honestly? abandoned/on indefinite hiatus/very slow to update fics, even and especially AUs and longfics, are often some of my absolute favorites. and people who refuse to read them are missing out!

for one, stories don’t have to be finished to be enjoyable and worth reading. but also? an unfinished fic is a whole little universe that just keeps on existing in my head! their world stays alive for me in a way that doesn’t always happen with fics I binge read and finish, and i love it. i don’t know how their story ends, so it just keeps going! and even when those stories DO update and finish years later, they’ve been in my head for so long that they stick around like old friends.

so to any author with unfinished works: thank you SO much for sharing what you had without waiting to finish it first. you’re just giving me the gift of getting to spend more time with your story and your idea. if you do update again someday, i’ll be delighted to jump back in! but if you don’t, just know a little piece of your world still lives on in a beloved tiny terrarium in my brain. i promise i’m taking good care of it :)

i don’t normally ask this, but if this resonates with you please reblog it, so it can reach the authors who need to hear it <3

if you want me to consume a new media you MUST catch me at the exact moment when the stars are aligned and the air pressure is equal to the current degree of the sun’s peak against the horizon and all the cosmic energies are perfectly unified (aka my old interest is fading out) or i will nod and say “im adding that to my list!” Knowing theres no chance i will check it out

“unless its a book!” “unless you tell me it has gay people in it!” “this but only for live action shows” “theres a good chance i’ll get to it eventually” no wrong this post is not for you this post is ONLY for bitches who could have a treasured friend recommend them something that sounds grown in a lab to be your personal catnip and, with no choice in the matter, immediately know it will never be the right time to watch/read/listen to it

#i will only watch shows in the waning days of my current hyperfixation #and even then it will be once in a blue moon #i am too old and set in my ways to want to add yet another hyperfixation to my list

Scooby Doo has great life lessons to teach:

If something evil is happening, it’s probably an old white man trying to make money.

Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.

And!

“If you’re breaking dialogue up with an action tag”—she waves her hands back and forth—”the dashes go outside the quotation marks.”

Thank you

Oh my god thank you. No wonder grammarly keeps complaining about my punctuation when I boot my writing up into word counter

No, you see, I wish to be an author. Not in marketing. Or an influencer. I wish to tell my stories, be told I did a fantastic job, and then go back to my hovel to scribble some more. I am delicate of constitution and awkward in crowds.

I think it's beautiful that yes, Hinata is not Naruto's love at first sight but in this particular scene, it's obvious that he'll love her right away. If you really read the entire manga, Hinata always makes him feel peace; the one emotion he needs the most because of his goals. His mind and heart were always thinking about his goals the entire time and whenever he sees Hinata, there is a sense of tranquility which puts his heart at ease (will show them on my next post). A soulmate should always cause your entire being to feel serene.

The seven deadly sins are all about your relationship to others. The sin of sloth isn't just laziness, it's the sin of refusing to act while others labour or need help. The sin of gluttony isn't just about overconsumption, it's overconsumption while others go without. The sin of lust isn't just about being horny, it's about negatively impacting others with your refusal to keep it in your pants. The sin of greed isn't just a desire for wealth, it's a desire for wealth at others' expense. The son of envy isn't just wanting others' stuff, it's a willingness to make it their problem. Sinful wrath isn't just being angry, it's about unjustified violent attitudes toward others, and sinful pride isn't just self-assuredness, it's a refusal to treat others well because you see them as less than yourself.

You'll probably note that one is far more likely and has far more opportunity to commit these sins if one is wealthy and/or powerful. The wealthy and powerful like you to forget that their seventh mega yacht while their employees scrape by on food stamps is far more likely a cardinal sin than anything you could possibly do

the number 1 rule of fanfic is have fun and be yourself. the number 2 rule is the average healthy adult male can lose roughly 2 liters of blood before dying.
