reminder that you can and most certainly should be self indulgent in your whump writing. no that's not too much blood. yes you should add a whipping scene. you think it's over the top? it's not enough. if you're not giggling and screeching internally and kicking your feet then what even is the point

My Unhinged Kindle Notes pt.1

So today I had the brilliant idea of posting my kindle notes for some of the fics I read. Idk I think it'll be fun to let you guys watch me be insane from time to time. I feel like I act so serious on here when that is the FURTHEST thing from the truth. So instead of/in addition to doing reviews, I might start posting some of my (more interesting) notes from reading. Lmk if you guys find this fun at all :)

Starting with the one I finished today. Fic spoilers ahead, just FYI.

Fic: and it was Just Right by cinnabee

Summary for a lil context: "Katsuki spends two years post-graduation in a furious one-sided competition with his childhood friend and rival's promotional photos - until they finally run into each other, and, well. You shouldn't believe everything you see in magazines. // A love story about size differences."

My notes:

Note: on my kindle, it was 3 pages but it was recorded as just 1 in the notes

Fun fact, the "orange one" is a massive dildo. But that's inconsequential.

Anyway I have about twice this but these are the zestiest. If you're reading this,,, omg stahhpp i'm blushinggggg *kisses u*

I'm gonna say it.

It's unhinged to assume that someone's taste in fiction equates to what they believe is moral or good, or is something they want to see or experience in real life.

That is a bonkers assumption to make.

I'm tired of humoring people with long arguments about it when the simple fact is it is a totally fucking absurd reach to accuse someone who enjoys something in fiction of being in favor of it in real life.

I'm tired of pretending like this is a legitimate position to hold-- that they should be afraid of fiction's dire influence on a reader's moral decay or that it's a sign of what the author secretly wants for realsies in real life.

"no one leaves comments anymore" "I'm afraid to comment" "It's okay you can COMMENT ANYTHING" "but not that" "if I can't criticize I won't comment" "the author never responds anyway so I don't see the point" "no one leaves comments anymore" comment discourse is an ouroboros!!!

I am taking fanfic writers by the hand I am so gently encouraging you to find your own motivation, your own community, outside of just ao3. Even finding one person to share fics with (or leaning in to writing for just yourself) will make the uncertainty of public reception bearable.

Yes I love kind comments from complete strangers, but I only want them if the reader has something to say, not because I've got a knife to their throat. And if they won't comment because I don't respond, that's fine too, because that's not the kind of comment I probably want either.

Writers have to post without the expectation of comments. Readers have to comment without the expectation of a response. And if they get something more out of it, that's great, but let's stop guilting each other for not engaging more in an internet landscape that is already built on manipulating us to maximize engagement.

Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?

Well, have I got the html for you!

Plop any of these in a comment (by copy&pasting the code) to make an author's day and show your appreciation!

Second kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/tHMjbb6/second-kudos.png" alt="second kudos">

Third kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/52bggQH/third-kudos.png" alt="third kudos">

nth kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/6y7qGtC/nth-kudos.png" alt="nth kudos">

yet another kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/wKtcj0s/yet-another-kudos.png" alt="yet another kudos">

It will look something like this (and will be transparent with white outline on dark backgrounds):

Feel free to spread and use these as much as you like! (and if you have ideas for other variations, let me know ✌️)

thoughts on Denny x bakugou?

yeah it’s alright 👍

I care a lot less about my presence on this platform so I'm just outright blocking people who post leaks on sight... begging people to tag their leaks and no "mha411" is not sufficient I cannot add a new muted tag every fucking week 😩 screaming into the void for people to use the actual leaks and spoiler tags

Merry Christmas 🎄💥💕

Summary: "Kacchan, I think we’re supposed to—” “Supposed to?” Katsuki whirled. “Supposed to? Will you fucking.. Listen to yourself? Shitty Deku, we just woke up in a dungeon and you want to play some villain’s game? Like it’s a goddamn puzzle we can just solve?” ~ As if there's any other choice.

one of the things that continually stalls me out on so many things I've been writing is this big fear of how things would be received, since I constantly feel like nothing I write ever comes close to my golden era (sink to swim, and it was just right, sneku). and I don't think I'm wrong; I might be a more technically skilled writer now but whatever magic spark of inspiration I had back then isn't coming back. But it's okay! cuz now that I've largely disconnected myself from fandom I can just have fun writing again. like I'm genuinely having fun doing all this worldbuilding and writing for sink to sleep even though sequels are ALWAYS a bad idea. but again it's okay cuz I never even have to publish it (and at this rate bnha will be finished before I am anyway), I can just write it for me and me alone and that removes the fear entirely. well, not entirely, I am always my worst critic lmao but it's different!! anyway I still love being mean to bkdk
