And outlive the bastards.

A lot of burning. Smashing the patriarchy. Crying about books. And an undying love for fictionnal characters. My fandoms are mostly books and more books, sometimes I try to write but mostly I knit. I'm a crazy knitter with a blog http://theyarnloot.wordpress.com and a partner in crime in knitting : northernwolfyak . We also have an Instagram where we're all proper www.instagram.com/yarnlooters/

My bestfriend : So who’s the worst villian you’ve ever seen in a fanfiction?

Me : Miscommunication

[theivorytowercrumbles]

it’s actually not that hard to make me sign up for a het ship if both parties involved are actually nice/respectful to one another, and the woman isn’t making disproportionate sacrifices to make the man happy, but that rules out like 90% of the possibilities by default anyway

[youreagoodliar-deactivated20170]

Friendly reminder that Padme had a subplot in Episode III where she was going against Palpatine’s actions and she, Bail Organa, and Mon Mothma (her only appearance in the prequel trilogies) basically formed the early version of the Rebel Alliance, but the entire thing was deleted.

[dreadedloreenkid]

Apparently this subplot was cut at the last minute because Lucas wanted to keep the focus on Anakin, but tbh this would have strengthened Anakin’s storyline as well as the film overall. In the final scene of the subplot, Palpatine starts sowing seeds of doubt in Anakin about Padme’s loyalty to the Republic and to Anakin himself, and it helps show that not only did the Empire begin in ROTS, but so too did the Rebellion. 

Plus, it has the added value of reinforcing how Palpatine essentially had full control of the Republic long before it formally became the Empire; by the time he declares himself Emperor, the title is little more than a formality. The Petition Of The Two-Thousand is a blacklist that Palpatine can use in the early years of the Empire to scapegoat any political opponents and eliminate them, silencing any opposition. It also gives Padme and clear and powerful legacy in the history of the Rebellion, almost as a martyr.

Finally, we have the artistic value - the contrast between Anakin and Padme, as their politics divides them and they each help to form the Empire and the Rebellion respectively, culminating in the final symbolism of them lying on their respective operating tables clad in black and white.

It’s almost as if George Lucas was a shitty writer and director who had no clue how to tell an actual good story…

Things I’ve Learned From Fic Writing: 

Writing action scenes is truly the worst  

Every movie and TV show is just an AU waiting to happen

People have to lean on doors all the time. It’s just a rule. 

People who can stick to posting schedules have made a deal with some kind of higher power. 

There are only so many ways to describe kissing and none of them ever seem right. 

[this-too-too-sullied-flesh]

-if you spent a lot of time on it, it won’t do half as well as the ones you barely even bothered to edit.

-the minute you start typing up a new fic “just so i don’t forget” is the first in a long line of minutes/days/years you won’t spend working on your WIP.

-dick or cock, cock or dick. you’re one or the other; rarely both.

-domestic fluff will get more notice than smut or angst.

-if you’re any good, eventually, someone will copy you, whether it’s your writing style, certain phrases unique to you, or flat-out plagiarism. calling them out on it will often start a fandom war, or at the very least vagueposting that makes everyone wonder if olympus is at war again.

-you can get 400 positive, glowing reviews and messages and one really nasty, godawful, anonymous one that doesn’t even criticize the actual writing but you as a person. you will dwell on that one for a long time.

-your old fics have the phrases that fandom has decided are cringe-worthy (”tongues battling for dominance,” “s/he let out a breath s/he hadn’t realized s/he’d been holding,” things more specific to your fandom). it’s okay. it happens to all of us.

-when someone goes absolutely nutbar, crazyballs, full-on fandom flail about your fic? you will be embarrassed by how amazing it makes you feel. roll in that feeling.

-WHEN WILL U UPDATE???? will happen five minutes after you post that 12k word update that took you the better part of a month to write and threatened your relationships because of the time you spent on writing rather than your loved ones.

-if you write smut, you will get very private, personal, often detailed messages from people describing what they had to go do after reading your fic.

-the best place to write fic is while waiting at the DMV. don’t ask why. something about the bad lighting and morose and suffocating humanity gets the creative juices flowing. so bring a pen and a notebook if you have to be there.

-you will read fics that are perfectly characterized, beautifully written, and heartachingly gorgeous. they will barely have any hits/notes. promote the fuck out of those fics, especially if you have a lot of followers.

-you will write fics that you know are lazy and just okay that people will go nuts for. don’t congratulate yourself for that.

-if it becomes a chore to write or update it, then maybe consider just stopping, or taking a hiatus on the project. people will bug you for years to finish. that’s okay–in fact, it’s lovely. but don’t let it make you feel bad. if you don’t feel it, it will show in the writing. maybe one day you’ll end up finishing, maybe you won’t. either way, you’re doing a great job. you contributed to fandom! and that’s wonderful.

-and the most important thing i learned about fic writing? always thank anyone who takes the time to read your shit and let you know that they liked it. you wrote something, and they read it! i mean, honestly. how fucking amazing is that?
