work tomorrow is one of the worst things that can happen to you

I am so thankful that books & reading exist

writers really will spend twenty minutes pacing around the kitchen thinking “this scene is genius” and then sit down to type and suddenly remember approximately three words and one emotional vibe

I <3 ambiguity. don't answer my questions. leave readers unsatisfied with the details because the inexplicable creates wonder. I <3 refusing to explain things as a rhetorical mode

honestly sometimes there's no better feeling than rereading a fic you've written and coming out of it going, "yeah that actually this DOES slap. exactly what i wanted to read. fucking nailed it."

i know i say this often but i cannot say it loud enough: people who comment on fics, people who reblog posts and engage with fanworks are the people who generate community and without them fandom would be nowhere, so truly thank you for your presence, you make the world go 'round <3
