Spiderfan, Parkner shipper, generally clueless

Intro post, or whatever this is

Yeah, I've got no clue what I'm doing. Made this on an impulse, to ramble about my fics (especially as I've just had a major creative breakthrough).

Parkner, Parley, Spiderlad, whatever-you-call it shipper mainly, but I tend not to mind other age appropriate ships. I don't like it, I don't read it, no big deal.

Uhh, most of the stuff I write goes off the rails crazy from the get go. It's all incredibly AU, of the 'everyone has magic or they're a shapeshifter variety'. I'm just sharing my daydreams (and increasingly sleep dreams) with the internet. Or more specifically AO3 and Wattpad. Same difference.

I drew the header image myself (I'm kinda proud of it for a first drawing of any kind in years, ok?) And that's pretty much it, I think.

I kind of suck at tagging, so I made this infographic to help make it easier.

Hey, thanks for making this!  I’ve never struggled with what to put in tags on my fic, but I’ve never been systematic about it, either–I just kind of put whatever.

The categories seem like a really useful way to think about it–not every fic will necessarily have something for each category, but it’s a good framework for either thinking of things to put, or making sure you don’t skip things that would be good to put.

Pros of writing for a smaller tag: work stays on the first page for a while

Cons of writing for a smaller tag: work stays on the first page for a while

[webbingpotatoes]

Having so so so many ideas but so so so little time :(

Creativity is a cruel master, not to mention the beast that is my one shots over on ao3 :( :(

[webbingpotatoes]

Me: I have so many fic ideas!

Sensible part of brain: ok write and post them then

Me: No.

[webbingpotatoes]

Brain be like: what if Peter/Harley/Harry?

And suddenly I've got to completely rewrite my plot, and grumble noisily about how it might be better this way.
