Fic Shares & Scribbles

🚫18+ Only🚫 🛑MDNI🛑 🚫Antis DNI🚫

[ficsharesandscribbles]

Introduction

I'll be honest - I'm not sure if I'll be using this blog much. I made it in a fit of enthusiasm. I read a lot of fic on here and I love the Tumblr writing community, and I keep seeing "please reblog"...

But what I read is degenerate.

Like, really, really, horny. And often kinky.

So yeah, as the sub-heading says - 🚫18+ Only, Minors Do Not Interact🚫 and also I have zero space or patience for antishippers or whatever they call themselves these days. I do not like censorship or puritanism in any capacity. I was on FanFiction.Net back in 2002 - I have been in online fanfic spaces far longer than is healthy for anyone - and I am not here for any of this modern purity culture.

But for everyone else welcome aboard ❤️

I'm a late thirties autistic bi-disaster so I have many hyperfixations and I swing wildly between them on a whim.

Current Favourites Are:

Dragon Age Inquisition - Cullen (best boy) or Solas (for the drama)

Dragon Age The Veilguard - Lucanis or Emmerich

Pokemon Legends Z-A - Corbeau

Baldur's Gate 3 - Halsin

FFXIV - Aymeric (but can be tempted to read most pairings)

Love and Deepspace - Sylus most of all, but also anyone except Raphael 😅

I ambitiously named this fic shares and scribbles in case I might - might - put some of my own writing here. I wrote fanfic of my own a million years ago, and I used to love writing, but I barely do it these days and I'm probably terrible. So I apologise if there are no scribbles, but I will try ❤️

“sorry I can’t go out tonight. I have therapy.”

the therapy:

Mentally making a cup of tea and giving a gentle forehead kiss to every struggling writer on my dash right now.

Your story matters, your ideas are good, and someone out there is going to fall in love with your world.

being a writer is fun

if you ever doubt that your ao3 comments matter or mean something: i have been struggling with my writing for 6 months straight, crying myself to sleep afraid that i will never be able to write again, that the thing i love most in the world has left me, that my writing is just gone

this morning i got this comment:

and after i stopped blubbering over it, i picked up my writing notebook, and re-read all my fic research, and opened up my document again for the first time in weeks without being afraid of it

you have no idea how much writers treasure every single comment we get. you have no idea how big an impact you can have. sometimes, just sometimes, your one "insignificant" comment changes everything

i love fanfiction because unlike original work the plot and characters are all plotted and characterised for you to use so its a really good solution for those “i want to write but i dont know what to write” moods it lets you focus soley on the craft and its wonderful

"But I don't like the ending/the character/the plot point. I would have done it differently."

Yes. Good. Go get a pen. This is where it begins.

some people will be like “I wonder why fanfic writers don’t share their works anymore😔” and then this is them when a writer is kind enough to share something they write — as a hobby, for their own enjoyment — with them for free.

some people really don’t realize how privileged they are that they get fanfics for free. imagine having access to something for free because someone is kind enough to share it with you… and then being rude, entitled and an ungrateful pos to that person who was kind enough to share their creation with you for free

“almost 1 year is a lil too much for me” fuck off. fanfic writers don’t owe you anything. one of my favorite fics was updated after 13 years, and what I did is that I thanked the author for choosing to continue the work, I didn’t act like a spoiled toddler by asking why they didn’t update sooner. and even if a writer chooses to abandon their fic permanently with no explanation, that is their choice, their hobby, their decision. they don’t owe your entitled ass anything.

you people let tiktok rot your brains to the point you see everything as content farm and engagement. not a piece of art created by the artist’s love and passion. it’s dystopian.

I know this is the website where we talk about artists and writers doing anything other than making art or writing, but man, we REALLY undersell how good it feels to actually work on your stuff.
