your ship goes canon
your favorite ao3 writer drops 100k of your ship + your favorite trope
when youre reading smut and youre positive you have their entire geometry figured out but then someone grabs a knees that shouldn be there
Fell down another plotting hole and now I have over 17k of worldbuilding for my "this isn't going to Become Something" silly little batfam crackfic idea-turned-full-AU, and even more points in my Aeon Timeline file.
Like, I cannot stress enough the extent to which this has Gotten Out Of Hand. This is a somewhat unprecedented level of sarcastic folder notes:
(also ignore the fact that I only have bio pages for 4 of the batkids. So far I've found a way of including all of them up to Damian in the AU. I just haven't gotten as far as writing anything for him, Steph or Cass yet, so they don't have dedicated folders yet either. Which ALSO means that this is all going to get even worse.)
...Did I mention I tripped into a whole side-tangent plotting out what the various Flashes are doing in the background, and will, inevitably, end up doing this for probably most of the other main JL as well? Honestly at this point I half wish I could just yeet this entire thing onto the internet and share it as it is, because at least that might exorcise it from my brain. ...But also. no.
the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

turns out, the summer my eldest is waiting for her A-Level results; in which I have to plan/source evidence for an educational tribunal for my youngest (so she isn't dumped in a school which will further traumatise her); when my 96 year old nana has a health scare and I need to plan time to visit even though it means leaving the kids alone for the first time; when I'm approaching the third anniversary of the last time I was able to visit my mother and the first since I functionally cut off my brother for being radicalised by the alt right; when transphobic laws are passing which will further threaten my daughter's safety, and a prolonged drought is threatening multiple heatwaves which endanger the health of myself and my kids because we have no functional access to a temperature controlled environment...
...It's not a great time to not have a counsellor any more, apparently.
Sorry if I'm just sharing random memes and other miscellanies for a little bit, folks. I think I finally found a level of stress which matches the prospect of quasi-homelessness, you know?

Sometimes you hear a song and a fic pops into your head full formed. This is a trap. The fic may be fully formed in your brain, but you still Have to write it down. This is an important step that most people forget about.
tfw you make the terrible mistake of reading an old oneshot and remember that you planned out essentially an entire companion piece's worth of story which never shows up on-page, and man, it's such a shame that readers don't know what's going on from an alternate pov, maybe I should wri-
STOP! That is the devil talking! No companion piece! No "second oneshot"!
Especially in my case, because literally no one cares about this. The fic has a total of 21 kudos and 300 hits because it's an BNHA/MHA early 1900s ocean liner wireless operator AU
...I think I just needed to get that off my chest. Sorry to the tiny handful of tododeku fans who actually read and enjoyed it, but I already can't keep up with my wips that people will read. And while I don't write specifically for attention, I feel like I am spoilt enough for projects right now, and I may as well pick the ones which offer a measure of gratification.
(though that said, if anyone actually DOES want to know the backstory to that particular fic, I'm happy to ramble about it here. I plotted out...entirely too much lore for that AU. Especially considering it was a gift fic for an event.)
the number 1 rule of fanfic is have fun and be yourself. the number 2 rule is the average healthy adult male can lose roughly 2 liters of blood before dying.
incredible prev tags
which of these things puts you off the most from a fic you otherwise would be interested in
no paragraph separation
creator chose not to use archive warnings
tags used as stream of consciousness text rather than clear and organizational
excessive notes
self-deprecating comments in tags and/or notes
a huge block of tags
not marked as complete yet
something in the kudos/comments/hits number or ratio (clarify in tags)
grammar issues
punctuation and capitalization issues
contradicting tags
other (clarify in tags)
Note: subjective reasons related to content do not apply in this scenario (such as ship preference, an au you don't like, a genre you're not into, etc.)
doing actual worldbuilding for a story that is 100% porn is the best thing. yes i know you're here to flick your shit. analyze my weapon design boy

Aw maaaan, there's nothing quite like that flavour of suck when you go back to catch up on the latest updates to a longfic you were really enjoying, only to see that the author added a tag for one of your Nope, I'm Outta Here tropes.
It's like...on the one hand, I already have so much emotional investment, and I want to know what happens next! But on the other...if I carry on reading I'm just going to get very annoyed and have a bad time.
Sadly, I know from experience that it's better to just walk away.
The thing Digimon Adventure had over modern isekais is that modern isekais are relatively comfy. Like. When Truck-kun takes you, you can be reasonably sure you'll land in a place where a familiar kind of civilization exists, and where everything will be explained to you pretty quickly.
Digimon Adventure was basically "My Second Life Reincarnated into a Murder World That Explains Nothing and Wants Me Fucking Dead. Now I shit in a bush and need to figure out if berries off of the angry smashing tree are edible. Join me on my quest to find someplace reasonably safe to sleep for the night."
