Because I have just seen this specific thing for the second time, I would like to say:

If I reblog your art, I do not expect you to reblog (or share!) my fic in return

If I comment on your fic, I do not expect you to comment on (or read!) mine in return

My enjoyment of anyone's work does not come with strings or expectations

My friendship is not a bill that you will have to pay later

That's it!

#the fucking obsession with fandom becoming ~content creation~ has got to stop. this is not a business.#i don't like it when someone acts like i owe them because they complimented my work #and i will never do that to someone else #kindness has to be freely given or it isn't kindness; it's manipulation #this just. makes me feel super gross and it upsets me that it's happened twice #and that both people explicitly stated in their profiles that this is an expectation they have of fandom #you can't form a community by force. that's not how it works.#anyways. rant over. i just want it to be known that i'm not expecting anything from anyone lol #if i talk to you or hang out it's because i want to. i don't want anything from you except you know #kindness and companionship or w/e #bleargh. gonna go play a game or something.#dixeram

Do not apologize for creating! Do not call your work or yourself trash!! You are creating a negative feedback loop in your head by which you are punishing yourself for the very act of making something!

#furrhermore if you often need to seek reassurance from others by telling them over and over that you suck #man consider how you would feel if your friend was always telling you how awful they are #it sucks!!#furthermore*#one of my least favorite fandom things #and in your fic description no less! come on man!#dixeram #fandom critical

share your plans

thanks for the tag @inquisimer! i love a good list c: decided to include non-fandom plans as long as they are creation-focused, but that is a boundary i chose to impose on myself and not (as far as i can tell) a part of this tag game.

Writing Plans

Two secret exchange fics, alike in dignity but not length: one fic to edit, technically only one additional exchange fic to finish writing (I uhhhh already have a few side things that may wind up being gifts for that exchange. too many good requests this year. lots of [redacted] ideas)

I've had a Maria prompt fic on the backburner for several weeks, but will be working on that as soon as this one fic is edited

Lucanis faking his death fic

I have mostly been working on things with deadlines, I actually haven't really been working on many non-event fics for the last month or so. That said, i am also planning on putting in for DAA again when that opens up (it was a fun challenge last year c:) and loosely planning for Rook Appreciation Week (i love all the prompts! i cannot start anything until event things are done! gahhhh!)

Non-Writing Plans

Finished a D&D one-shot for a starter kit for my girlfriend's Ren Faire booth, just need to give it a final pass in case we both somehow missed a typo etc.

Have also been making fancy flower crowns for said booth (i want to buy a really nice ren faire skirt this year if they sell well), will likely sneak in a few more before I leave

Crochet baby blanket for my niece, who is delightful

a painting i started uhhh two months ago and still want to finish

several house painting projects about 3/4 of the way done, at which point motivation ran out/my arms were too short to reach something fiddly. Ideally will finish these too.

tagging @rosella-writes @theluckywizard @greypetrel @pinayelf @layalu if you'd like to share what you're working on!

#almost three weeks on the east coast coming up #i am excited!#but also spring is exchange season and i was reeeally stressed about a week ago #much better now that that draft is finished #i left all the things i would Like to go back to working on bc well. ideally i will but i don't have specific plans yet #lots of embroidery and crafting and stuff of late and less writing except for events #tag game #dixeram

Tag 9 people you would like to get to know better!

Tagged by @rosella-writes, thank you Ro! <3

Last book: Just finished Octavia Butler's Xenogenesis series -- highly recommend anything by her, she's a phenomenal writer!

Last song: "Guiltless" by dodie (Lenore's playlist on repeat)

Last Movie: Starship Troopers for the first time!

Last Series: Currently watching Dimension 20's A Crown of Candy (this is my second shot at it and I've finally gotten to episode four, liking it lots better this time around)

Salty or Sweet: Sweet! Any pastry or pan dulce is my favorite thing.

Coffee or Tea: Coffee, but I also love tea

Currently working on: Combing through some older WIPs and editing and adding to them here and there. I've just started working on Mourn Watch week stuff and I'm really enjoying writing a lot of Lenore stuff again c:

#dixeram #tag game

I planned to finish the other half of the fic about Lucanis's funeral for the last day of MW Week but idk if it's gonna happen in time :/

#dixeram #but i am proud of myself for doing as much as i did #i've just got a lot of writing projects on my plate rn #and i may wind up making it all a longer fic anyway #and idk. i used to get so bummed about low response to my writing and now it's like.#well it's niche and that's okay. i liked writing it and i love lenore #so anyhow. i'm proud of myself on both counts.#spoilers he faked his death

I am making khachapuri right now

#it looks really good so far and the filling isnt even in the dough yet #i am doing this for neve and bellara. obviously #dixeram

If you haven't heard this before, just a heads up: it is good Tumblr etiquette to use a "read more" on longer pieces of fic. Makes scrolling through tags and participating in events more reader-friendly and takes almost no time to do!

#dixeram #personally i am less likely to read fic without a break #and more likely to rb fic with one. but that is just me

Writing about Grief and Lenore and getting emotional 😭

#grief is not her mother #but grief has watched her grow from infancy to adulthood #all the while knowing that whatever their contact it will end as all other mortal things will #and grief will persist. grief always does. and grief will never forget her #so in a way lenore will never be gone #to be remembered by the spirits is to never be lost #and isn't that its own sort of immortality?#dixeram
