I, of mostly sound body and spirit, request that if I’m ever to die, someone post a new work on my AO3 that says “sorry, she died, ongoing stories postponed forever” because don’t I want my fanfic buddies to think I ghosted them. Amen or whatever you say in a will.

Writing an "Oh. Oh." moment, except instead of "Oh shit, I am in love" it's "Oh shit, I am traumatized."

The sentence: Probably took a few inches off.

Me: This character would probably use centimeters, right?

The sentence, edit 1: Probably took a few centimeters off.

Me: No, that suggests much less length.

The sentence, edit 2: Probably took a few decimeters off.

Me: That's too much length.

The sentence, edit 3: Probably took a decimeter or two off.

Me: That's clunky and the difference between a decimeter and two is too big to not just pick one.

The sentence, edit 4: Probably took a decimter or so off.

Me, staring: That's... so clunky.

The sentence, now: Probably took a few inches off.

Me when i write fluff: *SNIFF* *SNIFF* *CRYING* THEY'RE SO HAPPY. THEY FINALLY GET THEIR GOOD ENDING. AUGHHHH.

Me when i write angst: Hmmm which one of these chucklefucks will i bestow horrid psychological torture upon this time?. I will make them feel so hopeless that THEY ARE SO SAD AND FUCKED UP AND THEY WANT TO FUCKING KILL THEMSELVES AHAHAHAAHAHHAHA.

Me: First drafts are there to only exist. Not to bee good, not to be perfect. They are there to be edited later on the line. You can't edit a blank page!

Friend: Good! So finish your first draft.

What if we’re living in an AU on AO3?

What if there’s another version of us in cannon running around killing monsters, but some random person wrote our lives ‘Alternate Universe—Modern Setting’ style?

What if that time you said ‘That’s make a good TV show’ the author was telling an ironic joke and giggling to themself?

What if when you meet a weird person on the street you never see again, the author was doing an Easter Egg for the readers where that was another character from the story?

What if you’re straight in canon but so queer-coded the fandom decided you weren’t?

What if you’re written OOC?

What if—

Hello writer. I'd like to play a game. You have to write a mentally ill character without demonizing them or making them a joke.
