Update on Everything That I am Not

So I meant to post chapter 2 at the start of this month, but uh- haha chapter 2 has REALLY been kicking my ass for some reason, so that hasn't happened yet :') I'm still working on it! I'm sorry for the delay, I promise it's gonna happen, just crossing my fingers and hoping it won't be another month woops

I... may or may not have also come to the realisation that I'm not sure what I'm doing with the first half of the story :'') I adore it to bits, I really badly wanna write it, I just need to plot it out a bit more.

But in the meantime... here's a small teaser for the next chapter under the cut!

Sun looks between them all in confusion. He has… no idea what’s going on there. Should he ask?

“I’mma be honest, whenever I hear the word ‘rise’ I always think of that one Elmo meme,” Lunar comments, breaking the staring contest. “Y’know-” they put their hands in the air and looks up as if beholding something. “Rise.”

… What?

“You fit that meme a bit too well, Lunar,” the other Sun says with a tone of weariness.

Lunar gives him an impish grin. “I know. I try.”

You know what? He’s just not gonna ask. If he starts asking now he’s going to be interrupting them every ten seconds with another question. Whatever family inside-references are being made here, he doubts it’s relevant to his mission. He can find out later.

Regarding my fic Everything That I am Not

I haven't exactly got anyone to bounce ideas off of, so I thought I'd send this out-

Is there anything in particular that you'd be interested to see happen in the story? Any events, bonding moments, subplots, shenanigans, etc?

Just looking for a smidge more inspiration to tie everything together, and it's always good to have outside opinions :)

Some Incorrect Quotes for the characters in my Fic Everything That I am Not because these guys are not leaving my brain anytime soon

Lunar: I scare people a lot because I walk very quietly and they don't hear me enter rooms so when they turn around I'm just kind of There and their fear fuels me. ~ Servant Sun: Wow, I'm going to get a good grade in therapy, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve ~ Moon: So uh, remember how I said Monty, Foxy, Puppet and I were gonna have a calm night out for once? Sun: Yeah... Moon: Well, we're in jail- Sun: *hangs up* ~ Eclipse: Be careful, I thrive on negative attention.

Unable to resurrect his dying dimension, Lord Eclipse sets his sights on conquering another to rebuild his kingdom, sending his Servant Sun as a spy in the hopes that he can locate the Newton Star for the Lord to eventually swoop in and take over unchallenged. Eager to please his Lord the Servant accepts the task, working to gain the trust of the resident celestial family and give his Lord the information he needs. A nerve-wracking and difficult task, but anything for his Lord, right?

He’ll endure the terror of a new world. He’ll risk whatever cruelties they might inflict upon him. He’ll get to know them, their strengths and weaknesses, their… their hobbies, their lives. Talk to them about his issues. Play games with them. Become… part of their family.

He knows he shouldn’t get attached. He just can’t help it.

Lord Eclipse always did say he was too empathetic for his own good.

Me: Hmm it's been a couple weeks since I watched TSAMS/LAES, I should catch up again, I wanna see how Dazzle's doing with her new body :)

*VIDEO UNAVAILABLE, ACCOUNT TERMINATED*

Me: w Me: what

(Would uh,,, someone mind explaining what happened? Does anyone know why Youtube took them down?)

I'm normally one to not worry so much about the quality of writing with these shows because to me they've always just been "the dumbass fnaf rp /aff". But. What the hell is this character assasination.

The fuck do you mean Moon suddenly doesn't care anymore. The fuck do you mean he's okay with killing Earth.

Really?? After EVERYTHING. Everything he's done to keep his family safe and make them happy. All the character development he's gone through. All his struggles with trying to prove he's better than the old him.

He's just suddenly.

A cold-hearted villain. That's it.

I'd actually be on board with this if it weren't for the way they're seemingly doing everything in their power to just turn Moon into an irredeemable asshole- There were some really interesting lines in "Moon KILLS EVERYONE" that make so much sense, like when Moon mentioned everyone getting in his way to stop him from doing things when he just wanted to do something, and now he's decided "fine, I'll BE selfish then for once" for example. I really like that as a motivation, but why would he just stop caring for his family?? I would've been on board if it was something like how I thought it was going originally, that he's convinced this is the only way to bring Solar back, if he can just do this then everything will be okay again. He knows this is bad but it's the only way, right? He doesn't want to do this, doesn't want to hurt his family and tear his relationship with them apart, but it'll all be worth it. Maybe this is selfish, but he needs to do it. Maybe they won't forgive him, maybe Solar will hate him too, but at least he'll be alive, right? So long as they're all alive and well, he can live with that. And then the others are fighting back because they don't want Moon to go down this path, they don't want to lose him, too. We can find another way, please just stop.

