I think Tumblr and the communities I follow are still relatively sane from the insane world we are in right now. I miss being active and writing but sometimes it's difficult 😂. I also no longer have my Twitter account. I don't remember my password nor the email that was attached to it. Maybe it was meant to be not to be on X.
I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-
like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?
So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?
But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.
It's MY URL.
IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.
THE ONE *I WROTE*.
In *2013*.
And FORGOT ABOUT
BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING
And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like
IT WAS ALL GOOD?
IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??
I'M A GOOD WRITER?????
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈??

This kinda stuff comes around to everyone I suppose, but I just want to vaguely talk about bots or scams in the form of people leaving you comments on your work but they are fake accounts. I guess I am just nice enough, but the way people try to take ur money is interesting, even in the fanfic community. So I know the way to approach artists or writers in the fandom world. Let's say I want to think about a possible commission or I want to engage in fun discourse or I simply want to know someone's opinion as a long standing fan of something, etc, my first priority is just to have fun in the actual interaction and I hope to make friends along the way. And, if there is a collaborative effort that we both agree on....like a fanfic or work of art, we simply enjoy the process of vibing together on the topic of fanfiction we love before anything like exchanging ideas, or supporting each other via commissions happens. Because honestly we all have different tastes and interests, so we want to enjoy fandom how we want to enjoy.
Anyway, anyone approaching you fast and straightforward to do a commission for u or is love bombing your work, and then wants something back, is a troll who wants to take your money etc. Authenticity is hard to fake. It's like there are people in this world that have no real interests to make friends, to share, to love, to engage peacefully, but want to make a quick buck or lie to others about their intentions so they can get something in return. I see it early on now, and I know when someone is not genuine in their interactions in the fanfiction community and beyond.
Be mindful of anyone trying to push you into a commission because they are "interested in your work." Nothing needs to be rushed or shared quickly. Assume it is a bot or a scammer and block, delete and report. I had multiple vague comments left on my fics in the Archive fanfiction community and it's really annoying now when I see one thinking at first that it is a legit comment left by a fan. :(

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing
If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain, here are some ideas:
1. Sprained Ankle
A common injury that can severely limit mobility. This is useful because your characters will have to experience a mild struggle and adapt their plans to their new lack of mobiliy. Perfect to add tension to a chase scene.
2. Rib Contusion
A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult, helping you sneak in those ragged wheezes during a fight scene. Could also be used for something sport-related! It's impactful enough to leave a lingering pain but not enough to hinder their overall movement.
3. Concussions
This common brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment heavily. It can also cause mild amnesia.
I enjoy using concussions when you need another character to subtly take over the fight/scene, it's an easy way to switch POVs. You could also use it if you need a 'cute' recovery moment with A and B.
4. Fractured Finger
A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills. This would be perfect for characters like artists, writers, etc. Or, a fighter who brushes it off as nothing till they try to throw a punch and are hit with pain.
5. Road Rash
Road rash is an abrasion caused by friction. Aka scraping skin. The raw, painful sting resulting from a fall can be a quick but effective way to add pain to your writing. Tip: it's great if you need a mild injury for a child.
6. Shoulder Dislocation
This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation. Good for torture scenes.
7. Deep Laceration
A deep laceration is a cut that requires stitches. As someone who got stitches as a kid, they really aren't that bad! A 2-3 inch wound (in length) provides just enough pain and blood to add that dramatic flair to your writing while not severely deterring your character.
This is also a great wound to look back on since it often scars. Note: the deeper and wider the cut the worse your character's condition. Don't give them a 5 inch deep gash and call that mild.
8. Burns
Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma. Like the previous injury, the lasting physical and emotional trauma of a burn is a great wound for characters to look back on.
If you want to explore writing burns, read here.
9. Pulled Muscle
This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, offering a window to force your character to lean on another. Note: I personally use muscle related injuries when I want to focus more on the pain and sprains to focus on a lack of mobility.
10. Tendonitis
Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted. When exploring tendonitis make sure you research well as this can easily turn into a more severe injury.
This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. This is inspiration, not a thorough guide. Happy writing! :)

Humanity went extinct. However, the supernatural creatures pretending to be human were so good at it that no one realized there were no more humans for over 200 years.
