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"

Maul my memes❤️

(Got behind posting these so stay tuned for every maul meme Monday for more or find the rest on my ig!)

I’m noticing an increase in new fic writers on AO3 who…uh…mayy not know how to format their fics correctly..so here is a quick and VERY important tip

Using a random fic of mine as example..

The left example: ✅✅✅

The right example: ❌❌❌

Idk how many times I’ve read a good fic summary and been so excited to read before clicking on it and being met with an ugly wall of text. When I see a huge text brick with zero full line breaks my eyes blur and I just siiiigh bc either I click out immediately or I grin and bear it…it’s insufferable!

If a new character speaks, you need a line break. If you notice a paragraph is becoming too large, go ahead and make a line break and/or maybe reconfigure the paragraph to flow better. I’m not a pro writer or even a huge fic writer but…please…ty…

this isn’t really anything but my roommate and I have been laughing at what a flirt Kenobi is in Clone Wars

Just realized it didn’t post with audio?? Anyway the audio I used was from Gravity Falls season 2 episode 16 “Roadside Attraction”

Would you mind drawing Darth Maul please? With the fool pallete with G10 (or A10 if you prefer). I am a huge fan of your art, thanks for your time!

Fool indeed

Aw, thanks so much, that is so kind of you to share!

I love drawing Maul. Thanks for playing, too, and enjoy!

Flesh & Steel: Complete

O.M.GGGGGG it's done! Flesh & Steel is officially completed! It's 340K words, which is insane. Sorry I haven't been very active about posting on here. Life is crazy, and honestly, writing and posting on AO3 were about all I could do. But it's done and posted along with an extensive explanation of the lore.

Enjoy!

I'm off to try writing an original novel now lol.

Everyone in the Galaxy: that guy Savage is a wild wreckless animal! 😨

Characters that have never experienced affection before, or haven't experienced it in a long time, finally getting to experience it? Top tier.

Said character freezing up for a second, not really knowing how to respond, but not wanting it to stop? T o p t i e r.

Said character trying to clumsily return the affection in their own way, because this is Good and they don't want it to stop? T O P T I E R.

im a blorbo apologist but also they did every bad thing they did and i will get mad if u ignore that. complexities

[kotic-kryptid]

That time of year unfortunately

[kotic-kryptid]

It's not very common to see, but I love it when Maul has JUST enough self-awareness to know other people view him as unstable and dangerous, and that hurts, but he has no idea how to fix it.

Sometimes I can’t draw something for months, but here I have two pictures in one go. Actually, there should be a couple more arts further on, but I don’t have enough patience, I wanted to show them now.
