Me Writing The Kind Of Rhea Apollo Shit In Part 10 Of The Archer And The Knight That Creates Fan Art

me writing the kind of rhea apollo shit in part 10 of the archer and the knight that creates fan art in my head vs my absolute inability to draw anything let alone them in desi traditionals wearing mehendi with apollo feeding her by hand.

doing the same thing with music that gives the exact vibe of that particular scene

me, writing the archer and the knight series: so this is just a one-shot! a fun, happy, perpollo one shot.

me, writing part 10 today: so actually, this series has no end in sight. maybe I'll keep posting new installments for the rest of my life.

Funniest thing in the whole wide world is opening a completed fic and seeing the author’s note for the first chapter say something like “unlike my other fics, this will be a shorter one! Expect it to be complete within three months or so” and then you look at the stats and the fic is 100k+ words and took two years to finish

people always talk about leaving comments on ao3 like it's a nice thing to do, or the best way to encourage writers to keep writing, or overall like it's how you Do Your Part in fandom

and yeah, all those things are true, but having spent the past few months leaving enthusiastic comments on as many things as i can, i have a different perspective

you should leave comments on fics because it's fun

taking the time to stop and focus on what i like about a story has made me way more aware of what's going on in stories and what i like about them. there's bit more actual comprehension and appreciation and not just beaming content into my eyes to fill time

i like noticing cool little things in fics, or riffing on funny events. i've never been very good at speculating or picking apart characters, but sometimes something clicks and it rocks.

and of course it's pretty nice when you get a response and it's clear you've made another person happy

so yeah, you should leave comments for your own sake, too. it makes reading better!

yes there is something deeply wrong with me, but it's more fun that way.
