Interesting Discovery

So, turns out, if you want to reread/get back into a series you never finished, possibly because you want to use the information for your own writing, a good way to do that is read it like your OC is doing it with you.

Especially, say, that OC was designed for that specific universe.

Listen, I decided to go back and actually finish ATWQ (I read the first book a long time ago and then life happened so I'm doing it now) and while the books are obviously good and fun on their own, it is also super fun to look at Lemony's apprenticeship through the lens of his apprentice bugging the shit out of him about it (lovingly).

ppl on ao3 should use the "this work was inspired by" option more. so many fics out there that put links to other fics in the a/n but theres a better option.....

☝️ use this!!!!!!

[itsoverfeeling]

important addition i forgot that not everyone might know. similar to how ao3 bookmarks work, you can also link to non-ao3 fanworks using this format. so, for instance, if theres some fanart on tumblr that inspired you to write the fic? you can link that fanart to your fic!

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

romantic relationships blah blah blah okay but what about risking everything for your sibling. what about the unwavering love and care that can only come from a parent to a child. what about someone who just wants their best friend back. ever thought of that.

how living alone is going so far

OP, by all means use your free will, but... Why?

[bittersweetsoda]

Someone posts a joke at Lemony Snicket's expense.

"Leave him alone!" I exclaim as I'm actively writing a scene where he has to grapple with the idea that Beatrice Baudelaire might not have been a good person and the pedestal he put her on has actively blinded him to that.
