Hey so I'm officially at this point where I had to come in here to scream at you about your insane fic, cause it's time. As promised, I've had one hell of a serotonin comedown these past two days where I'm scouring the Internet for a similarly unreachable level of dadmight high (and failing) so I did just burst into tears for like 30 seconds earlier today lmao (tho my satans monthly sacrifice did start yesterday so that could be it). Your fic is so so so well written, and pacing is incredible, and the plot, the characterisation, the dynamics? Incredibly satisfying. Everything I wanted and even more of things I didn't know I needed. A lot of long, incredibly well written, well loved pieces of writing happens to be very romance oriented (which I'm in no way complaining btw, love a good romance like many people) but maybe because I fall in the ace spectrum, just well fleshed out platonic dynamics make me incredibly feral, especially when it's sometimes so HARD to find them. And then fics like yours cross my path once in a while and it's everything. Sorry for being intense about this but to give you an idea, I picked up my sketchbook for the first time in probably 4 or 5 years today. My life's been kinda, off kilter ig since I moved here and started uni, so even after getting through depression and everything (yay grayscale winters!) it sometimes feels like I still haven't gotten on the wagon completely. Just. A lot of love for not only writing this fic (and putting an incredible amount of work into it) but also deciding to share it with the rest of us. I really really appreciate it, and I wish only the best for you. Also good luck with your move! (Unsure if it's already happened but I vaguely remember it being on a weekend, so next weekend?) Unsure if you're a local but if you need an extra pair of hands to help out (you're moving internationally yes?) let me know (or not cause we're literally strangers lmao what am I saying but I do mean it if you're super fucked with the move) cause couple of months ago I moved and doing all that shit alone was insane and it was only across town. I have a bunch of questions about the fic actually, so I'll either do another ask or go back to the comments. Good luck!

-cross

So I am kinda late to this because I am trying to spend time these days writing my final papers but instead I spend my every waking hour procrastrinating it so hard that I'm getting to some critical point

First of all DO NOT apologise for being intense I love that so much! I am intense. I love intense reactions to my art. It's this whole thing, I am now in the middle of a conversation with my friends about how art is a dialogue and this type of art is made for reactions from people, for having that art loved and appreciated and for driving people insane with it <3 and I am so glad all of these were accomplished

Sadly I do not thing I can help you with this dadmight void, my friend ventea does write some dadmight stuff but nothing has gotten to this length haha. I am personally not even sure how or why I wrote it, I somehow sat down during summer holidays and planned the whole fic over the course of 2-3 days and then I wrote it in 3 months (it is written, just very unedited so what I'm doing in free time is editing new chapters before posting them). A fever dream, I swear

And yea! I am aroace and autistic so I need more excellent and well-developed stories where romance is not the focus or not the only relationship. I also find different unique relationship types interesting to explore in fiction and the fact that people seem so fixated on just one type gets annoying ngl

(fun fact in my dnd campaign one of the most important relationships for my character was, in fact, romance, but now he's grieving because he thinks the one he loved is dead, and it will get complicated <3 essentially they trauma bonded and so even if they manage to solve the Problems, it would take effort from both of them to heal and solve the issues they would so certainly have)

FUN FACT i saw your ask when I woke up like 2 days ago? and I was in bed and when I saw you say you picked up a sketchbook I audibly gasped and I said something out loud but I don't remember what but ahhhhhh! ah ah ah! omg that is the best feeling <3 that is so great that is so cool and I am both happy with myself that my art did that, and happy for you! I have also dropped art for a while during pandemic and only picked it up again properly last year and the feeling is GREAT

Finally, thank you, I am not moving! But I am going to Ecuador for a month for a fieldtrip related to my studies, which is very exciting and it's hard to believe it's real at this point, but it is and it's happening so soon!

And feel free to ask me any questions you want about the fic <3 I will do my best to reply haha

I can't stop thinking about this one fic I read this weekend aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

[littlegreenpinetree]

All of my works are archive-locked from now on. I am sorry for any guest readers who have been quietly enjoying or commenting on Woodland Paths – or any other fics of mine – but. I can't do this, the data scraping for AI – in which my fics were included – has been the final straw

If you are a genuine reader who wants to keep quietly enjoying – making an ao3 account is really easy. You're still anonymous on ao3 this way

So... Yeah.

This is a slow fandom zone

None of that "Oh no they bomb-dropped all the episodes in a week 1 month ago, I'm late!" "The tag hasn't been active all week is the fandom dead?" "I only got a hundred shares the first hour no one cares about my art"

Slow down

Take a deep breath and slow down

Fandom is YOU. And me and everyone. If we doodle stick figures for a show that ended 30 years ago we aren't "late" or "doing too little", we're playing dolls in our own time and having fun with works of art that mean a lot to us

You can literally watch and engage with something that aired in 2004 as if it aired yesterday

If the tag hasn't been active for 14 months guess what? If YOU post there, it isn't dead. Literally you can talk about anything you want whenever you want there is no weird law against watching things that people aren't actively talk about

Let's be deranged about stories together

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"

thank you to every single fucking person on this god forsaken site that has ever posted your own art or writing. You really put a vulnerable, important part of yourself out in the open on the hellscape that is the internet and if that isnt an act of bravery and a labor of love I dont know what one is

Throwback to when I took painkillers and woke up with Photoshop open on my computer to this image I had made

I just feel the need to scream at you about Woodland Paths. It is so blasted amazing and I thought that you needed to hear again how good you write and how much I adore Yagi and Izuku and how terrified I am for whatever All for One is up to and you're amazing again so like thanks

Also cause like I'm dying to know and if its a no that's completely okay and like no pressure but could we pretty pretty please get like even a one-sentence preview of the next chapter it will give me life

Oh nooo I haven't noticed the ask I am somehow bad at that and December has been hell for me, but thank you so much! You're so nice and I'm glad people still appreciate this fic :D

Preview of the next chapter, what an amazing question *goes to check what the last chapter was about and what the next one is about*

Take your pick:

Izuku almost gives Tsukauchi a heart attack

Uraraka bullies Izuku into talking about his problems

Izuku gets a hug

Repeat after me: I draw so good. Not everything needs to be a banger. I'm not a content machine I'm a person who makes art and art takes time. Inspiration comes in waves and when it recedes that's when I should let myself rest

Reblog this if you would not only accept, but welcome fan art, moodboards, etc. of your fics

All of these used to be so common for people to show their appreciation of different fics and authors, and I think it’s a shame people don’t do it anymore. I love seeing fan work for my fics!!
