Thank You So Much For This

Thank you so much for this 😭❤

To all the fic writers out there that are not currently writing. Either it's because of RL, health, writer's block or something has happened that have disheartened you. Thank you for what you've written, and don't ever feel pressured or stressed - fanfic should be something good for all of us; both reader and writer. You're more important than what you do, but thank you for what you've done!

HEY.

are you scrolling [tumblr] instead of sleeping?

idiot. clown. I cast sleepy spell on you. fuck you. sweet dreams ily

Kinda miserable about my cat but at least one funny thing happened today and that's something to hold onto.

I was on a post about how people with long fanfics planned them out. I mentioned mine was, 'really long' but not how long, before I talked about how I planned it.

And a dude came in to lecture me about

How

To

Write

A

Long

Fic

Me with a fic longer than the king james bible:

My methods wouldn't work, you see. I planned too much, I was overthinking. I needed more room for creative freedom or I'd run out of gas, I needed to let it flow and stop controlling it. I would never, he said, write a fic longer than 50k, and he would know, because he had written a fic that was a MASSIVE 110k.

And I'm sitting there with TRT's 840k wordcount behind my back like

So I let him get through the whole thing. And I go, "this was helpful, thank you! Do you have any advice to make this fic of mine any longer then? I'd love to catch up to your wordcount."

And then I posted a pic of TRT's wordcount.

I've never been blocked so fast. 💀

And thus I basically got to live out

Chloé Zhao, who just won an Oscar for best director, writes fanfiction.

That's the kind of validation I needed in my life. Thank you, ma'am.

Fictional Character: *is physically and mentally scarred, morally grey, old enough to be my dad and would kill someone without hesitation, possibly torture them as well*

Me: Ah, yes. Husband material.
