You don't know this about me yet, but I AM a published autor, and I ALSO write fanfiction, so here are a couple of highly recognized writers that started in fanfiction and/or have published works that are fanfiction:

1- Dante - Dante's inferno (religious self inserted fic)

2- Homer - The Iliad and Odyssey (that's literally fanfiction)

3- Cassandra Clare - Shadow Hunters ( Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings fics)

An 4- Marissa Mayer - The Lunar Chronicles (Sailor Moon fics)

5- Rainbow Rowell - Carry On (girl please that's Darry fanfiction)

6- Naomi Novik - Scholomance (AN ACTUAL CO-FOUNDER OF AO3)

So yeah! Let's stop pretending fanfic writers are less talented or less deserving of acknowledgement.

Guys hear me out on this.

I’m a writer, and even though this is not my main blog, if I ever become a published author, I am not going to be discouraging fanfiction.

FANFICTION STARTED MY INTEREST IN WRITING.

FANFICTION AUTHORS SPEND A LOT OF TIME POURING THEIR BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS INTO THE FANFIC. THEY DON’T RECEIVE ENOUGH RECOGNITION!!

Thank you for listening to my first rant. (Of probably many others)

[lareinarata1960]

With more and more Ao3 authors restricting their works to the archive (due to AI scraping), they're going to be losing guest interaction. And probably generally feeling down because. You know. AI is stealing their hard work.

So! Now is a great time to stop by your favorite authors/stories and drop them some comments! They really appreciate it!

[lareinarata1960]

This is literally me, like... I actually refresh it every day to see if I have new comments... Please comment, I'll love to read you

me: I write for myself, not validation

also me after posting a fic *refreshes ao3 every five minutes*

(two things can be true)

[lareinarata1960]

I decided to make this even bigger so...

Never let the camera on by LaReinaRata_1960 on Ao3

(pretty much the same story but completely from Superman's POV )

Batfam + JL (where the Justice League finds out about the Batfam by accident)

To long for a one-shot but not really a micro-fic, anyway ENJOY:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a virtual meeting with the LJ Batman "disconnects" the camera... Except he does something wrong and now he thinks none can see or hear him but everyone on the JL it's watching him in the Batcave from a huge screen.

Wonder Woman: Maybe we should tell him... Or at least turn the tv off...

Flash: WAIT!!! Don't you wanna know what the bat does when he thinks nobody is watching????

Superman (trying not to sound to enthusiastic): Well maybe we could just take a quick look... :)

Here is a list of things the JL saw or found out because of this:

1) Batman taking off most of his armour and his mask and start working in some case in his desk in front of the computer (the angle of the cámara doesn't let see his face not OH GOD it lets se his huge pecs and arms in nothing but a gray underwear shirt

Flash: Well LOOK AT THAT, I always knew he was well build but that's a great look in so many ways

Green Lantern: No shit... This is making me realize some things about myself

Wonder Woman: ... I have better arms

Superman (2 seconds about to have a stroke): oh yea... Well... I'm just gonna... *Takes a picture with his phone*

2) A general panic gets on the JL when a dark skinned toddler enters the screen and tries to climb THE BATMAN

*Through the screen*

Toddler Duke pulling Batman's arm: *baby noises*

Batman looking away from his work to see the kid (his face still not visible on the camera): Oh hello chum, what are you doing here?

The JL incredibly confused and estranged because of that sweet voice they NEVER heard before:

Batman pulling Dukes up and carrying him on his chest while he keeps working: It's ok baby, your siblings we'll be back soon

The LJ:

Flash: HE'S A FATHER??!!!

Wonder Woman: this actually explains a lot of things

Superman (with his heart about to physically melt): ...oh... That's cute

3) A sassy teenager arriving home

Batman, still with the kid on top of him and still working, when a black haired boy enters the screen and throws a backpack on the ground

Batman: How was school?

Tim, annoyed: Boring, they keep teaching me thins I already know

Batman: Well what do you wanna learn about?

Tim (pulling a bunch of folders and papers out of his school bag): The Gotham strangulator...

Batman:...

Batman (surprisingly calm) : Did you steal a case from my desk?

Tim: I solved a case from your desk, you welcome

Batman (sighing): ok fine, put it with the others you solve that I have to present to the JL next week

Tim (putting in the desk a huge bunch of archives): oki doki

Flash: Wait so a kid do his paperwork????

Marcian: Wait so a kid SOLVES his cases???

Wonder Woman: Do you think that maybe is Robin? I mean I have never seen him from close but it could be...

Superman: I honestly need a brake

Batman *standing up with Duke on arms*: I'm gonna put your brother to sleep DONT DO ANYTHING

Tim (without even looking up from his phone): mhmh...

