Hardest part of writing is accepting that some people will not fucking get it & you just have to like cope with that because over-explaining it just makes it worse

[tlirsgender]

I will not over-explain my art to the stupidest people on earth. I'm writing for people who know what I'm talking about. Mantra that will save you. David Lynch was right

The experience of being a fanfic writer for SVSSS.

NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.

The Last Lulla by(e)

Inspired by The Beginning and The End by @quinsvaloria, The Prince of Leaves and Deep Water by @rayshippouuchiha and a conversation I had with @bugbeee

"I loved you since the moment I knew of your existence. I worried for you even before you came into this world. Your presence made me the happiest. A life without you is one I cannot imagine. You are loved. So so loved by me. I will always choose you above all. You were born of a love I thought was never meant for me. You are important and special, for no other reason than because you were born into this world. I love you and I am sorry I can't stay by your side. I am sorry that I cannot protect you from this fate. You never have to forgive me. You were our greatest dream come true. Thank you for being born to me. Thank you for making me your mother. I shall love you in life and in death, until the end of time and to the moon and back. I will Love you Always."

(Ps. Don't mind Kurama flattening Konoha in the background :) )

The truth!! IT BURNS!!!!

[fellshish]

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

[rebornofstars-deactivated202510]

you're falling in the trap!! it will be read by many people, many times, and it will live on in their memories. and maybe no single other human will match you in time spent dedicated to your story, but as a collective we will outlast you. acts of creation only grow when they are shared

[galadriel1010]

This. Writing is not like dinner. It can be consumed many times

[ibelieveinahappilyeverafter]

This has probably been said but the way I had to force myself to understand writing was that it wasn't like making a meal, but it was like making a blanket

Somedays it will only be used once, and briefly, and then tucked away and forgotten about

Other days it will be used for weeks at a time until every pattern stitched in is memorized

And a couple times it will be wrapped around someone and used until the edges are frayed and worn and falling apart and every fibre or string or piece of yarn that was used in it's creation is memorized as something beautiful

Writing isn't cooking

It's creation

Listen, sometimes a ship is less about wanting them to kiss or have sex or whatever, and more about needing them to be so endlessly intertwined and connected to the point where they might as well be one creature.

Bonus: If I buy a book I get to keep it! The publisher can't turn up at my house at random and confiscate all the books I bought.

[srosehh]

people who write fics. how do you feel about comments on super old ones you wrote like 2+ years ago

[thededfa]

I'm on my hands and knees begging y’all to comment. I don't care if you went through my sister's attic and found my twenty year old fanfics in spiral bound notebooks, please comment!!

I don't care if I'm fifty years dead and you find my last work scrawled on the inside of my coffin, grab a psychic and comment!

[what-even-is-thiss]

One of my professors told me recently “You aren’t in the drivers or passengers seat when you write a story. The characters are in the drivers seat and they’ve locked you in the trunk” and I mean he’s not wrong.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Some of you are reading this like you’re supposed to get out of the trunk. No. Frankly, the characters know better than you most of the time.
