"Vodka/Wine Aunt Vibes"

Fanfiction is insane. You can write porn so good you make friends.

*gently takes your face in my hands* hey. remember that fandom is for fun. if you're not having fun it is ok to step back. if you're intentionally making it unfun for others it is ok to step back. none of this is real. go sit in the sun and smell a flower. i love you.

also i know it's a meme that we all hate writing but that's not true. i fucking love writing. i am so serious, it's okay to love writing. you don't have to hate it to be a real writer. this shit rocks.

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

it is so so funny to me that i spent 99% of my art time drawing gay gay homo yaoi because like. okay humblebrag but. i have work in both an art gallery and a university exhibit. like for real. and no one there Will Ever Know my true passions

and like im proud of myself for my accomplishments and i have spoken about my art to like big kid real adults in my local art world and i want to keep doing that stuff but also my heart will always be with my drawings of characters i like kissing

Fanfic is a great way to practice self-indulgence while writing. It doesn’t even have to be good, it just exists purely for your pleasure, be a little freak about it. Worry about quality and what other people think when it comes to works you intend to publish in a formal setting

"He wouldn't say that" has a beautiful cousin, and her name is "That's Not What This Story is About".

every day I salute those brave fanfiction writers who came before me who went "you know what'd be fucked up? this" and then shared the result publicly online. this one's for you. *writes another vivisection fic*

btw if you comment on my fanfic to say you've been talking about it with your friends then i do love you but you do need to tell me what they said also. in fact when you make such a comment you should send authors the discord logs. its important. for our health

the most essential part of a fandom are those people who immediately tell you to write it, draw it, make it when you share your ideas, you have no idea how many fanworks are born just because someone encouraged it

another great way to make sure this continues is pressing the reblog button and going insane in the tags

an ao3 author is never late, nor are they early; they post precisely when they mean to

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started
