golf is the truly evil sport. saying you want any other sport eradicated is a lie we should all want to destroy the golf industrial complex
Every time an author reassures readers that the smut is skippable I sigh a disappointed sigh. This is not a reassurance. Why would anybody who likes smut want to read smut that was only included as an afterthought and has no impact on the narrative? Insulting. Just don't write it at all if you're not going to make it matter.
You'll be minding your own business watching the x files and then bam. Gillian Anderson prettiest woman on earth. okay now back to the aliens impregnating zoo animals
i love the buzzing sound of electricity running through the wires
I think fanfiction as a medium is different enough from mainstream literature in the tools it offers writers that it's a shame that it's not talked about more often. And it's not me saying "fanfic is better than books xD" because that sort of mindset is a symptom of people who aren't particularly well read in either medium. I'm just speaking of like... The little things you get to do with a fanfic that you genuinely can't really do in an original story.
I had a big fanfic in a previous fandom where one of the big reveals was the involvement of a kind of infamous villain, whose presence was built up to and foreshadowed through the whole fic until his reveal without ever mentioning his name, so that the name drop would be a gut punch. It worked especially well because of who the villain was and his presence in that fandom space specifically (it's very complicated) and if it was an original story this reveal wouldn't work at all the way it was written in the fic. Because if you don't have a predisposition to think about that character and his relationship to the hero in a very specific way, then just seeing their name won't do much to you; the reveal and the recontextualisation it pushes upon you hinges on your previous knowledge of the source material.
I think it's an interesting tool fanfic authors are given. One of my favorite fanfic of all time is partially a re-imagining of its source material's canon, and something it does is introduce antagonists much earlier in the story or deepen npcs' stories. It then works to evoke a tragic irony that again wouldn't work if you didn't know the source material, and it's something the author obviously has a lot of fun with.
You could call it cheap or a crutch and I mean, yeah, sure, it is a little bit: the fanfic relies on previously established emotional bonds and stakes to achieve its goal, and in some cases it saves the author from having to 'properly' build up its stakes. But I think it's INTERESTING that it has that tool at its disposal. I think it's a fun thing to play with and I think these built in expectations and emotional bonds are especially why I find story driven aus in particular to be fascinating in the amount of ways you can play with them. You know??
mikey misa on the phone to dicky: should i bring my white, cream or eggshell golf shoes to vancouver. or just be safe and bring all three

macklin in the grouse grind parking lot pulling his too teeny shorts from his asscrack: oh my god aiden—AIDEN hit the gas GO that kid saw us im not getting out again [pulling the strings of his hoodie until it curls around his face, slinking deeper in the passenger seat] go go go dont roll down the window no! fuck you fuck you—hey whats up dude. you want a pic? yeah of course no problem. thanks bye…. [rolling the window up] fuck you fuck off. GO just go
will in lexington holding rigneys front paws making him dance to pharrells “happy”: mom look at this
that being said I'm not actually always opposed to conflict free fluff I am just opposed to the characters having their claws filed down for it. you can stick them in a coffee shop au it should just still feel like you sat the two worst most insane people on earth in a starbucks
