Happy fanfiction writers appreciation day!

To any new writers: Be brave! Take the plunge and post your fics - the world can’t wait to read them, and I’m sure they’re wonderful! And if you’ve already done so, then congratulations, and welcome to the world of writing!

To any old writers: Thank you, and keep going! Your fics are appreciated and enjoyed, and hopefully whatever comes next is as loved as it deserves to be!

To the popular writers: Well done on getting your work out there! It’s wonderful to see fics with so many notes, and I hope your next fic is just as appreciated!

To the writers who get 3 notes: Your work is no less amazing than those who get thousands of notes. Keep going, because there are people who adore what you write. You are fantastic and loved.

To the writers who post fics regularly: You are incredible, and should be both admired and feared. Well done for your wonderful work ethic, and for bringing quality writing to your fandoms!

To the writers who update irregularly: You are brilliant. Writing is hard, and just because you don’t update frequently doesn’t detract from the fact that you’re incredible people who are writing for nothing but pleasure. I hope your writing is going well, and that you know that your fics (and you!) are loved.

To the writers who have lost their inspiration: Don’t worry! Inspiration comes and goes, and hopefully your enthusiasm for your fics will come back. Until then, know that the writing you’ve already done is wonderful, and if you decide to continue, it’ll be fantastic.

To every writer: Thank you ❤️

types of fic writers

headcanons: every one of your fics is full of your headcanons for the characters, no matter how seemingly improbable said headcanons are. your body of work is a big fuck you to the canon, and the readers are here for it.

pain is weakness leaving the body: you pick your favourite characters based on potential for pain, and how pretty they look while you’re torturing them. while you are capable of happy endings and even the occasional fluff, your readers must wade through an ocean of pain first.

more in character than canon: you have nailed down each character to their essentials, and it shows. no matter what else is going on in the fic, you will not tolerate OOC nonsense. you hate canon because it doesn’t know shit about the characters. fix it fics and AUs abound with you.

fluffy clouds of sugar: you write fluff. you have heard vaguely of pain but do not do business with it. no matter the canon, your fic is as sweet and soft as marshmallow. your readers teeth have long since rotted out. you are working steadily at their gums. some of them are considering making you pay for their insulin.

shameless: you write porn. some people think you only write porn, which is accurate. you will write anything, so long as it’s rated E. you are a bottomless well of filth, an unshamable hydra of kink, always on the lookout for an excuse to write porn.

tag urself i’m somewhere between pain is weakness and fluffy

now that ao3 as a whole is a hugo nominee and has reminded us all that it is an incredibly well-designed, excellently maintained project with an archival system that is the envy of many librarians etc, it is a great time to remember that:

ao3 is run entirely by volunteers 

there are no ads or monetization at all to bother site users

and also the site works on strict guidelines to prevent us from being sued to bankruptcy etc

we use this amazing site for FREE

server space is EXPENSIVE and ao3 needs A LOT OF IT

the otw (which is the non-profit that runs ao3) spring donation drive is happening right now!

donations to the drive go to ao3 AND other projects run by otw

so if you use ao3 and appreciate all the hard work being done to keep it running, GO DONATE. 

SUPPORT OUR HUGO NOMINATED ARCHIVE THAT ALLOWS US TO SAFELY AND FREELY ENJOY FAN CONTENT.

if you can’t donate, spreading the word, congratulating ao3 on the nomination, and thanking the ao3 volunteers for their hard work would also be lovely!!

Like. The quote “I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend” is such an integral quote/concept to LOTR that I just cannot for the life of me comprehend how people come away from LOTR inspired to write the grimdark i-love-war-and-suffering stories that populate fantasy

[elflady]

literally JRR TOLD us that if more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But did we listen? No of course not! More angsting about redeeming our rightful throne by slaughtering hundreds!!!

Do you think Alexa gets asked to play Despacito?

Omygod, ive written a fanfic when that meme was gaining popularity and i had a character say this to her 😂

[kurokoros]

You know, this is why content creators end up abandoning their works, right?

80 likes compared to 10 reblogs means that only 12% of people decided that what you did is worth showing other people.

If you like the thing, reblog it. You don’t even have to add tags, just spread it so that a) other people can see it, and b) the creator gets recognition for what they did.

Obviously, those numbers are never going to match, but the divide should not be that huge.

It’s even more important right now, because tumblr is garbage and they’ve stopped allowing anything with an outside link from appearing in tags. Writers/artists cannot tag things to their twitter/store/writing website. That can cause a significant drop in views, especially for newer creators.

Like… we aren’t asking for much. A few reblogs. Reviews/comments. No creator should have to beg for that much.

[kayjaykayme]

Support artists and writers and reblog!

[landprince]

what if writers did streams like artists did

I think it was a Monty Python sketch that showed an author writing with a commentary like a sports commentator.

