I started a soulmate AU f!Revan/Bastila fic because there’s not enough f!Revan/Bastila fics in this world

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.

Every time I see arophobia I want to write another fic where Aziraphale and Crowley are aromantic. So I do. I just did it again. Might do this forever actually. Aroace A&C make me very happy.

lil extras for the free day

"I stopped writing fic because no one engaged with it or came into my askbox to discuss it" and "I left emoji comments and sent an ask to a writer discussing their fic but never got a response even though they answer other asks" and "I get really nice comments but never know how to respond to them" are all fandom experiences that can coexist!

d4dj side mix: super ride!!! :D

I just like wanna tell you I really like your stuff and probably (annoyingly sorry) left like a million notifications in your inboxes because I wanted to read all your works I could. I realize I should probably say hi.

Hi.

I originally came here maybe a few months back cause I was obsessed with the moon Sans, but I didn't follow you at the time. It took about an hour searching through Tumblr (the search system is a mess lol) to finally find it again then I realized I liked your other content too.

Wait this is supposed to be an ask, uhm lemme think of something-

Where do you get inspiration to write?

Do not apologize for the comments >:( literally dream come true to open ao3 and see a lot of notifs for my inbox heheheh, I’m very flattered you commented on so much ;v; please comment more! >u< can’t believe you read all the major things I wrote so fast im impressed :D

As for your question, it’s really random? When I first wrote amits it was basically my suppressed thoughts to have a scary monster kidnap me blew over and made me go “must write. Scary Sans obsession NOW” kndsf

And a lot of the other stuff is usually a spark to firewood thing. Like I’d hear the words “creepy robot that’ll probably kill you in your sleep” in a comedic youtube video and my brain suddenly goes “Yes, but what if it was romance” (which lead to robo skider for example)

Hey!! I just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work <3<3

I had been a little down when it came to creating more content or being involved in Zukka side of the fandom but seeing your update reminded me to just have fun. And okay this is going to sound bad but I swear I mean this as a compliment; I thought I was wasting my time working for months and years on the stuff I made, but then I realized your fic series brings me so much joy and I'd never, ever judge you for the amount of effort you put into your writing. Seeing it's actually inspiring, to see that someone holds that much passion and creativity and you are sharing it all for FREE. That a person could take all this time to intricately weave together a story, create memorable OCs, breathe new life and make the ATLA world so much bigger than it ever was in canon.

So thanks for accidentally giving me a kick in the butt to stop being judgy about my own work and making me realize you and every fan creator is AWESOME.

I hope you have a wonderful day, your writing is a blessing.

awwww I wanted to say thank you for sending me this ask! I know it’s not easy to put yourself out there, even on anon, so I think it’s cool you felt confident enough to come here and tell me about how you’re feeling.

I don;t think what you’re saying is bad at all haha, because honestly, I feel the same way. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wondered why the fuck am I still doing this? What’s the point? Do people even still care? What if it’s not good enough? What if people discover I have no fucking idea what I’m doing? Why am i spending so much of my time and effort doing this?? I mean… the self doubt is super real, and shiiiiiit let me discover one person that feeds into my self doubt and I’m full on spiraling haha. (Be nice to creators damn it! we are doing our damn best lol)

I’m really glad you think my fic is awesome, and if it weren’t people like you reminding me, I probably would have given up a long time ago haha. I do give my fic a lot of effort, and I hope you continue to give your creations the same amount of love and effort! I’m sure you’re amazing, and seriously don’t give up! I care about your creations and if I don’t get to stop neither do you! WOHOOO!!

Thanks for the ask anon sorry it took me so long to answer

WOOO chapter 3 is up!!!

Summary:

“HOLY SH-” Miles and Gwen simultaneously turned to cover Pav’s mouth so as to not alert the creature in the middle of the carnage below them. The creature either didn’t hear him or it was too preoccupied with whatever it was doing. To his regret Miles soon realized what that was, as another wet snapping noise broke the silence once more. The creature was crouched down on all fours over what Miles assumed was the body of an officer, though it was so mutilated that it was hard to tell for sure. Its head was buried into the chest of the body beneath it, another wet snapping noise emerging as it pulled out a couple of ribs between its bloodied jaws... Or The Spider-Gang goes looking for Hobie. They don’t like what they find.

