writing isn’t hard. i just have to extract 80,000 words from my brain using sheer psychic force

[nondelphic]

writing is just sitting in front of a computer and making up problems for imaginary people while ignoring your own. fun and casual hobby.

Spideypool fic update when? 💔

Hi, I'm really sorry for the delay on the new chapter, just when I think my life is settling down something new pops up and tanks my mental health again. Between my injury and financial stress and family issues, my motivation has been in the toilet.

But I am working on the chapter, I promise! I am hoping to have it up in the next week or so, it is going to be really action heavy and I think you guys will like it!

Jesus should have appeared when Aziraphale summoned God with the New Book of Life.

He's God, isn't he? Part of the "triune godhead." Then we could have gotten a completely different version of the scene in the bookshop, one where Jesus defends the world he knows and the people he's met and the things he learned (in his short time back on Earth) about love and generosity and helping people become better people. 

Maybe Aziraphale and Crowley ask him to create a world without angels and demons. Maybe he says, but aren't they people too? Can't they learn about love, and generosity, and helping people become better people? Of course they can. Look at the two of you.

And we could have gotten a beautiful mirror to the end of Season 1, where Christ does the same exact thing as the Antichrist, where he doesn't destroy the world but puts it back just the way it was. Even slightly better. 

Because angels and demons should have a chance, too.

Also! If you have been wondering “why didn’t Crowley and Aziraphale disappear when the BoL was destroyed that seems like a pretty major plot element” don’t worry you’re not alone because at least one of the three writers also doesn’t know!

They’re not even trying to hide the bad writing. They are being very open about it actually which I think is interesting.

And before anybody comes for me— I don’t subscribe to the idea that public art isn’t subject to criticism. If a writer is going to play in fandom spaces like this and admit they don’t know what they were doing then that information is FAIR GAME and we SHOULD be critical of this. Never attack creators or cast or crew directly but miss me with the idea that we cannot be critical of very real and very openly shared issues

Chapters: 1/3 Fandom: Project Hail Mary (2026), Iron Lung (2026) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: The Convict | Simon (Iron Lung)/Ryland Grace Characters: Ryland Grace, The Convict | Simon (Iron Lung), Rocky (Project Hail Mary) Additional Tags: Canon-Typical Violence, Developing Relationship, The Convict | Simon Lives (Iron Lung), Ryland Grace Needs a Hug, both of these men are lonely but bad at expressing their feelings soooooo, POV Ryland Grace, POV The Convict | Simon (Iron Lung), POV Alternating Summary:

“Humans created from water, question?” Rocky asks, cutting Ryland off.

Ryland drags a hand through his hair, wishing for the dozenth time Rocky had some sort of facial expressions he could read. “Humans are 70% water-”

“No!” Rocky says, shuffling in the way he always does when he is frustrated at a communication issue. He sits for a second, tapping one of his feet against the sand, and then says, “Humans are born in ocean, question?”

“What? No, that’s-” And then Ryland stops, realizing while this information is obvious to him, it’s not to Rocky. It’s not like he’s had the birds and the bees talk about humans with Rocky yet. And hopefully will never have to. “No, Rocky, humans aren’t born in the ocean. Why are you asking about all this, anyway?”

“A human is in the ocean,” Rocky says, lifting his arm to gesture down the stretch of beach.

“What?”

or, Simon washes up on the shore of Erid and Ryland has to grapple with his own lonliness, Simon’s paranoia, and growing feelings he can’t quite find the words for.

I needed to write something other than my Spideypool fic so I didn’t get burnt out so have this! I promise I am still working on “all that glitters, might be gold” and the new chapter will be out in a week or so!

[geneticdriftwood]

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

I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.

Excerpt from the most recent chapter of my Spideypool fic, “all that glitters, might be gold!" 

