Do You Ever Read A Fanfic That Is Just So Good It Just Sticks With You Into Days Or Even Weeks After

Do you ever read a fanfic that is just so good it just sticks with you into days or even weeks after you’ve read it. Like you could be sitting in class or alone in your room and suddenly you’re just like, wow, that was a really good fanfic. Like it was really good.  

Making art is such a wonderful experience. Here are some of the thoughts I have while creating: • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA • I am an inadequate talentless being • this tiny unnoticeable mistake ruins the whole drawing • I tried to fix the mistake and I made everything worse • oh god what have I done • :^( • I am garbage and is so is this drawing • I am suffering™

Writing is zipping along through six pages in under an hour and then getting stuck on a single transition sentence for three weeks.

never considered myself mentally ill but i feel all of this everyday 

just little mentally ill things

being exhausted even after laying in bed and doing nothing all day

requiring an extensive amount of time to rest in between simple tasks because it takes a lot of energy out of you 

constantly feeling like you’re running a never-ending race while everyone else is ahead of you 

being categorized as “lazy” “oversensitive” “childish” and/or “crazy”

always worrying about your future and what’s going to happen to you

feeling like you’ll never be “normal” and capable of functioning like other people your age 

being misunderstood by everyone you come into contact with

unable to form close, healthy relationships with other people due to trust or abandonment issues

Fandom Fic Rec Days

The Fandom Fic Rec Days are back!

It is easy to make people look at art; all you need is a reblog. But when it comes to make people want to read fanfiction, it can get just a little more tricky.

To give writers more recognition, and to celebrate their stories, we’ve decided to organize the Fic Rec Days.

On February 10th, 11th, and 12th, you’re invited to rec your favourite fics, from the all time faves to the WIPs you’re currently enjoying.

How? In any way you want!

Create a post saying why people should read the fic!

Draw some fanart!

Create graphics/aesthetics!

Make a fic rec list!

Make a mix!

And so on.

Anything, really; there’s no way of rec’ing worth less than another.

This way, you will:

Promote writers’ fic, and maybe get them new readers.

Make their day, they will be super happy!

Maybe encourage them to write more (win-win!)

Any rules/extra information?

Tag your posts with #ficrecdays

Tag your fandom/ship.

You can always queue if you’re not available!

Readers, please consider leaving a comment on the fics you liked!

Above all else, have fun, make people happy (writers and new readers alike!)

Reblog to spread the word, and see you then! :D

Handy guide to writing asexual characters:

1. Have them have friends! The lonely asexual story is getting really old.

2. Introverted asexuals are cool, but why not have extroverted asexuals?

3. Asexual and Aromantic are not the same thing. Try giving your character a sexless romance.

4. Or have them have sex, that’s cool too! Remember. Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction, and does not mean the character is opposed to sex.

5. Asexuality varies. If you want your character to be a victim of sexual assault that’s fine, but don’t make this true about every asexual character. Some people don’t want sex and it has nothing to do with past sexual experiences.

6. No more sociopathic asexuals, okay?

7. Don’t paint your asexual character to be the essence of innocence. You can have your asexual swear. They can be rude, like to dance dirty, have crude humour, literally! Anything! Any! Other! Character! Can! Be!

8. Your ace character can be sex repulsed, but do not have that be the defining characteristic of your character. Give them personality.

9. Do not write an ace character just to have your protagonist *suffer* because they love them, but won’t satisfy them sexually. That’s gross.

10. If your whole point of having an asexual character is to have them meet “the one” and “cure” them of Asexuality, DO NOT WRITE AN ASEXUAL CHARACTER.
