There are god tier fanfics that have touched my heart so deeply I've reread them more than any professionally published novel.

it never ceases to amaze me that people can write god awful trash on Wattpad (and no shade to reading or writing trash for fun) that gets published and turned into films (all the shade to that though), meanwhile there are people writing masterpieces of literature on AO3 who will never get official recognition because the platform isn't marketable the same way Wattpad is

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

not to be controversial on main but aberforth displayed more genuine concern for harry's wellbeing during a 15 minute interaction than dumbledore did in 15 years and that's the tea

“Is it okay if I draw fanart of your fanfic?👉🏼👈🏼”

My brother in Christ we shall have a spring wedding

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

everyone thinks hermione is the yapper but she only spouts about lil facts and information when needed.

i present to you all, ron the true yapper of the golden trio.

he’d be there like “do u guys think we’d be bestfriends if we were fish?”

hermione’d say “well, yes. most fish travel in schools.”

then ron would start yapping about how he’d court hermione as a fish and how all the professors would be different sea animals. (he’s just watched nemo recently)

meanwhile harry’s like thinking to himself if i were any sea animal i’d be a sea lion.

A secret date with a secret kiss. Don't say it to anyone! 🤫

everyday my love for Snape grows stronger

and more insane

“what will you give me in return?” is such an insane thing to say to someone who historically has Fuck All. even more insane to say when you are Aware that they have literally fucking nothing

Do you ever just start writing and then it's a few thousand words later, and you're just like, 'Where the hell did any of this come from? This was not the plan. Wtf?'

Defending Severus Snape is not enough. I need a fucking gun

I cannot possibly express how amazing it feels to get repeat commenters on a fanfic. When I was writing my first long form fanfic last spring I could have dedicated it to my first reader, that's how inspired I felt that they commented so consistently.

I remember having the slightly hysterical thought that *I* should check to see if *they* had a Kofi so that I could donate to it since they were the reason my fanfic got finished so quickly.

*through sweat, blood, and tears* YOU WILL NOT EDIT THE FIRST DRAFT AS YOU GO. YOU WILL NOT EDIT THE FIRST DRAFT AS YOU GO. YOU WILL NOT EDIT THE FIRST DRAFT. AS YOU GO.

YOU. WILL. NOT. EDIT. THAT. FIRST. DRAFT.

nothing will ever amaze me the way fanfiction authors do. like, you wrote silly little stories about my favorite little guys? and i can read them?? for free??? that’s fucking wild.

you poured your heart and soul and very being into your writing and then put it out there for anyone to read? insane.

you spend a truly incredible amount of time writing novel-length, high quality stories, again, FOR FREE, that anyone can read, again, FOR FREE??

shoutout to every single fic author in existence, you guys are fucking incredible and i love all of you so much

Me: Okay, Brain. Think about what happens next in this chapter.

Brain: *Skips three chapters ahead*

Me: No, no. This one, this chapter, the one we are writing right now.

Brain:.......*47 scenes forward*

Me: NO
