The thing about fanfiction after writing original fiction for so long is that it feels like taking weighted clothes off. If I wanted a cool plot twist or a reveal or a mystery I had to set up all the expectations myself. I had to set up the red herrings, the clues, the boundaries of what was reasonable.

In fanfiction I drop a name from canon I never referenced before and it will carry the weight that a hundred pages of set up would carry in original fiction.

Do you have any fucking idea how intoxicating that is.

[abilusanji]

The shared language of a fandom in fanfiction is so amazingly conducive to a type of story telling that we lost when public domain was gutted as a legal concept. And it’s such a thrilling way to make stories and I weep for how rare it is to encounter.

Like you sort of get a ghoulish attempt with star wars style “look it’s revan” but it’s still only a handful of people who get to play. With fandom everyone gets to play with the full toolbox, with infinite chances to try.

It’s striking me really hard after reading this post–so much of what is considered the ~canon~ of western literature really arises out of this situation where everyone who wrote (i.e. a tiny minority of educated men and the very very rare educated woman) was operating with a common set of referents. There were just so few books, back then, and if you were educated enough to write, those were the books you had read, and that your teachers had read and told you about. Everyone got the same references.

We talk about the Divine Comedy being Bible fanfic and so forth, but it really was in a way we don’t always articulate–it wasn’t just that it was repurposing other stories the author had read. It was the product of an author who felt himself a part of a community that had this shared set of referents. He only had to allude to things, and his intended readers knew all of the context. Being in modern fandom allows us to be part of a community that likewise shares a canon and shares references and influences, something that is increasingly lost in modern copyrighted fiction where everyone is constantly desperate to be original.

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

The fact that the way the Lord Unknown is named changes as Andrew's perception of them does too means a lot to me.

"Something kind" 💔

All Andrew really needed at that moment was someone (or something) to open up to, to actually listen to him, to *know* him.

I'm happy he was able to get that somehow, even if he got it from a mysterious demon.

NO DON'T BE HAPPY SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS GOING TO COME OF THIS ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Love him or I will double suplex you

I love him!! I love him

[coldswarkids]

you are a woman in a fantasy book written by a man. choose your personality trait

PETITE but super strong (defeats men easily 3x your size)

crosses arms across breasts / yanks braid in irritation

has giant sexy bazongers (that are sooooo inconvenient for archery)

"ugh, MEN" (acts in completely irrational manner)

only female character among cast of 3,000 men

see male protagonist > i must bone him immediately

written to "defeat sexist tropes" but is just written as a man instead

not like the OTHER girls (tucks hair behind ears)

damsel in distress (faints dramatically) ooohhhhh

Remaining time: 15 hours 55 minutes

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.

I want you to understand this. I NEED you to understand this. My mother read me the hobbit as bedtime story, and I started pushing myself to read before pre-school so I could in fact read the hobbit for myself instead of having to wait for bedtime.

I didn't do so right away but jesus wept I PUSHED myself to learn to read SPECIFICALLY so I could read The Hobbit! It is, in fact, a children's story! And children only see page count as 'there is a lot of this fun story to read!'

people with medical issues are not “putting a strain on the medical system”. that’s what the medical system is for. yes this includes people with substance use related medical issues and other people considered “undeserving” of help

[earhartsease]

“putting a strain on the medical system” = politicians

[unholyfreakdog]

it kills me to think about all of the people who will never experience TCOAAL because of this whole ‘purity’ obsession. so many of them will listen to bullshit spewed by others (people who have… also never played the game,) instead of trying themselves.

“it’s incest slop!” brother. it is HEART-WRENCHING . it’s literally a story of neglect abuse, childhood trauma, generational trauma AND co-dependency.

it’s FILLED with metaphoric puzzles, an amazing soundtrack that leaves you feeling uneasy, stunning backgrounds, tons of carefully-drawn cgs, i mean…

i could go on.

like, if you personally dislike that kind of content, that’s absolutely fine! it’s not for everyone, but this stupid game of telephone is not going to erase what TCOAAL truly is—and it is art. there’s no doubt about that.

this specific kind of art is meant to be consumed critically—but these purity-obsessed people almost always refuse to consume media unless it’s 100% good and pure, and it makes me sad.

fiction is NOT, and should NOT be your moral compass.

chat should I do the thing where I have my boyfriend rate all of my fictional crushes from childhood until now and provide brief commentary on what he thinks of them and post his ratings and responses in the form of a sideshow

[wifegideonnav]
