come say hi i love to make friends and nerd out
still alive
(press for better quality. have no idea why my edits suddenly made it low qual in the preview blegh)
my favorite book series for ~6 years now !! (albeit, i don't have all the books yet, but i love the main 4) so i made this somewhat lazy thing as a reflection for the type of mood i had during new year's eve. not really excited, but still alive, still making it, still evolving
Fanfic writers, are you okay with people downloading your works to their devices and/or printing your works out (for personal use only) without them asking for your permission first?
I’m okay with both
I’m okay with people downloading my works, but don’t print them out
I’m okay with people printing my work out, but don’t download them
No, I’m not okay with either
They should ask first. My answer varies, depends on each work/*what they ask
Not a fanfic writer
*What they ask = if they want to download the work to their device and/or if they want to print it out

You know, of all the fandom discourse I was expecting to see on my dashboard for the month of August, "a kink meme whose content guidelines are so restrictive that a shot-for-shot remake of a sex scene which appears in its ostensible source material would be against the rules" genuinely wasn't on my bingo card.
"missed all of your vital organs" is such a scathing injury report if that happened to me i would never let the person who maimed me live it down. you had a 1 in 7 chance and more than 50% of my body's surface area to target and you fucking blew it. cope and seethe over my unperforated heart, lungs, brain, liver, kidneys, pancreas, small intestine and large intestine you fucking idiot. you incompetent fool.
This is the part I drew in the relay game played with friends😌
This book is so funny I love it
IT'S DAY TWO!!!!
WE HAVE ARRIVED AND NOW ITS TIME TO CHOW DOWN ON FICS IN THAT NEW FANDOM YOU'VE BEEN EYEING!!! AS ALWAYS REMEMBER TO JUST LEAVE A COMMENT!!!
[staggering to my feet and wiping a single perfect drip of blood from my mouth] i have to get back on my bullshit. no matter the cost
This is the worst timeline. (x)
If you do this with my fics, or anyone's fics, please know I HATE you. I hate you more than every troll comment, every "your writing sucks kys" comment, every "update soon" comment. I hate you. Other authors hate you. If you want my fic, you either WAIT for it or you pay me for it. And if you won't do one of those things, you don't deserve my fic or anyone else's.
All this does is tell me that you don't see me as a person. All I am is a content machine, and if I'm not working fast enough, you'll feed my writing into a different machine and gobble down whatever it shits out for you.
TBF this problem has been growing for a while. The rise of Generative Artificial Garbage simply makes it really, really stark.
Fanfic is meant to be FUN. Fanfic is meant to be CREATIVE. Fanfic is meant to be UNIQUE
But more than anything, fanfic is a love letter. fanfic is meant to be, “I loved this thing so much, I put in my time and energy to create something about it.” But it’s ALSO meant to be “I wrote this for my friends, for my family, for the people that don’t care if it’s good or bad, they love it just for existing.” It’s a love letter both to the source material and to the community. And if someone gives you a love letter that makes you feel warm and happy, you don’t put it into chatgpt so it can spit out a broken replica whenever you want a quick hit of that happiness. What’s the point, when there’s no one on the other side? No one that actually cares or loves? How is that a love letter anymore?
For me, writing is my ultimate self expression, my ultimate form of creativity, one of my biggest joys and the manifestation of my fucking soul. If I share that with you, and you feed it into a paper shredder, just so it can give you more by mashing it together in a freak amalgamation of the original is a huge “fuck you” to me and means you didn’t value anything I made at all.
Not to mention, fanfiction is FREE. These people put their time and care, and sometimes months or years of their free time, into making it, out of nothing but pure love for what they’re doing. And they want to share and connect their passions with their community. Are you so hooked on getting exactly what you want, whenever you want it, that you can’t even WAIT a little bit?
Yeah, I fucking hate you. Go fuck yourself. If you want chatgpt to give you garbage, prompt it yourself; keep my fucking work out the paper shredder.
hate an x reader fic do not put me in a situation
peace and love on planet earth
Happy (belated) tenth anniversary to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt!
