Won’t lie, if I were having a rough time and the office himbos brought me mac and cheese I would be cured.

[thevibraniumvoid]

Yes I re-read my own fics because I wrote them for ME

[landshark1339]

Wish that bitch would update though.

[inkandcarnage]

So many deleted works in the TFA fandom!

[inkandcarnage]

For anyone following Komorebi, I have not abandoned it. Going through some stuff right now, I just lost one of my dogs very suddenly, found out my employer of 6 years is outsourcing our department and now my other dog is sick too. I'll get back to writing when I can find joy in something again.

Just a feral Bakugou doing a Kabedon to a fiery Uraraka 😂 … DAMN! I did that?!

They’re currently in the “enemy” phase in the enemies, to friends, to lovers 😂

Here, she tired to run away/ escape with his horse and he had to run them down.

[urbanfantasyinspiration]

I’m choreographing a fight scene to whatever song I’m listening to

[sassysousa]

I’m running possible dialogue for my writing over and over until the scene has no meaning

[bouncyirwin]

I’m doing all of the above

[inkandcarnage]

Wow, who let the pornbots out? Came back to 37 new followers and all were pornbots. Smh.

I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but more people should read incomplete/unfinished/in-progress fanfics.

I've noticed this huge trend where creators on tiktok and tumblr who will be explaining how to use Archive Of Our Own to new users and they always say "and make sure to scroll down and click completed only" or how people will go out of their way to mention they only read completed fics 'because they were traumatized when they forgot to check the dates and didn't realize this fic hadn't been updated since 2012'.

The thing is - I think by not engaging with and/or actively avoiding writer's WIPs readers are potentially adding to the aggregate of abandoned works. Now this obviously isn't the case for all abandoned fics, anything from major life events, to loss of interest, to getting busy can be a reason for a fic getting abandoned - but at least on some level I just know that writers are quitting while they're ahead when they aren't garnering any response or feedback because reading WIPs has become unpopular. If you're worried about reading something that hasn't been updated since 2012 then you can use the date updated function to sort out old fics.

Anyways, support your favorite fanfic writers by engaging with their WIPs.

Legit, getting a subscription on a fic I'd abandoned 10 years earlier spurred me into action to finish it (and write a sequel!)

[epitome-of-an-openbook]

#The journey of reading a fic while it's updating is part of the fun!

Yes exactly this! I love subscribing to fics forgetting about them a bit and then being pleasantly surprised when they update again and they show up in my inbox. It makes me feel like I'm a Charles Dickens fan living in 1830s London waiting patiently for his new chapter to be released via the daily paper.

your writing does not have to be good. your author’s note does not have to go on its knees for a hundred words before each chapter repenting. you only have to let the soft gremlin of your brain write what it wants.

[lost-on-t-umblr]

Realizing you can like people aesthetically without it dictating your sexuality is so liberating tbh. Like, one can adore, even be obsessed with, the looks of someone of the same sex and still be straight. One can find people beautiful, and handsome, and fascinating, and still be asexual. I can like the physical appearance of someone of the opposite sex and still be gay. Finding physical beauty in people doesn’t equal to being physically, or sexually, or romantically attracted to them. Human beauty isn’t inherently sexual. Just wanted to put it out there.

being an adult is just dragging urself kicking and screaming to things that you will enjoy and that will be good for you

[mobydyke]

clenching my teeth and muttering under my breath "you'll be happy you did it you'll be happy you did it you'll be happy you did it" as I physically force myself out the door to go Do Things

[mobydyke]

being very firm with myself every time I think about bailing and saying "no. you committed to this. it will improve your quality of life. you will enjoy it. now put on your big boy pants and go."
