Fanfiction Writiny Blog

(opening the author’s works page after finishing a fic) and if im lucky they’ll have written this exact same fic but different a bunch more times

i am not immune to the "character's eyes glow when they use their powers" trope

i have this disease that makes me find it hot as fuck when a character's eyes glow as a warning when they're really angry or upset and about to use every last shred their power to absolutely waste the shit out of the target of their rage it's called having excellent taste

sir that is my beloved mutual with whom i have not shared a fandom since 2013

SIR that is my- okay, look i can't actually remember why i followed them or why they followed me, but I LOVE THEM, it would be WEIRD not to see them reblogging gifsets of shows i have no interest in!

in fanfiction we must sometimes ask ourselves not if he would do that but under what conditions would he would do that

my beautiful wife "open link in new tab"

the most annoying people are people who don't understand storytelling. they be like "oooo how convenient that this thing happened to the main character in the very beginning". yeah no shit. that's why the story begins here

"If this one things hadn't happened the main character wouldn't be so important" You mean the catalyst? If the catalyst of the plot didn't happen the plot wouldn't happen? Dude, that's fucking crazy. No, seriously, it's so crazy that in the book "What Happens After The Catalyst" the catalyst is the only reason the story takes place.

Sometimes self-care is going back and re-reading all the comments people have left you on every fic you ever wrote

I know a ton of people have said this before but for the love everything PLEASE stop treating AO3 like instagram. It is NOT cringe to comment on an old story. It’s an archive old stories are still meant to be found and read. Please think about interacting with the fic you read: at least kudos if you read it, a comment would be ideal. The authors will be over the moon. I guarantee you not a single author is going to ask why someone is commenting on an older fic.

Do you ever binge read someone’s work on ao3 and get the urge to serenade them, like, hello my fair fic author you have wooed me with your excessive flowery metaphors and complete lack of plot, even your messy 3am fics with very visible flaws are gorgeous, your self indulgent dynamics have enchanted me, please accept my kudos
