#splitterregen speaks for my original posts

#splitterregen comments also original posts, but more run-on-commentary compared to #splitterregen speaks

#my fanfic I'd say this one is self-explanatory (you can also go for more specific filtering with #fandom fanfic, or just head on over to AO3 directly)

#rambling about my fics musings, frustrations, pondering plot, WIPs, polls, and snippets (#snippet will have an additional tag)

Regarding writing, why I share my work, and why some works will be abandoned:

people annoy me so fucking much sometimes, like honestly, subscribing to a story without even leaving a kudos is really making me angry--I mean, at this point I know that most people are too lazy and too uncaring because they feel entitled to free work to leave a proper comment, or even just a nothing-comment like 'I liked this', but not even leaving a kudos is just a shitty thing to do. if you don't like the story, silently clicking away is obviously the way to go, but if you like a story enough to set up an alert for an update to the story, a kudos is really the bare fucking minimum

like, look at this

so far, three new subscriptions, a new bookmark--going by the timing, unrelated to the subscriptions--three kudos, all of them happened without any other change than to the hit count, and one comment that's not really even about the story since it's a simple 'I liked it' kind of comment, but at least this reader has enough interest to leave anything beyond an increasing hit count behind

note, that a comment counted doesn't mean it's a comment specifically on this chapter--I count interactions per time frame, so chapter 5, for example, shows every interaction within the week it was the latest chapter, so 4 comment threads doesn't mean chapter 5 got four comments, but that any comment left within this time frame was counted here

like, at least this is a comparatively small story because the ratios get even worse when it's more popular, but it's really bad enough, and it always makes me consider setting certain limits for myself when it comes to sharing fics

Because, the thing is, I have forgiven my younger sister a lot of things—not least among them her sincerely telling me to kms just a couple of months after my attempt to do just that as a teen—so I can’t help but stick to an interpretation that makes him more human than canon makes him out to be at that point in his development, and that’s also the reason I think he’s not encountering Tara when he’s underground but his own imagination of her—basically, a manifestation of guilt he always was able to shut out before, but can’t refuse once he’s trapped.

Chapter 6 is up, and old memories and habits have a tendency to come back if you lower your guard, but some things can't be helped.

“So, what kind of creed is it that you’re honoring by being here?” “We protect those who cannot protect themselves.” Scott is steady again, calm, because this conviction lies at the very center of his being. “I suppose that accounts for the unusual composition of your pack.” Crawford drags his gaze over the room, finding everyone not already seated at his table. “Humans and wolves always mix, but as far as I can tell, none of you are related. Most of yours is human—even a hunter I hold in high regard—but this kid”—he tilts his head toward Corey over at the bar—“and this one, too”—he indicates Theo with a tilt of his bottle—“are something else, something I’m not familiar with.” “They are mine, and that’s all you need to know.” “Easy there…” Argent is the very picture of composure, but everyone here is trained, so no one misses his posture shifting.
