he’s beauty he’s grace…
My main problem as a writer is that I don’t write because “I have a story to tell”. I write because there are worlds I want to visit, ideas I want to explore, people I want to meet, conversations I want to hear, emotions that I want to express, and impossibilities I want to make real.
Which means that I still need a fucking plot.
Both of these things are True
Hey! It’s the 27th of November again, which means that Professor Layton and the Lost Future (or Unwound Future, hehe) is another year older.
Last year I posted this picture (which still holds the most notes of any original post of mine by almost 200), which I didn’t manage to finish in time for the date. I eventually completed it earlier this year.
Happy 11th birthday, you tear-jerker of a game!
no wonder they got along so well
Beware the Angry Cleric
After a long and arduous fight with a young dragon, we found ourselves at an abandoned hunting cabin and promptly decided to fall asleep without setting a watch.
DM: <Swashbuckler>, you wake up to the sound of something rummaging around underneath your bed.
Swashbuckler: Oh, shit. Ok everyone, wake up!
When we look, some planks of wood underneath the swashbuckler’s bed have disappeared, leading down into a dark tunnel.
Fighter: Should we… Do something about that?
Wizard: I don’t really want to.
Cleric (me): I mean, we need to keep an eye on it. Guess we need to set watches, then.
The rest of the party goes back to sleep, leaving my cleric alone on watch, until…
DM: <Cleric>, you hear the sound of something rustling behind you.
Me: I turn around and look under the bed.
DM: You see some of the wooden planks have disappeared there too.
Me: Okay. I yell “WHOEVER IS DOING THAT HAD BETTER STOP. I’M A CLERIC AND I’M PRETTY PISSED OFF.”
There’s a sound of dice rolling, and–
DM: You see the wooden planks get shoved back into place.
reasons why people don’t comment on fics
an incomplete list based on observations via this blog
enjoyed the fic but didn’t have anything to say
worried that a general “I love this!” wasn’t a good enough comment
not a native speaker of the author’s language
so overcome by emotions after reading that words were impossible
reading on a device where commenting is difficult
intended to come back later and didn’t
intends to come back later and hasn’t yet
doesn’t have an AO3 account (+ doesn’t know about the guest option or isn’t comfortable using it)
was going to say something but another reader already commented it
not enough mental/emotional energy to try to craft a ‘good enough’ comment
worry about bothering the author
shy / social anxiety
reading fic before bed and fall asleep
reading fic while sick and in a haze
interrupted while reading the fic and thought they finished it/commented but whoops!
didn’t like the fic / didn’t finish reading
Just to be clear, this was in no way meant to be a call-out post on readers. It was intended to explain to writers that there are dozens of reasons why people don’t/can’t comment. Writers tend to assume commenting is a binary: if you like the fic, you comment and if you don’t, you don’t. I wanted to show that there’s a lot more to it than that.
I myself especially not commenting when reading with my phone using data connection because I tend to comment very long but the moment I pressed send, it dissapears. Several times. Sometimes using wifi does that too. So for authors I loved, I’m sorry for not always commenting especially in ffn or ao3. I want to comment, but connectivity is an a-hole.
you can say that again!
if you relate to having an idea for a story for 4 to 8 years with almost zero progress towards actually writing it down, clap your hands
This post kicked down my door, came into my house and publicly shamed me in front of God, my mother, and my cat.
what if writers did streams like artists did
I think it was a Monty Python sketch that showed an author writing with a commentary like a sports commentator.
“And he’s started writing… no, he’s just written his name at the top of the page. He’s written ‘the’, a very strong opening, used in several of his books. Oh, no, he’s crossed it out again.”
“Ah, look, she’s opening the thesaurus again … perhaps she’s realized she used the same word six times in two paragraphs”
“Now that sentence is lovely, an excellent example of her style in - oh, no, she’s deleting it, never mind”
“This scene is clearly over, yet the brave author forges onward regardless…”
“She’s really picking up steam now, the words just flowing out from her - she’s stopped midsentence for some reason and is opening Buzzfeed”
“Choosing to google ‘which countries are nonextradition countries’ is a risk but it’s one some authors must take…”
Coming into a fandom late
Coming into a fandom early and watching it become an angry clusterfuck
Being in a dormant fandom that suddenly comes alive again after a new book/movie
Don’t forget about those who come in the midst of a fandom war.
Accuracy at its best
Being in a fandom and not even knowing there’s a war going on…
all of this shit…lol
When You’re Not In The Fandom But You’re Nosy AF
When you get into a fandom only to discover it’s dead
This gets better every time I see it.
@fuboos-mess
Being in a dead fandom…
Or being in such a tiny fandom that it feels like youre the only one
The accuracy hurts.
Being in a fandom that had a shit ending.
When you’ve been fangirling long enough, you’ve experienced all of the above.
Being in a fandom meant for kids.
This just gets better..
@mi-kleos
When you realize that joining the fandom has ruined you
Fandom hell in general
Yes.
This^^^ just… ALL OF THIS.
Being in so many fandoms that you don’t even know what’s going on
