FOR ANYONE WHO CAN’T READ THIS

[I’m a therapist and keep this poster in my waiting room, apparently it’s saved a few lives 

I DON’T LIKE THE PHRASE “A CRY FOR HELP.” I JUST DON’T LIKE HOW IT SOUNDS. WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS TO ME, “I’M THINKING ABOUT SUICIDE, I HAVE A PLAN; I JUST NEED A REASON NOT TO DO IT,” THE LAST THING I SEE IS HELPLESSNESS 

I THINK: YOUR DEPRESSION HAS BEEN BEATING YOU UP FOR YEARS. IT’S CALLED YOU UGLY, AND STUPID, AND PATHETIC, AND A FAILURE, FOR SO LONG THAT YOU’VE FORGOTTEN THAT IT’S WRONG. YOU DON’T SEE ANY GOOD IN YOURSELF, AND YOU DON’T HAVE ANY HOPE. 

BUT STILL. HERE YOU ARE: YOU’VE COME OVER TO ME, BANGED ON MY DOOR, AND SAID, “HEY! STAYING ALIVE IS REALLY HARD RIGHT NOW! JUST GIVE ME SOMETHING TO FIGHT WITH! I DON’T CARE IF IT’S A STICK! GIVE ME A STICK AND I CAN STAY ALIVE!” 

HOW IS THAT HELPLESS? I THINK THAT’S INCREDIBLE. YOU’RE LIKE A MARINE: TRAPPED FOR YEARS BEHIND ENEMY LINES, YOUR GUN HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY, YOU’RE OUT OF AMMO, YOU’RE MALNOURISHED, AND YOU’VE PROBABLY CAUGHT SOME KIND OF JUNGLE VIRUS THAT’S MAKING YOU HALLUCINATE GIANT SPIDERS. 

AND YOU’RE STILL JUST GOING, “GIVE ME A STICK. I’M NOT DYING OUT HERE." 

"A CRY FOR HELP” MAKES IT SOUND LIKE I’M SUPPOSED TO TAKE PITY ON YOU, BUT YOU DON’T NEED MY PITY. THIS ISN’T PATHETIC. THIS IS THE WILL TO SURVIVE. THIS IS HOW HUMANS LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO BECOME THE DOMINANT SPECIES. 

WITH NO HOPE, RUNNING ON NOTHING, YOU’RE READY TO CUT THROUGH A HUNDRED MILES OF HOSTILE JUNGLE WITH NOTHING BUT A STICK, IF THAT’S WHAT IT TAKES TO GET TO SAFETY 

ALL IM DOING IS HANDING OUT STICKS. 

YOU’RE THE ONE STAYING ALIVE. ]

Reblog if you're in the 'My ship isn't canon but we got dope fanfiction' club

[lesbianmichelmishina]

shit that actually happens in pokemon:

a giant castle rises from the ground around the main government building. this is basically peta’s fault.

you ride a dragon-god into space to fight a meteor alien. this is plan b. plan a was to send the meteor alien to another dimension.

one guy tries to get rid of the oceans. one tries to get rid of dry land. What Happens Next Will Shock You.

a dude jumps straight out of the water onto an evil pirate ship, lowers the gangplank, then swims off to let a teenager deal with it.

there is a 1/3 chance that a runaway 11-year-old yakuza/mafia prince broke into a laboratory to steal an adorable plant creature.

you can buy a useless fish for several thousand yen from a shady salesman. this is actually a very good investment.

the devil, the god of death and the bringer of eternal nightmares all really really really like cake.

the space cultists would have won if dragon lucifer hadn’t showed up.

god is a goat, and if you take it to the right place, it will make you a baby god.

the most powerful trainer in the world (a 14-year-old with a pet rat) went up a frozen mountain for no apparent reason. he only comes down after you beat up his rat. this is absurdly difficult.

the effective ruler of the unova region is a magical catgirl space princess with a bunch of pet dragons. 

there’s a nine foot tall guy wandering around. his height is the least interesting thing about him. and his best friend is a flower fairy.

Look at what I got for Christmas! I can't believe I forgot to post this!

[saucywenchwritingblog]

I’ve seen five different authors take down, or prepare to take down, their posted works on Ao3 this week.  At the same time, I’ve seen several people wishing there was more new content to read.  I’ve also seen countless posts by authors begging for people to leave comments and kudos. 

People tell me I am a big name fan in my chosen fandom.  I don’t quite get that but for the purposes of this post, let’s roll with it.  On my latest one shot, less than 18% of the people who read it bothered to hit the kudos button.  Sure, okay, maybe that one sort of sucked.  Let’s look at the one shot posted before that - less than 16% left kudos.  Before that - 10%, and then 16%.  I’m not even going to get into the comments.  Let’s just say the numbers drop a lot.  I’m just looking at one shots here so we don’t have to worry about multiple hits from multiple chapters, people reading previous chapters over, etc.  And if I am a BNF, that means other people are getting significantly less kudos and comments.

Fandom is withering away because it feels like people don’t care about the works that are posted.  Why should I go to the trouble of posting my stories if no one reads them, and of the people who do read them, less than a fifth like them?  Even if you are not a huge fan of the story, if it kept your attention long enough for you to get to the bottom, go ahead and mash that kudos button.  It’s a drop of encouragement in a big desert. 

TL;DR: Passively devouring content is killing fandom.

[dragons-quill]

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^

Fandom is kept alive by readers, watchers, lookers, commenters, and supporters.  And the FiKi fandom has some MAGNIFICENT ones…but a lot more who click, consume, and say nothing.

