99% of fanfiction is absolute dogshit bathwater and that’s beautiful, I love that, I love that the barrier for entry is nonexistent, I love that anyone can do it, I love all the badly written porn, I love that it’s just creation for creation’s sake, I love it. Except when it’s something I’m into. When it’s something I’m into, then I’m gonna need everyone to step it up.

At her very core, she is a scientist. Her experiments, her life’s blood. And she shall live and die as a scientist if that’s the last thing she'd do.

The same guidelines would apply, with the two main differences being that the collection would remain open for only one month and there would be a short prompt list provided that people could choose to use for additional inspiration.

would you be interested in participating in the horror collection, October edition?

yes!

illustrations for a poem I wrote called The Invisible Palace about a kidnapped princess and her best friend's attempt to rescue her.

I dream to see it published someday 🫥

katniss is given grace for being a seventeen year old girl thrown into war (as she should!), but gale is never given any grace for being a seventeen year old boy who suffered the exact same way she did all his childhood and then chose to walk into the fight for whatever he had left. gale didn’t have a cinna or an effie; he didn’t see capitol people growing to care for katniss, he saw them walking her to a death match and then dolling her up as a child bride who got pregnant at seventeen. he had three younger siblings and a mother to take care of, he was hunting way before katniss. he’s the revolutionary people want katniss to be when in reality her story is about the effects of war on innocents.

I was talking with the gf about booktok tonight and explaining what I see as the deterioration of writing in that environment, in that people are no longer interested in crafting narratives across a piece. the priority is to include as many snappy and quotable lines as possible. in reality, a well constructed story has very few quotable lines (if any) because all the writing is working to support a larger narrative goal and the individual sentences either don’t make a lot of sense or don’t have the same impact without context. and I think it’s fine to have writing that orbits around quotable lines! there’s nothing wrong with that! but what bothers me is when people uphold that type of work as good writing, because it’s not. “good writing” is subjective, yes, but I think we can all agree that what makes a piece of writing good is if it can convey a story or not, and if you’re jumping from quotable line to quotable line, it’s almost impossible to convey a story effectively.

methink katniss would do something similar to hazelle. possibly even work with her if the opportunity presented itself

ooh, like washerwomaning? Katniss and Hazelle get along really well, there’s a lot of respect there. it’s something that Katniss could support her with and also have a flexible schedule that allowed her to hunt so I could see that!

"Accusations of rape ruin men's lives and careers."

You only have to look at how many footballers who have rape accusations against them that happily represent their countries in huge tournaments like the World Cup without anyone really giving a shit to see what bollocks that is.

Women are rarely taken seriously, rarely believed, rarely stood up for, especially when their abusers are rich and famous.

[queer-scots-geordie-dyke]

2026 FIFA World Cup players who’ve been accused of rape and/or physical abuse:

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Achraf Hakimi (Morocco), Thomas Partey (Ghana), Gonzalo Montiel (Argentina), Thiago Almada (Argentina), Junya Ito (Japan), Kaishu Sano (Japan), Ryan Mendes (Cabo Verde).

At least one of these men, Thomas Partey, is currently actively awaiting criminal trial on seven charges of rape and sexual assault but was still able to play at one of the largest sporting events in the world.
