Is this anything

[freshlysentientgarlicbrea-dart]

This is going to be a very unpopular opinion, but as a fanfic reader, you do not owe anyone your kudos and especially your comments.

As a fic writer, yes it's wonderful to see that your work is impacting people. Of course I'm delighted to receive comments, often literally kicking my feet with joy at the email notification. But I'm tired of seeing these moralizing attempts to "bring back commenting on ao3" or just generally shaming the average reader for not commenting on every chapter of every work they've ever enjoyed.

The fact is, fanfiction and fandom spaces are not a transaction where I create a work and in return am entitled to comments or interaction in general. What's so beautiful about fandom is that fanworks are created out of genuine joy on the creator's part. Publishing a fic on ao3 is an act of freely sharing your work to anyone who might enjoy it, not an economic transaction. Fandom is a community, not an economy. And if you're inclined to become an active participant in that community by leaving comments and supporting creators, please do! I am not trying to discourage anyone from commenting in any way. But for those who don't feel comfortable commenting or who simply don't want to, you are completely valid in refraining from doing so.

I know people are going to disagree with me on this, but I feel like it has to be said.

DC + DP sleepless nights

So all the bats have insomnia, and Danny is dead so he doesn't sleep often, also like all bats, have it. it's their schedule, even on days off they have trouble sleeping, so all of them. Except Duke, he actually works during normal hours.

Anyhow a really funny fic would be them running into Danny. I imagine gotham has a ton of 24/7 stores, cause ya know it's Gotham, but after 1:00 am basically no one is up, except Danny and the bats.

Danny first runs into Jason or more accurately Red Hood, at the convenience store on the corner of crime ally buying a bunch of these weird candies that Sam likes cause they are vegan but don't sell in Amity. So Danny with the whole stores supply paying with a credit card is just staring at Jason, who is in the first aid section with a bullet wound.

He runs into Tim next in civies, Tim at 3:00 am couldn't sleep and is at the skate park, thinking about a case, and Danny just joins him, (mind you both their eyes slightly glow, so it's creepy).

Next is Damian in civies at 2:00 am in a dark alley He sees the other boy petting cats and they hang out, Danny offers him a lolly pop that he doesn't take. They talk about cats and Danny mentions one of the cats isn't doing well. Damian later learns he was right.

For Dick he meets him as a cop, and this is disgust, a wrinkled nose, and absolute scowl as he stares at him, like he's dirt, before he throws a soda at him and walks off. Dick is insulted. (Danny does not like cops.)

Cass as black bat meets him during patrol when Danny mistakes her for Sam, when she starts signing, he realizes this isn't Sam. He apologizes and gives her a lolly pop and walks off. Cass after checking it for poison decides she has a new sibling.

I know there's still Steph and Bruce, but I dunno them well enough to do this I might have messed up for Cass too, anyhow yeah midnight adventures with Danny. Also if anyone wants a DC/DP discord server I was impulsive and now there is one, so comment/message and I'll send the link,

Thanks for reading :)

Incorrect DPxDC quote:

Jason: *learns he has contaminated ectoplasm and an only partially formed ghost core* can I get that in writing?

Frostbite: Certainly!

Later

Jason: *rolls up to the Batcave where everyone is meeting* GUESS WHAT? I DID come back wrong.

Dick: Jaybird, no you didn’t-

Jason: *slams doctor’s note on the meeting table* GHOST DOCTOR SAYS SO!

I tried to leave Kudos on a fic that was already deleted (i had the tab open) and I was expecting it to just bug out or not work but this is so much more unsettling

[freshlysentientgarlicbrea-dart]

I recently told an ao3 writer that I keep going back to their 260k word unfinished slowburn checking for updates for the last 2 years. They said I'm like that puppy that waits for his dead owner at the train station every day.

That's the realest thing anyone's told me online, I ain't even mad.

From

[freshlysentientgarlicbrea-dart]

Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says “Yeah I killed a huge spider…Shelob, I think?”

And Gandalf just blinks and is like, “You what now?”

“Yeah, killed it. Had to save Frodo”

Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.
