most tragic thing about wanting to see more stuff of your oc is that the c is o and YOU have to make the stuff. devastating. why can’t art of my beautiful baby just appear in my hands. just materialize under my pillow, like from the tooth fairy

Imagine how many great, weird, awesome stories would exist if writers actually wrote instead of scrolling on tumblr

the author’s barely disguised love, joy and passion that they have for the characters, writing and their stories

(memes i made myself btw but idc if anyone steals them cus that’s what they’re there for🙂‍↕️)

[writingdose]

insane to me how, to some people, this is not a common sense

[catchafalling-star]

reblogging twice because omfg

You wouldn't (and shouldn't) email an author or directly tell them to their face about how much you hated their work - so why do it to fanfic authors? The amazing thing about fanfic is that anyone can do it. Write what you wanna read YOURSELF

[melhyan-writes]

Excuse the sarcasm (not), but I genuinely thought this was common knowledge. Apparently it’s about as common as common sense, which is to say… not very.

Fanfic etiquette reminder that just because an author adds side characters, explores dynamics, or ships something you personally did not click on the fic for does NOT mean this is now an open bar to go complain in their comments or, Gods forbid, their ask box on Tumblr.

You can simply not engage with that part. Or stop reading. Both are free.

Also—gently, kindly, and with the energy of someone holding a flashlight under their chin—public bookmarks are public.

I know. Shocking. Groundbreaking. Call the scientists.

Which means… we can see the notes. We can see the comments. We can see the “ratings”.

All of them. In HD. With our own two eyes.

Yes, even the “this was good until—” ones. Those do, in fact, reach the author. Incredible how that works! Can you imagine??

Have thoughts, that’s fine. Just maybe don’t deliver them like a Yelp review directly to the person who made the thing for free, with their own time and own energy.

Basic courtesy is still a thing. Don’t be an asshole.

Sincerely, A writer who has absolutely read “this was good until this character (Connor) got shipped with that character (Daeron)—” in real time and had to sit there like 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️

finishing project hail mary has me yearning to write something hopecore/friendship is magic

does anyone have any recs for reading?

[scythetypes]

Have gotten in some really good writing sessions in. My 'daily' goal is 500, but each time I've written in the past couple of weeks since finishing college I've been managing over 1k

So happy with that 😌

[scythetypes]

I can't wait till I have the energy to write again 😣 all of my energy has been on uni rn and ugh

[scythetypes]

I see some ppl use the 'oh but they're a complex' as some sort of gotcha moment or argument ender when someone doesn't like a character or has a problem with how a character is written. As if that absolves the character of being criticised full stop. Like we can still acknowledge that this character is supposed to be complex, and yes, I still don't like them

sometimes characters are supposed to just be not liked by everyone/ are there to encourage conversation. its okay

I also only ever really see this happen with female characters too. Its completely fine to love a female character thats also a cunt. I have my fair share, but I can still acknowledge and understand why other ppl wouldn't like them, without just shouting,'They're complex!'. Sometimes, they're not even complex, and thats okay too

finally found this image. It expresss how I feel evertime I draw ship art perfectly

“What if this one plot point didn’t happen and it completely changed the trajectory of the characters lives and pushed them to their limits, wouldn’t that be cool?” Hey babe what if the first draft was DONE

[tokkibean]

"work in progress" is actually so misleading like it assumes that im actually making progress on my work

[paperplateprose]

i could conjure ten billion words out of thin air for some complete bullshit that will rot in my notes app and never see human eyes again. then i pull up my draft and. The