I just had to give Geralt the full high ponytail that's on the game cover art :)

Fantasy Guide to Political Structures
A Horse! A Horse! My X for a Horse!
Let's be honest, fantasy authors love their kingdoms and empires. You can throw a rock in a bookshop or a library in the fantasy section and you will 99.99999% hit a fantasy book that will be set in or mention either of those structures. But what are they really? What's the difference between them all? Are there any more examples of structures that would suit your WIP better? Are you using the right terms? Let's have a closer look.
Duchy
A Duchy is a small territory ruled by a Duke/Duchess. While Duchies can be found in kingdoms, some duchies were sovereign states in their own right. Duchies are usually small by land mass but some duchies such as Burgundy were extremely powerful and influential. Independent Duchies were usually apart of a kingdom but grew so powerful that they eventually broke away to become a sovereign state in their own right. An example would be modern day Luxembourg, historic Milan and Burgundy.
Principality
A principality is territory ruled by a Prince/Princess. A principality is typically smaller than a kingdom and in some instances, can be apart of a larger kingdom or be a sovereign state. Principalities have a history of having broken away from a larger kingdom or eventually becoming apart of a kingdom. A principality within a kingdom is ruled by a Prince/Princess, usually an heir of the monarch and can be used to train them up to assume the throne in the future. Examples include Monaco, Liechtenstein and Andorra.
Kingdom
A sovereign state/country that is ruled by ruling King or a Queen. A kingdom is much larger and more powerful than a principality. Kingdoms can be feudal, meaning they are ruled in a strict hierarchy or an autocracy where the monarch rules alone with minimal input from the government or constitutional where the monarch is more of a figurehead and the government has a good chunk of control. Examples include England, Thailand and modern day Spain.
Commonwealth
A Commonwealth isn't a popular choice in fantasy but it is an interesting structure. A Commonwealth in its most basic form is a collection of states that are linked by either a shared culture or history. A Commonwealth can be a politically power or an economic power, with every state allowed to participate as much as they like. Not one state leads the others, it is all one group of equals. A Commonwealth can be a good idea for a group of nations that are more powerful together with them keeping their own independence.
Federation
A Federation is a political structure that is made up of united states or countries that are under a single government but each state is still independent and rules itself. Each state can have different laws, different cultures and economies but they all answer to the single government. Examples include the United States of America.
Republic
A Republic is a territory that is ruled by leaders and heads of state that have been elected on merit and by choice of the people. Republics are not just countries but can also be much smaller areas such as cities. Republics are democratic in nature, with the people having a say in who leads them in accordance to a constitution. There are many kinds of Republic: presidential, parliamentary, federal, theocratic, unitary. Examples of Republics include the Republic of Ireland and the city of Florence.
Protectorate
A Protectorate is a country/region/territory that is independent but relies on a larger, more powerful state for protection either in a military or diplomatic sense. A Protectorate was often used by Empires in order to maintain control over an area without annexing it. There are many reasons a larger state and the protectorate would agree to this, mainly the protectorate is much smaller meaning it is far more vulnerable to attack or it has very little power when compared to other states. A Protectorate allows the territory some power to rule itself but the larger state may feel the need or desire to interfere in the dealings of the territory. Examples of protectorates include the client kingdoms of the Roman Empire like Egypt before its annexation and Puerto Rico.
Empire
An Empire is a collection of nations that are united under one sovereign head of state or government. An Empire is formed by one nation steadily taking control of other nations, either through straight invasion and colonization or acquiring them through marriage and other less violent ways. An Empire is powerful mainly because it can drum up more resources, more influence and more military power. An Empire might impose the traditions, beliefs and culture of its principal nation - the nation that started it all - onto its colonies for better control and feeling of uniformity. Empires never last, that is something to always remember. Empires will eventually fragment due to the vast size and sometimes revolt among the conquered states. Examples of empires include the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire.
