a writer’s struggle

I raise you:

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

people are always saying “they have should be at the club” about characters who would immediately have a panic attack if even put in the general vicinity of one

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

some people will be like “I wonder why fanfic writers don’t share their works anymore😔” and then this is them when a writer is kind enough to share something they write — as a hobby, for their own enjoyment — with them for free.

some people really don’t realize how privileged they are that they get fanfics for free. imagine having access to something for free because someone is kind enough to share it with you… and then being rude, entitled and an ungrateful pos to that person who was kind enough to share their creation with you for free

“almost 1 year is a lil too much for me” fuck off. fanfic writers don’t owe you anything. one of my favorite fics was updated after 13 years, and what I did is that I thanked the author for choosing to continue the work, I didn’t act like a spoiled toddler by asking why they didn’t update sooner. and even if a writer chooses to abandon their fic permanently with no explanation, that is their choice, their hobby, their decision. they don’t owe your entitled ass anything.

you people let tiktok rot your brains to the point you see everything as content farm and engagement. not a piece of art created by the artist’s love and passion. it’s dystopian.

"I don't like this thing so I'm gonna steer clear of it" -> totally fine, respectable, a normal response

"you should never write/draw this thing bcuz i find it disgusting/wrong and don't want to see it and you're a weirdo loser if you do" -> fuck you, piss off, who died and made you god of fiction

fanfic writers who type their works directly onto ao3 instead of copy-and-pasting from elsewhere have no fear. fear fears them.

[mangomi16]

people...actually write on seperate apps?? that's so extra bro just write it onto ao3 and save as a draft occasionally so as not to lose any writing

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

respectfully, it’s not “extra” (all you have to do is copy and paste).

ao3 literally advises that people copy-and-paste their works from elsewhere and to NOT write directly onto the site.

because unless and until it’s posted, ao3 does NOT back up works for you. meaning if your screen crashes, if the site glitches, if your wifi stops working, or if you lose power — anything — you risk losing the whole thing you’ve written.

sure, you can technically save drafts on ao3 (up to 30 days, if memory serves me right), but it’s still not something most writers do. most writers copy and paste their own works from elsewhere onto ao3 prior to posting (I say this with respect, this is a common sense).

store your works elsewhere, keep them safe, then copy-and-paste them onto ao3 once they’re ready.

I'm not sure you're prepared to witness this extremely mid 2010s book

[anthraxofeffervescence]

The core conceit of Lord of the Rings is pretty funny. You are a twenty three year old in a suburb of Maine. The little bracelet in your grandpa’s attic has an inscription on it that is the password to the world’s entire nuclear arsenal. It is up to you to walk to the only hydraulic press in the world, located in Arizona, before the FBI finds the bracelet, kills you, and enslaves the suburb of Maine you currently live in
