to the debate about whether writing fanfiction makes you a better writer or not, I’d like to add: who gives a shit? all that matters is if you’re having a hell of a time

mutual pining fanfic is the best fanfic simply because it requires the characters to be at their most romantic and the height of their stupidity at all times

drafthearse:

my toxic trait is as soon as i watch a movie or read a book i do have to go on ao3 to see what’s out there. not to read fic but just to observe the types of freaks that exist in the world

there are three kinds of fanfic:

1. i can fix it
2. i can make it worse
3. horny

4. completely original novel with original characters that just happen to look like and have the same names as the characters in this piece of popular media, but otherwise have completely different personalities and backstories.

krytella:

Unfamiliar author: wow I loved this!

Author you’ve interacted with before: you killed me, I’m dead

Author who’s your friend: I hate you

Replying to comments on your fic like

unfamiliar commenter: Thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked it!

commenter you’ve seen before: Let me grab my shovel and help you into your grave.

commenter who’s your friend: HAHA BITCH I WARNED YOU

It’s been slow going recently, but at least it’s something.

rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between “damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)” and “damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)”

I am also “damn, girl, you wrote this? (forgetful)”
