being a writer is just thinking that anything and everything is great writing material. people watching while you wait for your bus? writing material. experiencing something that's gonna scar you for life? writing material. getting chased by chickens and running for your life? writing material.

writers when they’re reading said works after they’ve been published like proud parents *find 52 mistakes at first glance, 38 typos and 14 grammatical errors with a bunch of inconsistencies and plot holes*

This is a friendly reminder to give your OC a firm and unmistakable L every now and then.
This is a necessary action to keep your OC healthy for the long term.

We're fanfic writers, we spend hours researching an incredibly niche topic we know nothing about so that we can have one sentence be factually correct

okay we need to have an intervention.
i've noticed that people don't leave the same kind of unhinged compliments under fanfics that visual artists usually receive (eg, "i want to eat your art"), so i've come up with a list that you need to start employing when your friends send you their WIPs and when your favorites update on ao3 but you're having a hard time commenting something that sounds intelligent and you still want to support them
"you're like if [famos author] (eg, Victor Hugo if the fic is angst) was into [fandom]"
"well THIS has been added to my pre-sleep daydream schedule"
"this fic invaded my mind and consumed my brain like a spore"
"I'M LOSING SLEEP OVER THIS ONE, FOLKS"
"yOu'Ve AlReAdY lEfT kUdOs HeRe"
"this fic has me scratching at my yellow wallpaper, it's so good"
"this fic has me checking under my floorboards for the heart of a kind man i murdered, it's so good"
"i'm making my parents read this"
"i know only one chapter is out so far, but i'm going to print this out, staple it together, and put it on my bookshelf next to the canon material"
"this fic gave me another mental illness"
(you can only do this one once) "i made an ao3 account specifically to bookmark this"
"i'm going to print this out so i can eat the words on the paper"
and a couple that are just nice (without the feral nature):
"i made a custom playlist to listen to while i read this fic"
"this fic reminds me of [song]"
"i really liked the part where [x], it really stuck with me"
"i really liked this line, [quote the line,] it was so well-written!"
artists: draw fanart of the fic!! it doesn't matter if you think your art skills are good and it doesnt matter if it's just a sketch!! let the author see it!!
make a moodboard!! for the fic!! let the author see it!!

“okay I will try to finish this fic I’ve been working on and see if I can post it today!” says the girlie as she continues scrolling aimlessly through tumblr

-:“I need this. I need you.” Domestic fluff prompts:-
By @me-writes-prompts
“Can we take-out today, please? I’m too tired to cook today.” “Yeah, I’m tired too. Let’s do that.”
^^Cooking their favorite dish when the other one comes home from a long day of work
Putting a blanket on them while they are quick asleep on the couch
Playing their favorite movie and preparing snacks and drinks
Making lame jokes and laughing at themselves
Late-night ice cream cravings>>>
^^”Love, I’m really craving something sweet…Do we have ice cream at home?” “Yes, I wanted to have some after dinner but I felt too tired. Let’s have it right now.”
“Hmmm, you didn’t buy the groceries I told you about, did you?” “Omg, I’m sorry, I totally forgot…I-.” “No, no. It’s okay, baby. It’s fine, we can get it tomorrow.”
“Can you grab a bottle of wine on your way, darling?” “Wine for the most beautiful person coming up!” *blushes*
“I really thought today was Saturday and went to do the laundry.” “Uh huh, it’s Monday, love.”
Tugging them closer and pulling them into the warmest hug ever
Smiling so widely when they glance their way

It's not enough to just follow or subscribe to my favourite writers. I need to crawl around their thoughts like a curious little bug.

I’m not a perfectionist, but finding a typo or a grammatical error in my own already-published fic is like stepping on a Lego honestly
