Also good to keep THIS SHIT in mind:

I mean, why stop there? Why not have her find out that she’s really adopted?

That would at least have explained why her parents are blonde, relatively fit, completely acne-free and glasses-free, while young Lucy is not. And why she tried so hard to be, contributing to a case of impostor syndrome which in turn contributed to her depression.

And it would also explain why two Conservative Christian parents gave their female child a middle name that is predominately used for men. Maybe it was her last name.

Imagine you have a coworker who likes to bake. Every week, they bring in a batch of delicious, homemade cookies and leave them in the break room. Next to the plate of cookies is a sign, “If you like my cookies, could you please just leave me a note and tell me what you like about them? The more feedback you leave about what you like, the more incentive I have to bake.” A hundred coworkers walk by and take a cookie. One person leaves a note. “Great cookies! Bake some more soon!”

The next week, once again there are cookies in the break room with the same sign. Once again a hundred people take a cookie and only one person leaves a note. “Nice! More soon!”

Week Three- Once again, a hundred people take a cookie. No one leaves a note.

Week Four- One hundred people take a cookie. No note.

Week Five- There are no cookies. Someone leaves a note. “Where are the cookies? I loved them. Please, please bake some cookies.”

Week Six- There are no cookies. Ten people leave notes. “I miss your cookies. They were my favorites. I loved the chocolate chips. My friend really liked the way you had almonds in the cranberry ones.”

Week Seven- Motivated by the wonderful notes, the baking coworker stays up late to bake the best batch of cookies they have ever made. That week, a hundred people take a cookie. No one leaves a note. 

The co-worker gives up baking for their colleagues.

Please, if you like the fan fiction that you are reading, let your authors know. Stories are abandoned for a myriad of reasons, but it is very, very hard to stay motivated when you receive no positive feedback. If there is a story that you like, whether it is a completed one or a work in progress, please leave an up-lifting comment or review. By doing so, you’re providing that writer with motivation to spend their time and energy creating more stories for you.

me: 2 chapters into a 200k fic

Are you ready for a series with multiple LGBTQ characters who all have nuanced storylines and don’t die at the end? Are you ready to be able to directly support a series made by, for, and about queer people? Are you ready to help fund six episodes’ worth of angst, snark, and gay?

Then you’re ready for BIFL.

BIFL is an LGBTQ comedy about expectations, different shades of intimacy, and what it really means to love someone; about blood family versus found family and how toxic relationships can both manifest and disguise themselves; and about a group of twenty-somethings trying their best. But most of all, it’s about me, and you, and all of us, and we think you’re really gonna dig it.

Head to our campaign page to check out the pitch-video-slash-trailer and learn more about the story and characters, and please consider donating in exchange for one (or several!) of our fantastic perks. The funds will go directly toward the production of this series, and you’ll forever have the satisfaction of knowing you helped make something awesome!

If you’re unable to do so but still want to support the project, you can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to stay updated on our progress.

BIFL is a love letter to femslash fandom, and we’d love for you all to help us make it happen.
