at this point I don't even know if tag fragmentation in the general russian holmes space is worth addressing. a few years ago I successfully kept the ancient customs intact because I wrote a post so deranged and pretentious it displeased people into doing what I wanted but nowadays what's the point in making a grand return of being terminally online if yall kinda right

i'm baaaaaaaaack

got back from my international sojourn late late tuesday night (technically wednesday morning), had wednesday off to recover from the 16 hour drive, thought i would start catching up on shows, then i diiiiiiiid basically nothing all day. stayed in bed until 1pm, was super lazy around the house, chatted with friends i already miss desperately all day, didn't watch a single show.

i have SO MUCH to catch up on so i'm gonna start with 4 Minutes tonight so i can watch the third episode tomorrow, then i gotta start squeezing in all the episodes of things i'm behind on between having more crafting projects i gotta get started for delivery at the end of the month in a desperate attempt to get back on top of things.

hopefully not going out of town again for real until October will help when i have adventure plans with @poetry-protest-pornography and a couple other friends <3 we'll see how it goes.

why is it that on my Dark Urge play I end up with my poor Durge lying dead on the floor outside sorcerous sundries while Minsc and Karlach are in the eeby deeby and Shadowheart with her negative charisma is being arrested for crimes Durge committed and is banned from the wizard shop forever, and all I wanted to do was sell some junk from our inventory

Booktok was fun at first simply for the novelty of it but like after months on that algorithm like. Half of the content is just people reducing books to tropes and being like "here are books with this trope" or "what are books with this trope???" or "we need more books with this trope1!!1!" Like oh my GOD I'm taking the word trope away from y'all and putting it up on the shelf. Not bc ur using it wrong but bc ur being fucking annoying about it now

I feel like such a broken fucking person lol

I talked way too much in the tags don't read them

on one hand, if larian gave us raw rules for revivify/raise dead, you could do things like save Duke Ravengard without Mizora (ignore her, go to Iron Throne where he's going to be dead for some stupid reason, cast Raise Dead with a diamonds and boom. you can't tell me that he's been dead for more than 10 days when you find him) or just revive random NPCs for fun but on the other hand dear god the chaos

interested to hear your perspective on this. what do YOU think makes a fic become popular in the r/s fandom. because there are many many fics and most of them go unnoticed. what do you think makes for a popular fic in general & in the r/s fandom in particular?

hi hello this got a bit long so all under the cut xxx

i’ve been thinking on this question a bit and i feel like this is kind of a tricky question to ask because it IS mainly down to chance !! but i want to make a distinction between viral fics and just generally popular ones because the first is very much down to random chance and a few other factors — these fics tend to be plot heavy + long + high drama and angst. they read more like novels i think? but most fanfiction isn’t like that (i mean i don’t personally write anything like that!!). for me meaningful engagement with my fic didn’t necessarily mean i had accrued heaps of hits but occurred rather when i had a tumblr where i was making friends + posting about my fic and posting snippets etc. and interacting with people in the comments of my fic and on tumblr. i’ve pretty slowly just gained a reader base from that and over time the fics have been read and ppl come back to read my other ones ?? i guess!!

i think it also helps to have someone read over your work just to check for grammar and spelling + plot holes etc. because those things can have people clicking off a fic for sure. also tagging thoroughly and accurately on ao3 is really helpful so people can actually find your fic. in my experience the best thing you can do is write a story you really love + enjoy writing and have fun with because that’s when you write your best and people will see that in the story and writing…. and there’s like hundreds of very similar fics (i’m thinking lie low at lupin’s etc etc) so just… write whatever don’t worry about being original or whatever.

idk i’m curious what other people have to say about this because there’s a trend that i haven’t seen as much in other fandoms for fics to become ‘viral’ through twitter and tik tok (i mean atyd is like the most read fic on ao3 right?? or one of them??) and i think it’s really skewed people’s perception of what is typical engagement with fic (which tends to be small and perhaps builds over time) and what the purpose of posting is all about. writing should be about your own enjoyment and hopefully people get some out of it too. obviously it’s hard Not to want people to read and like and comment on your work but posting with that as the main hope in mind is just gonna be pretty miserable i think!!!!

So

I got my old MovieStar Planet account up and running again

And I was looking the art books and

…… 2019 me, we gotta talk……

Edit: I think in the art book I meant “what is Electric Century”
