Reminder To Readers Of Fanfic Everywhere:

reminder to readers of fanfic everywhere:

writers see your fucking comments. we see what you say about our work. if you don’t have anything nice to fucking say, say nothing.

you’re getting free fucking content from people who owe you nothing.

shut the fuck up.

love,

gracie, a girl who’s sick of seeing hate comments on my work and my friend’s work

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

💙❤

goodnight :)

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.

One smile can hide a lot of pain.
