Silence can be deafening

An odd, eclectic mix of fandoms, current obsessions, and an attempt to balance the dark and the light • she/her, ISFJ, Slytherin, work in progress • Dx- OCD, major depression, bipolar 2, anxiety

Queerbaiting is the practice of hinting at, but then not actually depicting, a same-sex romantic relationship between characters in a work of fiction, mainly in film or television. The potential romance may be ignored, explicitly rejected or made fun of. (Taken from wikipedia)

The Magicians

IS

NOT

QUEERBAITING

So please shut up about it being queerbaiting. Supernatural is queerbaiting. Sherlock is queerbaiting. The Magicians, so far, has had more than six CANON QUEER relationships. Just because Queliot isn’t happening RIGHT THIS INSTANT doesn’t make it queerbaiting. THEY WERE FUCKING MARRIED FOR CHRIST SAKE.

Furthermore? Alice x Quentin is NOT a straight relationship. Quentin is NOT straight. Implying otherwise is outright biphobic.

‘childhood is when you idolize Batman adulthood is when you realize that the Joker makes more sense’ - this is the most Reddit thing I’ve read all day.

#I thought adulthood was feeling bad for all the stupid bullshit commissioner gordon had to put up with  (geologicadept)

[nuttyrabbit]

Childhood is idolizing Batman, adolescence is thinking the Joker is right, adulthood is realizing that Gordon absolutely doesn’t get paid enough for this shit

so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.

Some Important Things to Remember …

1. It’s OK to be wrong.

2. It’s Ok to try again … and again … and again.

3. Don’t be afraid to speak up.

4. Don’t be afraid to enforce your boundaries.

5. Some people really aren’t worth the effort; in the end it’s better to let them go.

6. Not every door will open and offer you a future but it’s still worth knocking, in case it proves worthwhile.

I’ve read/ am reading fic that are upwards to 150,000 - 200,000. You’re telling me that authors that write for fun are writing a full-length book for the fun of it? They have earned my respect 10 fold.

I decided to do some math to satisfy my curiosity, a.k.a. I Wonder How Many Novels I’ve Written Across My Fandom Career.  My current cumulative word-count, according to the AO3 Statistics function, is 2,571,675.

Depending on who you ask and what websites you consult, the average novel is anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000 words.  At the upper average, there are also some 200,000-word monsters out there in the deep (see 3 posts up).

If I use 200,000 words as my metric, I’ve written about 13 novels.

If I use 100,000 words as my metric, I’ve written about 26 novels.

If I use 50,000 words as my metric, I’ve written about 52 novels.

Taking into account my non-fandom published writing, which is a different species of book altogether (i.e. the primary kind of writing I’m known for outside of fandom isn’t prose), I’m actually not sure how much that adds to the count.

TL;DR—keep writing, folks!  It adds up, and clocking words means honing craft.