Chapter 3 of my Venom!Hobie fic is here! 💜💜💜

girl help I’m experiencing

Hey babe! I think we talked about this a while ago. But I agree with you, fandom it doesn't feel like fandom anymore.

I write about different ships and for every one of those ships, people just don't engage with the community. And that's not just with fics, now that i'm doing more gifset (and yeah i know they're not the best), they get more likes than anything else.

I know i should do it for myself, but at least it's good to see my pairs enjoying and celebrating the work i put into the fandom. And I try to do it, when i read something i comment/reblog it or directly comment with the author. Or reblog the gifset i really enjoy.

Fandom should be a community, without the human interaction there's no point in 'fandom'. Like you said, we're not going to be friends with 100 people but at least we should be kind with each other, we love the same thing that's what it link us together.

Cata my love! Yes, we have talked about this. I think gifsets/art edits are so much easier for people to engage in. WE can look at them, we can like it, we can oooh and ah and then quickly move on.

Fic takes time. We need to be in the headspace, and I think that's a lot of why short fic/light on plot fic does very well. People don't always want to click onto another website to read, or might get interrupted and not come back.

We write for ourselves, first and foremost, right? We write for ourselves because we want to tell this story, but if we want stories to read, we have to engage on some level. I had someone start reading my fic because the saw my name and recognized my comments they saw on another fic. How cool is that!

And comments never have to be indepth and essays. I make it a policy in my author's notes to say: I want to hear from you. Second kudos or a heart emoji. I just want to know you're here. I try to ask questions too about 'hey what did you think of xyz'.

Fandom was founded on community, of joining together and giggling and yelling about the shared thing we liked and holding up the fun things we made. And with the commercialization (capitalism?) of fandom, now it's just... churn the content. And if you aren't a content churner, good luck engaging I guess.

Keep writing your stories, keep linking, be kind to your fellow creators and reblog the things that look interesting, that you think your friends might find interesting.

The 'Enjoying watch you suffer' line in Broadcast has always been hard to pin down; Tim's leg getting broken is the biggest incident in Entry #35, so it's natural to want to tie the two together, but it seems to fit so indelicately into what we know about the timeline of totheark's internal relationship that it almost causes more problems than it resolves. However, even though it's very blink and miss it, Tim does actually manage to stab Alex in the arm before he gets knocked down -- we hear Alex cry out in pain, can see blood on the blade when Jay picks it up, and then in the recovered corrupted footage from that tape that Jay posts as Entry #36 Alex says "I did what I had to... he'd just stabbed me" -- and that injury being what totheark was trying to call attention to, to me, reads a lot more clear and consistent than anything else does

i don't make resolutions, but if i did

it would be to finish this fic

(and to be kind to myself for however long it takes to actually do so)

It's finally here, the self-indulgent project I've spent two months working on! It started out as an excuse to write a steamy intimate scene but turned into a character study and an experiment all at once... I really hope you enjoy reading it; it was a blast to write, even with all the challenges.

Posting this link here for the Tumblr crowd xx

what do i have to do to get people to read my stuff actually like im not about to get in everyones faces begging for attention but i dont understand how im expected to make FREE fandom content without much feedback on my work

I hope this doesn't come off as pressuring at all, I'm definitely not expecting anything, I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed a game we can try (I made like 3 separate comments and then deleted them bcos anxiety skjdhkjh) and will definitely look forward to updates /if/ they ever happen (either way I'm rereading it regularly ofc ^.^) ty for the work you do & im so sorry it didn't get the engagement it deserved!!

<333 Thanks anon, I hope I can return to it one day. I'm definitely not calling it on permahiatus yet or cancelled or anything, it's more just, 'it depresses me to think about right now so Ima wait.'

For what it's worth, just leaving a heart counts as a comment. And it lets me know that people are reading. There's nothing to stop someone from later coming back and leaving a second comment if they want to (like one with words), but if you've ever looked in my comment sections, you'll always see a few people just offering hearts, and I always reply to them, and like... it counts!

Unfortunately authors just don't know how appealing something is if there's not much engagement. I think if my motivations had been different - i.e. if like Smoke in Autumn I didn't care if people were reading it or not - I'd be writing it still, but this story, while I've always wanted to write it, came at this specific time as my love for kind of the Iron Lion fandom and its people, and well...

Well... anyway, hopefully I can return to it. It's definitely not ruled out. But I might make it way way shorter than I initially intended to.
