man, if i had a nickel for every time an ao3 author that i have ADORED and who wrote perhaps my very favourite fic in their respective fandom disappeared from the internet halfway through writing/posting a fic perfectly tailored to me never to be seen again

well i'd have two nickels, but you know how the saying goes

one-liners

1. Sunrise: Her fingers curled, intertwined with his, and as the chilly wind came up from the city she huddled closer into his side and admired the strength in those hands, the gentleness -- a more perfect counterpart to her own virtues, she couldn't even imagine... but then he belched, and Makoto buried her face in Neph's shoulder to muffle the giggles: she was stuck with the vices, too.  

2. Rivalry: Minako honestly couldn't think of it as anything but a long-running competition: which of them would he find prettier, which would he find more clever, which would he find more appealing to cuddle into the wee small hours or fuck silly in the back of a cab, whether golden-blonde hair or strawberry blond was better.  

3. Quip: Bon mots and one-liners were all well and good, but Jadeite was so assured of his superiority in wars of wit with Nephrite, or with Zoisite -- I mean who would try to dig Kunzite with a little shiv-joke but Endy, and he just made dad jokes -- that he never saw it coming when Rei dropped her tac nuke of a quip in response to his bitching about court: "I'm surprised you find it boring when all you ever do is watch decolletage."  

4. Steadfast: Water was her element, fluid and changing and endlessly flexible, and counterintuitively, that was exactly what she needed to match his flickering transformative fire-- nothing else would allow Ami to remain rock-solid and steady, as frustrated by his impulse and vacillation as she was, in her patient love for the intelligence and care  -- the mind and soul and... okay, OKAY the BODY -- of that green-eyed jackass.  

5. Hypothetical: "Yes but /even in theory/," Mamoru insisted, splaying his fingertips across the tabletop as he leaned over it, looking like he was about to shoot a laser cannon of nerdrage at Neil, "given a hypothetical reincarnation where she doesn't even MEET him, OR Usa, and an actively implausible situation -- I mean what the fuck 'stuck in an elevator at the end of the world with her and not wearing any clothes' is not a me thing it's a you thing -- you're /still/ completely and profoundly wrong, because I would /still not fuck her/, that would be like Usako and Kazuo... /spooning/!"

unfortunately my brain IS rotating on a fic concept

MORE UNFORTUNATELY it is almost certainly currently being done by 500 other people

but i cant check bc i don't want to be influenced by other people writing the trope and accidentally borrowing from it but also i don't want to write something that someone else is already doing so i am just sitting here rotating slowly and hoping that eventually words will fall out that haven't fallen out of anyone else's brain yet

someone just commented on a hockey rpf fanned fiction i wrote in TWO THOUSAND AND FOURTEEN asking if they can podfic it, truly there are angels everywhere with those who have eyes to see

pleased to announce that for the first time in a long time i have finished a piece of media and gone to ao3 to find more than 3 fics of the (non canon) ship that i desire out of it

there are ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY TWO, what luxury

and it's an f/f ship to boot, maybe star wars fandom DOES have the juice (they have yet to deliver on my other f/f star war concept but i live in hope)

there comes a time in every fanfiction’s life when the author stares at it and asks the question: is this anything?

i am here to complain about writing fic with british characters, because arse is one of the least sexy words in the english language, but ass is nonsensical in this context and i will not be using it
