A few things I (a fanfiction writer) want you to know

 I write fanfiction because I love the characters and ships I write. I’m not a published author, nor am I trying to become one. I’m here because I got obsessed with a stupid tv show. That’s it. 

Kudos and/or comments fuel me more than you can imagine. 

Every day, I get a ‘You’ve got Kudos!’ email. Every day, I open it. I take note of which of my fics have been given kudos. I take note of the usernames I find there. If you’ve left kudos on one of my fics before, I’ll recognize you. I take a moment to appreciate your support. I feel validated and inspired after this. 

When someone comments on one of my fics for the first time, I go ‘Oh hey there, new friend. Welcome to my world.’

If you’ve commented on one of my fics more than once, I know you. I’ve checked out your profile, your works, your bookmarks. When I see your username, I feel like I’m meeting a friend. I’m like ‘This is the person who likes the same rarepair I do.’ - ‘This is the lover of fluff/smut/angst fics.’ I remember.

I read every comment I ever get, many of them more than once. I try to answer them all. I’m not always fast with that, but I promise you, I appreciate the hell out of your feedback. Sometimes people ask me why I’m grinning so dumbly down at my phone, and many times it’s because I just got a new comment. You’re making my day with this. 

Sometimes I get a comment on a WIP I haven’t updated in a while, and in most cases, it motivates me to get the next chapter out. You’re reminding me why I started writing this story. You’re making me want to finish it. 

When I feel down and unable to write, I go back to the comments on stories that mean a lot to me personally. They give me new life. I treasure them. You have no idea how long they stick with me. 

My ask box is always open. You want to express an opinion on my writing anonymously? You have a prompt, an idea, a wish? You probably don’t know how easy I am to persuade to write something. Honestly, try it. 

No fic is too old to comment on it. Never. 

If you’re too shy to leave a comment, you are valid. I’m happy to have you as a reader. I’m a crazy fangirl like you. I’m dying to talk to you. If you can’t, that’s perfectly fine though. 

If you don’t know what to comment, believe me when I say that it doesn’t matter as long as it isn’t rude. You’re too tired to leave a proper comment? I read fics at 2am too my friend, I understand. You don’t know how to put your thoughts into words? You can literally leave me a HI and I’ll be happy about it. 

If you’re too shy to comment in English because you’re not a native speaker, you’re valid. You’re good enough to read fics in this language, you can be proud of that. I know how to use a translator. You may comment in whatever language you want to. I’m not a native speaker either, I’ve long stopped trying to sound like one. I take no shame in that. 

If you have ever taken time out of your day to read one of my stories, I appreciate you so much. If you have ever hit the kudos button on one of my stories, I appreciate you so much. If you have ever written me a comment, shared your genuine feelings about my writing with me, you are responsible for a big, stupid smile on my face and a significant bit of motivation. 

Thank you!

I know that Peter’s Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy technically has flaws but also....it doesn’t. It’s perfect.

Thoughts on Blitzen and Hearthstone as a mature relationship

>Most of the romantic relationships we see are at their beginning

>And many involve some kind of tension, dislike, or mistrust of each other

>Even many of the friendships we come to see, most start out rough or at least with rivalry

>This is everything from Percy and Jason, Nico and everyone, Anabeth and everyone – most of our characters begin as loners and learn love and friendship along the way

>Very few characters begin the story with a ‘best friend’ or someone that they trust with their lives

>They are relationships that begin from Hello

>Blitzen and Hearthstone are introduced to the reader as an established relationship (whether its read as platonic or romantic)

>They are also introduced as ADULTS

>They have already been through the fire

>They have already had their misunderstandings, their growing pains, and their differences

>And they come to the reader, and to Magnus, as adults who trust and protect each other

>And it is so important to HAVE these kind of relationships celebrated too, as much as the ones that are actively falling in love

>There is something beautiful in the moment of familiarity, in ease and comfort

>A romance does not always have to be full of conflict, fight, and pushing each other’s limits

>A romance can also be supportive, can be trust, can be humor, and familiarity

I want to be able to do this.  Create such beauty and emotional performances.  And share this beautiful language.

Blitzen Hearthstone Headcanon

Okay but like, hear me out....

Blitzen and Hearthstone met as teens, like 15/16 years old

>BECAUSE, Blitz was 18 when he met Magnus

>Hearthstone knows FAR too much about Dwarven culture and Blitzen to have met him for the first time at 18 and then rolled into day and night shifts

>Which means they knew each other for awhile prior to starting to watch Magnus

>Blitzen is still in trade school when they meet

>Hearthstone totally observes, several times, the paniced making of water fowl

>Hearthstone picks up pinball while waiting at the local teen hangout place for Blitz to get out of class, because what else is he going to do, sit at home all day?

>They get to finish growing up together

>Warthog story?  Totally a dumb teenage thing that was Hearth’s idea which is why he hates having it brought up.  Not his brightest moment.

[minervanyx]

(I have not been able to get out of my head - Blitzen is a demigod. His mother is the goddess of love.  Other demigods get powers from their godly parent.  Why not him? )

It’s a more-than-mild rocking of the boat that wakes Blitzen from his sleep. Less like some rocky waves and more like something really big just hit the water beside them. He pushed himself up a little, listening for a long moment, but when he didn’t hear anything that sounded particularly alarming or like the ceiling was about to come crashing down, he lay back down on the berth he’d thrown himself on when he and Hearthstone stumbled down into the hold.

I will never not love the EXPRESSIONS

For someone who loves robots as much as I do I sure do hate drawing robots

Also maybe someday I’ll learn how to do real panel layouts instead of 8 mile scrolls of rectangular images

Here’s the three original files because tumblr is the worst

And here’s a transcript below the cut because my handwriting is Real Bad
