Fanfic tiktok is wild... I see so many people saying shit like "I could never read anything below 60k!!", or "What story can you even tell in under 5k words?" or "A oneshot below 10k isn't even a story!" or "I always filter completed fics by 100k< only!"
And I'm like...
A) which fandoms are you reading fics for where you have this kind of offerings on the regular?
B) have you heard of short stories? If you truly think every story NEEDS to be longform to connect with people, I sincerely feel sorry for you.
C) Average novel length is between 50k to 100k. I'm sorry, but CONSISTENTLY demanding fic writers to push out fics of that length is insane. Just think about it: YOU DEMAND AUTHORS TO PUT OUT FICS THAT COMPARE TO COMMERCIAL NOVELS IN LENGTH (AND QUALITY) AS A BASELINE.
edit: OP is a trans inclusive intersectional feminist. this post is not for “the overlap between trans men and lesbians” (quote from a terf who reblogged this). this post is for trans lesbians, and solidarity between lesbians and trans people. TERFs and other radfems dont reblog or interact.
tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse
(my semi-regular Monday poll is going to be a little different this time)
full disclosure: i am a filthy Homestuck, which some people have already guessed. Yes, yes, i know. Worst thing is, lately i've been bitten by an idea to create a Homestuck-inspired Life SMP project. But not that kind :P
what i'm thinking is a normal-ish Traffic SMP but with a reader-driven narrative, i.e. every few updates a poll or a "What will you do?" prompt will appear and allow you guys to decide the characters' actions
artsyle-wise i'd like to also borrow Homestuck's simplicity, mostly as a time saving measure. Here are a few samples of me trying it out:
AND SO, THE QUESTION IS
depending on the results i will either proceed with the idea, proceed but on a separate blog, or forget about it. Let's go
zedaph in the life series would be amazing for several reasons, one of them being the fact that his red life skin/s would be a toss up between something so Extra and dramatic or just like . this
