It's been a whileeee— hallo there!

Fanart, based on my all-time fave MadaTobi fic

"Time Heals All Wounds" by YunaYamiMouto in AO3

Spoiler:

When he dared open his eyes again as his roommate coaxed him to, Madara found himself looking down on his street from the roof of his own small one story house. "What? How!? How did we-? What did you-? Just how!?" Tobirama, the bastard, just laughed at his confusion."We were just way over there," he pointed in the direction from which they should have comefrom if they had been walking. "And now we're here!? And why on the roof!? Stop laughing,Senju, damn it!"

My favorite Warring States Era fic trope:

Izuna: we’re at war and we’re losing

Tobirama: don’t worry, the enemy owe me a debt

Madara: *narrows eyes* why?

Tobirama: well, you know how I saved one of your Uchiha children a year ago?

Izuna: *chokes on the realization* Tobirama, how many CHILDREN HAD BEEN KIDNAPPED 

Tobi: twenty seven, in four different clans

Madara:

Izuna:

Madara: *voice croaking* and how often do you do this?

Mito: *snickering* every weekend. It’s therapy for him.

Izuna: *frantically doing the calculations* brother, your husband has debts to be collected from like . . . The entire continent. There is not a soul alive that DOESN’T OWE HIM SOME KIND OF DEBT WTF-

A Rant by Friday (I'm tired as hell and have writer's block)

Having an idea for a sequel or continuation of a series you're writing on AO3 is great and all until you actually start writing it and feel like you're cheating on your current project by jumping too far ahead, especially if you like it more than the original.

Unrelated (pfft), Prisoner is going to have a follow-up in the same universe taking place in the Founder's Era and I'm in love with the project. Which, coincidentally, means I'm struggling with Prisoner now. Lack of response lately hasn't been helping. Seeing so many writers struggle with the same feedback loop of just not getting a response to certain projects is as depressing as it is relatable. Having that response for over 25 chapters and then losing it was just confusing. (No disrespect to my lurkers, I know you're there. Having over 600 kudos and 120+ bookmarks is what keeps me writing, even without active comments.)

However, if there's one thing I've learned over twelve years of writing, it's that I don't need to care whether or not I lost some readers along the way or if the fic is taking a different direction than the readers want. Fanfiction, to me, is writing what I want to read in a fanfic. If we're searching for popularity, that's where published books come into play.

I stress enough chasing popularity through traditional publishing, why stress out about it for my hobby? Same deal with perfection in plot or perfection in the writing itself. I do my best not to stress about it. I'll still feel bad that some readers didn't want to keep reading or interacting but, at the end of the day, I'm writing what I want my story to be. Maybe I'm just coping.

If you feel like reading a KakashixOC fanfiction that's projected to be over 200k words by the end, Prisoner is for you. Linked below.

its so freeing when you realize you can literally write whatever you want 

[prettyboykatsuki-moved]

it doesnt have to be good or anything you can just write things and post them and it doesnt matter at all

[prettyboykatsuki-moved]

“your story sucks” what are you going to do? refund the money u didn’t pay? you are a bozo

[theitcharchives]

My writing abilities when I have an entire free day: twelve words. Take it or leave it

My writing abilities when I have to be somewhere in fifteen minutes: I got six thousand more in the pocket

When I die someday, whether that's tomorrow or in ninety years, I'll die peacefully knowing that I fulfilled my life's work.

Which was getting strangers horny on the internet using lovingly written, highly personal AO3 smut that I handcrafted myself and kissed on the forehead before I sent it out into the world.

That's what I was put on this earth to do.

Got myself a bluetooth keyboard on Cyber Monday so that I can write at mach-speed through Google Docs on my phone when I'm not at home. The key clicks are perfect and it scratches perfectly at my little goblin brain. Truly a fanfic writer's wet dream

I made this Tumblr simply for fanfic interactions and explanations behind half of the decisions I've made in my fics... I don't know what I'm doing, I've never had an active Tumblr before since I'm just a lurker for the most part but, well, several AO3 Authors tend to have them and use them to do deep dives outside of their fics so here I am.

Here's a link for my KakashixOC fic on AO3 (ongoing):
