Fanfic is a great way to practice self-indulgence while writing. It doesn’t even have to be good, it just exists purely for your pleasure, be a little freak about it. Worry about quality and what other people think when it comes to works you intend to publish in a formal setting
Okay yeah sure but what if you consider AO3 to be a formal setting?
you show up to AO3 in a pressed suit, polished shoes, briefcase in hand, ready to keep minutes at the four hour discourse meeting.
I drag myself to AO3 in my sweats, no bra, hair up in a thing, hastily shod flip flops, looking for a cheap coffee and a sandwich.
boss pays us the same: 2 kudos each, and one unhinged commenter to share
