writing fanfic more like:

  • have I used that word recently *ctrl + f* shit
  • “are you still working on that fic?” last edited: 24th January 2005 “haha of course”
  • that feeling when someone comments
  • planning a fic down to the words you’ll use without anywhere to write it down and getting home and remembering none of it
  • it’s just a fic no one will care about inaccuracies *spends four hours researching a 2000-word one-shot*
  • grammar
  • *sees word in advert* yes that’s a good word I’ll remember that word *never uses word*
  • my last four fanfics are centred around this character and while it means their characterisation is perfect, people are yelling at me
  • “oh you write? can you name a character after me” “ummm”
  • is that a real word *red line appears* well why isn’t it

Kids for the love of god stop putting depreciating little notes in your summaries on ao3.

  • if u tell someone something is,bad nine times out of ten, they’re going to believe you without looking at it
  • not to say “do as i say not as i do” but if you wouldn’t put up with behavior like what you’re doing to yourself if someone did it to your friend THINK REAL HARD ABOUT IT
  • YOU LISTEN TO ME. ITS NOT “AN AU NOBODY ASKED FOR”, ITS “I HAD A GREAT IDEA FOR AN ORIGINAL AU (or take on an AU lmao Shakespeare wasn’t original either) SO I WROTE IT.” HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY SOMEONE WHO IS HAVING A SHITTY DAY AND LOVES DOG GROOMER AUs. YOU JUST MADE THEIR DAY.

Vodka Auntie out OH PS if your mom is shitty or otherwise unavailable on Sunday for mothers day come hang out in my ask box

  • “I couldn’t think of a summary” JUST COPY THE FIRST COUPLE LINES OF YOUR FIC INTO THE SUMMARY BOX AND YOU’RE DONE. IT’S MAGIC.
  • “Don’t read this” keep it on your harddrive until you’re brave enough to own your work, or post it anon. 
  • “Just another ___ AU” look, it’s fanfic, everything is variations on a theme. Your variation is as legitimate as anyone else’s. 
  • “Please don’t hate me!!” just repeat six important words to yourself when this insecurity pops up: fuck you if you don’t like me.
