Welcoem To My Fuck House

Not going to be diplomatic but kind of mean with my addition here. But I also think you’re a bad writer if you do this. Because either your fic sucked as a fic or your book will suck as a book, because a good fic is so intrinsic with canon details and remixes and interpretations of the source material, that readers are so excited to read it because it feels like the characters/universe they first fell in love with. If your fic-turned-book can easily be stripped of those nuances, it fails as a good fic. Maybe it was highly readable but it wasn’t good. But, then, if your fic-turned-book cannot be easily stripped of those nuances, it fails as a good book because it’s no longer readable. I have read myself* exactly one fic-turned-book where I had also read the fic version, and one of the highly emotional moments in the narrative fell completely flat in the book because all of the original source material had been stripped away.

Additionally, I think you’re a sell out loser grifter if you are using your time spent in fandom to sell something. Either by turning a fic into a trad pub novel or by mentioning that you are a fanfic author.

She has frills and stuff

thinking about how dee was emotionally abused by both her parents growing up and how she couldn’t even escape at school because she was ruthlessly bullied by her peers and how in college she wanted to be just like her roommate and ended up forcibly institutionalized because she set her on fire and how her only friends constantly berate and exclude her and how all she’s ever had is hope and how that hope is running out as she gets older and how she’s cripplingly lonely and tried on wedding dresses every week for a year and how she’s never had a fulfilling relationship but constantly seeks male validation and how she lies to her therapist for the praise she so desperately craves but never receives and how she forces herself to do standup in the hopes of making her dreams come true and how she’s canonically attempted suicide and just how she’s completely and totally isolated in her sadness, in all of this, and how she has too much pride to ever let someone help her so this is the life she’ll always have
