Hey! I hope your week’s going well. I know that I’m supposed to @ you when my pirate fantasy novel is out, so that led me to thinking about a community I’m going to start on Friday. It plays out the scenario, “What if bookstores were run by the authors?” Published and aspiring fiction authors can engage with readers, who, in turn, can ask about non-spoiler information and interact with their new favorite writers. The target demographic of the books is roughly 13-25, but older readers can come too. (Basically, the books are just a minimum of PG-13) I want this to be a very unique and fun experience for everybody and am super excited to get it started! Do you think you’d like an invite when it’s ready?

Yes that’d be lovely

There’s no better comedy than posting this on TikTok:

Then getting a rude paragraph by a random that basically boils down to: you do that because you think therapy is beneath you.

Uh no. I just admit that my mental illness isn’t a superpower. It’s a terrible thing and I wish it never was there.

The random deleted the paragraph a minute later. I’m guessing they realized how stupid they sounded.

Anyway song of the day:

There’s only one you. There will never be another you. Please make the best of life and don’t forget to enjoy each day. Even when it feels like everything is collapsing. Keep moving forward. Your time in the sun is coming soon.

Yeah don’t ask AI ask me.

GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.

Hey you. Yes you. Go to sleep.

Frank especially. That man is into some interesting things.

M*A*S*H | 3.07 - "Check-up"

M*A*S*H is really one of those shows that hit different on each stage of your life. I laughed at the jokes as a kid. When I got older, I realized why people like BJ and Hawkeye were constantly joking.

That one phineas and ferb episode

You have a brick. It looks like a brick. It feels like a brick. Yet, over the past few days, people have been desperately trying to buy or steal the brick from you. You're starting to feel scared.

Random Rant

Good night, the writing advice on this website feels samesy as fuck.

It reminds me of when everyone in 2013 had an art OC and you legitimately couldn’t tell the difference.

“This is how you’re writing wrong, write like this instead.”

Congrats Brenda but you write just like Hannah. Who also write just like Lukas who writes just like Hayden.

Please for the love of EVERYTHING. Develop your own writing style.

Don’t copy and paste the writing patterns of others on this website to your own writing style. Because I legitimately can’t tell the difference anymore.

And it’s just really sad to see.

(I also don’t know how tumblr’s algorithm decided I wanted to see writing advice. I don’t. I take all my writing advice from my friend Ralph the alien cricket.)

Best: whatever resonates with your audience.

Because some people will read the second sentence and complain it’s too abstract.

Bad: "Her eyes were as blue as the ocean."

Better: "Her eyes were the kind of blue that makes you forget storms exist."

I’m writing my first fully sad ending soon. No character revivals, no second chances, nothing. It’s the end of the series too. We’ll see how it lands

you can pry happy endings from my cold-dead hands. It can be the most heart stopping, gut wrenching fic that has every existed and I will read every drop of it if I get my happy ending. I have had enough painful endings in real life, give me happy in my fantasy world. It can be at the last second, it can be a single sentence, even a single word. Give me all the angst and hurt in the world for 500,000 words, but please give me the comfort I need in the ending. please and thank you.

This is a hot take on threads. I almost got run off the site for it. Lol

If you clicked on and read a fanfiction that had tags or a description that upset you and you were upset by it, that's your responsibility, not the author's responsibility.

If you were reading a fanfiction and you got to an unexpected part that disturbed you and you kept reading after you were disturbed, that was your choice and your responsibility, not the author's.

No one is forcing you to read fanfiction that upsets you. The back button is your friend.

If you are reading a piece of fanfiction it's because it interests you. Horrified fascination counts as interest. No fanfiction is holding you hostage and forcing you to read it.
