Anyway, greetings from the abyss I missed all of you. Brief update on the fic: no, I'm not abandoning shit. Yes, I'm still writing. Yes, I plan on finishing it no matter what and your next update will be two chapters and at least 16k words long I wanna say. Good shit be coming forth on the horizon and I never stopped thinking of my readers for a second but here's the next two chapter titles if that does anything for ya. Stay tuned these will be up SHORTLY I SWEAR

Me writing smut: I have to do a good set up for context as to why they'd be fucking. This could start several pages before we even get to the 'lets have sex' part.

Me reading the smut I wrote, months later: skim skim skim blah blah blah AH YES THE GOOD SHIT HERE WE GO.

No, no, you misunderstood me. The best trope isn't the villain gets the girl, the best trope is the girl gets the villain.

Literally cannot emphasize enough that my #1 writing advice is to stop being afraid. Stop being afraid of sounding too cringe, or too stupid, or too horrifying, or too horny, or too weird, or too much, or too little, or too you. You need to put your entire pussy into your art. Sure, it won't be to everyone's tastes, but if you keep yourself to the blandest tamest safest roads possible you will be of no one's tastes, not even yours.

By god the wanting comes in waves

Ayoooooo so i use ai text to speech to play back my writing to listen for any funkiness and I think i found the most realistic free one. Not trying to endorse anything or make any pro ai post or anything it was just cool as fuck to listen to this and go "holy shit i wrote that"

like it just sounds so professional you know?

anyway heres a quick little peak at chapter four of TWCIW because I need to share something to let you know i havent given up on this fic i promise!!

writing under cut

He swirled the brandy in his glass with a heavy sigh; his daughter’s words echoing in his mind. It should have been you. Lips curled up in a snarl, more angry with himself than the rest of the world, he tosses back the last of the dregs and reaches to pour another. It’s been almost a month since Marianne sailed away with Roland. Almost a month since he ignored each and every sign of trepidation in her eyes. The same girl who bounced on his knee in fits of contagious giggles was now left to the mercy of the tides. He supposed there were worse ways to go. But not many. The burn in his throat did little to soothe the one in his heart and dragging a calloused palm across his face blinked away the threat of tears as if he could will it. Marianne. The day she was born he swore the clouds parted the sky just for her. It was midfall and the Gods did not favor Summerland that season. Howling winds and thunderous hail sent everyone cowering, praying for a break in the turmoil as little Marianne’s wails were ready to mingle with her people’s. She never got the chance. Eerily, the rains stopped along with her arrival almost miraculously and her parents convinced each other she was their own tiny miracle. Her mother looked out her infirmary window at the sun peaking through the clouds; light glinting off the still churning waves, and tearfully thanked the realms. Marianne, they called her right then. Star of the sea. Wriggling and caked in viscera, even as a newborn she damn near fought anyone that dared to touch her. Shrill cries and writhing limbs, however small, fought their fight well and good to the coos that surrounded her. Dagda bowed to kiss his wife’s sweat matted forehead while his arms dwarfed both of his girls and he believed for the first time in his life that helped to put something good into the world. Now, he wasn’t so sure. “It should have been you,” his broken words echoed into the glass as it tipped back once more. “It should have been you.”

Me when I finally sit down to write:

*high pitched electrical whine*

someone I follow on the bird app just announced they're starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they're reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic

I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS

I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there's 10,000 other people that will continue...but if you participate in a fic "book club" server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?

the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don't rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit "post"

Write your story however it comforts you.

"But that writing video said..."

"But then readers will..."

"But this trope should..."

"But that famous author said..."

Write your story however it comforts you. 📖✨✨