[hychlorions]

generally you shouldn't write run-on sentences because they get confusing and it doesn't give the reader a break. that doesn't apply to me though my run-on sentences are fun and understandable and they have a rhythm to it that makes you want to keep reading

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Chapters: 8/12 Fandom: Deadpool - All Media Types, Marvel (Comics), Spider-Man - All Media Types Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Peter Parker/Wade Wilson Characters: Peter Parker, Wade Wilson Additional Tags: Spideypool - Freeform, Canon-Typical Violence, College | University Student Peter Parker, Awkward Flirting, Sugar Daddy Wade Wilson, comic book versions of characters, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Peter Parker Needs a Hug, and some cash, Other Additional Tags to Be Added, Eventual Smut, Team Red Shenanigans (Marvel) Summary:

“Just an interview would be good,” Peter said, clearing his throat. “I’m mostly a photographer, not sure I’ve got the interrogator qualifications.”

“Photographer, hmmm…well, I can definitely think of a few things you could take a picture of -” Deadpool started, then stopped, lenses narrowing. “Wait a flaming hot second. Peter Parker? Why does that name sound familiar?”

Peter tensed. Had someone figured out Spiderman’s secret identity and sicced a mercenary on him to try and catch him when he wasn’t in costume?

As Peter began to spiral, Deadpool glanced down at the newspaper in his lap, looking at the front page cover. He squinted, pulled the paper closer to his face, and then let out an auditory gasp.

“Holy shit balls, you’re the guy who takes all those hot pictures of Spiderman!”

“Excuse me?” Peter said, torn between relief and confusion.

*

or, Peter has to interview Deadpool, which quickly spirals into him being offered an obscene amount of money to sell Deadpool pictures of Spiderman. Between keeping up his secret identity, Deadpool’s flirting, and a growing mob threat, Peter quickly gets in over his head.

New chapter is up!

not now kitten. daddy's realizing that the scene he invested 1000 words into could be significantly improved but only if he started over from scratch

not my tweet or my fic (and there’s a good chance of this comment being a bot) but yeah, don’t do this. sure, some writers wouldn’t mind having fanfics (or direct continuation) of their fanfics written by someone else. some may even be thrilled and happy. but the fandom etiquette is that if you want to write a fanfic or a continuation of someone’s fanfic, YOU POLITELY ASK THE WRITER FOR THEIR PERMISSION. not their readers.

also 5 months isn’t long at all. 5 months is 5 minutes when it comes to fanfics. I’ve waited years for my favorite fics to get updated (one of my favorite fanfics was updated by the author after 13 years) and I’ve never said anything to them about “it’s been ___ years, I don’t think it will get updated anymore”. because another fandom / fanfic etiquette is that fanfic writers write for free in their free time, they don’t owe you anything. maybe they will update one day. maybe they won’t. if you want your favorite fic to get updated, you comment something like “this is good!! I’m excited for what happens next” and maybe your positive comment will motivate the author to update. but you don’t say “it’s been ___ months or years”. fanfics writers write for themselves and their own enjoyment. they’re just kind enough to let you read their works for free. stop being rude and entitled to fanfic writers.

[hellpotter]

it’s not weird to find fanfiction from 2021, or 2017, or 2014 that you’ve never read and actually taking your time to read it.

it’s not weird to love it and comment and leave kudos because the author will probably still see it someday and it will make them happy.

it’s not weird to like said author’s work so much that you want to go look for other fics from them.

it’s not weird to go through the authors profile and look for other fics from the ships you like (or maybe some that you’ll give a chance because you liked the author) and maybe bookmark them for later.

it’s not weird to read these other fics and like them too and comment on them because you actually like them and you want to let the author know.

it’s not weird to read fanfiction from 5, or 8, or 10 years ago and actually enjoy and engage with it because it’s perfectly normal to relate to something that’s less than a decade old!

let’s stop treating fanfiction like they’re instagram posts that stop being interesting in 24 hours! fanfiction is NOT social media, fanfiction is art!!! and art doesn’t get old in one day, one year, or even a decade!

read fanfiction! write fanfiction! comment on fanfiction! let’s not let fanculture die people!!!!!
