You are not a failure because you haven't had a relationship yet. I know it's hard because we see people in love/in relationships everywhere and society wants you to believe it's all that matters in life. It's not, it's only a nice bonus. I'm sure you are a wonderful and loveable person. ❤️

And if it helps, there is no time limit on falling in love. :)

Thank you, anon, this is very kind of you to say. I really do appreciate it. 💕I need to keep telling myself this more.

remember when benny was tied to the chair and he sang "my girl's p*ssy" at top volume? god i lived.

I ascend every time I think about/watch that scene. It’s magical, hilarious, and one of the best uses of saying the word p*ssy on tv.

*hugs you tightly*

Thank you so much, anon. 💕

Questions for Fanfiction Writers

1. From one to five stars, how would you rate your writing? (No downplaying yourself!)

I’d give myself about 2.5 stars. I definitely have a lot of room to improve, but I’m not terrible.

19. Do you prefer canon-compliant, AUs, or something in-between?

Really it depends on the mood, but I generally prefer something a bit in between. I like using canon but not following it strictly to the letter because I find that too limiting. It’s a lot more fun to bend the rules and blur the line between canon and AU’s. 

35. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!

It bugs me that comments only seem to happen within the first 72 hours of fic (at least for me). Usually whenever I post a story I’ll get 99% of my comments within the first 72 hours of a story first being posted and then it’s complete radio silence. Kudos I get more frequently which is amazing and awesome, I just don’t get why comments just dry up. Is it because people think that the fic is to old to comment on or something to do with the fic just appearing lower in search results/tags because newer ones get posted? I don’t know, but it’s been like this for years and I’ve always wondered why that is.

Nosy* not Nosey

I appreciate the correction, anon, but it can be spelled both ways. I’ve always spelled it with an ‘e’, it’s just the way I was taught. :)

You know I want to ask about the Lanskiano, but I’m going to ask about Richie losing his shit over the tiny shorts instead. 😘

But you already know everything about the Lanskiano fic 😂❤

But yes, here's college Reddie WIP

The day Richie Tozier died (again) began as a pretty mundane one. It was a Thursday in mid-April, sunny, the chilling bite of winter had finally left and the university students were looking forward to the warmer weather. It also meant more time for the track and field team of the university to spend more time outdoors for practice. Something that Richie always has a keen interest in attending. Purely for scientific purposes, you see, as he's collecting research for a private study about his boyfriend, Eddie Kaspbrak, and his athletic abilities. And how said boyfriend looked while showing off his athletic abilities.

 Yes, Richie was a very serious scientist. He tried to attend as many practices as he could and so far had not missed one track competition, even if it was out of state. Eddie had always insisted it wasn’t necessary for him to come out for every meet, but Richie wouldn’t have it. Eddie thrived in track and Eddie thrived knowing that Richie was there to love and support him. For Eddie to be where he was now compared to a few years ago was nothing short of a miracle. And Richie, despite him denying it all, had a lot to do with helping Eddie get to that point.

And

Richie and Eddie didn’t complain they actually preferred the cramped attic space away from the others. It was their private sanctuary where they could safely be who they really are. They made the room their own, posters of graphic novel series and bands were put up, their favourite tokens from home put messily onto shelves, even a small stuffed bear that Richie still couldn’t part with made the university journey. He had to turn it to face the wall each time he was balls deep inside Eddie because such things were not meant for stuffed animals eyes.

Thanks, bb. 💕

35 for the fanfic ask

Questions for Fanfiction Writers 

35. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!

I know that I’m just going to be repeating what so many fic writers have said already but comments are gold for us and feed us. Each time I get a comment on one of my fics just picture a wiggly and happy puppy and that’s basically what I’m doing when I get a notification. I know people can be shy or don’t know what to say, but even just an ‘I loved this!’ or ‘I love these charaters/pairing/situation’ or even just ;alskdfjaoiwej;asdfj with an emoji is amazing. It doesn’t have to be huge wonderful essay dissecting the work, just knowing you’ve read it and enjoyed it enough to comment is amazing. It really does give fic writers confidence and helps us produce more.

When people say ‘when are you going to write/update xyz?’, well commenting will help with that. It helps keeps the momentum of the work on track.

Also, as it’s always mentioned this is all done for free so a comment is like leaving a ko-fi/coffee on a fic only without using money. :)
