Uhh i don't actively have wip folder for... anything really so I made one for this, these are the wip and wip-related documents in there as follows

if it's good enough for you, then it deserves to be made. don't let anyone else decide if your story is worth it or not.

You know when

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

I am incredibly serious right now when I beg you all, please, and if you have Twitter or Tiktok or whatever to please spread the word: click on an author's profile on Ao3.

You want to know if an author has written more? Want to know if they're still writing? Want to see more from them? Want to know if they've written a trope or kink or sex scenario you enjoy?

Click on their name. And look at their profile.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last six months someone has read a new or newer fic of mine and said they (a new reader who has read nothing else I've done) "can't wait to see what you do next!" I've written 50+ fics and over a million words already.

"I don't know if you're still writing..." click on my profile. I am. I literally wrote a 128k+ fic for that ship last month.

"Would you ever do X?" "Please do Y!" I already did. Click on my name and look at my works.

Archive of our Own is a library. It's an archive. Not social media. It is your responsibility to fight back against the laziness that corporate algorithms have trained into you.

Click my author name. Just click it. Just click it.

Before you demand more, or ask if a writer will do XYZ, or wonder if the author still writing, or anything - click on their profile. Click on the author's profile.

I'm not trying to be mean or condescending or anything like that. I'm just exhausted. It's disheartening and frustrating to repeat myself ad nauseam, because someone couldn't take thirty seconds to do the tiniest bit of work to see if I've written lately, if I've written more for their ship, or scan my works to see if I've written what they're asking for. Please. Please. I'm begging.

Click the author's name, and explore before you ask.

Thrill Seekers

Konner Kent: Okay, we're high up, but you just gotta jump-

Tim (Red Robin): Let's go!

Red Robin jumped out of the plane, not wearing the parachute, but holding it in one hand.

Nightwing fell backwards holding the parachute against his chest.

Jason walked out like the plane was on the ground, holding the parachute like it was a lunch bag.

Donna (impressed): Thrill seekers, freaking thrill seekers I swear.

Kon: Is that a qualification for getting adopted by Bruce?

Donna shrugged with a smile and jumped out next with Konner.

Importance of writing the self-indulgent story that you do want to write in exactly the way you want to write it

You won't find anything weird about being your own story's biggest fan. You wrote it in a way that's exactly what you envision the characters being. So you'll click on that thing without reservation or shame, enjoy the hell out of it and pat yourself on the back each time.

Your own story will be your absolute favorite in the world because it'll be perfect for YOU.

Why wait impatiently and frustratedly for a different author to write your fantasy for you? And no DON'T you dare say it's because that other writer is better than you.

No writer is perfect. We can all learn, improve and get better. If you have an idea in your mind, go learn how to bring it to life. Ask other authors, read other books/fanfics, watch videos on writing tips etc.

But stay away from AI. That shit is unforgivable.

Loving one's own work as a writer is tough but once you do get there, I believe that's the true meaning of self love for a writer.

Felt a bit nostalgic watching RT shut down…Here are the og faves again for old times sake 💙

Please please I'm begging you let's explore more adult/darker themes in self shipping

[inkprilled]

How do you feel about kindness being filmed like they’re performances. Someone hands a homeless person a sandwich, and boom, the cameras rolling. I’m a good person, they say without saying it, but the thing is a sandwich can only last so long, yet you'll be dining on those social media likes all week. Sure,it’s lovely, helping people. But here’s the thing: It’s sad that the world’s become a stage for doing good when you have a camera in your face, or worse in the face of someone struggling to live each day, they are not the supporting actors in your new tiktok. We don’t just help anymore. We sell the moment. Isn't it lovely though getting credit for being decent when your not just doing good. Your doing good for the algorithm.

Mainstream sci-fi loves to insist on having drab looking machines as tools of war and oppression almost as a self fulfilling prophecy. But what if, hear me out, we started considering a future with more humane AI and healthier relations to different modes of intelligence (ie. the entire non-human being population of Earth)? 🤔

[the-millennium-curse]

You're not wrong for feeling sad or disappointed or even betrayed when a fic you put time and work into gets very little attention. But I do want to remind you that one (1) kudos is a whole-ass human being who read through what you wrote, experienced it, thought about it, and realized they felt so strongly positive about it that they had to send that feeling to you. Try to let the feeling reach you. Feel that you changed someone's day, maybe even more.

Be proud of what you've done, even as you wish you did more.

Usual phone calls with Bruce and Jason

Jason (answering the phone): Sup?

Bruce: Did you steal my hair gel?

Jason (shooting a man charging at him): Yes.

Bruce: You’re not going to lie or anything?

Jason (kicking another goon attempting to jump him): Nah, you use the good stuff, and that good stuff is expensive. I won’t pay you back either.

Bruce (exhausted): If I send you the gel in bulk, will you stop doing that?

Jason: How long will it last?

Bruce: If you use it correctly, about a year.

Jason (his free hand holding back a goon): Hm... before I answer, what’s your opinion on fighting female criminals?

Bruce: Equal rights, equal fights.

Jason (kicking said goon in the stomach): Exactly, one second then.

The female in question charged at Jason attempting to strike him with her bat, but he grabbed the bat, tilted his head to keep hold of his phone then kicked the woman in her stomach. The lady groaned, but Jason quickly pressed his boot on her stomach to make her stay down.

Lady Queenpin (Spanish): ¡Pendejo, tenías que arruinarme todo! (Asshole, you just had to ruin everything for me!)

Jason (to her): Yeah, yeah cry about it in prison.

Jason sighed, looking around the warehouse then returning to his phone call with Bruce.

Jason: All right, that amount works for now. Glad we made a reasonable bargain.

Bruce (also refusing to say thank you): Glad you accepted it. Have fun on your mission, and for the love of God, don’t kill anyone.

Jason: Totally, totally, totally. I’ll call you back.

Jason abruptly ended the call and looked at the goons he shot.

Jason: Okay, are you guys alive or dead? Groan if you’re alive!

The three goons he shot all groaned to confirm they were at least alive. Jason nodded.

Jason: All right, didn’t shoot to kill, but if you guys die, that’s on you!

Lady Goon: I can't believe you hit a woman!

Jason: You’re a drug runner and an abusive parent. You’re lucky I let you live.

Lady Goon: ¡Eres un inútil! (You suck!)

Jason (spinning his gun with ease): And you have a hole in your arm.

Jason shot the lady in the arm with casual precision causing her immense pain, but she was alive to be arrested.
