Fanfic Writer Appreciation Post
I’m afraid I have a problem. I really haven’t been reading much lately, so I find this to be a bit...awkward. (Believe me, it has nothing to do with quality of the fics my fellow writers produce, and everything to do with my own inability to enjoy certain things.)
However, that certainly doesn’t mean I don’t hugely admire many of the writers in the fandom! Even though I‘ve had to disengage from much of the fandom, I continue to be blown away by the amount of talent I see here. It’s so inspiring—and sometimes a little intimidating. However, since I haven’t really been keeping up with anyone’s fics, it’s very hard to offer proper praise.
Nevertheless, you all deserve a lot of love for everything you’ve contributed, even if I’m unqualified to properly express that. So instead of contacting you each individually, I’m going to link to your tumblr and your AO3. Even if I’m not in the best position to give you guys the appreciation you deserve, I’m going to share the love as best I can, with apologies that I’m not able to be more supportive.
@keelywolfe — Excellent Spicyhoney content on their blog and their AO3. They are an extraordinarily talented writer, and not to be missed.
@me-and-my-gaster — Who cannot be tagged. They’re a brilliant writer with a variety of content on their AO3. Definitely check out Thunderstruck.
@alicedragons — A good friend and an amazing writer. Their AO3. 😘
@sincognito — Another friend who writes brilliant fics. Their AO3 is here.
@shewolf85 — Who also can’t be tagged. Plenty of Spicyhoney on their AO3. Definitely check them out!
@sansy-fresh — Their AO3 is here—multi-shipping and plenty of hurt/comfort and fluff.
@crysta-cub — I’ve only just started reading their stuff, but it’s very enjoyable. Definitely rec. They’re Breezles on AO3.
@damnedxfate — For goodness’ sakes— More multishipping goodness, with a stronger emphasis on the same-universe Fontcest ships. Lots of Sans-centric material, for interested parties. AO3 right here.
Do I even need to bother rec’ing @bonerpuns? I’m sure everyone is familiar with their work—you don’t need me to praise their prose. AO3 here just in case (they go by nilchance over there). Lots of Kustard and Fellcest.
@rainoverthemountains — No AO3, but I am absolutely adoring their Twist-centric fic, as I’m sure you all know. ^_^
@mystery-fic-anon — Their AO3 is here. Delightful variety of ships and some very nicely written smut.
@itsstrangelypermanent — They’re Suliana on AO3, and their writing is awesome. Definitely check out their Atypical-inspired fic, but they have plenty of others as well.
@megalotrash — The smut queen deserves a mention, of course. 😉 Their AO3 is here.
They’re off Tumblr, but I can’t not mention Askellie and Ravvi-k. Beware! Darkfic and noncon here, but it’s all very well done.
@ollie-oxen-free — Love them and their work, even if I’m not allowed to praise them. Their AO3 is here.
Another writer I can’t find on Tumblr is TrashTheater. They are absolutely wonderful, and I highly recommend anyone interested in Papcest and intense hurt/comfort check out their fic ‘Chain Me to You’.
@odderancyart — Odd specializes in historical fiction, and it’s delightful. Their AO3 is here.
SXH1417 — I don’t know their Tumblr, but they write some pretty entertaining smut. As does @vex-bittys (who has an AO3, but I cannot find it).
@lycovore — Vore is not my thing, but I admit I’ve checked in on their fics and sometimes they’re cute in a way I never expected. They’re wolfbunny on AO3.
Finally, @deckof-dragons — They are the sweetest person, and I admire their dedication to their craft. They write so much, and their range is amazing—everything from the sweetest fluff to darkfic. And eggs. Lots of eggs. Here’s their AO3.
That’s not everybody. It’s not even everyone I can think of. But these are the people that I really I like and admire as my peers. I always wish I could engage more frequently with their content and tell them more often how much I admire their work, even though I’ve discovered it’s best if I distance myself from certain tropes, themes, etc.
Thank you all so much for your work. Your talent is so humbling, and I’m really honored to be part of a fandom that has so many extremely talented creators. You are very much appreciated.
