i read recently that neil gaiman wrote fifty words a day of coraline until it was finished and honestly it’s such a breath of fresh air just to have that reassurance, that it took so long for him to write it, just a little bit at a time.

Man it's so weird that people go after ao3 for hosting fucked up fanfiction. Not because thats a dumb thing to invest energy into in the first place ( it is though) but because i remember back when ffnet was the place to be and fics on there were way more demented on average than your typical ao3 fare. I feel like Ao3 became a thing around the same time that fandom overall shifted to favoring cute fluffy conflict-free type stories, so at least subjectively it feels like ffnet had 1. Way more stories focused on something other than shipping (tho I think this is partly a function of the different tagging systems), and 2. Way more stories about just the most fucked up bullshit imaginable. To say nothing of back when fanfiction was exclusively hosted on peoples personal geocities website
(Rattles cane) Back In My Day, fluff was a minority genre! Angst with no happy ending was king!

Five Steps to Romance || A Modern KogKag Au
Happy Valentine’s Day @maddieson-san!
I’m your super lucky secret admirer! I hope you enjoy your gift!
Series: Inuyasha
Rating: Gen
Warnings: N/A
Status: Complete!
Pairing: KogKag
Summary:
Kouga took a steadying breath, and opened his eyes into slits. When he wasn’t immediately blinded, he blinked and turned his head to see who was in the room with him.
Hot damn she was pretty.
“Am I dead?”
Surprised, the woman turned to face him fully. “I sure hope not. Otherwise we’d both be.”
Or, four times Kouga asks out his favorite nurse, and the one time she asks him.
Find it On: AO3

Vegeta’s life as a trophy husband:
Working out
Eating
Strutting about
Talking loudly at his family
Sleeping
Hissing if Bulma gives him affection but also always somehow in the same room as her. Just by ‘chance’.
—
That’s not a husband Bulma- That’s a cat.

A reminder that bats are superior to swords for their inherent potential for inflicted pain
Nothing rivals a sword in homoeroticism, but for just raw pain, bone breaking, blocking, and parrying, bats reign supreme

there are two wolves inside you. one is like “hey, are you adequately paying off every aspect that you’re adding to this fanfic in a way that is narratively satisfying?” and the other one is like “this whole fic is just a pile of self-indulgent garbage who honestly fucking cares if shit gets paid off or not” and the first wolf is like “i kinda do” and the second wolf is like “but paying shit off is gonna make writing it not as fun” and the wolves argue forever, and you are a writer, and you are in hell
