Fic authors deserve more credit.

Story time: I started a book about 23 hours ago and just finished it. Also in that time I slept for 10 hours, spent time with family, was at work, etc. Anyway, I enjoyed the book (Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda). But it felt like it flew by, so after I finished I looked up the word count because what are pages? Pages are meaningless. I only function in word counts anymore.

The estimate I found was 58,580. My immediate reaction was “oh, that’s why. That’s nothing!” But what a shitty response. Because no. That’s not nothing. That’s a whole. Damn. Book. An entire novel! And Fic authors regularly bust out 30k, 50k, 100k, 150k words. AND THEY DO IT FOR FREE. WHILE WORKING AND LIVING THEIR LIVES.

So anyway, thank your favorite fic author today because they deserve it. Because they’re amazing. They’re the MVPs.

Some rough word count equivalencies for you, via famous novels, just to give you an idea of what OP is saying:

30k fic = Animal Farm by George Orwell

50k fic = The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

75k fic = Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger

100k fic = To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

150k fic = The Two Towers by JRR Tolkien

200k fic = Moby Dick by Herman Melville

250k fic = Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling

300k fic = A Feast for Crows by George RR Martin

350k fic = Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry

400k fic = Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

I WROTE SOMETHING AS LONG AS MOBY DICK AND I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW

[princesweetpea]

I can’t believe I’ve surpassed Animal Farm.

Holy shit.

This is awesome. With that said, huge appreciation also to fic writers who write shorter fics - 10k, 5k, 1k, 500 words. Because yeah, huge long fics get a lot of love, and a lot of labour goes into them, but the same is true for tiny fics as well. Not everyone is banging out huge great novels, but little ficlets are fantastic and still bring readers a ton of joy.

So if you’re feeling a bit downcast because you can’t write that 50 chapter epic or your latest WIP is “only” 2k and it still took you ages - that’s amazing. Seriously. Not everyone is naturally wordy or prolific. And you can say a ton with just a few hundred or thousand words.

Props to short fic creators - you guys are awesome.

[corancoranthemagicalman]

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe = 38k fic

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory = 30k fic

Of Mice and Men = 30k fic

Breakfast At Tiffany’s = 24k fic

For those writers who discredit themselves because they feel they aren’t writing the novels that others might, you’re still writing a novella, my dears. You’re still putting time, effort, and passion into something. Well done.

(honestly shout out to all fuckin fic writers. You didn’t have to give us shit and still y'all out here living ya best life and doin something you love. Bravo.)

[hectatess]

Damn…. that’s…. eye opening.

Isn’t the longest work of fiction in the English language a Pokémon fanfic?

Some of you need to learn the difference between skinny girls being made to feel insecure about their body from certain people and fat girls being made to feel like their entire life is worthless because of their body size from literally the entire world

Men only want women to feel “empowered” on their terms.

Harley Quinn was always a cool character, but men only started to hate her when she dumped Joker and went with Ivy. Poison Ivy was always awesome too, but when she paid less attention to Batman and focused more on her eco-extremism, they began to hate her too.

They like empowered women as long as their motivations surround men, but the moment they expand their interests beyond men, then they’re useless or “too political.”

[autisticexpression]

I saw a guy on this site who posted a whole essay on how BoP sucked because Harley was “nothing without the joker” and it turned out his girlfriend left him for another woman after seeing the movie.

[positively--speculative]

Oh, that is delightful. Do you have a link?

[slytherinselflove]

Just got home from watching Birds of Prey.

Absolutely loved it.

Was on my way home when l realised that l couldn’t recall a single ass or tits shot, despite shorts being worn by various characters. They just existed and kicked ass without being sexualised.

That male vs. female gaze thing is real.

Would really love recommendations for other films that also deliberately don’t sexualise their female characters.
