Those little hints at Sullivan's backstory we're having are driving me insane! Like sir, please tell me about the fucked up circumstances that you came from! Why do you used to think that you had no purpose in life?

Tell meee...!

Separation of Church (canon material) and State (fanart and fanfiction) is vitally necessary for the fandom ecosystem

I’m not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but you literally do not have to be a good writer to write and post fan fiction. Yes you will naturally get better at writing and finding your voice the more you do it but you do not have to be or become a professional level writer to enjoy writing and sharing fics. It’s common to hear people praise fic writers by saying their work is better than published books, and while I think this comes from a good place, that’s not the norm or expectation. There is also a sentiment that fic writing is “good practice” for becoming a better writer or doing something else later, but if fic is the only creative writing you ever do that is literally okay. Your technical skill does not mean you cannot have fun and build community with your writing, or that other people cannot love and find meaning in your work.

Fanfiction is a hobby. You are not obliged to improve at a hobby. You are not obliged to monetise a hobby. You - the hobbiest - are not obliged to be on par with professionals.

Turn your back on the insidious whispers of the capitalism mindset and return to posting fics that make you happy and are tagged "srry if thsi is confusing its 3am n i'm high".

(guy who tags every single post as the same exact character) you know who this post reminds me of?

many women are excited to get old and weird, but i have great news that it's fully possible to become weird now, before you get old. just imagine the heights of weirdness you will be able to reach in fifty years if you get started now. that's what I think
