#life and times of a fanfic author

[buginateacup]

Every single fic update there is an author trying frantically to find the right balance between a nonchalant aside of "leave a comment if you enjoyed =)" and clinging desperately to the coat tails of a random stranger, dragging along behind them on the street wailing "Please, please! I have to know what you thought! I'm desperate to talk to people about this! Ask me about the alliterative repetition! Ask me about the symbolism!"

i’m writing my thesis and i thought like, whew i did so much work!! let’s see how many words i’ve typed in already—and it’s just around 6.000 words… about 30ish pages. My mind immediately goes to how dedicated fanfic authors are… i stare in horror as i realize how many pages of fanfics i must’ve read all this time… this is a love letter to all fanfic authors out there… y’all are insanely talented and so dedicated to your work

I simply think this fandom doesn't give Wei Wuxian enough credit for the various ways in which he saved Lan Wangji

[alexihollis]

great minds and all that 😈

How it feels scrolling through my dash to try and find @flowersandskeletons526 's latest fic (which i still havent finished reading) only to discover that @alexihollis has ALSO decided to post angst today

*Reads more fics*

*Gets more ideas for fics that I definitely don't need to start but definitely probably will* "Oops"

alright I'll cave and finally post about this, I've sat on it for at least two weeks at this point.

this is inspired by Snakes in the Garden by Miss_Ginger_Bread on AO3. fantastic fic, I've never read anything and have images come to my head the way this fic made me.

idk or I could just be a sucker for sibling bonds and this hit the right spots. either way, it is phenomenal and I really enjoyed it.

me rambling about art below, really not important I just feel I had things to say. for better or for worse.

traditional art kills me. forgive me, I don't have the motivation to set up my drawing tablet so I've done everything traditionally for the last month or so. yes I am aware I screwed the gravity falls style up a bit, I promise it bothers me more than it does you. this piece went from being in a completely different style to borderline gravity falls style and I'm still not 100% sold on it, but I'll live.

also stan's right (left..?) hand, the one gripping the wheel, makes me angry. I screwed the lines up and then couldn't fix them the farther along I got so it just looks goofy. and the colours just aren't right. but it's markers, you gotta do what you gotta do. I could go on, but I'm going to stop now.

okay I'm posting this now before I chicken out and save it in my drafts for another few weeks I'll come back and fix any issues if I can look at this post after this

tagging @renegadeknight @becomethesun @mote-of-star-dust @howtotrainyourdoofus and anyone else who wants to play

[prepare4trouble]

Anybody else know that feeling when you think about a fanfic you haven’t read in years and you want to read it again but you can’t remember the author or the title, all you know is the plot and that it was so damn good and you have no idea how to find it?

[prolibytherium]

Somehow that ongoing 1,500,000+ word The Beatles Paul McCartney x John Lennon fanfiction I read includes like the most absolute minuscule details of the Beatles lore, like tiny little things where I was like "that can't be real" but I looked it up and it was (IE a guy claiming to be Jesus Christ barging in on one of their recording sessions). But it does NOT include the apparently real group masturbation sessions

[currentlyreadingawesomefanfics]

Somnolent Act One is officially complete! Stay tuned for Act Two let me know what you think of the ending and the series as a whole :]

How sella, zella and sella meet.

Chapter one: sella, meet's zella

Warning: murder will be included and swearing

It was a normal day, sella, walking cross the street going back to her home after a long day at her baking job. But as she was walking, she heard a scream in the dark ally way next to her. Concerned (obviously) about it she went to check out what was going on. Sella reached the end of the ally way and saw a woman that had the same hair style as her, two buns at the top of her head, the women turns around covered in blood and a knife.

Mysterious woman: oooh shit, welp, I guess I have to kill this one to.

Sella: wait, wait, wait, what's you're name?

Mysterious woman: why the fuck would I tell you my name? You gonna report me to the police? If so, then you're a dumb ass by saying that, cuz who would ever especially criminal's or murderer's.

Sella: no is not like that, but I should, but I'm not gonna do it, cuz I wanna actually know you're name.

Mysterious woman: what 0_0

Sella: yeah! So would you say you're name? I mean you don't have to tho.

Mysterious woman: uh- ugh fine my name is zella, happy now?!

Sella: hm, that's interesting, cuz my name is sella, but instead of saying it like "sella" it said like "zella".

Zella: will I write as "zella" but it said "sella" huh. Also how the fuck aren't you scared right now!

Sella: idk, I don't get scared that often. So wanna be friend's? :D

Zella: ... No

Zella said but she actually wanted be come friend's, cuz she never had a real friend before. Not after what happened last time....

Sella: oh come on! Eh, oh well. Anyways bye I guess! :)

Zella: ... Ugh! Fine I will.

Sella: really?!

Zella: ugh yeah 😒

Sella: yay! Anyways, I'll go and and see you after umm... What ever you where doing.

Zella: yeah, okay. But don't you dare tell anyone one or you will bey next victim...

Sella: okay!

[koifishscribbles]

notice how I included a warning for even joking about mpreg in my fic, very mindful, very demure

[sum-thing-blablabla]

Oh fuck I did it.. I made the Guardian Angel fanfic.

Just did the first chapter today & I’m not sure how to feel about it? Here’s the link if you’d like to check it out:

PLEASE tell me what to fix on here, since I’m not too sure myself. Hand me that constructive criticism freshly served on a golden plate, baby!

Anyway, have a wonderful day~

[starwarjotta]

there’s a special place in hell for people who take the time and go through the effort of leaving negative comments on fanfics, like-- what is wrong with you, what is LEGITIMATELY wrong with you? I’m so angry and so devastated on behalf of everyone who has been harrassed like this and who is going through something like this right now. There’s no excuse for shitty behavior - if you intentionally leave a hurtful comment on something someone created and put out there for other people’s enjoyement, for free, after spending probably HOURS if not WEEKS or MONTHS or longer on it, you’re an incredibly shitty, disgusting, miserable waste of space of a person be better

Suddenly there is Everlark and Hayfie all over my dash and now my brain is running so wild.

Now I want to write a time travel fix it(yeah, no surprise there, I know lmao) where a bunch of them wake up in the past and Katniss and Peeta still go into the 74th Games because they know they can make it out. But while they're doing that, everyone else outside with their memories teams up and they manage to kickstart the rebellion early and crash the 74th games instead of the 75th. So a bunch of the District 13 stuff happens wayyyy earlier and it sparks even more chaos and rebellion. Oh, and Rue lives, so does Cinna. And a few others!
