Feel free to reblog for other people to vote. DO NOT SEND HATE TO ANYONE FOR WHAT THEY VOTED. This is merely for fun and to see what people genuinely think.
Almost 20 years...
It is my date of birth.
I'm like this close to starting a dang GoFundMe or something so I can get my laptop repaired or replaced I just wanna be able to write again dangit
Don't mind me, just doing research.
For reasons.
starting to suspect that tech bros actually just don’t know what reading is
I know I just reblogged this but I think the really important takeaway here is that this techbro is not genuinely asking “how can we improve fanfiction?” What he’s asking is “how can we tap into this massive market?”
I keep thinking about how many of these chat bots are free—for now. And of course they are! It’s a classic marketing technique when you’re trying to get your foot in the door with a novel product: let folks use it, let them get used to it, then start charging for it. You don’t have to look any further than streaming to see a very recent example of how this happens.
And it’s going to happen with AI.
There’s nothing these assholes love more than making money off of other people’s hard work. But you can’t legally charge for fanfic! So how do you get around that? You charge for a chat bot (which you trained on other people’s fanfic). You can’t charge for the content, but you can charge for the thing that produces the content.
AI is theft, and there are a whooooole lot of people gleefully looking to make a buck off of our hard work.
Don’t use AI, don’t feed AI your favorite fic writers’ and artists’ work, don’t read AI fic, don’t engage with it. And if you do, well, I can’t force you to give a shit about other people, but AI is a paywall being built, brick by brick, between you and the things you love. Stop slathering on the mortar.
My laptop keyboard chose to take a dump at the WORST time. Gotta use this small USB one for now that I keep fat fingering and typo-ing with.
*draws fanart of my own fanfic*
This is a super neat idea and I'd love to hear more!

I'm back with more! In this one, Marron's pestering to get a cat has finally paid off. It's cute, I hope you like it! Let me know what you think!
The Edge Of Everything
Here it is guys.
The most honest, raw, real thing I'll ever write. I have poured my soul into this. While I think its a deeply true-to-them Krillin and 18 story, there was no way I could have written this without weaving in my own experiences of birth as both someone who has done it, and someone who has supported it.
This is my heart in words, and I hope it you love it.
Feedback welcome, I put to much into this for it to go unappreciated lol.
It's a long one, so grab a cuppa, get comfy and enjoy.
Please, PLEASE give this a read.
I literally can't stop writing.
I'm not even kidding. I haven't felt this creative in probably 10 years. Words are just spilling out of me, and I'm so so happy about it.
Back to my roots for this one, with all the sweet, emotional feels. I know it's not thirsty, but I hope you'll like it anyway. I really like this one, I'm proud of it.
Anyhoo, enjoy!
This is so sweet.
You asked for smut, and you shall receive smut.
You asked, I delivered. Enjoy. There's more where this came from too, if you like it.
Bit of a spice warning on this one, but wow.
bet you weren't expecting this, hey! A new chapter for Just Another Day, that ISN'T from the snippet I posted yesterday.
These are brand new words, baby! And they're ever so mildly spicy!
The formatting is fucked, because I don't know how to upload shit anymore, but it's there and it'll do.
Enjoy!
Someone: *has a dark, edgy otp that the majority of their fandom clings to and swoons over in their massive, angsty popularity*
Me:
See one of the things I love about this ship is they skipped the potential angst and melodrama (and believe me there’s room for a lot with them) and are actually doing the harder part. A lot of ships and stories centered around them end when they finally get together (or in worst case scenarios, they introduce a former lover from the past and do an entire arc where they have to ‘choose’ again.) Most don’t wanna do the hard part that comes after that: depicting a healthy, growing, loving relationship, a marriage, life with kids, raising kids, etc. K18 tackles that head-on and it’s precious and wonderful and beautiful. Not pure fluff either, there’s some tension and angst for good measure, but that makes it feel that much more authentic. They’re amazing and I love them to death.
That is one of the reasons why I tend not to read fanfic about Dragonball. With all the “Kuririn is a loser and 18 is cheating because she doesn’t love him” sentiment in the fandom, I simply have to chose peace and blocking is a blessing
There are some great K18 fics out there though. Take this one, for example.
If you read the fic, leave the kudos. Leave a comment too, if possible. Just do it. It takes a few seconds of your time and it means the world to the writer.
Sincerely, me who just got told that my writing feels like watching a blockbuster movie. I don't care if they were sincere or not, I'll be thinking about that comment for the rest of my life and every time I feel bad about my art, I'll remember that someone once liked it.
I really don't understand how "without getting kudos or comments a fanfiction author is going to assume that people who clicked their fic didn't like it" became a controversial take.
I don't know why some people think an author should imagine, or guess that people who click their fic enjoyed it it when nobody is telling them that.
If you're re-reading a fic constantly, or leaving it up in your tab so that it re-loads every day for a hundred days the author is not going to know that unless you tell them. They'd love to hear it. It would make their day.
And if you don't tell them you liked their fic, there's no reason for them to assume you did.
Another lot of Krillin/18 fic recs (previous post here)

I made the cut!
I love that one! Very good reasoning as to why Krillin might've wanted to become an officer, and a very believable reaction from 18 (both upon initially hearing the news and then learning his reasons why <3 also Marron was adorable, but Marron's always adorable xD) Also the one at the police station, was... well... y'know >.>
I've also got your Chestnut Festival anthology bookmarked but I haven't gotten around to reading any of those yet ^^
Heh, thanks. That second one was born from a challenge by @chestnutisland to get out of my comfort zone and flirt with more risque writing. Really hope you like TCF too!
