#reading fics

[solarsthoughts]

when i finish reading the most recent chapter of a fic in progress, i do not just “sit around and wait for the next update”. no, i do not “close the page”. and no, i do not “pick something else to read in the meantime”.

i refresh my emails every 30 minutes. and if the email doesn’t come?

I RE-READ THE ENTIRE WORK OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT UPDATE COMES.

when the slowburn is slowburning and you reach the "oh. oh" moment:

Me: “oh yeah! I read for comfort!”

How it actually makes me feel:

i feel so weird

Does anyone get my current mental state

AI writing, man. In this case, I'm not talking about like, "boo, ai writers will get attention and I won't." I'm not talking about my writing rn. I don't care about that.

I'm talking about reading. Trying to follow new people, ai. (no, none of you who are reading this and we are moots)

Trying to read in a different fandom, ai. (no, I'm not departing from OI like on ANY level. I just dabble sometimes)

Trying to venture out or spice up the dash on days off, AIAIAIAIAIAIAIAI

just...is anyone here right now???

Some people I admire a lot have unknowingly reblogged ai. I don't judge you for not knowing! Sometimes i don't know either! I'm just like, ai slop "writers", get your slop out of my online friends' eyeballs

On a productive note, what is your most trusted "is this ai" site/way to verify it as best you can??

(and no i'm not going around policing people. it's just been a lot lately but not in the oi fandom)

The last concubine in jewelry, and that's it, I promise 😆

And someday I'll stop tagging beloved @girlswiththecurls in almost every my post… but no guarantees, sorry 😆😅

I might be a boomer on this one, but isn't Gary Barlow's "Since I Saw You Last" album so good soundtrack for DinCobb 😍