4) After a while of just watching Tim on his phone a little menace decides to show up

Tim (on his phone not paying attention):

Litle Damian arriving and standing with a straight face in front of the computer:

Flash (a little bit terrified): Can he see us??!!!

Wonder Woman: He shouldn't be able... But if that's Batman's kid, who knows

Damian (with the most serious voice a 8 year old can make): Computer, show me funny videos of cats

The computer *unresponding*

Tim: Dad told you not to play with the computer

Damian: Well father is not here right now, and if you tell him I'll tell him you just call him "dad"

Tim: no I didn't!

Damian: yes you did!

Tim: he's just my legal guardian!!!

Damian: But you call him dad just now!!!

Tim: you...

*Tim and Damian fighting and rolling in the floor*

Aquaman: oh so this is what having siblings is like?...

Superman: IS THAT A FREAKING COW??!!

*Batcow on the back of the image watching the kids fight without giving a fuck*

Wonder Woman: IS THAT A SWORD??!!!!

*Also Damian pulling a sword put of nothing to fight Tim and the JL freaking out*

*A teenage girl appears out of nowhere and grabs Damian as if it was nothing*

Cass: What are you even doing?!

5) A terrifying ballerina scolds her brothers (by this point the JL already has popcorns and bets on the table)

This ballerina girl who magically appears and stops the little psico stares at them in confusion

Cass: Why are you even fighting about???

Tim: None of your business

Damian: Timothy is a jerk

Cass: I already know that

*A notice from the computer catches everybody's attention*

(Batman calling them from the computer in a way the JL can only hear his voice but the kids and Batman can definitely see each other)

Batman *on the speaker phone*: Why is everyone at home so early?

Cass: My ballet class is over

Damian: I didn't go to school today, I didn't want to

Batman (exasperated): We will discuss this later, I had to go out there is an emergency in the city, DONT GO OUT! DONT KILL EACH OTHER! AND DAMIAN GET THAT COW OUT OF THE BATCAVE

Damian: But what if something happens to her???!!!!

Cass: Hate to interrupt but I have a good and a bad new

Batman: Just go ahead with the good news

Cass: I GOT A ROLE IN THE NUTCRACKER!!!

Batman (who has no idea what the Nutcracker is about but is trying to be a supportive father) : Honey that's great!! Are you gonna be some pretty candy princess or something?

Cass (who is actually gona be the rat king and is really excited about it): sure... Wana hear the bad news??

Batman: shot

Cass: Jayson is in jail

Batman:

Cass: Again

Tim and Damian trying not to laugh:

Batman: that's it *pointing to Tim* ho upstairs and babysit your brother, Cassandra and Damian I want you out of the Batcave until I'm back and someone call Richard so he can get your brother out of jail

*The JL losing their shit in confusion and laug*

+

Batman eventually finds out about this little incident but decides to ignore it and pretend it never happened. The LJ is amused

If you're following my story on Ao3 last chapter I told you about some headcannons I wanted to give to you exclusively for Tumblr so here they are:

(for context this is about my dystopia Marauders AU)

•Peter is non binary, but he doesn't know it or care (because of all of the post apocalyptic setting he has other things to care about) and he keeps using he/him pronouns and never tells anyone about how he feels, he just keeps existing

• Remember I told you James has an eyebrow piercing? Well he has a small tattoo too none knows about because he was very dramatic when Marlene got her tattoo he doesn't want them to lecture him too

• Lily and Barty dated at some point when they where younger (like 14 yo) and none remembers but them... Is not as if they're gonna tell them anyway

• Remus used to be afraid of bees (he still is) and it makes no sense because that's a man who can murder you half asleep and with one hand

• Mary had an imaginary friend while being on the labs and she still talks to him sometimes after she has a nightmare

A Hollow Sky Full of Ash in Ao3 if you're interested

A Hollow Sky Full of Ash by LaReinaRata_1960 on Ao3

With difficulty, he stood up and tried not to faint from the spinning in his head. A hand gripped his shoulder, and someone said something he couldn’t hear.

He looked up and recognized the white hospital clothing of the inmates.

“Are you okay?” the guy said—his voice finally reaching him, melodic and striking.

Remus looked up, and then saw the most gorgeous man he had ever laid eyes on.

The air left his lungs again.

---------------------------------------------------

Just Remus being a simp even on life or death situations...

If you're interested:

• Marauders dystopic AU

• Superpowers / evil lab subplot

• Gay gay gay

• Regular chapter update

Go ahead and enjoy

[lareinarata1960]

Worst date ever, the guy took me to a rock concert of a guy I didn't even know to the point I ended up stinking of beer and cigarette, didn't buy me anything, got me sitting on the back while he went on the slam and then refused to take me to my house because it will be a 30 minutes ride and insisted of me staying at his place where I didn't even have makeup remover or anywhere to put my contacts on and make me share a bed with his roommate...

