#needs beta readers lmao

[manjiroscum]

sooo who's interested in an enemies to lovers dark romance-fantasy story?

[artingstarvist]

Welp.

[actual-changeling]

still working on that one hurt/comfort fic (it just keeps getting longer and the metaphors are breeding like rabbits send help) and there's just something about having mulder call her by her first name when she isn't responding

he never calls her dana without having a very specific reason for it.

most of the time, it's an expression of panicked concern or an attempt to connect on an emotional level that they usually don't directly acknowledge.

aaaaaaand i can breathe. chapter 2 is done, and it's an absolute unit. goddamn. i'm vibrating with excitement btw. 🫨🫨🫨🫨

it’s wild with long-term WIPs, especially as someone who writes out of order, cause like... i wrote some of the scenes in this chapter over a year ago, and then have been slowly working on them and refining them and perfecting them over months and months… and then some of them i just wrote this morning. how am i supposed to feel okay about sending those new scenes out into the world? they’re so young! underbaked! aaa!

The urge to completely scrap and rewrite this chapter is so strong 🫠

[musical-chick-13]

My fucking God, I need someone to read this and tell me if it's in-character, but also I can't ask the average person to read it because. Like. It's a lot.

Hey I need beta readers for my cringe little fanfic

Its about Octopath Traveler, specifically Alfyn and Therion because I'm predictable, probably the first in a series of mostly disconnected short stories about the two having alcohol-spurred interactions. I wanna make sure that any perspective shifts aren't too drastic, that emotional through lines make sense, and that neither of them read as too OOC.

It's about 3200 words, so not exactly a huge read.

Warning for vomit mentions (Alfyn tells a gross story from his job) and alcohol (duh).

hmu and I'll send you the google doc link with commenting enabled. Respond, or don't, I'm not a cop.

[oneiro-nautical]

I've a really whumpy angsty fic gnawing away at my brain and I genuinely don't think I'll be able to continue the massive one I already have going until I get this one out of my system

[reploidbuddy]

You ever get that feeling where you itch about posting a new fic but you’re not that far into it and you don’t want to leave your readers hanging because of your slowness so you keep the few chapters you got tucked in but it also makes you go crazy?

Extra strong when you're like me aka the type of writer to finish everything before posting.

on september 26th i’m going to start posting an old story i found in my hard drive. i’ll drop one chapter a week. it’s an old sorazon cora lives AU that is extremely fluffy and makes no goddamn sense but i reread it the other day and i thought. this is just stupid enough to post. so. i’m going to do that. don’t let me forget.

it’s 11 chapters long!! and incomplete. which is the main reason i didn’t post it. i don’t like posting incomplete works. but i think some joy can be scraped from this story even tho it isn’t “finished”.

also i miss uploading multichaptered stories… so this is my compromise.

also. yes. bell-mere is in it. hehe

[dontcallmeeds]

I really miss having mutuals I interact with I haven’t had any on tumblr that I regularly interact with in years (I do on tiktok like absolutely lovely ones it’s actually how I got one of my close drag friends but the platform hurts my head) so if you want to be mutuals and yell at me in my dms or asks on here or my shitpost/personal tumblr pls do; I’m having a really not good time at the moment and I need a break from talking about the bad things with irl friends I really just want mindless fandom chats and to hear about what you guys like besides are silly little idiots. Absolutely no minors, 21+ preferred for dms because I’m an old dude and while I only really talk smut in AO3 comments and with my irl besties who are into fandom, I still just feel more comfortable that way. I do have a couple mutuals (I need to also comb my following list esp bc I follow from my og tumblr that I linked) that I repost stuff of and who interact with my posts, but I’d love to chat with some of y’all 😭. Esp some of the writers and artists!! ALSO I still am badly in need of a beta reader soooo!! My best friend was kinda doing it but she’s a single parent and just got a job at a law firm. Also also, I have audhd and various other shit so if I don’t respond just know I forget I have a body. I’m on tumblr more than any other social I am on so I’ll likely be better about interaction, but anyways. Tagging my fandoms and stuff feel free to interact but again minors DNI and 21+ for private dms. Love y’all.

EDIT: I am combing through my following list bc I haven’t done it since starting this fandom tumblr so if you see me follow from my personal hi, hello!

[paranormalplanet]

you know you're serious about a fic when you pull open google maps, start doing math, and have over 300 words of just "bare-bones" outline and not actually started on the chapters

[littledreamling]

nothing like sitting down with the intention of writing 500 words on a wip, blacking out, and blinking back to consciousness with 2.3k new words and a finished fic ._.

[thewolfprince]

Me, fighting off a migraine: I’m gonna listen to He Who Fights With Monsters.

Me, two minutes later: WAIT WHAT IF I COMBINE DEITY!DESMOND AND RPG-

[hjemne]

How do people know when they're writing smut that it's not just super cringy

[sgt-tombstone]

no one tells you that the worst part about editing your own fic with ADHD is that your brain gets bored halfway through every single sentence because you've read it seventeen times before...

idk if my fic is hard to read because of my writing style or just because my brain has decided to throw a hissy fit
