Hello!

I'm Talanashta, age 28, they/them pronouns.

I've been writing fanfiction for 15 years now, but I switched to this pseud about 5 years back. I've written for a variety of fandoms, but my current main fandom is Phineas and Ferb.

If you're interested in seeing more than just my fanfiction, you can check out my website! I've written a micro-TTRPG which is published there, as well as my blog and my rec lists.

You can find my dividers/graphics/etc on my side blog. I've since deleted this 😔 Sorry

Blanket permission is given on all of my works to do podfics, translations, art, remixes, fanfic of fanfic, etc with them.

Literally cannot emphasize enough that my #1 writing advice is to stop being afraid. Stop being afraid of sounding too cringe, or too stupid, or too horrifying, or too horny, or too weird, or too much, or too little, or too you. You need to put your entire pussy into your art. Sure, it won't be to everyone's tastes, but if you keep yourself to the blandest tamest safest roads possible you will be of no one's tastes, not even yours.

things that always make me happy: serial commenters. there are three types

1) reading a longfic chapter by chapter, leaving an increasingly emotional comment on every chapter, descends into keysmashes near the end: outstanding

2) read one fic by accident, clicked the author name, now working steadily through the backlog and commenting on everything, I wake up to an AO3 inbox full of enthusiasm: precious beyond words

3) the longterm serial commenter whose comment begins with I don’t even know this fandom but because they have followed me from somewhere else: stunning. humbling. magical.

these are all *chef’s kiss* and I want to add one more: 4) left a comment a while ago, comes back and leaves another comment on the same fic, telling you that they’re coming back to reread the fic: angels. blessings. lifesavers.

[stonelionhearts]

i think as a writer, the older you get and the more you read, the more you realize there are very few actual truly bad ideas. which is a relief. but! the other thing you learn is that stories live and die on the execution and ha ha. lemme tell you. unfortunately. there are lots and lots of bad ways to execute an otherwise fine idea

We all got that one mutual that be going through the most treacherous situations a person could endure and then posting a few minutes later about why such and such should get fucked through a concrete wall.

[the-quasar-hero]

Mutual: my situationship partner just got caught in a tornado at a broken glass factory where they were cheating on me with my landlord who just increased my rent by 6000% and my pet marmot has a disease so rare they’re naming it after him and all my bones are becoming apricot jelly which I’m allergic to.

Same mutual 16 minutes later: Do you think Ronald McDonald and the Burger King ever explored each other’s bodies?

[bewilderedbunny]

that guy from that show sure has done a number on me

[fellshish]

“that character wouldn’t say i love you” skill issue. put them in a maze of highly specific saw traps catered to their individual traumas and issues. any character can be broken on the rack of your writing

[motherwife]

i wont hatepost but sometimes it does feel like this to scroll fandom tags

[redjennies]

okay you know those posts that are like "this male character archetype would be better as a woman"? you know what we need more of? female loudmouth braggart hero antagonists. women who are cocky and comedically vainglorious and beloved by the public and also objectively suck so fucking bad. I'm not kidding. I don't care how sexist the audience would be about that. I want to see a woman who should be played by whoever the female equivalent of Nathan Fillion is.

[transcyberism]

no one ever did it like her

[asynca]

Write that one-shot. Those 3 chapters will be the best 10 chapters you ever wrote

[callmehopeless]

[h3xt0r]

We need more ships where it's romantic for one half and platonic for the other and both parties are aware and ok with this

[c-rowlesdraws]

every time…

Some Gremlin is best

"youve already written that trope" yesss. i like it a lots. i will be writing it again. 1000 stories of the same trope over and over again for ten million years
