I'm so excited to have a stream to dig into later! Tell Dream hi for me

[scoops404]

are you in the traditional publishing scene at all? because i recently read yellowface and i've been wondering how accurate it all is

I have actual novels that I want to get traditionally published, but I’m not there yet! I haven’t read that book, so i can’t speak to how truthful it might be

[scoops404]

wait, like e-book publishing or a physical hardcopy?

You can do both with kindle direct publishing. It requires different versions of the text (EPUB vs PDF) but the hard part is that you have to format everything correctly and that’s apparently hard to do on the writing program I use, Scrivener

I need to hire like a high school senior with type A to figure all this self publishing shit out for me

My brain hurts. I can't get this to work :(((((

Before the month is over I swear to you I will have the original version of Hits Different up on kindle (saying this so that anyone who wants to annoy me about it can!! Bc that’s not annoying, that’s helpful)

[scoops404]

Okay fuck I spent literally all day at work researching

The original version will be called “Melt Your World” since someone else named their book Hits Different recently. Also, it plays into the melting ice metaphor that dances through the whole book

I have to make my own cover so wish me luck

HELLO TUMBLR 👋 i am ENORMOUSLY excited to say: i've written a book! and i'm writing two more! and they're all queer romcoms! and the first one, FALL INTO YOU, will be out in JUNE. there is a LOT of my heart in this novel, and i absolutely can't wait to share it with you 💜

if you've ever enjoyed my fanfic, particularly stories like What We Pretend We Can't See and I've Got Nothing to Do Today But Smile, then you'll love FALL INTO YOU. it's full of ROMANCE and JOKES but also REAL, MESSY PEOPLE with PROBLEMS and TRAUMA, because those are the stories i love telling! it's chock full of things i adore: set on an APPLE FARM in NORTHEAST OHIO, main characters who hate each other more or less immediately, gratuitous depictions of food, and they were ROOMMATES?, people healing wounds they didn't even know were still open, AND MORE.

i'll be sharing more about this book in the weeks to come (i promise i will try so hard not to be obnoxious about it 🫡 ), and about the next two as we get closer to publication! but until then, i just want to say: the fic stays UP and the author stays GRATEFUL, always. i am honored and humbled by your readership, and really proud of the work i've done for and with fandom, and that's not a tune you're ever going to see me change.

okay, thanks so much for reading!! hope you're all well; i'll just be here having one of the coolest and most surreal days of my life 😂👋💜

EDITED TO ADD 4/29/25: for those who have been kind enough to ask, you can PREORDER Fall Into You here in the US (or here in the UK)! Will have info to you ASAP on options for folks in other countries, this is all as new to me as it is to you, but will keep you very posted 💜

I posted this and then literally got extremely sick that same night like puking everywhere it was awful anyway I’m finally feeling fully recovered so I’m going to research this at my work desk today

My friends are trying to introduce me to a guy they think I’ll like but this requires me following him on Instagram for at least a few months so I can get used to him much like with introducing cats you have to slowly introduce the new scent so they don’t reject them outright because it’s too new

“What if he was Mario anon all along”

I’m now choosing to believe he was. Assigned Mario anon by Shiver. Great work here Dreamie you really wrote some bangers

Adding that to my belief system 🫡

I Didn’t Think I Shipped It But The Fic Writers for This Ship Really Brought Their A Game: a memoir.

writing fanfiction is the most fun awesome thing on earth. also terrible horrible awful one thousand agonies

[scoops404]

Fanfiction writers be like:

"here's the immensely time consuming 100K word novel-length passion project I'm working on between my real life job and family! It eats up hundreds of hours of my one and only life, causes me emotional harm, and I gain basically nothing from it! Also I put it on the internet for free so anyone can read if they want. Hope you love it!" :)

"Can't two guys be just friends?" If they stop looking at each other like that then sure

[scoops404]

one of my biggest gripes with the dt community is they just don’t know how to not gaf about things that they don’t agree with.

if you find a criticism to be wrong or a take to be awful, THEN WHY SPREAD IT MORE?! let it die out. people would rather add gasoline to an argument that they know won’t change or be productive for this fandom, rather than support things that they claim to miss like fics and art, when the only thing you are doing is continuing to center the fandom in drama that you could choose to ignore

at some point it is YOUR fault if you choose to engage in something that you know has historically a chronic problem in this fandom space
