Hello CS Fic Writers!
I know some of you, I don’t know a lot of you, and I am one of you. I’ve been writing fanfiction since I was a kid and have been posting them for about ten years.
In the beginning and even now, I have highs and lows as a writer. It can be a stressful hobby. And I have seen so many posts from fellow writers, people who I know are fantastic at their craft, struggling through rough patches or feeling inadequate, whether because of a particular story or just in their skills in general.
Sometimes people will love a thing you wrote and you will wonder why. You’ll think it’s terrible no matter how much people gush over it. Sometimes you will be proud as hell of a story and barely get recognition for it, making you yourself wonder if it was worth all the time and effort you put into it. You will reblog yourself over and over to try and promote your work and it still might not see solid readership. Sometimes you will write fics that someone doesn’t like, for whatever reason. It happens. Not everything you write will necessarily be received well by everyone who reads it. And, just so you know, a couple people disliking your story doesn’t make it a bad story.
But I want to be absolutely clear here: it doesn’t make you a bad writer to have a story with few notes. It doesn’t make your story awful if few people like/reblog it. I know, god do I know, that it can be disheartening and leave you feeling like you’ve somehow failed.
Which is why I have decided to create this blog: CS Fic Promotions.
I want to read your stories, the ones that you feel no one is reading. I want to read the stories you’ve put your heart and tears into, only to feel disappointed when it gets 5 notes and no reblogs, or one comment on FF.net, or a handful of kudos but no bookmarks or comments on AO3. I WANT TO READ THE STORIES THAT YOU ARE PROUD OF. And I want to share them with others so they can read them, too!
So here’s the deal: starting January 17th, I will try to post at least one lesser known fic a day with my personal review of it. I will choose these fics based off of my own personal observations, from asks/messages that I receive from writers to please promote their work, and from readers who wish to see a fic they love get more attention.
DO NOT BE SHY ABOUT ASKING FOR PROMOTION. If you do not want others to know that you asked me to promote your fic, tell me so and I will keep that information to myself. I am serious about confidentiality. Anon asks are on and they will remain that way.
Rules and info for CS Fic Promotions can be found HERE
Please signal boost!
Keep reading
For all the writers out there
On this rewatch of SG-1 I keep thinking about the families of those assigned to Cheyenne Mountain. Like eventually that place has got to get a reputation amongst the Air Force civilians. All the best and brightest being stationed there and never getting rotated out. All the people dying in random "training accidents". People wouldn't know but they would know something was up.
The only Stargate SG-1 reboot I will accept is one set at the same time as the original series but following a random conspiracy nut and their skeptical federal agent partner. Each episode they are on the fringes of events from the show. They dig into it only to come up empty but each time they get closer and closer to the truth. This would build all the way to the Stargate program being revealed to the world.
get yourself a ship that can do both >>>>>>>
Sanditon thoughts
Why yes I did binge Sanditon and have *opinions* Everything under a cut so nobody gets spoiled. Since I'm going to mostly be talking about the last episode... you have been warned.
I just feel the need to point out, with all his faults and motives, Henry Crawford getting William Price promoted is probably the best thing that happens to the Price family in the entire book.
There were thirty-year-old midshipmen in that era. William was watching people get promoted ahead of him over and over. Despite his captains seeming to like him, he isn't moving up. Sir Thomas is likely trying to help (even if it's just to relieve himself of expense), but his interest has done nothing for William. And the whole system runs of nepotism or "interest" which Mr. Price clearly does not have and Sir Thomas doesn't have the right kind.
Henry Crawford goes to London and gets him promoted in a week.
Now William has a real officer position in the navy that pays well. He has broken into the ranks and it's far more possible for him to move higher. Instead of being a financial drain, he has a chance to make something of himself. It's a big deal! William also will have the ability to marry, as he points out himself no one would look at a midshipman.
It's interesting that the two greatest acts of charity in Mansfield Park, bringing Fanny to Mansfield and promoting William, are done by Mrs. Norris and Henry Crawford. No wonder the novel feels like it doesn't have a hero!
Also once William has some more rank he can help his younger brothers along in the profession. I think Crawford helping William is another thing that makes it extraordinary that Fanny turns him down. Getting William promoted is designed to endear Crawford to Fanny. He knows the way to her heart! It also creates a debt, an obligation, and it's clear Crawford hopes he is repaid with her hand.
