I love it when people take fic writing seriously. I love when it's not 'Here's this dumb thing I wrote' and instead it's 'Here's this thing I put blood, sweat and tears into. Here's this thing I slaved away at, trying new writing techniques and editing over and over. Here's this dialogue that kept me awake at night. Here's this beautiful turn of phrase I thought up. Here's this thing that I wrote with vulnerability and heart, and I am proud to share it with you.'
u know what, even if my writing isnt the BEST, i still made it all on my own. like there was a blank word doc and i filled it up with my own words, my own story. i took what was in my head and i made it a real thing. idk i feel like that alone is something to be proud of.
Nobody understands the bond between a girl and the mediocre book she read when she was 13 years old.

fanfiction is so unbelievably stupid you’ll be like oh i want to write about some finctional dudes and suddenly you’re knee deep in two hundred year old inheritance laws
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
So... I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about "life-changing writing advice" all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.
I'm going to try it.
writing is the most insane hobby it's like,
is it easy? no
is it fast? also no
but is it fun? well,
site that you can type in the definition of a word and get the word
site for when you can only remember part of a word/its definition
site that gives you words that rhyme with a word
site that gives you synonyms and antonyms
My first Destiel fic! In which Dean and Cas watch Indiana Jones and the movie inspires them to have their first kiss a la Indy and Marian. There is also hurt/comfort, angel healing and general fluffy sweetness. G rated, no smut. Oneshot, 3.5k.
can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.
looking for fics about your favorite character on ao3 be like:
dont care
dont care
dont care
what the actual fuck
dont care
ooh that sounds- what the fuck
unfinished
don't care
the best fic ive ever read in my life. this absolutely ruined me and ill never be the same ever again
dont care
Hanging Out - Part 7
I seem to have been reading a lot of fic recently where they are in between cases and just enjoying each other's company.
Apple Pie and Angel Eyes - destiel_brainrot Ao3
Set S12. Dean is bored, so takes Cas on a drive to have a picnic, so they can have some time together alone.
Word Count: 2k Non-Graphic Sex
Finally getting a break – Doreamon Ao3
Nonspecific timeframe. Instead of letting Cas heal him, Dean suggests they watch the Indy movies and then they inadvertently start to act out Indy and Marion’s first aid scene.
Word Count: 4k No Sex
Attached to the wrong word. – spandwiches Ao3
Nonspecific timeframe. A typo in a text message has Cas thinking Dean is having a costume party rather than a Super Bowl party.
Word Count: 3k Non-Graphic Sex
How do I look? – deanmikaelson Ao3
Set 15x20 didn’t happen. Since Cas became human he hasn’t worn the trenchcoat and when Dean sees it in their room one night, he can’t help but try it on.
Word Count: 2k No Sex
A Day at the Fair - inkdr0p Ao3
Nonspecific timeframe. Two couples take a day off hunting to go to a fair. Eileen is keen to go on the rides, but Dean and Cas head straight for the carnival food and games.
Word Count: 6k No Sex