As it stands it just kinda feels like they're forcing things in a specific direction in order to justify whatever resolution they have planned, which at this stage seems to be bringing the Old Moon back. And honestly, bringing back the Old Moon is a fascinating concept to me, it would be so interesting to see how that would go- how would he react to everything that's happened in the time he missed, how would he interact with Sun, how would Sun interact with him now that he's started coming to terms with how toxic their relationship had been. But at the expense of whatever the hell they're doing to the New Moon? Not worth it to me.

I also have a lot of feelings about the way Earth just COMPLETELY decided "oh okay screw you then" with barely a hint of actively wanting her brother back- like come on you're telling me that when the Creator betrayed her she struggles to come to terms with it for weeks, but with Moon she gives up just like that??? But I. Honestly barely even have the energy anymore.

Why. Just why.

Was I the only one reminded of that scene from Big Hero 6 where Baymax almost killed the villain during today's LAES episode?? Gave me CHILLS. Both terrified and ecstatic, I love seeing calm and friendly characters absolutely LOSE THEIR SHIT

[noivoom]

Earth: *talking herself through her dilemma, relatively calm*

Ruin: *walks into the room*

Earth:

[noivoom]

Haha heeeeeyyyy did anyone else get taken the FUCK out (emotionally) by the old outro music on today's episode ("When Sun and Moon FIRST SEPERATED") or was that just me

[noivoom]

Ya'll. YA'LL. I just had a thought- the song My Way by Frank Sinatra fits Ruin PERFECTLY. I mean just listen to it??

It's honestly hard to pick any specific lines to highlight here without just copy-pasting the entire song but I'm feeling these two bits in particular:

I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption [...] I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of losing And now, as my tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say not in a shy way Oh no Oh no not me I did it my way

*Gesturing wildly* do I even need to explain here?? His chance for new friends and a better life when his Sun and Moon fused, only for the virus to take it all away. All the grief and pain he must have went through, and his plan to get rid of the Creator Council so none of this will ever happen again. Everything he had to do to stay alive and ensure the plan worked. Seeing it through till the end, despite the cost.

I faced it all And I stood tall And did it my way

(I uh, also found a more dramatic version if anyone's interested? Almost like a villain version if that's more up your alley for Ruin)

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

[noivoom]

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

AO3 Etiquette

It would seem a whole new kind of AO3 reader/writer is emerging and it is becoming clear not everyone quite understands how the website community works. Here is some basic guidance on how most people expect you to go about using AO3 to keep this a fun community archive that funtions correctly:

Kudos is for when the story was interesting enough to make you finish reading. If it sucked or was badly written, you probably left. If you finished - you kudos.

If you liked it, you should comment. It can be long and detailed or a literal keysmash. Writers don't care, we just love comments.

No critisism unless the author has specifically asked or agreed to hear it. Even constructive critisism is a no-no unless an author note tells you it's okay. Many people write as a fun hobby or a way to cope with, among other things, insecurity. Don't ruin that for them.

Do not comment to ask the author to write/update something else. It's tacky and off-putting and will probably have the opposite effect than the one you want.

There is no algorithm, it's an archive. Use the search and filter function to add/remove the pairings/characters/tropes etc. you want to read about and it will find you the fics that fit the bill.

For this to work, writers must tag and rate stories. This avoids readers finding the wrong things and missing the stuff they want. I don't care how cringy that trope is in your eyes - it gets tagged.

Character A/Character B means a ROMANTIC or SEXUAL relationship of some kind. Character A&Character B is PLANTONIC, like friendship or family.

Nothing is banned. This is an implicit rule because banning one thing is a slipperly slope to banning another and another, until nothing is allowed anymore. Do not expect anyone to censor for you. Because of the tags system, you are responsible for your own reading experience.

People can create new chapters and sequels/fic series any time after they "complete" a story. So it's considered perfectly normal to subscribe, even to a finished story. You can even subscribe to the author instead just to cover your bases.

Do not repost stories or change the publishing date without an extremely good reason (like a complete top to bottom rewrite). It's an archive, not social media. No one cares what's the most recent, only what fits their tag needs.

Avoid deleting a story you wrote if you hate it - orphan it so others can still enjoy it, without it being connected to you anymore.

This is a creative fanfiction archive. No essays on your insights or theories please. There are other places for that.

I KNOW there's plenty more I missed but I'm trying to cover most of the basics that people seem to be struggling with.

I invite anyone to add to this, but please explain, don't berate.

Wishing all of you a very merry "I suddenly have the motivation and time to write a minimum 10k fic"... please
