Updated pinned post!
Figured it was time, the original one has just gotten too unwieldy to keep updated 😂 Also, I have some new shit on the go!
My links:
AO3 for all my fic - Patreon to support (but don't join right now, I'm on something of an unwilling writing hiatus) - Medium for original works
tumblrs: porn sideblog - personal sideblog
My main tags and warnings:
So you can search or filter as you need, details below the cut xx
So we all talk about being in fandoms for things that are charmingly bad, and being able to acknowledge that they’re charmingly bad. But of course some people are in fandoms for things that are Actually Amazing. There are people out there who write fanfiction for The Best Science Fiction Novel Of The Twentieth Century. Or who draw fanart exclusively of The Best Movie of All Time. And there are even more people who are in fandoms for things that are Actually Pretty Good, which is not quite amazing but is closer to it than to Charmingly Bad.
And sometimes, you have a string of fandoms that are Actually Pretty Good. And the danger of this—the very great danger—is that when you have a string of Actually Pretty Good and even Actually Amazing obsessions, you start to believe that maybe you have taste. Perhaps you are now immune to the indignities of losing it over something mostly bad.
And then it is shattering to discover that no, bad things can still stick a fork in your brain. 😔
So I understand why the “transformative fandom gathers around things that are not good because there being a problem makes people desire to fix it” model is popular. I even agree that it’s accurate in many if not most cases. However it is not what this post is about. Plenty of people do transformative and creative fandom activities for things that are very, very good. Simplified models do not encompass everything.
And frankly, it’s starting to really get on my nerves when people read “I think this thing is good. I wouldn’t change a thing about it and frankly I don’t even think there should be more canon added to it, but I am still going to write thousands of words of fic, make a cosplay, and draw fanart” and then completely misunderstand and respond with “yes I agree—I like things that are good too. But I never feel the transformative/creative fandom instinct for them because they are too good.”
Some people do not feel it. Other people do. Stop misreading me to avoid having to adjust your mental model of how fandom works.
one of the ways a Canon work can be fandom bait is by missing something that fans want to fix, i.e. "it's bad", but i think this is only one way out of multiple that something can be fandom bait.
compelling worldbuilding (invites interaction with the setting)
interesting gimmick (see: daemons, drift compatibility. subcategory of compelling worldbuilding)
shipping bait (duh)
original character bait (in-universe categories/factions and design elements that make it fun for people to create their own characters)
compelling narrative (invites interaction and tweaks to the storyline: AUs and fixits and so on)
basically anything that invites interaction and recombination. but fandom also has a sort of multiplying effect: the larger the interactive audience of fandom is, the more likely it is to generate ideas and works that draw in more participants. so:
network effect (the larger the established fandom, the more likely it has subfandoms and infrastructure that appeals to niche audiences)
Yes this exactly, thank you bless.
Things that have space to play in are fandom bait, but space to play in does not equal holes.
Oh no! One of your favourite characters has been whisked away to be a Wholesome, Morally Pure witch looking for their cat in the mountains! Who would suffer the most?
anon help, is this an idea for a poll, or are you just asking? ..Because there are many excellent character possibilities, but I think the most honest answer here to who would suffer most is "Me" 😂
So I've been thinking for awhile it could be silly fun to write a little smut fic using polls.. Like, I write a bit, everyone votes on what happens next, I write something with the winning option, make another poll for where it goes from there, and so on.
The problem is I'm not sure where to start, cause I know people follow me for different fandoms / ships / interests / etc.. Any thoughts? Or is it just a bad idea? 😂
Give a Stargate character a dubious superpower:
Jack: Invisibility, but only when he's hungry. Eating makes him reappear.
Teal'c: Can fly, but only a foot off the ground.
Janet: Freezing powers. Starts freezing patients a bit indiscriminately.
Jonas: Magical cook. Instantaneously whips up gourmet dishes.
Daniel: Super shrinking. He ends up in people's pockets a lot.
Sam: Super charm. This mostly leads to cats and dogs following her around.
John: Shapeshifting, but only into a parrot or a teenage girl.
Rodney: Can make objects appear at will, but only if he's nice to people.
Vala: Mind control, but instead of doing what she wants, people do the opposite.
Ronon: Super strength. He's already strong, keeps breaking things accidentally.
Maybourne: Telepathy but only on Jack. Mostly hears annoyed thoughts he enjoys.
Zelenka: Telekinesis but only on things made of fabric.
I just love it when video games let you do really stupid shit that kills you immediately. I love being like "oh this is a terrible idea" and being able to do it and then die. It's good game design.

A reminder that darker fiction has a right to exist and explore themes that people are uncomfortable with. Yes, even if it's romanticized. Yes, even if you personally don't like it.
Authors have always written about things that they don't agree with morally, and I hope to god they always will, despite how shitty people treat them for doing that now.
We go forward.

It’s the final few days of the Bluminarmour Project! After some issues with Kickstarter let’s see how far we can get!
If you want to see fantasy tropes, historical movement and silly tricks tested in authentic full plate armour, please consider chucking a few quid over (or like and share this post):
Blumineck is trying to fun a video series doing fun and serious historical and fantasy testing in fitted plate armour.
Update on this:
Kickstarter removed my highest funding tier so I lost £11k of funding since earlier today.
BUT
I’ve managed to get the deadline extended in light of this. So this might still happen!
every day
