Fanfic Writers Are So Fucking Awesome In The Sense That They Can Take One Single Scene, That Lasts Less

fanfic writers are so fucking awesome in the sense that they can take one single scene, that lasts less than a minute, from the source material and turn that one single scene into a 40k word long fic with depth, feels, character study and development and create a whole storyline out of that one single canonical moment.

fanfic writers are so fucking awesome in the sense that they can take one single scene, that lasts less than a minute, from the source material and write 40 entirely different fics about that one single canonical moment and each one of those fics is a literal masterpiece.

i need a 4 hour video essay on the downfall of nanowrimo. its gone to shit and i need a comprehensive analysis of it all. the mods, the allegations, the AI, the sleazy partnerships, the staff walkouts, the forums. there's probably more

I like writing.

I like the process of writing. I like the mechanics of writing.

I like writing down words and picking what order that they should go in to best convey the meaning and images in my mind to the person reading them. I like thinking about the way a sentence sounds and the way it interacts with the other sentences around it. I like thinking about what words should repeat, and what words should stand alone, and what words should be swapped out with other words.

I like the actual writing part of writing!

me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesn’t even know I exist: I am obsessed with you

always love how when AO3 does not appear to he working, I go, “is it just me? let me go to tumblr” and go to the AO3 tag to find other ppl losing their mind as well.

the only thing that would be better would be if AO3 was like, actually working

This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.