Otherwise, artists and writers are throwing into a vacuum. And it’s the artists and writers who get blamed when there’s not new content?

[wyvernchick]

This applies to so many fandoms. It makes me so sad to see that even on LJ comms, there are far more people reading things than there are commenting on and liking them.  I co-mod one of the oldest sites in a particular fandom, and I know it’s still active because of the sign-ups for our challenges, but it’s so disheartening when people post and nobody says anything.  How does that encourage new writers, if the first thing they post gets no response? I cheerlead our comm on Twitter, where a lot of the members hang out, and still nothing.  It makes me feel like people are eventually going to just stop, and then I shall be sad, because if nobody’s posting and nobody’s reading, there’s little point in my writing and drawing either.  I don’t know why fandom is getting so heavily skewed towards passive consumption, but I wish I could do something - anything - to fix it.  I miss the kind of comment threads that used to lead directly to more fic and art.  

And there’s the answer, random fan demanding more fic but not actually doing anything to encourage it.  If you want us to create stuff, let us know we’re not shouting into the void.  Engage with us.  Discuss plot points with us.  We create for ourselves - but we post for you.

[squeesbysophie]

Creators love kudos, comments, and feedback.  Take a few moments and give it to them.  It means so much.

[stoneyboboney]

I think people dl'ding fic to their kindles (which, yay!) is a part of this, too. They enjoy it,they re-read it, but they don’t go back to AO3 to leave a kudos or comment. Perhaps folks could make a point that after they’ve read X number of stories, they pull out their Kindles/eReaders and go back to the AO3 and leave something for the fics they enjoyed? (Note: this is what I do about once a month.)

[tielan]

We create for ourselves, but we post for you. I’ve been posting for other people for sixteen years, I’m considered a fairly solid writer (people will read my work across fandoms, and sometimes into fandoms that they don’t even read, simply because they like my writing and they trust me) and, frankly, my kudos-to-hit ratio is usually ~10%. Sometimes it’s better, mostly - at least across a 750+ fic average - it’s worse. The reason (excuse?) I’ve heard repeated over and over is that people get anxious about responding to fics. They don’t want to say the wrong thing, so they say nothing. Which, okay, anxiety. On the other hand, we’re not asking for a public performance with a speech component and interpretative dance co-ordinated to something composed by a modernist on speed! (Although I have once received a comment of “I must resort to interpretative dance to express my joy at this.” And I was TICKLED PINK.) Frankly, an “I loved this story, thanks for writing it” is perfectly acceptable, and more than enough. (If you want to gush, though, go ahead and gush, because I have made fifteen-year friendships with people who gushed over my fics back in 2001. This is fandom; it’s what we do.) Seriously, though, leave kudos, comment, gush, have zero chill. I can almost guarantee that the author will be delighted to hear from you. And, who knows, you might get a fifteen-year friendship out of it.

[thereal-tsuki-llama-blog]

I hate that AO3 lets you download fics - it’s like I write a book for free (posting) and distribute for free (downloading). Someone may love a story, download it, and reread it a hundred times, and I don’t even get hits for it, let alone kudos or comments, so I what else can I assume except that no one’s interested? *sigh*

[harvestangel99]

I wish AO3 would let you kudos each chapter. I press it each chapter anyway. I such at leaving comments even though I know better. I used to be so good. I will make more of an effort now.

First Sentence Writing Prompts

Send me characters/pairings (and setting or anything else you want to see) and the number to one of the following first lines:

“I know you’re afraid but we can’t hide in this closet forever.”

“Nope, I absolutely refuse to touch that.”

“How exactly did you manage to get stuck in there?”

“Why is it suddenly purple?”

“Pass me the sledgehammer.”

“Explain it to me again - why do we need to pretend to be married?”

“In my defense, I thought this would go a lot more smoothly.”

“I don’t know how you get yourself into these situations.”

“Careful, don’t drop – “

“And that’s how I ended up standing naked on the Brooklyn Bridge on Christmas Eve.”

“It’s sticky.”

“You need to stop.”

“Well that’s the single most impressive thing I’ve ever seen someone do.”

“What’s with the pigtails?”

“How have you made it this long without someone throwing you out an airlock or something?”

“Ow, what was that for?”

“Ugh, why did I eat that?”

“In my defense, it seemed like a brilliant idea at the time.”

“Run!”

“Come on, give me one good reason not to jump in the lake.”

“We’re going to be late if we don’t leave like 5 minutes ago.”

“What do you mean by leaving?”

“I’m trying very hard not to see all this as a metaphor for my life.”

“Please tell me you know how to defuse a bomb.”

“Where have you been, I was ready to call the police!”

“No, the house is definitely not haunted, why do you ask?”

“Get over here now and bring a tarp.”

“I don’t care that it’s 2:00 am, we need pie.”

“I’ve got everything under control.”

“At this point, what else could possibly go wrong?”

On the Pottermore website, J.K. Rowling explains how wizards poop. There’s an excerpt about the Chamber of Secrets that says wizards didn’t need toilets because they ‘simply relieved themselves where they stood, and vanished the evidence.’ Source Source 2

Just imagine you’re taking a test for potions with Snape and the guy sitting next to you just fucking shits himself the nastiest, slimiest shit of his life out of stress. And you literally have to sit there with a straight face while fuckin Todd JingleJangles cleans himself up in the dead quiet room with some stupid ass line like “vanish me poopum” and you just gotta live with the knowledge that some kid just shit himself beside you during a fucking test.
