Got one of those: “I would read a whole story about this” comments about a fic.
And…
I…
You just did? A one-shot is still a story! Like, I wrote a story and you read the story. Boom. Done.
Short stories have value. Please stop acting like the only valid form of fanfic writing is long, multichapter fics. (And then y’all won’t even read fics that are in the process of being written, but that’s a different gripe.)
But back to my main point. Stop diminishing short stories/one-shots as “not a real story.” It’s demeaning and insulting, and invalidates the work the writer put into it.
One-shots are full fanfics. They have value as stories.

I felt like I needed to clarify some things before we could continue any more conversations on this godforsaken website.
I’m very proud of the European Robin, I think I really captured it.

Thursday Thursday:
Someone please come up with a (semi) reasonable IRL explanation for this, because it looks like Shaun is dangerously close to booping Roger’s nose

did your school have good sex ed?
#sex ed.#uk education#honestly by a lot of standards it wasn't bad at all but we never learned *anything* about consent or about anyone being other than het#so i say no and i ticked no but i'm aware that it could have been much worse and in a lot of places very much is#at least it wasn't abstinence-only!#(this was the 1990s in the uk (specifically south-east england)

can I be so real with you. can I be honest. totally aside from the moral panic about women on booktok being """porn addicts""" because they're reading erotica, I think it's so fucking goofy when people act as if there needs to be some kind of societal reckoning with how tiktok books "aren't very good." like, okay? they're commercial products mass produced for entertainment. tiktok didn't invent that; you're going to have to take it up with pulp magazines and dime novels and comic books. you guys would throw up if you found out about Fanny Hill.
