites, such as livejournal (super vintage) and other fandom-by-fandom sites. These I will not go into great detail about because a) there are too many to name, and b) most of them are so old that they either don’t work anymore or don’t have any fics less than ten years old on them. These are mainly found in the Harry Potter fandom, mostly because the HP fandom is the oldest and largest major fandom.

TERMINOLOGY

One shot: a story that is one chapter. This works the same way for two-shots and three-shots.

Multi-chap: a story that is multiple chapters. Not complicated, folks.

Smut: a story that is *not for the eyes of children*. If you are new at this, chances are you are under the age of fourteen and should stay away from any story tagged smut. See below for rating.

Rating: how a story is rated, much like with movies

- G, K, K+: General Audiences. Probably safe for anyone to read. Movie equivalent of G or PG.

-T: Teen and Up Audiences: Usually includes kissing, mild language and violence. Also often includes “fade to black” scenes in regards to sex. Chances are, if you made it through the book or movie, you’ll be okay.

-M: Mature Audiences. 90% OF THESE FICS ARE RATED FOR SEX. Be warned. The other ten percent have hard language and/or gory violence.

-E: Explicit. 100% OF THESE FICS ARE RATED FOR GRAPHIC SEX. There will be dicks in these stories. Do not say I didn’t warn you. This. Is. Porn. 

Note that the ratings for fics are determined by the author, and their idea of a mature story might be different than yours. If you are a person who is sensitive about coarse language, stick to the G rated stuff, as even T rated fics usually contain strong language. Tumblr fics do not usually have a rating.

OC: this is an original character. Rarely do you find a good one.

OOC: out of character, which means the author completely decided to ignore how an actual character looks/acts/is named. OOC characters are essentially OCs that have a slim basis in an actual story.

Canon: the actual work that the fandom is based on. For example, the canon for the HP fandom is the book series Harry Potter. This is a useful term in distinguishing what actually happened vs what fanfic writers made up.

Headcanon: otherwise known as a fan theory. Usually little blurbs that are not explicitly mentioned in canon but there is no reason that they can’t be true. Some headcanons have become so normalized that the fandom accepts them as canon. Example, people were saying Dumbledore was gay long before JK Rowling confirmed it.

Crossover: Fanfiction written as a part of two different fandoms. Enough said.

Ship: the basis of fandom. A pairing of two characters that people really really really want to get together. A major portion of fanfiction is dedicated to gay ships both possible and impossible. Gay ships are the foundation of any fandom. That isn’t to say you can’t find straight fanfiction, just that you might have to look harder for the good stuff.

Fluff: tooth-rotting, sweet, I-love-you-honeybear, fanfiction. I can’t write it, I can’t read it, but most people like it. I am just mean.

Angst: the anti-fluff. As you may have guessed, depression, job loss, sexual confusion and violence are all usually par for the course when it comes to angst. I love it. I love it so much.

Classic: a fanfiction that has been around in a fandom for so long that it is basically required reading. People will judge you if you haven’t read the classics of your ship. Sometimes there are fanfictions of the classic fanfictions. So, you, fanfiction virgin, need to start there. 

And finally:

AU: alternate universe fanfiction. We’ll talk later about the many different types of AU, mostly because AUs are where things start to get weird.

FANFICTION ETTIQUETTE

1. This is the most important rule of fanfiction: if you like a fic, let the author know. On AO3, the easiest way to do this is by leaving kudos. The kudos button is located at the end of a fic or chapter, and you don’t even need to have an account to leave them. On both AO3 and ff.net, comments/reviews can be left. These are even better than kudos and make an author’s day. On tumblr, like and reblog. Doing these things is so important, because it helps an author’s work get read.

2. Sigh. This is going to sound so mean.

If you are new, please don’t start writing just yet. Chances are, you don’t know what the hell you are doing. Read, see how fanfiction writing works, and then you can start writing. It’s different than writing a paper for your English class. If you have an idea, write it down and revisit it later, or write and don’t post just yet. Also, I’m going to do a little self promo for part 3.

3. Don’t correct people’s grammar in the comments. Yeah, their grammar sucks, but no one needs to hear you bitching about it.

CONCLUSIONS

This is where I’m going to end part one, because I have realized that the AU section is going to be long enough to warrant its own post.

Also, if you are not new to fanfiction and are just reading this for the nostalgia, reblog this post along with a fanfiction that is considered a classic in your fandom. Include fandom name and title (and link, if you have one). Help the newbies out! If we get enough I may just find the energy to compile a list later on. We’ll see.

PART TWO   PART THREE

[babycracker]

awright it's no longer too early for me to be sappy so here it comes bitches. gonna straight up put it under a cut bc this shit's gonna get long.

first of all i'm blown away by how many of you dm'd me and/or sent asks wishing me a happy birthday!! thank you guys all so much, it means a lot and its had me in my feels all day ❤

i hate doing like appreciation posts so thats not what this is, and besides i know that if you've helped me out over the last 12 months, with anything from my personal irl stuff to fandom drama, you know who you are bc i've alr shown my appreciation directly to you.

so to you guys. for all the times i've been in a complete downer abt my family or my ex or whatever else and you've been there to listen to me rant and complain. for all the times you've gone out of your way to let me know that you're there for me when things have been shit. for all the times you had my back when fandom bs got stirred up, or when i was being taken advantage of. for all the hours of your lives i've wasted detailing plots and oc's out loud to you and you put up with it and even ENCOURAGED it. for all the support you've shown me, not just with my fanfic writing but with my og fic stuff, and with my return to school. seriously, thank you so so much. like i know i've thanked you before but i don't know if you realise how much it's meant to me, and i honestly don't know where i'd be at rn if i didn't have so many of you amazing ppl behind me. i'm so, so grateful to have met you and to be able to call you my friends ❤❤

also, i kinda still consider myself a twc newbie, i only really dived right in and got going for real at the start of the year, and it's unbelievable how welcome i've felt. SUCH a massive contrast to some other fandoms and i know i was kinda shy and inactive for a while there but i'm really trying to get better with that so if you've ever wanted to say hi, or send me an ask (on or off anon idc), please do it! pls don't ever think you're gonna be bothering me or anything, i probably wanna talk to you as much, if not more than you wanna talk to me. and for everyone i've alr interacted with, thank you so much for making me feel so welcome and being so supportive! ❤❤
