Fandom Problem #4735:

Not to be rude, but it’s a bit annoying when creators threaten to block users who like, reblog, or follow their content just because their blog is blank. I understand users want interactions between them and their users, but isn’t it alright for people to come onto tumblr and simply view content they like without making a fancy blog? I think many people on here forget that their followers, no matter who they are, are the reason any of our blogs see the light of day. Are the reason any of peoples posts, fics, headcanons, art, etc. are liked or shared with others. There will be many people who interact with your blogs, but don’t punish your other followers if they aren’t up to it. Accept that some people will and some people won’t, and be grateful for what you have.

The year is 1869, and Sheriff Jane Rizzoli has a lot on her plate. Between wrangling her loose cannon of a brother and fending off the constant stream of suitors her mother keeps sending her way, she's hardly had time to deal with her most pressing problem: the disappearance of several young women in Echo Station, the town she's supposed to protect. Enter Dr. Maura Isles, the new town physician fresh out of medical school in Boston. Though Maura and Jane seem to be opposites in every possible way, the two quickly forge an intimate partnership that has all sorts of rumors flying... Could Maura be the key to solving Echo Station's mysterious disappearances? And will Maura and Jane ever admit to themselves that they want to be more than just colleagues?

2017 fic roundup

I was tagged for this a(bout a month ago, sheesh) by @catty-words, one of the sweetest and loveliest people I have the pleasure of calling a friend. *HUGS*

That said, doing this was a little depressing, when compared to 2016 - so thanks for that, hon! ;-) But it’s mainly for a good reason (new job that I actually enjoy and which keeps my brain busy), so that’s kind of okay really. I just miss being properly involved in a fandom.

Total 2017 Word Count: 34,603 (9 fics) Total 2017 Hits: 9,466 Other 2017 AO3 Stats: Kudos: 902; Comment threads: 84; Bookmarks: 78; Subscriptions: 28.

Total 2016 Word Count: 110,113 (24 fics) Total 2016 Hits: 23,744 Other 2016 AO3 Stats: Kudos: 1507; Comment threads: 301; Bookmarks: 115; Subscriptions: 45.

Links and titles to 2017 works:

Fate Goes Ever As It Must: The 100, Pangur Ban AU, Bellamy/Clarke, 6171 words. Clarke is a medieval nun who makes illustrated manuscripts, Bellamy has a talking cat. It was a thing.

Slow Burn: The 100, Bellamy/Clarke, 2555 words. Canonverse AU. Clarke decides to woo Bellamy.

A Whole Lotta Grown-Ass American Women: The 100, Ghostbusters AU, 2768 words. Clarke, Raven, Octavia, and Lexa as the Ghostbusters.

You Are The Opera (Always On Time And In Tune): Community, Annie Edison/Jeff Winger, 12165 words. AU following 603 Basic Crisis Room Decorum. Most of this was written a while ago, I just finished it in 2017, so that knocks about 10,000 words off my actual total written last year.

Touchstone: The 100, Bellamy/Clarke, Stargate AU, 1612 words. Bellamy and Clarke are rival leaders of Gate teams. Apparently I like doing AUs in t100 fanfic.

It’s A Boy!: The 100, Bellamy/Clarke, Stargate AU, prequel to the above fic, 1736 words. Bellamy gets de-aged, because Stargate has all the best tropes.

Self-Rescuing Princess: The 100, Bellamy/Clarke, 4735 words. My take on what could happen for the big s5 reunion.

And This Is Why I Sojourn Here: Community, 792 words. It all makes sense: his uncanny abilities as a lawyer, his amorality and deviousness, his weirdly pointy good looks... Jeff is a fairy.

Nothing I’d Like Better Than To Fall: The 100, Bellamy/Clarke, John Wick AU, 2069 words. Clarke is an assassin for hire (retired), and she has just had the WORST day.

Favorite Fic: You Are The Opera. I like the stuff I wrote two+ years ago best. :7

Hardest Fic: All of them have been like pulling fucking teeth. I have three I’m determined to finish (all Community), and a ton of WIPs that I’d love to write. And if I find the inspiration, a load of follow-ups, but I honestly can't see that happening.

Do You Plan to Take Prompts in 2018?: Honestly, this depends on me finding time, energy, and inspiration. It might well take finding a new fandom that hits me as hard as Community did, and those come about once every ten years, tbh. So, it’s unlikely. :(

What was the best thing about 2017?: That I did actually get some stuff written, actually more than I'd thought. I was really glad to finally post You Are The Opera, I'm really please with some of the lines in that.

What was the worst thing about 2017?: Having lots of ideas and no time or energy. I MISS WRITING! I MISS THE INTERACTION WITH YOU GUYS!

Any last thoughts for 2017?: Shoutout to MizVickers on AO3, who has been going through all my Community fics and commenting on them - I’m failing to respond, but bless you for it, I do notice and appreciate it! And also to everyone else who reads and hits kudos/comments, every single one gives me a boost, and makes me want to get back to writing. I love you all. :)

Also, I want to express my eternal appreciation for @bethanyactually, who I was privileged to meet, this year. The fact that I’ve produced anything this year is largely down to her, and she’s unfailingly supportive, without being pressuring.

Goals for 2018: Finding a way to fit writing back into my life. I actually love my new job, and that’s half the problem (I know it’s a GOOD problem, don’t get me wrong): my brain is actually focused on work. But I really do miss writing, so now that I’m more settled in, maybe I can find time. Coming up with ideas in the car, now I’m more familiar with driving? Writing on train journeys, if I can find a way to get over people reading over my shoulder, or find a way to shield my screen? Writing when I’ve got overnight trips? These should all be possible, in theory.

Response to 4735 : No one is asking you to make a fancy blog and spend 5 hours on html to make a fully personalized blog, just to add a profile picture, or even a pinned post that says "I'm not a bot, just lurking".

Tumblr has had a problem with bots for a long time now, so most users will see a blank blog that didn't even bother to write a title, and think "Yep, that's a bot".

That's how it works, you enter a website that is entirely based on decentralized interaction between its users, you are expected to do the bare minimum to interact with other users. If you went as far as to like / reblog / follow another users, you've already been clicking a few buttons anyway, what's one more ?

Posting since this is a response to a previous problem.

4735 About the people saying "having bots follow you can get you hacked", not going to lie I laughed out loud a bit, because in my head I just can't see how that would work. How would they actually get your password merely using tumblr's follow infrastructure? Last I checked, scripts aren't allowed on blog popups, just their desktop themes, and most bots don't exactly have a desktop theme. So if you click a url of a bot, it'll just open up a blank blog with no script to be used on you (in other words, stuff like cookie grabbers are definitely out). And if you start to receive sketchy shortened links via IM, like I've gotten a few times, just delete them? The mere act of someone sending an IM message isn't going to "get your account hacked". Clicking fishy links, yeah, they could lead to sites with all kinds of shit on them, but otherwise no. Accounts get "hacked" when your password is somehow released and cracked using software. That's not what's happening if a bot simply follows you.
