saw someone say that they don't read fics under 10k and had to laugh because more fool you, that is where all the bangers are. obviously I'm biased but truly nothing hits like a 1.5k fic with a lowercase title from some obscure poet where nothing actually happens and yet you emerge blinking with a completely new outlook on the character. infinitely rereadable. like a perfectly crafted pastry. I'm gobbling them up!

@ fic authors what do you personally consider a successful fic? What’s the bar?

actually writing the fic down

write that self indulgent fic, you would be insanely surprised how many people are waiting for THAT Fic™

Excuse me I'm extremely normal about The Character. Yes I got a stomachache thinking about them in passing and needed to lie down for a bit before I felt well enough to go about the rest of my day. But apart from that I'm completely and utterly normal about them.

unfortunately i can never hate on a "power of friendship" narrative no matter how corny because the thing is it's literally real

listen to me. this is my final message to you. when you are at your lowest a fictional guy will come to you and when that happens you must start putting them in situations. this is the meaning of life.
