I'm Dorothea T. I write sci-fi, romance, and dark themes. Assume everything has a trigger warning. Stuff is NSFW, I block minors.

Writing discord?

Where can I go that accepts gay vampires?

[leecheedoodles]

Joining in on that ship dynamics meme hehe

[lexwritesgayshit]

Okay I need some new blogs to follow because most of the bloggers/wips I was following are sadly inactive. So reblog this post if you post about any of the following:

Gay shit (this is actually mandatory, I need gays to survive)

Urban fantasy

Witchessss

Vampires

Characters with realistic adhd/autism

Dark academia, but make it queer and poc

Also if you have a specific wip you want me to check out, please link to an intro post!

I write gay shit about vampires

There’s a big line between leaving constructive critique and blatant hate.

The author writes fluently but has a few minor spelling errors? Leave an encouraging message what you liked and offer to proofread in a private message. There’s no need to be rude and write a review like ‘you have spelling errors, it was a pain to read’ - do you know that over 50% of fanfic writers write in their second, third or even fourth language? English is not omnipresent. We’re not born with only English on our tongues. Be gentle.

The author has a fantastic story but hasn’t updated since weeks or months? Don’t pressure them. Especially don’t write things like ‘update now!’. Authors have real lives too. I remember an anon sending me a message for two weeks straight telling me things like ‘update’ ‘update now’ ‘why don’t you update’ ‘come on it’s over four days ago’ ‘I know you’re doing other stuff and this is by far your most interesting story so get around to update’ - what the anon didn’t know was that my grandpa died just the day after I uploaded. It was not a nice feeling to get pressure on top. You never know what has happened to the author. Real life can always intervene. Don’t push them. Realize that you patiently can wait a whole year for a famous author to publish a book with 90k words but you cannot wait a week or two for 5k from a fanfic author. Don’t be an ass. Write something like ‘This was such a great read! I especially liked xy. I would love if you’d add more, but don’t feel pressured.’ Be gentle.

The author doesn’t portray the person as you want it to be portrayed? Click away. There’s no need to spill your venom. As long as you don’t pay the author you don’t have any rights. Click. Away.

You don’t like how the story developed because you think xy would be better? Fine. Just click away.

You don’t like pairing xy to happen because you absolutely can’t stand it? Click away.

You see where this is leading? If your so-called critique exists only out of your personal preferences there’s no need to bash the author - because it is not critique, but hate. Click away. Write yourself or find someone who writes what you enjoy. There are tons of fanfics out there. Being an asshole only makes you look cheap and petty.

If you don’t have to say anything nice don’t say anything at all.

I think I may abandon this blog.

My heart hasn't been in writing for a while. My anxiety was triggered when people went off on it and now I don't know if i want to continue here on Tumblr. It seems like a toxic writing community and that's not great when you have anxiety.

Something that always disturbed me is that chimpanzees are depicted as having butt cracks in children's books but if you've ever seen a chimpanzee, you know that's the one thing they don't have THAT THEY REALLY NEED.
