WIP Wednesday Snippet!

Ah, it's been so long since I opened my Google Docs. The work has been draining me—as if it is not the consequence of me deliberately choosing a work that will challenge me to get out of my comfort zone!—but the end of the month is pretty peaceful, so I am writing here and there! This is a snippet of my Dragon!LWJ and HumanSacrifice!WWX, a mix of comedy, fluff, and some angst!

“Human sacrifices serve no purpose,” Lan Wangji states. Wei Wuxian frowns. “I’m a vegetarian.” Wei Wuxian blinks. A vegetarian. A vegetarian dragon. Wei Wuxian has been thrown into a dragon cave as a human sacrifice for a vegetarian dragon. (Heaven, what is this!) “What?” (There’s still a possibility that he’s cracked his skull open and his brain is a shapeless mass scattered on the rock.) “I do not consume meat,” Lan Wangji clarifies. Wei Wuxian knows what a vegetarian is! “I informed the emperor: no human sacrifices,” Lan Wangji adds. After a moment, he appears to be considering something. “It is possible that emperor has passed. With the span of a human life, keeping track isf menacing. Nevertheless, it is an oversight on the human part,” he finishes imperiously. Wei Wuxian can only stare at him in bewilderment. That sounds…plausible. Horribly plausible. (Damn him and those stupid incompetent governemnt officials!) “What happened to the previous sacrifices?” He wonders. “Perished,” Lan Wangji answers easily. “Perished?” He echoes. “Mm. They yelled at my face and hid. Unbecoming. I assume they starved to death.” The way he says it…like he’s discussing the weather! These people were thrown into a dragon’s lair, of course, they yelled and hid upon seeing a gigantic predator! Wei Wuxian shudders. He’s endured his fair share of starvation in his life; it’s a horrible way to die. In a rare act of self-preservation, Wei Wuxian remains silent.

How Dare You!? + Text posts Part 1 (part 2)

Not sure why it's a new trend among fic readers to assume if the fic has not been posted within the week it's inappropriate to comment on it, like the fic has to be hot out of the oven to give feedback for.

I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.

Just comment on the fic. Doesn't matter how old it is.

Fandom is not social media.

Fandom is not trends.

Fandom is a cross between a library and having a slumber party with your friends.

"Old" means nothing to fic.

by: astutearies.

After the events at the Mo Manor, Wei Wuxian seeks purpose for his newly-gifted life in becoming a rogue cultivator. Still dead to the cultivation world, disguised from old affections and acquaintances in a new appearance and mannerism, he travels the world, fighting monsters, solving cases, inventing talismans…and, somehow—do not ask him, he’s the most baffled by it all—becoming a father to children whose fates happen to intertwine with his. Amid this blissful chaos, he reconciles with past grievances, retraces old paths which the Heavens did not permit him to walk in his first life, and reacquaints himself with golden eyes, the laughter of a raddish-boy, purple lightning, and golden-clad youth.

Or, a Post-Mo Manor, Rogue Cultivator AU! where Wei Wuxian remains "dead" for a bit longer, relishing the world in Mo Xuanyu's body.

there are fanfic writers who are: "I want to write about this prompt but other people have already done it before, unfortunately. I would have loved to write it 😢"

and then there's me who unapologetically writes about the same prompt, same trope (that has absolutely been written by other people before), same ship — in slightly different ways, at least 200 times in across 200 different fics of mine.

you 🫵. make a self-indulgent au now

jackabbot

i know i say this often but i cannot say it loud enough: people who comment on fics, people who reblog posts and engage with fanworks are the people who generate community and without them fandom would be nowhere, so truly thank you for your presence, you make the world go 'round <3

honestly sometimes there's no better feeling than rereading a fic you've written and coming out of it going, "yeah that actually this DOES slap. exactly what i wanted to read. fucking nailed it."
