Don't get stuck on a scene

Not in the mood to write the scene you’re working on? Don’t worry about it! Make some notes and move on.

There is no shame in just jotting down the main points in a scene and revisiting it later. It’s ok to just not be feeling it sometimes.

i cannot possibly be the first person who has had this idea

[navxry]

Do you ever see something like this:

and think, "This'll be a fun little thing to read while I wait."

And then you read it and you're fundamentally changed as a person and you're left staring off into the middle distance as you contemplate life and love and connection and what it all means?

myfirst time in tumblr hi everypony its duckfuyu (or wreckroflaplace) fromtwitar :3

Two cake theory also means your small underrated fic can be someone’s comfort fic

[navxry]

Three modes of feelings toward characters as the writer is writing them:

These fuckers (affectionate)

These fuckers (annoyed)

These fuckers (literal)

[navxry]

Posting the final chapter of a fic is always a mixture of sadness that it’s over but also pride that you made it. You wrote a thing nobody else in the world has written ever

[navxry]

there are some internet friends where eventually you start calling them by their real name and then there’s times where its like nah son your name is crispy forever

"People mostly write and read very character driven, specific ship focused fic, because what most people want out of fanfiction is to focus on the romance between characters they're not getting in canon so they can soak in the vibes."

Yes, absolutely. And thank hell for all the authors who write character-driven, ship focused fic for us to soak in the vibes to.

But also…

thank hell for all the authors who write angst, whump, and hurt no comfort, for us to luxuriate in blorbo's hurt and pain and cry or cackle.

thank hell for all the authors who write cheating, love triangles and affairs for us to consume large quantities of popcorn to and yell 'oh no, they didn't'.

thank hell for all the authors who write case fic, mission fic, and intricate, plot-driven stories to replicate the feel of canon, when canon has stopped or gone wrong.

thank hell for all the authors who write 'fix it' fics when canon has betrayed us with bad vibes, plot holes and deaths.

thank hell for all the authors who write poly ships when what we need is just for everyone to get along and screw instead of screw up.

thank hell for all the authors who write gen fic when we're not interested in romance.

thank hell for all the authors in fandom, and all the wonderful, different kinds of fanfiction they write for us.

I procured a rather delicious cup of coffee from a 'pop-up stall' in Fontaine the other day. If you are not busy, perhaps we can get a beverage of your choice and have a relaxing stroll down the streets of my homeland.

fanfic: sometimes, you have to put more thought into the worldbuilding than the creators ever did

Alright, to ao3's soon to be arriving Wattpad Refugees, a basic guide to general user culture:

1.) Unlike Wattpads vote system that let's you like each chapter, the ao3 equivalent kudos only allows one per work. Everyone is generally quietly annoyed about this. To engage with each chapter, you're heavily encouraged to comment. Trust me, it makes people's day.

2.) Ao3 has no algorithm. By default it's latest updated work first. You can find things to your taste through searches, filters and tags.

3.) 'No archive warnings apply' and 'user has chosen not to use archive warnings' mean two very different things. No archives warnings means the work is free from any content that could require a warning tag (character death, graphic depictions of violence, non-con, etc). User has chosen not to use archive warnings means it could contain any of the warning content, be it hasn't been explicitly tagged. Treat it like an allergen. No archive warnings apply is allergen free. User has chosen not to use archive warnings, may contain traces or whole chunks of the allergen. If you're likely to have a bad reaction, maybe don't take the risk.

4.) Speaking of warnings, ao3 has very few restrictions on the type of work that's allowed. Whatever your personal thoughts or feelings on that are, thats how the site is. You're likely to run across some dark subject matters and a lot of people are uncomfortable with reading that. You're well within your rights not like these works and have your opinion on whether they should be allowed, but harassing the authors of such works (or any works) is more likely to come back on you than them. Ao3 operates on a strong policy of 'don't like, don't read'. Use the tagging system to your full advantage to only engage with the kind of works you want to see.

We look forward to welcoming you all and seeing the fantastic works you create. Happy writing!

(For the soft ask-game)

What would your 'tulip' be? I wanna guess daisy flower, just out of pure guessing lmao

End note: Oh also, could you slip in some of your persona's drawings? I wanna make something silly but i'm scared that i'll draw you wrong hdhsjsjsj

Ooh, I actually prefer orchids! I've always been fond of them and have find them fascinating with how they grow imo (especially in other countries).

My runner up faves are both spider lilies and forget me nots, but that's because I like using both in writing and also the meanings behind them drive me nuts HSKDBDIDJ

Also! For the reference of my sona, here you are! I'll put them on a read more:

As a note: the backside doesn't have shading or anything because I am lazy and couldn't be bothered LMAOOOOO (and originally was gonna color their own outline but was all "nah no ty"

Also, some of the doodles have refs. of my drawings and memes I enjoy LMAO they're so silly (just ignore a few of them)

Anyways, I hope you like these Mochi 🫡 these took me ages so I hope it's worth it!
