oh no! my hyperfixation is killing me AGH!

So it turns out I got obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Bayverse movies.

Not the first time. But damn, I thought I had escaped. I thought I was free, that I had broken the cycle, that my mind had finally moved on.

But those damn turtles always find a way back.

And you know the obsession is STRONG when it starts small—just a few TikTok edits, one here, one there, like you actually have control. But then you realize it’s already too late, because now you’re lying in bed, staring at the ceiling with your insomniac ass, imagining ridiculously specific scenarios where, somehow, you are the main character of an interdimensional drama with mutant turtles.

And you think that’s it. But oh no. Oh no, sweetheart. Because then comes the next stage: fanfics.

At first, you try finding them on Wattpad, until you realize there’s nothing there worth reading. So you take the leap to Archive of Our Own, and that’s where you find the good stuff. Paradise. Heaven. Until, little by little, you start noticing that even AO3 isn’t enough anymore.

Because now, fanfics aren’t cutting it. Now you’re HUNGRY. A deep, insatiable hunger for stories with details that only you would think of, for scenes that NO ONE has written before because they only exist in the depraved rabbit hole of your obsessed mind.

And then, you reach the final level of insanity. The point of no return.

Writing your own fanfic.

So guess which stage I’m in.

Hey Tumblr!

So, we’re just gonna come right out and say it: we’re a brand-new fanfiction website, and we’re super excited to meet you. Like, imagine us waving at you from across the room at a fandom convention, but less awkward and more “hey, we made this thing for you!” :)

Here’s the deal: we’re a place where you can write, read, and obsess over fanfiction. Just you, your favorite fandoms, and all the tropes your heart desires. Enemies-to-lovers? Found family? Slow burns that make you scream into your pillow? Yeah, we’ve got you covered.

Whether you’re a seasoned fic writer with a million WIPs or someone who just wants to binge-read on a rainy day, we’re here for it. And the best part? Our community is small (for now) but mighty, which means it’s the perfect time to jump in, share your work, and make some fandom friends.

If you prefer to go your own way and write original stories that are not based on any existing fandom... guess what? You can do that as well with us! We deeply respect authors who are creating something new.

So, what do you say? Come hang out with us, drop your latest fic, or just lurk and vibe. We’re not here to be all corporate and stuffy—we’re just a bunch of fandom nerds who built a thing we hope you’ll love.

Ready to join the party? Hit us up for the link or just search for us (you’ll know it when you see it, Fic.Fan). And if you’re already on board, drop your username below so we can shower your work with love. 💖

P.S. We’re still growing, so if you’ve got ideas or feedback, slide into our DMs. Let’s make this the best fic spot on the internet, together.

Yall know what it's like to get to a fandom of a 5-season series 7 years late?

DO I REALLY NEED TO WATCH ALL 5 SEASONS BEFORE TYPING THE TITLE ON THE INTERNET??? I WANT THE FEELING OF BELONGING ALREADY! NOW!

It's funny to me that certain fandoms have a common enemy and most times it's either the author themselves or the showrunner😂😂😂😂 Dramione =Jkr public enemy #1 and Bellarke The 100 =JRoth public enemy#2. We know why we hate them I ain't gonna explain that.

We had fun narrowing down Moira Rose’s wigs for the past 5 weeks and you have spoken (through voting on @unboiled’s instastory).

Moira’s pastel pink “rocker” wig 👩🏻‍🎤 outlasted the competition to be SIMPLY THE BEST — oh, and because we love alliteration, you can call this: The Wackiest Wig 🙌

What franchise should we do a bracket for next? Let us know in the comments. 👇

I only accept one instance of artificial intelligence and it's him

like i'm sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it's something we "want to see" like destiel kisses. it's not suddenly fine. we're not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters "say" stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered "bonus" scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.

What a wonderful post! Very useful for any writer!

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

(save the images to zoom in on the pics)

BTW!

We are trying to embrace the spring here with the new gifts available for limited time only.

Just saying.

Yall ever get into a piece of media (song, artist, series, book, etc.) and are afraid of falling out of love with it?

Do you limit your access to the fandom because you fear that it will become plain and common in your eyes? Are you scared of running out of admiration for it? Do you want to savour the feeling of being new to it? To preserve the love at first sight?

Are yall ever afraid of fangirling too close to the sun?

I so relate. Yesterday I was so done with fluid mechanics that I just straight up told myself "Do it for Captain Nemo. He needs your help on the Nautilus"

I have to finish a presentation about nanotechnology by Monday. I need to start fixating. Suddenly, Odysseus is now a nanotechnologist
