Art To The Amazing Fic By @numinous-scribe "I Wonder What Could Lie Beyond Infinity", Read It, It'll

Art to the amazing fic by @numinous-scribe "I wonder what could lie beyond infinity", read it, it'll punch you in a gut but, like, gently.

We're both part of the Ghouls and Gangs Bang ( @dpxdcbigbang ), check out other works because both writers and artists did amazing jobs, and their works are really varied when it comes to vibes, length and characters used from both universes

Spoilers to the ending of Scribe's fic under the cut, read before proceeding

I'm not crying, you're crying

Something that helps

If you blurt out something that you thought would be funny but it comes across as insensitive, just quickly say, “I’m sorry, that was rude, what I meant was…”

If you say something in anger or frustration, take a breath and say, “I’m sorry, that was hurtful, let me rephrase…”

If you say something heartfelt, but it comes across as insincere or ironic, say “That sounds like I’m just saying it, but I’m being truly honest…”

If you accidentally tell the waiter “enjoy your meal” just laugh and say a quick “so sorry, my brain isn’t working today!” and you will most likely get a commiserating chuckle in return.

Most of the time, the other person will accept your apology with no harm done. Sometimes they even insist they understood what you meant the first time and clarification was not needed. At times, maybe they have a right to be upset, but it never hurts to apologize again so they know that you’re taking their feelings into account.

Repeat after me. It’s okay to be bad at conversation. Knowing how to apologize makes it easier.

Summary:

M'gann was having an amazing day. She met with her civilian friends, drank an amazing smoothie, saw a cute dog. For a few hours, she didn't have to think about problems that took more than 20 minutes to solve. For a few hours, she could just be Megan.

And then there was a scream of a woman, mother, who thought too loud and faded too fast and M'gann wasn't enough to save her and it made her whole world come crashing down

And then Danny found her, with a soft smile and patient voice. He kneeled beside her to pick up the pieces.

And shards cut them both in the process.

Enormous thanks to @clockworkclownart for amazing art and @dpxdcbigbang for organizing this event. I don't think I'd have the courage to actually write it if it wasn't for them

Summary:

It's hard to juggle responsibilities sometimes. Being Clark Kent can be just as stressful as being Superman, and it doesn't get any easier when he takes it upon himself to mentor a kid named Danny with strange new powers and unknown triggers. If he can figure out how to be a Kryptonian, surely he can help Danny figure out how to be a halfa… Right?

At long last, posting week has arrived for @dpxdcbigbang! Big thanks to the mods and my artist @wandixx. I'm very excited to present my entry! Enjoy!

Fanfic tiktok is wild... I see so many people saying shit like "I could never read anything below 60k!!", or "What story can you even tell in under 5k words?" or "A oneshot below 10k isn't even a story!" or "I always filter completed fics by 100k< only!"

And I'm like...

A) which fandoms are you reading fics for where you have this kind of offerings on the regular?

B) have you heard of short stories? If you truly think every story NEEDS to be longform to connect with people, I sincerely feel sorry for you.

C) Average novel length is between 50k to 100k. I'm sorry, but CONSISTENTLY demanding fic writers to push out fics of that length is insane. Just think about it: YOU DEMAND AUTHORS TO PUT OUT FICS THAT COMPARE TO COMMERCIAL NOVELS IN LENGTH (AND QUALITY) AS A BASELINE.

Yall are wilding.
