Fanfic Writer Wednesday

Here I go, here I go, here I go again...

Does anyone know what my weakness is? It’s men. 

Specifically men played by Henry Cavill and so when I go looking for fic these days, I’m looking for fic written about men played by Henry Cavill. You know, you’ve heard me. It’s Sy. It’s Walter. It’s August. Sometimes I even give Mikey a try.

@hope-to-hell​ gives me what I need. A masterlist full of good shit. And look, a lot of this is deep, dark, hedonistic, stuff. At least what I’ve read. I could be wrong, but if you’re looking for comfort or fluff, this may not be the place for you. (Anyone knows otherwise, feel free to point me there, because again, I have NOT read the entire masterlist.)

There is a ton of August Walker, including this amazing dark and sticky series, Dream State, that just begs for his demise to be fake. I regret not reblogging every chapter so I’m making up for it by rec’ing it again here.

Need Walter? (Fuck yeah, I need Walter) You’ll find plenty of him and with all his filth and de-stress needs, like in a Locker Room After Hours. Maybe some phone sex (with an unexpected twist of Mike?) Just some real deep and meaty shit here.

Mike makes a lot of appearances, so you get that, too.

There are dabblings of several other HC characters including this amazing shibari!Sy fic. You ever wanted Sy as a sub? You got it.

Look, there is a LOT. The masterlist has masterlists. It also contains non-HC stories, which, look. When you find a good writer, you just read a good writer, okay? Give it a shot. You may find something you like, something that makes you wanna shoop. And if not, that’s okay, too. It’s just a good idea to try.

Don’t forget. Writers crave your support. Likes are nice and all, but a good comment goes a long way. As do reblogs. Reblogs with comments??? Heaven. So get out there and show us what you got.

As always...

Okay, so, wetlands. I love 'em. I do. There fucking amazing. You know what else they are? Total bad boys. You think they give a damn about our labels? You thought there were only 3, 4, or maybe 6 different types of wetlands, didn't you? Cowards! There are so, so many more. The most popular 4 to introduce are the swamp, bog, marsh, and fen but HOO BOY. That's just where wetlands get started! Most wetlands can't even fit in just one of those categories! I just talked about vernal pools in my first post. Those don't even come close to fitting into any of those four.

Speaking of vernal pools, my first post really only talked about the US. You know why? Vernal pools is really only the accepted vernacular for those types of wetlands IN THE US. Any place in the world that had receding glaciers has a probability of hosting vernal pools, but they'll call them something wildly different! We can't even agree on names for these guys! But I really want to talk about the DEFINITION of wetlands.

Did you know scientists can't even really, truly agree on one solid definition of a wetland? Yeah! They're still debating it! There are some widely accepted definitions, sure, but these wetlands out here are still stumping everyone. And as they keep trying and trying, the definition just keeps getting longer and longer. You know why? Because you can't pin the wetlands, baaabbyyy! They're not gonna let you just slap a label on them like that! They're their own biome! There's so much complexity and so much that goes into being a wetland! You can't just hold them down like that. How dare they even try.

All that to say maybe go give your local wetland some lovin'? I'm sure it could use it. Wetlands are so underappreciated, and they do a lot for us and your local biodiversity. Maybe go check up on it? Say hi? Pick up that wrapper? No, the Snickers wrapper, but that one probably shouldn't be there either. Thanks!

y’all just— thinking about how excited Stanley must have been to host the twins— Alex says he smokes cigars but he doesn’t smoke once in the show— has a beer gut but he only drinks sodas in front of the kids— doesn’t swear when they’re around which must have taken INCREDIBLE effort— Stanley Pines, known crook, buying pancake mix at the supermarket and many bottles of syrup— learning to cook basic healthy meals and burning so many of them before he gets it right— buying new sheets, new mattresses— avoiding bunk beds because it reminds him of Ford— looking at the attic room he made wondering “is this enough will they like me”— trying to act aloof at the bus stop so he doesn’t betray the fact that he was there hours early— watching them goof around and thinking of New Jersey beaches— then the first night they’re there, he watches them debate running away and only stay because Mabel shook a magic 8 ball. That must have kept him awake all night.

Expertise can't help you here.

Random goon: Hey boss, were you the one to pick that name as an alias? And why this one?

Red Hood : I used to have another name, before... A long time ago. But that person is dead now. I get to choose for myself now, they can't take that from me. I won't let them.

Goon: Huh.

***

Random Goon: Say boss, why do you never take off your shirt in front of us?

Red Hood: Well uh, I actually have that really fucked scar on my chest and I'm not comfortable with...

Random Goon: Don't worry boss, we get it, you don't have to explain yourself to us.

***

Red Hood, high on some toxin: God, I wish my family...

Random Goon (on boss-sitting duty): why not try reaching out to them?

Red Hood: They would never accept me as I am now... They wouldn't agree with my so-called "life choices". Besides, they don't miss me, they miss the person they think I used to be... I wasn't even a man when I last saw them.

Random Goon: Damn boss, that sucks.

***

And then the goons throw the Red Hood a party on trans visibility day and Jason is so confused he straight up cries.

Comments on old fics are my absolute love language. Be very careful. I will fucking marry you after a really good comment.

@headcanonheadcase @hlizr50 @mystical-blaise @beaumaismortel @hellogoodbye14 @daevastanner @captain-of-the-gwynriel-ship

i don’t think people really get how little feedback fanfic authors actually get? like the effort to reaction ratio is so abysmally skewed here that a fic nearly 50,000 words long takes an entire year to amass like. 16 comments. someone reblogged a fic i wrote at 4 am and tagged it with a 5-word compliment and i can’t stop thinking about it, not because it was so nice but because half the time you post a fic you’re going to hear nothing and anything feels like so much

fandom culture is so, so good about giving artists the credit they’re due, but we gotta start doing that for writers too. you’ve got no idea how much people put into their stories and get maybe a handful of reblogs and a dozen-odd kudos. that’s not enough. writing is an endurance sport and y’all need to start giving fic writers a reason to endure it and improve their craft. encourage writers like you encourage artists. reblog fics, leave tags, leave comments, acknowledge that these stories do not just spring into being for your entertainment. 

every single damn writer i know feels like half of their readers see them as a machine. that’s gotta change.

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

“But what does Grover bring to the table? He’s just the comedy relief character.” Grover is juggling the role of babysitter, mediator, and emotional manipulator and he cracks jokes too? Give him a BREAK

I love flirty Stan that becomes a flustered mess the second it's reciprocated
