I’ve seen all the Will vaccinates Nico fics but has anyone considered… anti-vax Nico? Like Will is just losing his mind trying to get Nico to see he needs to get vaccinated asap so he doesn’t die of chicken pox or something and Nico’s just like “we have ambrosia and nectar for that, William. Don’t try that witchcraft on me.” Meanwhile Will is just crying like “it’s just science and medical advancements you silly child from the 1930s.”

I just think this would be hilarious.

OK I HAVE A QUESTION FOR AO3 READERS AND WRITERS CAUSE IM SO CURIOUS!

I think my favorite thing is when someone tells you that a line you wrote gutted them. Just flayed them open and made them feel everything and nothing all at once. I just think that’s kinda nice.

saw a similar meme a while ago but I couldn’t find it so I had to make my own.

first day on ao3: oh wow [tag] is a thing?? who even reads that? gross

two months on ao3: [tag] gives me life. I read [tag] every night before bed and I am Not Sorry. [tag] is everything. I embrace the awful. I am gross.

You don't know real agony until you've read an amazingly written fanfic that was last updated in 2012.

planning out the "world's okayest uncle" fic is so fun bc i can like,,, make the simplest notes to expand on later. so then i end up with things like "paul tries to rizz up emma but then ruth happens" or "best uncle is gonna singlehandedly stop bullying fr fr". and then i just have to try to,,, decipher what i meant by that. it's an experience

Sometimes it takes me 3 years to perfect 6,000 words and sometimes I knock it out in two days, and sometimes all I want to do is write and sometimes I look at a half-finished document and want to vomit.

Just read a brilliant 27.5k word Kanej regency au fic in an hour... It was amazing

Mutual pining where they have different flirting languages, so they both simultaneously keep going "oh, this person clearly must not like me back, they're not responding to any of the hints I'm dropping."

But the hints are like, Character A is using obvious cliché pickup lines and they're going right over B's head. Meanwhile, Character B is sharing every fun fact they know about trees and thinking "how is this not making them fall for me?"

you know it’s going to be a real good time when an author comes in and hits you with this double whammy

Is there a term to describe the experience of having read an incomprehensible amount of fanfiction throughout your life so you've spent a huge portion of your waking time reading however these stories aren't actual books so even though you like reading and read all the time you don't have anything tangible to show for it because fanfiction isn't really taken seriously in non-online spaces and you don't have a proper have-read list like what you could have on GoodReads?????

I love ships where both people are tops so they’re just constantly fighting over who gets to fuck the other first

daily affirmations of a fic writer no. 2

“My writing is a gift, not something I owe anyone.”

Reading König a fanfiction and then reading the worst formed german sentence ever has me like:

Physically I’m at my work desk but mentally I’m putting Kaz Brekker through the Horrors.™️
