even better than getting prev'd in tags: getting "good analysis!"-ed in tags

this fic is so good i hope i write it

how to tell mutual they intrigue me greatly and i would be honoured to be allowed to grow a friendship where i may study them up close without saying any of that

how to tell mutual i know i havent interacted with them directly in like five months but i still think of them highly and semifrequently and their art is still a source of inspiration for my own

i want someone to put this into writer’s blocks now

Writer’s block means you need to relearn the whole alphabet. idiot.

I found out relatively recently that it really helps if I write short fiction surrounding the novels I write. Like oh? I’m stuck for a bit? Ooh there was that section I wanted to explore but doesn’t fit in the plot really. There was that what-if that could never happen in the actual story but would be fun to explore. It keeps me in the characters’ headspace (tho that’s not always what I’m needing) but not right where they are exactly.

This scene- in which a pampered housecat beats the shit out of a digimon that has already digivolved and has energy attacks- implies that, were cats introduced to the Digital World, they would be invasive, species-destroying super predators like they are IRL. I hypothesize that this is what happened in our world, where cats were introduced to the Internet as Lol cats, dominating the Internet memetic ecosystem and preventing the formation of the Digital World seen in Digimon.

never lose hope. somewhere, a middle-aged, gender ambiguous person with an advanced degree in an esoteric field and a fiber arts hobby could be crashing out and pinning all their remaining mental health on getting obsessed with your otp. any day now, the most elegantly written 100k fanfic you have ever read is going to hit ao3. it could happen. it has happened.

idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes I’ll be reading a fic and it’ll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because they’ll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. It’s never the super specific stuff that they’d know other people are unaware of, it’s always the things that once you’ve known it for a while you forget it’s niche knowledge. It’s fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyone’s got their own specialties and they can’t help but write that into their work sometimes

…well this post sure took off

new ask game; what do you think my hobby, skillset or knowledge or any other details of me based off my writing

You right you right

Love when a DS9 episode is too serious and dramatic to have Quark in it but they're contractually obligated to pay him for the episode so Quark and Odo have one scene where they do a little vaudeville skit about the A plot. We interrupt this allegory for the Nuremburg trials to bring you Statler and Waldorf in space.

Something so funny about rereading one's own unfinished fics. Like wow this is pretty good! Almost as if was written exactly according to what I personally like in fact! Someone should finish it!

When I walk into the mall and see Christmas decorations up the day after Halloween, I feel the same way Hamlet did when his mom married his annoying uncle so shortly after his father’s death.

Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the Halloween Mars Bars/Did coldly furnish forth the Christmas stockings
