things i have learned today: if there is a 20% chance of the outcome you don't want occurring, it actually occurs 100% of the time. consecutively.

*touching his extremely defined six pack* who did this to you.....

Would there be any chance that you continue the “Centrifugal Force” fic? 😭 I’m sorry if I bother you, but I just love your writing so much 😭

i've never had any plans of abandoning any of my in-progress fics, but... i just don't know. there are a couple reasons why, but i haven't really been feeling sefikura for a long while now.

i guess my best answer is... maybe? hopefully sometime in the future? i'm sorry i can't give a more clear answer!!

thank you so much for your ask, either way! it really means a lot to me. i didn't know there were people who still read and liked that fic, and that's as good of a motivation as any to start working on it again.

Every time AO3 makes an update, there’s a chorus of ‘and can we please please please be able to leave kudos on each chapter pleeeeease?!?!’

In theory, this is a nice idea. We’ve all smashed the kudos button on our favourite fics, bemoaning the fact we can’t give them all the love.

But ya’ll, kudos per chapter would absolutely fucking suck.

For readers, it would suck because it would compound the existing problem of making it hard to find fics that are good and not just long - not that a fic can’t be both! But there are plenty of Pulitzer-worthy one-shots out there that are buried way way down the list when ranked by number of kudos, because they’re beneath a bunch of 50/? fics where the author lost sight of where the hell the story was going 30 chapters ago, but their fic has had 50x the chances to be viewed so has more kudos. It would encourage authors to release their fics in lots of little chapters instead of a few longer ones/one-shots as they might otherwise have done (and as might otherwise suit the story).

And for authors it would especially suck, as it would compound the existing problem of people not commenting. Kudos are very much appreciated, but comments make an author’s day; but so few people bother, and frankly, it’s disheartening. Let people just click a button to show their appreciation for each new chapter? The hits:kudos:comments ratio would get even worse than it already is.

You can already ‘give kudos’ for each chapter of a fic on AO3 - by commenting. Hell you can literally write ‘kudos!’ It will make the author smile, I promise.

for the love of god, write all the self-indulgent scenes you want.  be utterly  shameless about including every last fantasy.  i know everyone likes to share quotes and quips about how miserably hard writing is, but please please try thinking of it as a joyful act where you get to be a messy human who makes art rather than some pain filled quest for icy perfection.

Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but

Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?

Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.

Y'all gotta stop saying "it's really bad writing" when what you actually mean is "I did not engage with the source material in good faith, if I engaged with it at all."
