Day 54. the demon inside (or about to be)

happy pride month!

this was inspired by @bardofavon’s kinktober fics. censored for tumblr but it’s hard to see irl anyways.

does anyone know if we have tomorrow tomorrow

[wizardarchetypes]

ohhh my fucking god AND tomorrow. it really does creep in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time—

I think the best you can really do is write earnestly.

It won't always be good. It won't always be exactly what you intended.

But if it's earnest, if you love it and you aren't ashamed to love it, you'll have written something you can be proud of.

happy Barely Keeping It Together Wednesday to all who celebrate

[bardofavon]

something about a fic having 200 bookmarks but only 80 of them are public asdfghjkl

[aropride]

(so mad i can’t see straight) Yeah i just don’t think chat gpt is a good classroom tool

[aphel1on]

never stop being obnoxious about fictional character online. you will find like-minded people and it will literally save you

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

this and also there’s something very beautiful about watching in progress fics grow. shout out to in progress fics <3

[bardofavon]

the best part about writing ahead on your current projects is knowing that you have a nice backlog of things to post. the worst part is when you write something and you want to post it NOW NOW NOW NOW but no one will see it for 5 months.

violence and death and dying and blood and guts and gore and violence and viscera and fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you

Here’s the thing: authors know when they get a rec on an older story. There’s a telltale uptick of kudos (with a 10-15% comment rate if you’re lucky) in your digest email.

The thing is, there’s no way to know where these people are coming from. In the before, when fandom was more in the corners we all knew about, you could search LJ or a message board or whatever social bookmarking site we were using. You could join the community and participate.

You could get a little dopamine hit by seeing someone tell their friends why they loved your story.

Anymore, those recs are hidden in discords, or in tiktoks or instagram slideshows that you can’t search for. They’re inaccessible, not discoverable unless you’re already there. You may never know why 27 people left kudos on an old story of yours, what they liked and found in your writing. You just get the thumbs up and a kinda lovely feeling, cause these could be your people. You could like them, maybe. You could be friends.

But you’ll never find out why they stopped by, or what people are saying about you begging your back, and that’s sad.

So thank you to the people who still do public red lists on this webbed site. You are my sunshine, and I’m appreciative of all of you.

we’re out here inventing ship tags no one else has ever dreamed of. going where no one before has dared to go.

[chaosshipsailor]

[bardofavon]

A writer's relationship with their own work goes: this is genius, this is garbage, this is genius, this is garbage, i should never have been born, okay actually this line is good
