This Artist Drew Disney Princesses As Armored Warriors And It Looks Damn Cool

[theferryberry-deactivated201811]

Since the writers decided to turn Quinn’s life into a soap opera anyway, I’m not sure why they didn’t just disregard that (almost) everyone hated the Lucy thing (like usual) and go the full ten yards with it.

I mean, why stop there? Why not have her find out that she’s really adopted?

That would at least have explained why her parents are blonde, relatively fit, completely acne-free and glasses-free, while young Lucy is not. And why she tried so hard to be, contributing to a case of impostor syndrome which in turn contributed to her depression.

And it would also explain why two Conservative Christian parents gave their female child a middle name that is predominately used for men. Maybe it was her last name.

But then, actually justifying your retcon is for amateurs. It’s better just to ignore that you ever did it.

Fan fiction reviews

Imagine you have a coworker who likes to bake. Every week, they bring in a batch of delicious, homemade cookies and leave them in the break room. Next to the plate of cookies is a sign, “If you like my cookies, could you please just leave me a note and tell me what you like about them? The more feedback you leave about what you like, the more incentive I have to bake.” A hundred coworkers walk by and take a cookie. One person leaves a note. “Great cookies! Bake some more soon!”

The next week, once again there are cookies in the break room with the same sign. Once again a hundred people take a cookie and only one person leaves a note. “Nice! More soon!”

Week Three- Once again, a hundred people take a cookie. No one leaves a note.

Week Four- One hundred people take a cookie. No note.

Week Five- There are no cookies. Someone leaves a note. “Where are the cookies? I loved them. Please, please bake some cookies.”

Week Six- There are no cookies. Ten people leave notes. “I miss your cookies. They were my favorites. I loved the chocolate chips. My friend really liked the way you had almonds in the cranberry ones.”

Week Seven- Motivated by the wonderful notes, the baking coworker stays up late to bake the best batch of cookies they have ever made. That week, a hundred people take a cookie. No one leaves a note. 

The co-worker gives up baking for their colleagues.

Please, if you like the fan fiction that you are reading, let your authors know. Stories are abandoned for a myriad of reasons, but it is very, very hard to stay motivated when you receive no positive feedback. If there is a story that you like, whether it is a completed one or a work in progress, please leave an up-lifting comment or review. By doing so, you’re providing that writer with motivation to spend their time and energy creating more stories for you.

And that way, you both win!

[tenshinokorin]

We got more feedback the year we took our website offline than at any other point in our 15 years of writing fanfic before that. So we put the archive back up. And all the feedback vanished again. Disheartening, but at that point, unsurprising.

Support your writers, your artists, your content creators: the people who spend time making things and sharing them for free so fandom can be nicer and a richer place for everybody.

[devidakk]

Okay… You knocked some sense into me. And I’m honestly surprised because of it. I’ll try to write more revives.

[helly-watermelonsmellinfellon]

This is the cause of a lot of unfinished fic. FFN has a page to show you your stats and you’ll have like 60K readers for chapter 1 and then chapter 2 will have only 17K readers. And the list of readers shortens as the chapters go on, until your in only triple digits and are getting maybe 5 reviews a chapter. It’s disheartening.

[vankoya]

That last reblog about the chapters is super true. Please, if you love the whole series, don’t just like/reblog/comment on only the first chapter. When we notice that the feedback has depleted on the chapters beyond the first, we assume it’s because people aren’t enjoying the direction of the story and/or they’ve stopped reading the story. And hey, that might be true for some. But future chapters receiving a whole lot less feedback than the first has become too common to solely blame it on that.

So please, if you enjoy the next chapter, let us know. Whether that be through a like, a reblog, or a message. It’ll make us more motivated and invested in writing the following chapter, and it can potentially save the story that you enjoy reading from being added to the “discontinued” pile!! ✊🏻✨

[daemonrider]

SO true. In fact, if I get ONE positive, encouraging review on my unfinished fic on FFN, I promise I will pick it up again and finish what's already planned but not written!

[awed-frog]

This is both amazing and profoundly irritating - the exact writing equivalent of that thing artists do - you know, how they’ll mess up anything that’s on expensive paper and planned in every single detail but get them doodling during a boring lesson and suddenly they’re Michel-bloody-angelo.

[biflseries]

Are you ready for a series with multiple LGBTQ characters who all have nuanced storylines and don’t die at the end? Are you ready to be able to directly support a series made by, for, and about queer people? Are you ready to help fund six episodes’ worth of angst, snark, and gay?

Then you’re ready for BIFL.

BIFL is an LGBTQ comedy about expectations, different shades of intimacy, and what it really means to love someone; about blood family versus found family and how toxic relationships can both manifest and disguise themselves; and about a group of twenty-somethings trying their best. But most of all, it’s about me, and you, and all of us, and we think you’re really gonna dig it.

Head to our campaign page to check out the pitch-video-slash-trailer and learn more about the story and characters, and please consider donating in exchange for one (or several!) of our fantastic perks. The funds will go directly toward the production of this series, and you’ll forever have the satisfaction of knowing you helped make something awesome!

If you’re unable to do so but still want to support the project, you can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to stay updated on our progress.

BIFL is a love letter to femslash fandom, and we’d love for you all to help us make it happen.
