does anyone else ever think abt how chosen likes to pounce on things like a fox

Here’s my kofi link if you’re interested in commissioning me!

Here it is!!!

The wonderful @aatticsaltt contacted me and helped me work out a new listing for mini-comics! Sort of a first for me. Working on this was wild, but rewarding! Figuring out the setting, background-character designs, and smaller details was a super fun learning experience.

This is a comic based on the first chapter of this support!deku fic, which I highly recommend you read if you want a good slow-burn! The first chapter is possibly my favorite, starting the story off with great imagery and consistently good characterization. There are a lot of feel-good and funny moments throughout the fic, as well as some absolutely gut wrenching scenes (and many more of both to come). Please check it out!

And just as a side note about Salt: I’m so grateful to have been given the opportunity to work with her and have her as a friend. It’s been an incredible pleasure.

do u ever reread ur own fics after posting them?

as a writer, I always feel weird about rereading my own work but I find a lot of satisfaction in it bcuz it's like !!! woah I wrote that!!! (and also sometimes I write such obscure ideas it's the only content I can find😭😭)

I'm just kind of curious what other writers do :)

sometimes! not that often. after publishing a fic i usually go "blergh" then park it for like. 3+ months. and then come back to it and read it through my fingers, and then realise it wasn't actually that bad.

i usually do a skim after posting to see if i catch any weird SPAG things or word repetitions (which tend to sneak in even despite my best efforts and amazing beta readers sometimes). but after that i tend not to re-read!

as a writer, I always feel weird about rereading my own work but I find a lot of satisfaction in it bcuz it's like !!! woah I wrote that

absolutely you should celebrate this feeling 💛. fic is an area we can play and be self indulgent and unapologetic about the joy! i think there are a number of people who don't read their work back, and an equal number that do.

going to have a black coffee and essay writing kind of night i fear

I really wish people who asked for instructions how to do a thing didn't also feel the need to explain why they need the instructions because I'm super happy to tell anyone how to filter stuff out of their ao3 search results, but so often I end up uncomfortable or insulted or taken aback when I could have been saved that reaction if the person had just stopped talking after asking their question.

Good: Can you help me filter out stories that are shorter than 3000 words?

Not-so-good: Can you help me filter out stories that are shorter than 3000 words because I hate short fics and half the time the people who write them are really bad and I just get really annoyed when I have to scroll past them all the time

I love short fics and I encourage people to write them and I love writing them myself. You really didn't need to insult me (unknowingly) to my face while asking me for a favour, y'know?

Anyway, if you want to filter out fics that are shorter than 3000 words, use the Search Within Results box at the bottom of the filters menu and type in words>3000
