This is why I read the reddit comments

Love when writers do an insane amount of unnecessary research for their fics. I follow an author that did like 8 months of intense research into 14th century Scotland so they could write smut about it, and guess what. It was some fucking incredible porn AND I learned about old Scottish politics

I don’t care how disgusting or fucked up a fic is. NO writer should EVER be harassed for writing taboo fics, especially when the warnings are properly tagged and you choose to go ahead and read them on your own free will.

you’re not morally superior for harassing real people for the sake of fictional characters and fictional stories. you’re just a bully.

Shout out to Characters who are shells of their former selves! You died and you’re not coming back! You don’t recognize yourself and neither does anyone else, and it’s anyone’s guess what the fuck you’re supposed to be now!

Maintaining a diversity of ongoing personal projects is important because it enables you to procrastinate on one by aimlessly tinkering with another, thereby creating the possibility that you'll finish one of them by accident.

i don't know who here needs to hear this, but please never ever EVER input your writing or (anyone's, really) into an 'AI detector' tool, be it for genuine curiosity or for an attempt at a "gotcha" moment.

simply put: they don't work. (note some studies around the topic here, here, here & here, for all my fellow academia nerds out there).

the few well-meaning ones out there simply aren't accurate (did you know that ai detectors think the united states consistution is entirely ai generated?!) and the rest are so nefarious that you're pretty much just feeding the work into an AI data scraper. you're essentially doing these companies a favour by giving them new data to harvest and regurgitate on places like chatGPT.

i know we all want to maintain vigilance and ensure we aren't supporting AI content, but this is not the answer. starving a beast is what helps kill it, so don't feed it.

Reblog if it's OK for other artists to draw your OCs

Sometimes I get too timid to send asks to ask. I want to see how many people are ok with artists drawing their OCs!

you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.

Thought this might help others who struggle when writing. I know I get in my head too much.

kicking my legs and giggling at the sleepover. can my OC who I've never drawn or talked about play with your OC who you've never drawn or talked about
