I would like to hear some opinions from sk8 fans for a sk8 fic I'm working on. I did it in poll format to make it easy to share a quick opinion but I welcome replies and reblogs giving your thoughts and opinions!

I can see it going either way for different reasons so i'm curious what others think!

Non-writers don't understand how much of writing is just googling things like "when was the croissant invented" for worldbuilding reasons and staring off into the distance.

girl shocked to discover that inaction can have consequences too

Friendly reminder that AO3 is fighting AI data scrapers on behalf of all fanfic writers!

According to the post below, AO3 issued a DMCA takedown after finding out that all works before March 2025 were scraped and uploaded as a dataset to potentially train AI. The ability to take legal action against scum like this is the direct result of people donating to AO3 so they can keep functioning and they don't pocket any of it because they are a non-profit organization.

So when you see the AO3 donation drives, please remember that this is what the money is going toward and support it when you can!

WIP Word Game

Rules: The person who tags you gives you a word, and you have to share WIP sentences beginning with the letters.

I was tagged by @just-my-latest-hyperfixation with the word EGGO! Thank you!!

All will be snippets from my steddie wips (I'll label each one).

E

“Eddie didn’t do any of this.” He snaps, his expression hardening. “He’s dying because he was trying to save us.” The nurse stands there; shocked. “I’m refusing further care. Please give me a moment to clean up and then I’ll leave the room free for you.” (snippet from 'starring role' posted on ao3)

G

Gareth was out of town for some family thing, Grant’s cousins were visiting, and Jeff had been dragged to some b.s. (from my fic 'violet hour' not yet out)

G

"Got it?”

“Got it!” The four chorus, creepily in unison as they run off to give their mothers a heart attack. (also from 'violet hour')

O

"Okay, Summer '83...Eddie and I..." Steve looked around at the concerning number of people in the store, he lowered his voice before speaking. "We had, like, this fling." (also the next chapter of 'starring role'!)

Tagging:

I don't have many fic writer friends on here yet so feel free not to join if you don't wanna but I'll give it a go.

@kazuinvocation @justmeinadaze @cinematicnomad @take-everything-you-can @mojowitchcraft

Your word is SUMMER!

rb if you’re still writing steddie and would like to be tagged in wip games 🙏

[labyrinthiancrossroads]

dialogue tags like "he rasped" or "she hissed" aren’t cringe. they’re seasoning. use them.

[labyrinthiancrossroads]

I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

[labyrinthiancrossroads]

people who use dog as a metaphor for love or loyalty or hunger or desperation or violence or devotion, I am kissing you on the mouth with tongue

scrolling through ao3, once again realising the one fic I want to read is the one I have to write.