“And he’s started writing… no, he’s just written his name at the top of the page. He’s written ‘the’, a very strong opening, used in several of his books. Oh, no, he’s crossed it out again.”

[gingersnapwolves]

“Ah, look, she’s opening the thesaurus again … perhaps she’s realized she used the same word six times in two paragraphs”

“Now that sentence is lovely, an excellent example of her style in - oh, no, she’s deleting it, never mind”

“This scene is clearly over, yet the brave author forges onward regardless…”

“She’s really picking up steam now, the words just flowing out from her - she’s stopped midsentence for some reason and is opening Buzzfeed”

“Choosing to google ‘which countries are nonextradition countries’ is a risk but it’s one some authors must take…”

[88thparallel]

Why you gotta call me out like that?

[wanderingcas]

who is old enough to be part of the fanfic.net era where we literally talked to our characters? like, had conversations with them?

cause I do. as a lonely child of 12 who had no friends, it was a favorite pasttime of mine to boot up the dial-up internet and type out imaginary conversations with ouran high school host club characters in the beginning notes before even starting the damn chapter (which was inevitably 500 words long and absolutely awful)

[castielsdisciple]

Modern Author’s Note on Ao3: might discuss some possible triggers, thank readers for comments, apologize for a delay in update, etc–talking to reader, essentially.

Author’s Note on FFN back in 2010: 

Author: Y’all are gonna love this cahpter!!!! [Character] not sooooo much

Character:…wh–what’s gonna happen?

Author: Don’t worry about it! ^.^

Character: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME??

Author: ;)

Character: D:

those were dark, dark days, man. Today’s Fandom Freshman are sure lucky they missed this. 

[tenoko1]

This when right alongside the detailed disclaimers to avoid lawsuits.

[hazeldomain]

Don’t forget that the author was broken into at least five separate voices, ‘Inside Out’ style.

[officialgleamstar]

or where you would have ask blogs for your ocs except it was just in a ff.net story. basically an entire classic authors note except people would ask questions. that was my childhood.

[zwritestuff]

Y'all forgot that sometimes we also appeared in the middle of the text with notes like “(author: noooo >:( character is such a b*tch!!!! character: I’M NOT!!!!)” And it was the crimgiest shit ever but we had fun doing it lmao

me writing dialogue: “what is man but a vessel through which a higher entity may see? what is his purpose? must he find a purpose? we are but stardust; the universe comprehending itself.”

me writing action: they ran real fast from the bad men aand legs hurty

[incandescent-creativity]

me writing action: Her legs pounded against the earth, the familiar jolt grounding her like nothing else could. Magic, gods, royalty—she didn’t know anything about that. But running? That’s something she’d been doing since day one.

me writing dialogue: “I dunno man whatchu wanna do” “I dunno. What do you think?” “Hey man I don’t know”

[bidootdoot-deactivated20190601]

me writing action: room go boom

me writing dialogue: noppity nope, that ain’t dope

Guys, I edit professionally. This list is legit. Incorporating these suggestions before you hire an editor will save you A LOT of money. Even if you did these and nothing else, you’d see significant overall improvement in your work.

That said, you don’t have to overthink these things when you’re writing a first draft. If you write, “she said angrily” in a first draft, you can always revisit the phrasing in a second draft. I mention this because overthinking style can lead to a loss of momentum, and losing momentum is why so many people never finish a draft. Give yourself permission to write fast, write messy or ugly, and edit your draft into beauty later.

[writeouswriter]

Has this been done?

[itoh-the-diamond]

yes. correct.

[itoh-the-diamond]

For anyone who is wondering:

I most likely will not go back and proof-read any of the stories i publish; unless stated. If a story gets enough likes or good attention around it, i will go back to it in the future and make a more detailed/smooth version.

“Is this a new low for me?”

The end of the nights are always rough. Be it when an event ends, having to prep for the next round of travelling, or even just getting to bed after a stressful week (like right now).

Sasha is soon to find herself in this situation.

As she curently runs on over-exhaustion adrenaline, and has decided to make... what is supposed to be “healthy” snacks. Cream cheese mixed with blueberries and strawberries then frozen in cupcake pans.

Things turned out disasterous to say the least.

Cream cheese has found itself flung about the kitchen. Stemming from when Sasha realized that her raw tired energy™️ had caused her to forget to put the fruits in the metal bowl. Quickly taking the hand mixer out without turning it off in the heat of the moment, the cream cheese disaster looked like it was an explosion.

That’s nothing compared to the fruits though.

Sasha had bought four small packs of blueberries, and already had two packs of strawberries at home.

