Someone left a really nice comment on my latest fic and now it’s disappeared :,(

Tragic story in development. More at 22:00

[notsimplysusurrus]

I think I need an emotional support writer to sit with me when I'm working on fics and reassure me that it's okay for two stories to have a similar scene. I ran into this when I basically re-wrote my 3-year-gap fic and I'm running into it again now on my current project.

Like, you're using the same characters and sometimes they're going to have similar reactions or similar traumas. It's going to happen, it's fine.

No one's going to look at two similar scenes across two entirely different stories and say, "Well this writer just can't come up with original ideas."

Sometimes the same people just choose to do the same things in different universes. Chill out, it's all fiction, buddy.

Thesis: the rise of fanwank and anti culture correlates directly with diminished understanding of what “romantic”, in a literary sense, actually means.

It doesn’t mean “this is ideal or healthy or even realistic”. It means “this is beautiful, this is tragic, this is grotesque, this stirs emotion”, even if it’s not, as @starryroom puts it, something you would be comfortable seeing play out in front of you at Taco Bell. It’s about grandiosity and mythology and heroism writ large. It’s about playing with the id, as beautiful and terrible as it can be.

TRRST Ch. 5: The Sapphire Chateau

After like three months (apologies :,) life got busy), you, too, can enjoy the Doctor having a bad time

sometimes the best fanfics are written by middle aged adults with years of writing experience who simply know how to craft a good story. but also sometimes the best fanfics are written by a sixteen year old girl with something deeply wrong with her

simm master appreciation post bc I love him

look at his smile

he's so silly

[notsimplysusurrus]

Stunning. Thank you, thank you

I think I’ve gone for the ‘ole amber/hazel route but tbh I don’t remember haha - just that it’s always been a struggle!

Ooo what I need now is some else asking the Doctor what colour the Master’s eyes are and him describing it all dreamy-eyed.

Then clearing his throat and blushing like he’s not stupid in love with that maniac, but you can’t hide, Doctor. They know!

I know it's part of the straight jacket or whatever but it was absolutely INSANE of them to put simm master in a collar. Like

His ass is NOT beating the puppyboy allegations

Seeing his face that close up brings me back to my ten!simm woes of WHAT COLOUR ARE JOHN SIMM’S EYES

I have published 173k words worth of Thoschei smut, and I still could not tell you 💀

The Master, probably: So, if my boyfriend thinks I’m dead, and he starts seeing other people…that’s cheating, right? I’m pretty sure it’s cheating.

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

[notsimplysusurrus]

"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.

writer’s block (dry) = no desire to write, no ability to write (bearable)

writer’s block (wet) = HUGE desire to write, no ability to write (very evil)
