sometimes the moral of the story really is just "you cannot go back and what happened to you is going to be with you for the rest of your life. but it's still going to be okay" huh

someone I follow on the bird app just announced they're starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they're reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic
I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS
I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there's 10,000 other people that will continue...but if you participate in a fic "book club" server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?
the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don't rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit "post"

“First to Wake” ~Rebecaptain Secret Santa for @ohstardustgirl  Prompt: Sharing a Bed Trope (one of my favorites TBH)
It is meee! Your secret santa! I hope you enjoy this my dear! I had SO MANY different ideas for the position and colors and stuff, but this was the final result. I hope that it is to your liking. I’ll try to do a little ficlet to accompany it. I just ran out of time with my birthday and Christmas and stuff! :) Enjoy!

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

Some people in fandom desperately need to become obsessed with something SUPER niche and obscure. Something with like 10 active fans at the very most. Something with only 6 fics if you're very lucky, all but one written by the same dedicated fan. Something where when you do find a fan account, it's been innactive for years. Something that's not available on streaming and its only physical release was never released in your country. Let it humble you.

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.

Gilmore Girls x Leverage x JATP crossover
I'm pretty sure I've asked you about some combination of those, but not all three at once lololol
Oooh Katie you have no idea what you have unleashed.
So @hawkguyhasstarbucks and I have this long-running joke that everyone everywhere should somehow be connected to Stars Hollow.
-Eliot is related to Luke Danes and you cannot tell me otherwise.
-TJ may or may not be Reggie's Uncle. Just based on vibes. (Also in a more canon universe he'd be like: Oh yeah my nephew's playing the Orpheum. No you don't know him, he died 25 years ago but I guess he's back now.)
-Sophie and Nate retire to Stars Hollow because they once got stuck there between jobs and Eliot couldn't help but introduce them to his cousin because Hardison already Knew and else Parker would have broken into his place.
-You know Sophie and Miss Patty know each other from Way Back When.
-Can you imagine how fucking annoying Nate would be at Town Meetings if he wanted to be.
-Luke's parents don't want him to end up like the Town Troubadour while Luke is like: um actually that was my backup plan if the whole rock star thing doesn't work out.
-Reggie's back up plan is for Luke Danes to make him his apprentice. He will not take 'diners don't do apprenticeships' as an answer. HE ALREADY WEARS PLAID HE CAN PUT ON A BASEBALL CAP IF IT HELPS LUKE.
-Parker vs Kirk: ultimate showdown. Either that or she LOVES his movies and like, loudly cheers at the screening when everyone else is silent.
-Alex' parents and Mrs Kim go to the same church. When they kick Alex out for being gay Mrs Kim is like: dancing and rock and roll may get you sent to hell but not loving your child for who they love is worse.
-Congrats Lane you have a white brother now.
-DRUMMER SIBLINGS. DRUMMER SIBLINGS. Lane shows Alex her secret closet and Alex is like: =/ I just came out of the closet thanks.
-Hep Alien vs Julie and the Phantoms friendly rivalry 4ever.
