Here we go again!! You can find my previous Trigun-themed fic rec lists here and here! I put a ♡ next to my fave of faves! Sorry that there aren't more detailed notes you'll just have to trust my tastes 🙈 Most of them are Vashwood, but there's some gen fics as well :D They're all rated G or T unless specified.

VASHWOOD

♡ Benediction by tenshinokorin

Counterintuitive by auroralightss

Hands Free by auroralightss

♡♡ honeysuckle red by beelzebby666 (rated E, skippable sex scenes) Beelio's notes: an absolute delight of a fic. I'm not much of an E rated long fics reader, but I got lured in by the pretty art and skippable sex scenes (I haven't skipped them because they're delightful and written in a way I vibe with a lot, but I thought having the option was so thoughtful!) and this is now one of the fics I've had the most fun reading in my whole life. I'm one chapter late but I know it's going to be a TREAT.

♡ like you imagined when you were young by haveloved

Heaven's Not Enough by DespiteWhatShouldBeOtherwise (rated M for violence)

Down River by KBstories

Entertaining Strangers by deludedfantasy (rated M for difficult themes)

♡ and we must wait by caffeinefire

you know i tell the truth (we are just the same) by haveloved

Today, I watched some booktube videos (I sometimes do this when I'm bored or whatever to get recs.) At least two of the videos I clicked on had a quote like this: "This book was like fanfiction! Badly written fanfiction."

This is an attitude I see popping up a lot. Fanfiction is lame! It's all sucky! And look, I understand the need for constructive criticism, don't get me wrong. But I also think that sometimes readers and even our fellow authors can forget that fanfiction is a hobby. Many writers do not have an editor! Some are new to writing; some are trying to write in a new language. Others write whenever they have the time, and some struggle to write at all. The point is that they all do what they do because they love a piece of media. They also don't get paid for what they do! They are giving you content for free! This is a gentle reminder to please be kind to your local fanfic author.

If you write fanfiction, you are amazing. That is true whether you've been writing for a day or years. It's true if you've written many things, a few, or only one piece. Even if you've only written a story in your mind, you are still a writer. You are still amazing. 

Thank you to everyone who spread kindness to me and others on this day! I can not speak for everyone, but I deal with insecurity and negative thoughts about my writing. (I know you are sick of hearing this). Getting your sweet messages really meant a lot to me.

So thank you to my dear author friends who help make our community what it is. You deserve all the praise in the world.

I haven’t been around a whole lot, except for Fire Emblem stuff.  And my energy level is pretty low (I’m seriously exhausted), so I’m not going to do a full-on tag post like previous years.  My apologies.

Nevertheless - today is, indeed, Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day (or FWAD)!  And I just want to recognize all of you who pour so much creative energy into fics for the fandoms I’ve been in.

My post from last year is here.  If you’re on that list, you are recognized, 1000%!  (And if you’re not, you are also recognized!)

Shoutout to a couple of people who weren’t on the list yet:

@lysissisyl - you do brilliant work, and I’m honored to call you a friend. 😁

@foretold - I swear I’ll start reading the Cinderella AU fic soon!!  It’s such a cute idea, and the FE community always needs more Dimimari.

Also, shoutout to my best friend @patricia-von-arundel, for her brilliant fics, and for being a comforting presence during some trying times over the last year.

Hello all!

Just wanted to give a shoutout to the amazing fic authors on Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day. 

Thank you all for giving me hours, no days of reading pleasure. You’ve made me laugh, cry, scared and sometimes mad as hell while following the paths you’ve lead our favorite characters on. No matter where we went or how it ended, it was always a wonderful journey.

I look forward to reading more of your amazing stories.

I’m sure I’ve missed some folks. A thousand apologies if I did. 

Thanks again for the amazing stories.

The story picks up about a week after the events in Frozen. The sisters are learning to be sisters and friends again. As well as what it means to be Queen and heir to the kingdom. WARNING: This story contains violence, blood and death. It also contains snow sisters and ice bros moments. Just even things out.

As a writer, I’d like to include within this day, a branch for Fanfic Reviewers Appreciation.

Without you guys, and your support/reviews/reblogs/fic reccing/flailing, the experience as a writer in this fandom wouldn’t be anything close to as great as it is.

You keep our muses well fed, and often give us the boosts we need to get through writers’ blocks and days when we’re maybe second guessing our writing abilities.

Yes, you probably already know it’s this time of the year again! A day to show your favourite writers that you truly appreciate what they do! Even though i’ll always try to do my best to show some lovin’ to the people creating those little universes where i can escape to when real life tends to, you know, suck. Without further ado, here are some of my personal faves!
