My Mistake Is Always In Thinking I'll Be Able To Stop Myself At A Reasonable Point Of Tiredness, Go To

My mistake is always in thinking I'll be able to stop myself at a reasonable point of tiredness, go to sleep, and continue the next day.

The lie detector test determined (over and over and over again)... that was a lie.

Also, while I'm here, to every reader, please please please comment (if you don't usually). What takes you one exhausted night to read can take an author months or even years to labour into the world, and we are SO FUCKING NEEDY FOR VALIDATION. A single comment. A single “I loved this!” Or, even if you didn't, a “thanks for sharing!”

That's where the crack is for us.

I just knocked back a 70k wincest fic over the course of an evening. You know what else is 70k words? The fucking novel on my desk I've been wanting to read for weeks that makes me go "ohh no that's a lotta pages :(" every time i look at it

Fic Reader Poll: Text Messages

Okay, another poll for y'all. I'm writing a fic with a lot of text message exchanges between two characters (details below poll).

As a reader, do you prefer that the text messages are written with the same proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar (SPAG) as the rest of the fic? Or do you prefer to see the writer's interpretation of a character's 'voice' with a realistic texting style, e.g. typos, abbreviations, missing SPAG?

Please don't just vote based on your headcanon for how your blorbos would text. Vote based on what you find most enjoyable to read.

For reference, and if anyone would like to share their opinion with me about my specific situation, the characters are a semi-AU Sam and Dean Winchester (they're not brothers but they're still hunters in the SPN universe). I headcanon Dean as being fairly loose with his texting, rapid-fire short messages, not bothered with much more SPAG than autocorrect does for him. He'll correct a typo if he notices it. For Sam, I see him as a step above that, longer single messages, proper capitalisation and more punctuation, but not fussed with perfection.

So that's how I've been writing it so far. But having said all that, I don't want the reader to struggle to actually read these exchanges, especially since there are many of them. Conundrum. 🤔

Feel free to reblog (it would be appreciated for a larger opinion pool!) in any fandom/pairing, as it's not fandom-specific, just reader-specific. For writers who also read, please consider what you prefer to read, not what you prefer to write (assuming those aren't the same).

Thanks for any input, all! 💖

Rule one of fandom: there are some things that only exist for us.

Don’t send actors fics

Don’t give them explicit art ever

Don’t tag them in rpf questions or theories

Don’t try to bring them into fandom drama of any kind

Don’t hold them responsible for what the producers and writers decide

They’re still people.  They have private lives, which do not include fandom.

drew a new one so i guess i'm posting this instead getting my arts back online (also tumblr doesn't allow me to post too much since last time i was dumpling my art... so water testing it is😅)

I've started this portrait in April; this was long time coming.

Ok so... many lubes are water-based. So, could a person make holy water-based lube? And if they could...

Imagine Dean and bloodfreak!Sam using holy water-based lube because it gives Sammy a spicy tingle that makes things better.

Imagine demon!Dean and Sam using it because Dean finally gets why Sam loved it so much back in his bloodsucking days.

Imagine all the fun those two freaky brotherfuckers could have with it.

Mwahahahahaaaaa! YES!