(I went out with my dad, my brother is his roommate)

[lareinarata1960]

A Hollow Sky Full of Ash fragment from chapter 9

"Well yeah, that’s true. She always loved kids. If it were up to her, she would’ve filled our house with so many kids we could start our own commune.” He smiled at the memory of his mother—warm brown skin, kind eyes, magic hands. “They loved her. At Hogwarts, I mean.”

He laughed a little. It had been a while since he’d thought about those memories. Some were painful, hard to remember but others were gentle and full of light.

“You know, Marlene used to say she was gonna marry her when she grew up?”

Mary laughed hard at that. He joined her—it was funny.

“Oh, I can imagine that,” she said.

---------------------------------------------------

Mary and James friendship is my new reason to leave, also Marlene being in love with Effie in every universe CANNON AS FUCK

[lareinarata1960]

I just post new chapter of A Hollow Sky Full of Ash and I can now tell you that we had Marlene's back tattoo revealed:

This is the aesthetic!!! Wooooow, I'm no tattoo artist but if someone wants to make their own design go ahead and tag me so I can make it cannon for the fic, wiii!!!

Anyway go read chapter 9... Some interesting things happen

[lareinarata1960]

As an artist (specially one that consumes a lot of fan arts) doesn't happen to you that you se someone's work and be like I KNOW WHERE YOU GOT THAT REFERENCE!, Like yes I spent an abnormally amount of time in Pinterest, enough to now exactly what image you used for reference that draw, I know the picture, I feel like I'm part of the process now, I feel like a prophet!

... Or is it just me?

[lareinarata1960]

I'll shall say this will also work with Jace and Viktor from Arcane

the pookies

[lareinarata1960]

A friend just told me lilies are toxic for cats... I don't know if anyone has ever wrote about this before but just think...

Lily, Regulus animagis form as a cat, he never understanding why he felt so sick about Lily and James together and keeps blaming it on jealousy... But what if there was more to it? What if no matter how hard he tries to accept it and how much he wants to like her and be happy for them no matter what he just CAN'T DO IT

Because Regulus was never supposed to be with James, there was always gonna be something bigger, something stronger to keep them apart, and it's not like Lily wants to just him, no it's just a big dam tragedy.

[lareinarata1960]

This was me telling my friend about the current fic I'm writing:

I need more people that think like her so go read my fic

A Hollow Sky Full of Ash by @La_Reina_Rata60

[lareinarata1960]

I have a Marauders Fic with Post-apocalyptic setting, superpowers AU where everyone is gay and this is my first attempt to get you to read it.

This are some headcannons I wrote on the end notes of chapter 4:

▪James has an eyebrow piercing (no further explanation, it’s just part of the vibe).

▪Remus' face scars look less animal and more medical—you know, because of the lab thing.

▪They are NOT the same age in this AU: Remus is 20, James and Lily are 19, Mary and Marlene are 18, and Peter is 16.

▪I need you to imagine Gryffindor and all the places they go as actual post-apocalyptic settings, please. (I will describe more of how things look in future chapters, but for now, just use your imagination.)

▪Marlene’s hair is kind of a jellyfish cut, but more dystopian.

▪Lily is my medium-complexion queen, and if you dare imagine her skinny as fuck, you are NOT allowed to imagine her in this fic.

▪Mary’s hair is 4A curly, but she had to cut it short because of the labs (don’t worry, it’ll grow back over time).

▪Marlene has a back tattoo, but I won’t tell you what it is yet. :)

If you are interested enough go check it on Ao3 here's the link: A Hollow Sky Full of Ash

[lareinarata1960]

Fic where you'll have simp doctor Lily that doesn't want to acknowledge her feelings because of a fear of being too much as usual and badass strong and independent (but with heavy PTSD) Mary who hates to think she's a burden for the people she loves...

Oh and also Post-apocalyptic setting...

And Mary has plant control Superpower because of an evil lab that kidnap her...

IM JUST SAYING!!!

The fic is : A Hollow Sky Full of Ash

[lareinarata1960]

I just have spent 14h on my school... Not all that time I was in class but in this period of time I had my graduation pictures taken, a three hour exam, went to the gym, took over 6 diferent classes and published a new chapter of my fic...

I arrived at 6:30 am, it's 8:24 and my mum just pick me up.

I wana fall in a coma for the next three days thank you very much.

[lareinarata1960]

I just love Remus and James chaotic duo dynamics because who else will be acting like this in a do or die situation

Just imagine James Potter on the middle of a fever dream and Remus is just there like "this is all your fault"
