a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

Yes Tolkien did something great by showing how men, including traditionally "masculine" martial men can be gentle and affectionate caregivers, but honestly I think he did something even better by showing how a woman can be sick to fucking death of being that as well.

Men can be nurturers, and women can be done nurturing.

i hate when ppl act like the only reason to not like a "sad" ending is because you can't take it or whatever. personally as a tragedy enjoyer, i hate a poorly written ending. i hate an ending that is just kind of a bummer. i hate an ending that feels mean-spirited to the audience. i hate an ending that's redundant. i love a sad ending that is thematically consistent, poignant, and bespoke to the rest of its narrative.

writing tip #3436:

don't stress about your first draft. don't stress about your second draft. don't stress about your third draft. don't stress about your fourth draft. you may stress about your fifth

The reading comprehension and overall common sense on this website is piss poor.

"I know chatgpt is bad but you just don't really have any choice" you literally do. Don't use it. Have some moral backbone.

I think a lot of what makes fanfiction so magical is writers taking the time to explore tiny elements that were imagined into existence in the source material and then abandoned. It's the deep dive into that t-shirt, the forgotten gift, the nickname, the spare key, the anger they swallowed down, the trauma they supressed, the love they denied, the story that wasn't mainstream enough to make it. It's the little things getting their moment to shine and I fucking love that and I will fight for it always.

I don’t know what to do, how to help anything, other than sharing this.

One of my favorite things about Terry Pratchett's books is their unique relationship with used bookstores. Particularly because they are difficult to find, for three reasons. The first reason is that they aren't there. Books in used bookstores were once owned by other people, people who decided to let that book go in the hopes that it will find someone new who will love it. It's very difficult to let go of a Terry Pratchett book. The second reason is that, if they make it into a store, they never stay there very long. They're usually purchased less than a few days after their arrival.

The third reason is my favorite: if they made it to the bookstore, and remained unnoticed, it's because the spine is worn. It's been read and loved so much it's almost unrecognizable from the spine. I've never found a used Terry Pratchett book without a cracked spine, and I love it. Cracked spines, stained pages, worn covers, these are the physical signs of love that we leave on our favorite books, and every Terry Pratchett book I've found in a used bookstore has been loved, dearly.

my creative writing prof also HATES fantasy. as in if she asks for an example of symbolism in a book, and you give something from a fantasy novel, she’ll ask for an example from a “non-commercial book” instead.

I dunno man, people can have preferences, but the second you discount the artistic merit of sci fi and fantasy I stop taking your opinion seriously. and there’s such a big culture in Canada of only valuing literary fiction, to the point where one of our biggest authors, Margaret Atwood, refused for a while to classify her books as sci fi or fantasy. she said they were “speculative fiction”, which is entirely separate and very highbrow (sarcasm).

and I could go on about how Octavia Butler and Ursula Le Guin wrote books every bit as intellectual (and honestly, even more so) than their literary counterparts, but I am also an enjoyer of schlock!! I think there’s artistic merit in animorphs, and in isekais where a japanese schoolgirl reincarnates into a magical spider who has to level up like it’s a video game! it’s like with everything, you can’t draw a clean line that separates ‘art’ from ‘non-art’ or even ‘lesser art’, and pretending you can do so just makes you look ignorant and goofy. in my opinion.

a non-exhaustive list of stuff the left has done since october 7th:

praised actual genocidal terrorist groups

claimed that the rapes on oct 7 were just propaganda and didn’t happen

outright saying that oct 7 was justified

didn’t say a single word about the hostages except to belittle their suffering and that of their families

allowed literal nazis into their protests

stood by as those nazis threw up their salutes and chanted nazi shit

refused to collectively condemn a single antisemitic incident done in the name of pro palestinian activism

made any israeli out to be evil incarnate to the point where israelis can’t even exist outside their country without being attacked, harassed, black listed, etc.

excused away a literal pogrom that happened in the streets of a modern european city as if it were nothing more than a demonstration against the war

gaslit jews constantly about the rampant antisemitism that has been ongoing for over 600 days

said that the guy who executed two israelis at a peace event at a jewish museum was committing a legitimate form of protest against israel

praised the guy who threw molotovs at a group of jews doing a peace march

i’m convinced at this point that the left has never actually cared about social justice since they have more in common with nazis than with people who actually give a damn about justice or standing up for marginalized groups

if it walks like a nazi and talks like a nazi it’s just a fucking nazi
