*THIS WAS SENT TO A FRIEND. NOT ME*
the friend who received this is too nice to say something about it but i have reached a point now where i have seen them receive so many messages like this that i just can't keep my mouth shut anymore
this is straight up evil behaviour. whatever lighthearted tone this anon thought they were sending this with, i don't care. it's gross in every sense.
i'm speaking directly to whoever sent this now and frankly, if you follow me, non, unfollow me right fucking now because i don't want this energy anywhere near my blog. it hurts enough that you've targeted my friends with it.
listen up because apparently it bears repeating for the millionth fucking time -
FANFICTION AUTHORS ARE HUMAN BEINGS. they have lives and jobs and school and things they struggle with. maybe they've even spoken publicly about their struggles in the hopes their readers would understand them a bit better because at the end of the day this is a community and they have every right to use this space however they fucking want to.
"don't start a fic you can't finish" - literally shut up. shut up! we are not paid to do this, i will start and not finish whatever the fuck i want.
and holy shit, anon. as if this message wasn't disgusting enough, please let me state plainly something you "desperately" need to hear: no robot can give you what a human writer can. and the fact that you even threatened to just go to AI at this point shows how little you care about storytellers and all they provide for you.
again, i don't care if every word of this message was sent in jest or meant to be read playfully. it's not fucking cute. this shit hurts writers and ya'll need to realize that.
if you take time out of your life to send messages like this, you're a bad person. period. this is not how fanfic works, it's not how the world works. if you can wait two-three years for a movie or a new season of your favourite tv show, you can wait a few months for a fanfic to update. or you can wait forever. we literally owe you nothing.
i'm done sugarcoating it, ya'll. disrespectfully, grow up. grow up! enough is enough.
anyway
#@ that one anon i didn't reply to who sent me a rude af ''wtf where's the rest of as a friend?" message last month#when if they'd scrolled like five posts down on my blog they'd have seen that since my last update#i'd started a second job AND gone back to college AND THEN had to deal with the unexpected death of a parent#and yeah maybe my particular situation was an extreme one but also#the fact that we all write this stuff in our spare time for fun & for free should be reason enough not to be an entitled prick about it#if i could stop that one particular reader from accessing the update when i do post it i would#fandom problems

There are currently ~2300 works in AO3 tagged with "Created Using Generative AI"
I'll be upfront with my opinion, which mirrors my opinion in regards to my field: using AI will only hasten your own obsolescence. The point of fanfiction is not to crank out fics, but rather to enjoy the hobby and communities of writing and fandom.
#No#there are not enough words in the universe to express how much I never want to interact with AI anything#also frankly if you post AI generated fic or art then I actively dislike you as a human being

Congratulations to all of the incredible artists and authors who participated in the eighth round of the Dean/Cas Pinefest!
Over the past month, 34 authors and 23 artists teamed up to share a collective 1,420,869 words of pine-filled fic and 117 works of art. The talent and artistry of this fandom absolutely floors us every year, and we're so happy that you're all still here sharing your wonderful creations with us 🌲
With that in mind, we'll definitely be back for more! An official announcement for the 2025 Pinefest -- our ninth year -- will come sometime in July. Follow us here on Tumblr to make sure you don’t miss out on any details!
Under the cut, you’ll find links to every fic & art masterpost from the 2024 round, and you can also check out the collection on Ao3. Make sure to let the authors and artists know how much you enjoyed their creations with a like, kudos, or best of all, a reblog, rec, or comment!

Until next time… happy pining!

Thanks so much for the lovely review! I can't believe it's been eleven years since I wrote DSotM -- here's hoping it all holds up 😅
Dark Side of the Moon
Dark Side of the Moon by imogenbynight (@thevioletcaptain)
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 55k
Five months into his six month mission, an accident leaves Flight Engineer Dean Winchester stranded on the moon. It comes down to a man he has never met to bring him home.
This fic has The Martian vibes, so if you like your shipping paired with the inherent horror of being stranded in space, I have great news.
Dean is the sole survivor after an accident kills his crew. His hope for survival rests in a stranger, Cas. Dean and Cas bond immediately and it makes for a compelling love story. The fic is also well cast with deeply likable characters.
In the end, if you are looking for tense drama with a happy ending, this is a great choice. There's a real Cas saving Dean from Hell vibe to the fic that hits so very right.
#though it physically pains me whenever someone compares DSotM to The Martian 🙃#not because The Martian is bad or because it's not a fair comparison to make#but because I'd never heard of it when I wrote the fic#and I only learned it existed when I was halfway through adapting this fic into a screenplay and happened to see a trailer for the movie#and then I went to see the movie and was absolutely distraught over how similar a lot of things were#especially considering that the first outline I wrote for the fic had it set on Mars#and in an effort to be able to keep DSotM online in the event that the script was good enough to try and sell#the screenplay was also set on Mars#if you go back far enough on my blog you'll see me having a small meltdown about it lol#but anyway I hope anyone who hasn't read DSotM before now enjoys it!#and many thanks to profoundbondfanfic for sharing older works around <3#cass says things#cass writes fic
