i need bedlund (hungry freak cas understander, much to say about destiel) and robbie thompson (queer nerd dean understander, wrote first destiel confession with dean saying "i love you" FIRST) to put their heads and pens together and work on s16. like pls. i need it
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.
people being like. "if this were 2021--" yea i get it nostalgia is a helluva drug but. it's right now. enjoy it. live in this destiel moment. now. i mean this with all the love and affection. canon destiel moment happening right Now. let's all hold hands.
castiel came on the show balls and cock forward is the thing. his autistic swag and lustful eyes made him stare at dean 2 seconds too long and immediately the writers Understood
writing my academic university essays on sapphicnatural is so funny it feels like cheating. you mean i get to read sapphicnatural fics for work??? i have to sit and scroll through the sapphicnatural collection on ao3 all day????? oh no..... whatever am i to do.......
it's all good now i'm writing about the spn fandom scenario which causes the really unique production of sapphicnatural fics (emphasis of rarepairs, prevelance of 4,000ish word oneshots, lack of character consistencies) heheheh
i have an 1500 word literature essay and i'm desperate to write in on spn/spn fandom but i am finding it's actually physically impossible to write anything on supernatural that isn't a million words long given there's So Much To Fucking Talk About
