That ‘comment on your a03 work’ email hits like a line of cocaine every time. unmatched dopamine increase. shoutout to everyone who leaves a comment on fics. you deserve the world

[jmeelee]

This week I f-ed up at work. Nothing career ending but a human mistake that caused a lot of frustration for people. I was feeling incredibly down about myself. In the middle of it all my phone buzzed for an incoming email. An AO3 comment. The comment was, “<3”. And I’m not gonna be melodramatic and say that <3 saved my life but it may very well have saved my soul, knowing that something I’d put out into the world brought someone joy, when all around me it seemed like all I could do was bring people down. COMMENTS. MEAN. SO. MUCH.

I only hate certain types of fic the same way I hate mosquitos and ticks. Like get these nasty little buggers away from me but also I respect their place in the ecosystem.

Me, spraying bug spray: blocked.

[sandersstudies]

Listen and sometimes? To enjoy running through a beautiful field of grass and flowers (ao3) you have to tolerate the fact that bugs (fics you don’t like) are there and maybe you will even encounter one, but you can use bugspray (filtered tags) to reduce the likelihood of that. Because the alternative is not getting to experience the beautiful field of grass and flowers.

And some of my mutuals happen to be entomologists. Which is also cool.

first in my bloodline to read this much gay fanfiction

[fuckrozanov]

i wish we had seen the conclusion of the water bottle scene like i need to know who stood up with their massive boner first. i mean obviously ilya but i also like to imagine shane pressing his knees together and waddling out of there just nauseous as hell. or if ilya left first how long did shane sit there willing his to go away. he’s almost soft then looks at the sweaty ass imprint where ilya was sitting and gets rock hard again. *on the verge of tears* that’s normal. it’s normal to look at an ass shape and get hard. my brain doesn’t even know it belongs to a guy

Writer confidence is not a thing you build and then have. It's a thing you have for about eleven minutes after writing something good and then it evaporates and you have to make more. There is no reservoir. There is no saving it up. You produce it fresh each time from scratch like some kind of emotional artisan bread and if you don't write for a few days you run out and have to start the whole process over again from flour.

honestly one of my favorite things about fanfic is when you can see the canon influences come out in really subtle ways. like a canon line thats mentioned once as a throwaway is suddenly the entire premise for a fic or it influences the characterization or something. its just so cool to see how people weave their ideas around a source material, especially if its not a detail i'd thought about before

this has been plaguing my mind for days

[huliajelena]

Ilya trying to outplay his demons

[ok-notgood-probablybad]

this means more to me than it should

[totearup]

Cliff can't believe he didn't figure it out sooner. The strange move to Ottawa. How happy he's been. And most damming of all, "Jane", it fucking rhymes!

He watches a highlight reel of Ilya celebrating with his line and realizes he's just going to have to accept it.

Ilya was in love with Zane Boodram.
