"The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise Of Electro" (2014, dir. Mark Webb)

As I write, I am slowly discovering that one character's tragic sorrowful angst is another character's not so hidden pleasure. With one eye-wrinkling smile they have mentally handed their partner a spun glass thought that looks like candy floss on a stick and are silently but gleefully telling them to eat the shards and cry.

Who is this person I created and how? The dark side of my heart is a little scary....

what do you mean i have to write my own fic for the stuff in my head to become tangible? Can I not just think of bits and pieces and an overall vibe + vague plot and then stare at an empty google doc super hard for ten seconds and have the entire thing be transferred there, all the blanks filled in? this is outrageous.

@withahappyrefrain when I see this quote it reminds me of your Jake/Venus fiction and how much I enjoyed it. (The image is so Jake from the moment Venus scolded his parking). Isn't it amazing that the little world you created for them continues to cast its spell?! Such is the power of art!

You're welcome for the mention; I always love seeing what you're "cooking" up with your characters! My first love will always be tasm!peter, but I don't consider it cheating to have Matt Murdock as my um sidepiece. (I do feel kinda guilty saying that) Shhh. I'm blaming all the great writers out there. Which is why I reblog, so others can discover them too!

Wednesday Reblog Reminder

Anyone else orbit around their favorite fanfic author's blogs waiting for a new story, an update notification to a series, a blurb, a headcannon, etc?

I sure do! I love to see what the talented writers and artists across Tumblr are creating and reblogs are a great way to spread that love! Reblogs also introduce material, new and old, to users that may have missed it the first time or not be aware of its existence. This month alone, I have been reading fics in a fandom I'd never really been engaged with until a favorite author released a story in that different fandom, a mutual reblogged it with a few comments, and I gave it a try. It was awesome! Reblogging also gives others multiple fics from which to choose while they wait for chapter updates from their ongoing favorite authors because Tumblr writers are busy people! So please: REBLOG! It creates additional favorite authors!

Below is a shoutout/acknowledgement/encouragement no pressure tag for just some of the many authors I regularly enjoy/follow in several fandoms (*many of these write for the 18+ crowd so please read their bio to make sure you are not violating their consent if you are not 18).

Give them a try! Reblog if you read and enjoy one of their fics. Hopefully the authors will also reblog and spread the love across Tumblr. Reblogging is the fuel for the Tumblr engine!
