“Fan fiction is a way of the culture repairing the damage done in a system where contemporary myths are owned by corporations instead of by the folk.”

— Henry Jenkins (Director of media studies at MIT)

LOUDER PLEASE.

Reblogging again

Good point.

Saw a commercial that said “without the letters A B and O there’d be no you”

It was about blood types

As someone versed in fanfic tagging, that’s not the first thing I thought of

This needs to go with the deli sign that asked, “how do you top your sub?”.

Steve: I thought you were dead

Bucky: I thought you were a twink

I was listening to an art podcast and I heard someone use “creative hibernation” as a term to describe a period of time when your creative energy and flow of ideas is slowing down.

Honestly, it sounds so much better than “art block”. To me, “creative hibernation” sounds less like a negative thing and more like an organic part of the creative process.

“Art block” sounds very definite. They sound like something you MUST actively fight against to break them down in order to continue. “Hibernation” on the other hand sounds more like a thing that happens every now and then but that will go away on its own when it’s time. It’s a stage of gathering energy for the next creative pursuit. Art block on the other hand is an artificial, mental block that actually just seems to solidify the more you treat it like an obstacle to get around.

All creative people go through this type of slowing down all the time and it is completely alright. I thought I would share this because I think the right kind of mentality is actually one of the most important things of recovering your creative energy.

kirk/spock meet as kids rec set

Are you in the market for stories where Kirk and Spock meet as children and grow up together, becoming friends, brothers, and lovers over a period of many years? Then you’re in luck. Here are some of my favorites in the genre. Arranged by bigness of size. Some may contain sexual activity between minors. Adventure Is Out There, by Straight_Outta_Hobbiton and notfreyja | AOS | Teen | 12,922 words | Part 1 of Doubt The Stars | Jim is just the average, everyday, Starfleet-brat boy genius. His time is split between the mostly-Vulcan engineering crew and raising hell on the rest of the ship. If anybody (including Jim) knew the details of what occurred during his first trip to Vulcan, they wouldn’t be surprised. I Will Have This, by orphan_account | TOS | G | 15,541 words | Part 1 of T'hy'La | Just as she finished adding a small box of sweets to her items, she felt a tug on the sleeve of her robe. Turning, she had a smile prepared, and a praise on the tip of her tongue for whatever item her son had chosen. That turned into a sharp gasp when she realized that carefully ensconced in her son’s arms was not any item for sale in the shop, but a very human baby. “Mother, I will have this.” Gift, by littlebirdtold | AU | Explicit | 30,886 words | Spock gets a small golden-haired, blue-eyed creature as a gift from his father (except he doesn’t). The creature speaks in his nurse’s Secret Language, appears to be convinced that Spock is an “elf” and calls itself “Jim.” Utterly fascinated, Spock decides to keep it. Foundations, by notboldly | AOS | Mature | 44,819 words | Amanda only wanted what was best for her son, and after Sarek’s death, she was certain that Vulcan was not it. However, she had never expected it to be Iowa either, or rather, a poor little boy from Riverside. Magpie, by waldorph | AOS | Explicit | 57,648 words | Spock met Jim when he was 7 and Jim was 6. It has since been generally agreed that this was a mistake (or: the one where they grow up together and things are simultaneously better and worse for it). In Time, by yeaka | AOS | Explicit | 58,732 words | Winona Kirk is leaving, and Spock makes the ‘perfect’ caretaker. (Until Jim grows up, and everything changes.) Refuge, by ThereBeWhalesHere | TOS | Teen | 70,138 words | In a less powerful, less united Federation, Romulus takes an opportunity to attack Vulcan and Federation planets begin taking in Vulcan refugees. One of these refugees, a young Spock, stays with the Kirk family on their farm in Iowa. Everyone thinks it’s temporary, but after a few years Earth becomes as much a home to Spock as Vulcan ever was, and the Kirks—especially Jim—become family. The Sum of Both of Us, by spicyshimmy | AOS | Mature | 207,623 words | Jim Kirk is nine when a massacre on Tarsus IV leaves him without a family and without a home. Spock is twelve when a strange boy in the desert saves his sehlat. Families aren’t born; they’re made. The Promise, by coffee666 | AOS | Explicit | 207,872 words | As children, Jim and Spock promised they would get married when they grew up. Jim thought it was just a silly joke between kids. When they meet again upon the Enterprise, Spock still expects Jim to fulfill that promise.
