Love Me

someone commented on a clip from a period drama with something like “is it just me or does anyone else have a hard time connecting with characters if they don’t exist in the modern day?” nah, wild thing to say. I actually have the opposite problem. I have a hard time consuming media set in the present day/past 20 years. a character will pull out an iPhone and text their love interest and I’ll feel disgust and secondhand embarrassment for reasons I cannot fully explain.

I love fanfiction. I love ao3. I love au. I love spending 12+ hours a day reading. I love people expressing themselves creatively. I love consuming those creations. I love staying awake til 3am to read another fic. I love one shots. I love long fics. I love ooc. I love it all. Thankful to live during a time that ao3 exists and I can spend my life reading fanfic.

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

actually writing the fic down
