Wait where do you post your writing cause I wanna read it if that's ok

unless you like DC comics, specifically Batman / the batfam, i doubt you'll find anything of interest to read On My Ao3! i have posted 53 works over the past few years and they're all That

but then on this blog, my tag Snippets From The Bog has little unedited tidbits/scenes from my more recent wips and imaginings. currently all of it is some flavor of Welcome Home

Desperately yearning for the days back when if 15 people read and liked your fic, you would get 15 comments.

These days, if 200 people read and like your fic, you are lucky to get 5 or 10 comments. And that just seems so off.

I hate to say it, but back when fanfiction communities were smaller, they were a lot kinder.

Genuine question do any other writers feel a kind of loss when they’ve finished a story/have moved on to a new project? Like I actively miss my characters and my plot line and I love my current project but I also find myself constantly thinking of the previous and how I could find ways to expand on it… I don’t know if it was because that was the first work I completed and shared so it has a particular place in my heart or if I’m going to feel this way after finishing my current works in progress as well, but I don’t really have the words to explain the way I feel without being part of that project every day even though I still spend time every day with my new ones

to the one amangela fic writer who hasn’t posted anything new in a bit (you should know exactly who you are), i just want you to know that there IS in fact a rabid animal clawing its way through my chest every time i check ao3 and don’t see your name over a new work. just keep that in mind <3

Picking up a fic without checking first when it was posted, when it was last updated and how many chapters are there until you're on chapter 6, safe to say absolutely drilled into the story, reading at any free given moment, eager to find out what comes next. And then you click next chapter and see above that the story started in 2016. There is no clear info on how many chapters there will be just x/? but the last update was last year. It feels like being held at gunpoint and you don't know if the gun's loaded or not haha

That being said, I totally understand, as an artist who picks up projects then never finishes or takes a long long time to get to it. It's about creating after all and we could as well get nothing and never get into the story, not even crumbs of it. The author owes us nothing and yet I can just hope that the plot will reach a closing eventually.

keep toying with the idea of writing another danganronpa fic. like just a long masterpiece one and then leaving it there. still lugging the deadweight of my other unfinished wip but when i finish that, if i finish that, i might give it a shot.

You ever wonder if one of the reasons fanfic is sometimes better than the original product isn't because of, like, wish fulfillment, like you'd think. But because fan authors put a lot of work into putting characters into situations that suit them, and make sure their characterization is as consistent and true to life as possible? Because sometimes shows really are just out there having characters do shit just because the plot needs them to, not because the characters would do those things. It makes everything feel so forced, when a lot of fan authors are able to accomplish similar end goals without fucking over characterization to do it.

sorry to everyone who's been missing me/waiting for something from me, i've been slipping in and out of depressive fog for a week or two (and in general have experienced significantly worse depression than normal for a couple years, but that’s another story)

i long to get back, too; a lot of things to read and ideas to write and people to talk to. love y'all, take care
