A Bell Went Off In My Head...

Me: *agonizing over whether a semicolon goes here, what the proper dialogue should be there, other assorted rules and semantics*

mockingjay everlark is sooo messy (and i love them for it). because what do you mean peeta asked katniss who she liked kissing more (him or gale) and she responds with a cheeky 'both, depending on the mood.'

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

I'd also like to point out in The Great Beta Resurgence of 2026 that the writing software Ellipsus has a collaboration feature including comments and drafts. If you were using Google Docs for it, try that software out--it's not only no AI, but it's anti AI, very aggressively, and still in active development

Manacles Press’s Fanzines are Moving to the AO3!

it's important to pause and remember sometimes that the story is more important than the word count

i don't think we talk enough about how peeta went into THE WOODS to find the primrose plants at the end of mockingjay.

i truly believe that had katniss and peeta been mentors, katniss would have shut herself into their room on the train and refused to come out until peeta convinces her to. and even then, distancing herself from the children for the first week.

Hi! I'm looking for some fanfics in the POV of Mrs. Everdeen. I tried searching online but I cant really seem to find any. I'm not really looking for anything in particular. I just think it would be really cool to see how the games were from her perspective. Thank you!

Happy Birthday Katniss Everdeen!

I got 60 out of 1000 😂

with some of these it’s like “fuck, I did read that,” and with some it’s like “Oh fuck, I did read that.”

179, an astonishing number legitimately thanks to high school.

chump numbers

232. Entirely due to the fact that my mother was a teacher I would get books ad infinitum for birthdays or whatever for years. I grew up pre-internet and pre-screens so books and in particular anthologies were very much a thing on road trips and traveling. I also worked at a library for a time again pre-internet so I read a bunch of these as they came in because I could. Finally I really got into science fiction and fantasy and anime and read my fair share of Stephen King (which this list was massively biased toward). Plus my high school had so many of these books like probably a solid 75 of them as required reading throughout my time there. I also read a bunch of these in my Spanish literature courses that I took in college the fact that the professor for that course was from Chile meant we read a lot of Allende. And I absolutely read The Joy of cooking multiple times as enjoyment. I own the book and it’s something I will go to regularly. Also I counted a bunch of these as I started the book hated it did my requisite red first 10 chapters and then said “nope” and got the fuck out… I am looking at you Cassandra Clare and Stephanie Meyer.