I love that Fanny is able to say "Thanks for helping my brother, but no thanks." It shows the strength of her character and her excellent judgment.

I was up for a writing award and I didn't make into the final round. So I came on here to read through my "fear is the mind killer" tag. And boy I have a lot of great stuff in there. And also I miss my tumblr heyday of CS and fangirling.
okay tumblr’s exclusion from the twitter social media ban list is hilarious but genuinely we do not belong on there. if a real human person asks “where can i find you on social media” and your choice is a swift death or revealing your tumblr, most of us would simply expire. half of y’all change urls every week like you’re in witness protection. just imagine for one second attaching your wholeass government name to your latest two am clownposting and tell me that didn’t send a cold chill down your spine. the only place i ever want to see the words “connect with me on tumblr!” is on the ao3 profile of an author i’m actively stalking. anyone in the world can follow me except anyone i personally know. antisocial media.
I can't believe that The Librarians has four seasons. Four whole glorious seasons!
Like I knew about the show, I was obsessed with the TV movies. I remember watching the first season and enjoying it (though I missed Flynn for much of it). But somehow in the craziness of the mid-2010's I missed the other three seasons. And that's sad and annoying because I bet the fandom was fun.
But also I'm really glad that I am discovering these episodes right now. Because listen, it's been a year. And this show makes me so happy. Stupid grinning and giggling every episode. It's silly but fun and interesting and well-written. It makes me want to create more and that's exactly what I need right now.
(Also it has unlocked my long-forgotten love of Noah Wyle. I baby duck imprinted on him back when ER was required Thursday night watching in our house.)
Selkie Stories - Ruchi Mhasane
I have this book and it's beautiful. Purchased in Scotland on a trip (and kind of to prove to a critique partner that selkie stories are not only in Ireland).
I can watch no longer in silence. I must complain about you by such means as are within my reach. You’ve ripped out my soul. I am half agony, half hopeless. Tell me not that this is it, that such precious Jane Austen adaptations are gone forever.
I offer you my screenwriting advice with a heart even more desperate than when you almost broke it with the release of the Persuasion trailer one month ago.
Dare not say that this movie is accurate, that this Anne is a stronger protagonist than her book counterpart. I have loved none but her. Pretentious I may have been, annoying and demanding I have been, but always with the film’s best interests at heart.
The book alone has brought me to you. For it alone I sat and watched. Have you not realized this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I would not have waited even ten minutes after turning off the TV to write this, could I have mastered my own feelings, as I think you must have guessed mine.
I can hardly type. I am in every instant recalling something which makes me want to punch a wall. You rewrote Anne as a snarky girlboss, but I can appreciate the nuance of her book counterpart when it would be lost on the Netflix execs. Too horrible, too disgusting adaptation! You do us insult, indeed. You do believe that there is not a single brain cell in your audience. Believe mine to have shriveled up and died while watching this movie, most painfully, in the brain of
-Everyone Watching
I must go, and cleanse my remaining sanity with the 1995 adaptation; but I shall return hither, to laugh at this adaptation with my friends, as soon as I can stomach it. But another sentence of clunky narration, another infuriating wink from this horrible version of Anne to the camera, will be enough to make me cancel my Netflix subscription forever.
2022 books: persuasion by jane austen Alas! with all her reasoning, she found, that to retentive feelings eight years may be little more than nothing.
Alexander standing at the window in S2 is done often enough for BLH to make jokes about it in interviews. But can we talk about the last time we see him at the window? Every single time. He is standing straight as he looks out but the last time.
The last time he is slumped against the frame, exhausted and defeated. He just "did the right thing" he just broke his own heart because "it's better this way" and it's a subtle thing but it just shows the character's emotional state so perfectly.
Did you notice how Alexander apologizing for the garden party was mirrored in the last episode. His first attempt goes rather poorly and leaves them both more upset than before. His second attempt he is more plain but still cryptic. In the first instance, Charlotte easily forgives him, though she still doesn't understand. In the second, she cuts him off and pushes him away. In S3 I hope we see Colbourne develop the ability to speak more plainly and apologize simply.
Mr. Colbourne bet Mrs. Wheatley that Charlotte wouldn't last the week. Is that just because he didn't have faith in Charlotte or does that speak to his own insecurities?
Nobody stays. Nobody thinks the Colbourne family worth putting up with. The pretty, forthright Miss Heywood will be gone just like the rest...
