Honestly we need to stop being ashamed of saying we like fanfic in public. Let the post-postmodernism in. It's ok. You fucking love this cringey shit. It's fine. It's so good it crushes your insides to think about. Brilliant.

What if AO3 was a beautiful goddess who we all worshipped and sometimes she vanishes into the aether for months at a time and we all immediately congregate in the Tumblr Hall to lament and create art and humour to try and bring her back

“While many people think fanfiction is about inserting sex into texts (like Tolkien’s) where it doesn’t belong, Brancher sees it differently: “I was desperate to read about sex that included great friendship; I was repurposing Tolkien’s text in order to do that. It wasn’t that friendship needed to be sexualized, it was that erotica needed to be … friendship-ized.” Many fanfiction writers write about sex in conjunction with beloved texts and characters not because they think those texts are incomplete, but because they’re looking for stories where sex is profound and meaningful. This is part of what makes fan fiction different from pornography: unlike pornography, fanfic features characters we already care deeply about, and who tend to already have long-standing and complex relationships with each other. It’s a genre of sexual subjectification: the very opposite of objectification. It’s benefits with friendship.”

On how I lost you and how I keep trying to get anything back

I think the day will come, somehow. One day I'll get up, look out of my window and the world will seem less scary. The next day, it will be scary again. One day I will look outside and see children playing. The next day I won't see anything. One day. I will kiss someone. And I will cry. I'll feel embarrassed, guilty. I will apologize. On another day. Who knows how many days in between. I will find that touching another person is not a crime, not treason, nothing but what it is: me. Me and another. Me and another, because I deserve to have another. Because I deserve to have many. Because I'll feel worthy of company, of having someone by my side, to show me that the world can be beautiful. Ah, yes, and also disheartening. One day I'll look outside, and I'll see not the good or the bad or the scary or the safe. One day I'll look outside and see colours. And see day and night and sunsets and sunrises and the exact moment when the sun kisses the horizon. Someone will say: Oh, look. It's daytime now. And I'll think quietly. No. It's not daytime. And it's not the night. And I won't feel scared of the in-betweenness.

i love when tragedies are like “the love was there. it didnt change anything. it didnt save anyone. there were just too many forces against it. but it still matters that the love was there”

anonymously tell me what my specialty as a fanfiction writer is

[fanonical]

write bad fanfic. write mediocre fanfic. write fanfic that a thousand people before you have already written. write niche fanfic. write fanfic that only a few people will read or understand. write fanfic just for you. write fanfic just for a friend. write ocs. write self-inserts. the fact that you’re taking the time and energy to put your ideas into the world is amazing and people who shame you for it need to find better ways to spend their time.

Sometimes self-care is thinking about Sirius Black. Sometimes it is thinking about James Potter. Sometimes it is thinking about Sirius Black fucking James Potter.

Tbh I think fandom generally needs to get better at sitting with the uncomfortable fact that a story/fanwork/meme/whatever can hurt one person and help another

[sensicalabsurdities]

This is why I think “tag warning” culture is kinder and more constructive than cancel culture / “no problematic content” culture. One size does not fit all, but if we learn to be more aware of the fact that the same thing can be emotionally validating or cathartic to one person and upsetting to another, and pick up a general mindset of thinking before we post, “what might people need a heads up for in this content?”, we grow more compassionate, more thoughtful, and more understanding of the differences in people’s experiences.