She hadn’t even taken out the berries yet or checked the cases. She decided it was best to clean up the cream cheese later and continue with the recipe. So as she looked through the music on her phone, she mindlessly opened one of the blueberry cases and pulled one out. As she brought it up to her open mouth, something seemed off.

Or rather felt off.

She looked down at her hand in panic and saw a dead fly.

She shrieked in horror and tried to throw away the fly as fast as she could, but in the process accidently knocked the case of blueberries off the counter with her other hand.

Stepping on blueberries as she tried her best to get to the trash bin to throw away the insect.

Once she had succeeded in that, her life around her was still a wreck.

She washed her hands off intensively before drying them off with a hand towel.

In her exhausted state, she didn’t feel the need to clean up still.

And as a last ditch effort for a treat, took a strawberry from a case and bit into with no hesitation.

Feeling a fuzzy and mushy texture hit her tongue.

She looked into the box and lifted up a different strawberry, only to find mold growing.

Near throwing up, she turns around and proceeded to violenty spit out the tainted fruit.

Now we find Sasha in her current state of despair. In old pyjamas, cream cheese on her and the cabinents, walls, counter top, and floor. Half squished half intact blueberries scattered on the floor. Moldy strawberries in their box just sitting. Leaning on the counter with her head in her hands.

Foot steps neared the bottom of the stairs which had a full view of the kitchen.

“Sasha, come back to bed-....” Bayley wore a Sasha Banks t-shirt and sweat shorts; rubbing at her eyes then her sentence trailed off once she saw her girlfriend.

Seeing Sasha in a state of anguish, and the kitchen in a state of its own version.

“What happened?”

“Is this a new low for me?” Sasha asks; her voice raw from being physically and emotionally drained. “I think it is.”

Submit Prompts!

It could be anything from the classic fanfiction prompts to original stories you want me to write!

“Trying Something New”

“Hey, Sasha?” Bayley yelled out into the, hopefully, not empty house.

Flex leaped off the couch and immediately found himself at his favorite humans’ side.

“Yah?”

Bayley didn’t realize what she would say was going to make Sasha...

excited.

“I want to try something new in the bedroom!” Bayley excitedly holds up the completely filled bags from (name brand store that contains bed supplies).

Sasha’s face heatened up. ‘Is Bayley actually my not-so-innocent girlfriend?’

“What is it, Babe?” She questioned; hoping someone didn’t ruin her innocence more than she, on her own, already had.

Bayley tossed the (name brand store that contains bed supplies) bags onto the couch.

Sasha getting practically double-foot stomped into the stomach by each one as they bounced off onto the ground.

Once she saw the logo of (name brand store that contains bed supplies), her body felt relief wash over it.

Bayley plopped down on the couch near Sashas feet. “I thought our sheets right now were kind of boring, so I picked a new set out.” She explained like nothing even happened.

‘I’m going to have to explain to her what “I want to try something new in the bedroom”, implies.” Thought Sasha. ‘But that can be put off to another day.’

The rest of the day, the two spent by completely re-arranging their shared room.

While each time Bayley said a sexual implication without knowing it, Sasha’s whole existence became more frantic and anxious.

What’s Wrong, Lovely?

It was always hard for Charlotte to stomach the thought of Becky retiring first. Especially when looking at the move set of hers. A leg drop destroys your spine, even more so doing it from a ten-foot ladder.

Becky wouldn’t listen though, no. She loves to entertain the fans and wouldn’t give up the world for her job. Hell, Charlotte can’t judge her. As she loves this business with all her heart ever since she started because of her brother. Now doing moonsaults off the top rope, sometimes the corkscrew variant.

“Hey, Becks.” Charlotte felt the uncontrollable urge to tell her this.

“Ya?”

“Be safe out there tonight, please?” She near pleaded.

Becky looked to be taken off guard, but shook it off. “I always am. Will you do the same?” She smiled.

Charlotte only but smirked knowingly with tears threatening to escape. She grabbed Becky by the shoulder and encased her in a hug. “This is the biggest night of our careers, of womens wrestling, of our lives. I hate the thought of it being your last.”

“Charlie, we are going to kill it. Stop worrying your pretty head.” Becky smirked and pushed a strand of golden blonde hair behind her ear. Holding Charlottes face like it was a precious work of greek art. “You, are going to kill it.”

“For the first time in all of Wrestlemania history, and the moment you have all been anticipating! The triple threat match for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship!” The clear voice of a male announcer echoed throughout the whole stadium.

“Show them you’re a Flair for a reason.” Becky firmly pat Charlottes shoulder.

“And show the whole world why you’re ‘The Man’.”

They both smiled at eachother and held one anothers shoulders in a pre-game hype manner.

Begrudgingly letting go once Charlottes music hit.

No words had to be spoken.

Everyone knew it will be the biggest moment of the year.

And the duo couldn’t be more proud of eachother.
