Positive comments will reinforce the thing the comment was about: "I love they way they banter! It's so funny!" will almost definitely cause more witty banter in later chapters/other fics.

Characterization? Descriptions? Plot twists? Subtle nuances? Specific lines?

Compliment an author on any of these and you increase your chances of getting more of these. Maybe they won't write for you specifically but they'll probably have your comment tucked away in their brain.

i might elaborate later but fanfic replies literally develop writer’s metacognition and make them better writers

The Assassin's Earth and Fury

I mean, I wouldn't buy it but I might grab it at the library if there wasn't anything I was actually interested in.

Edit: Tried it a second time and got Court of Ice. You mean, like The Ice Court? As in the main plot of the Six of Crows‽ Fuck yes I would read that again.

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Share what you got!

I support insane tattoos and cryptozoology (i.e. bears in costumes)

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

I had the fun job of explaining peer-to-peer calls with insurance companies to my kid's psychiatrist. He said he was going to talk to all the other therapists so they can use this to get their patients the meds they need.

Surgeon Elisabeth Potter films herself discussing her patient's denial with United Healthcare. this is the same surgeon who was sued by UHC for “defamation” back in February after she revealed that UHC interrupted her in the middle of an active surgery.

I try to respond but sometimes I get busy and forget 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes there's a typo in the first option but I am not redoing the whole thing

Pretty sure Senators Smith and Klobucher are against the bill but I'll contact them anyway.

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

Why is it so easy to love little things (a bumblebee bumbling around my back yard) but so difficult to love large things (humans)? And, yet, extra large things (elephants) are somehow just as lovable as the small things (the crow that dances it's way up my driveway when I throw out bird food)!

He killed the dog

That fucking monster shot the Hortman's dog, Gilbert 😭😭😭

I hope they do ask for the death penalty.

Reblog to give prev the power to write their fanfiction

I really wish the people who like me for who I actually am didn't live so far away. I would have really liked going to the craft fair and grabbing a coffee with one of you monsterfucking fanatics this weekend.

Another Reason to Hate Generative AI

My local hospital system had to post this because Elon's AI Grok lacks the intelligence it is supposed to artificially generate.

In the wake of this morning's assassinations/assassination attempts by a man dressed as a police officer, all of my local police departments are putting out notifications or videos describing their official uniforms and vehicles. I don't know if it's a state wide thing but I've seen quite a few of them now. Even the small towns that only have one cop are making sure that people know what Jim is supposed to be wearing while on duty.

I understand why. It's actually logical. But it's fucking surreal.

Big fan of this little dude. He brings food up on my deck to eat as he watches my cats lose their furry little minds on the other side of the glass door.

it is so important to our well-being to get stoked over animals. like regular shit like squirrels & little parking lot birds & shit. or whatevers normal in your area. there are no boring animals. any animal sighting can be special if you love it and then every time you go outside or look out the window something sooo awesome will happen (see an incredible beast)

For those criticizing people for cancelling some of the No Kings rallies, here's the reason:

WE CAN'T TRUST THE COPS TO ACTUALLY BE COPS.

Cops are bad enough. A murderer dressed up as a cop so convincingly that he would be indistinguishable from the real thing... People have every right to stay the fuck home.

Something caught my attention on TV, so I went and found the full press conference: how bold and well-planned the Minnesota assassinations were. In the middle of the night (2 am), a man convincingly impersonated a police officer, complete with badge and taser, in order to deceive his way into the homes. His car "looked like an SUV squad car," equipped with lights and sirens. "There was no question that if they were in this room, you would assume that they are a police officer." When real officers arrived at Melissa Hortman's house, they found a "cop" already there with the "emergency lights" on, coming out of the house, and exchanged fire. As of right now, he's still at large, on foot. A manifesto found in the car listed other political targets. Police are searching for him in pairs, and citizens should call 911 and not open the door if a lone "officer" shows up. My eight news apps will probably light my phone up when they find him.
