When someone says “I’m gonna write for fun”, they actually mean “I’m going to mentally torture myself”.

Bless having a best friend like @h34rt1lly who can walk me through the differences in posting to FFN vs AO3. What. A. Switch.
Trying to avoid getting burnt out on my fnaf fanfic so I was thinking of a Batman fanfic… burnout is inevitable.
Anyway, I can’t stop laughing at a scene where Tim brings fc to the manor for (insert plot reason) and Dick comes out to meet them.
Dick: “Hey Timmy, I didn't know you were bringing your girlfriend.”
Alfred: “It's more serious than that, Master Dick.”
Dick holds his face and gasps dramatically: “You’re married!?!”
Me, writing a spinoff of an au of a rewrite: *pencil go brrr*
My brain: *new story idea*
Me: “Not right now.”
Brain: *plot point for story*
Me: “Gimme ideas related to the current work.”
Brain: >:(
Me: “Don’t make me do it, don’t you dare.”
Brain: >:(
Me, opens a new doc and types a sentence before mind goes blank: “God dammit ya made me do it!”
Getting back into writing but your brain is a drawer of folders with story ideas be like:
“Oh yeah, I remember that idea.”
“I still don't have the skill to write that.”
“That story is too long.”
“I don't even know how to start that one let alone end it.”
“Why did I want to write that?”
“Same story, different fandom.”
“Are there any stories that aren't fanfics?”
*picks up thin folder with 5 pages of notes and a 3-page attempt at a manuscript* “Ah.”
Any excuse to celebrate is a good one! kjx
Writer questions that would get me on some kind of Govenment watch list
1. “Can you poisen someone with a common household product?”
leading to...
“Can you kill someone with soap?”
Yeah, I’m sure there are some very concerned govenment agents thinking I’m planning a harm/ murder of a person, not a character.
also
2. “How badly can orange oil burn someone?”
Like orange oil added to a bathtub.
