"AO3 doesn't need a "dislike" button"

Um, actually, it already has one. Depending on your specs, it might look a little different but over all it looks kinda like this:

You can find it at the corner of your screen, which corner is dependent on your layout.

Anyway, if you dislike a fic, you can hit this Dislike Button until the fic goes away. It really is pretty amazing actually.

Thanks for tagging me, @sanguinarysanguinity! My current WIP must still remain Confidential, but here's seven sentences from my other WIP, the Vimes/Vetinari one. For context: at the end of the book Men At Arms, we stumble upon the fact that Carrot carries a sword which is rather remarkable. Unbeknownst to him, it has the hallmarks of Ankh-Morpork's old royal family, and is a clue that Carrot is the Lost Heir To The Throne. Both Vimes and Vetinari notice this at the same time. In my fic, Vimes picks up the sword from where Carrot has left it and gives Vetinari a patented You Wanna Make Somethin' Of It look, like, 'You wanna mess with this kid? You got a problem with him? Then you got a problem with me, don'cha? What do you think you're lookin' at, anyway, punk?' Meanwhile, from Vetinari's perspective:

What he was looking at, his Lordship began to suspect, was a weapon of mythic dimensions. Scuffed and battered, but underneath still sterling, and sharp, and unforeseen. Now that his attention had been drawn, Vetinari could just make out the shadow of an archetype here, a force that might one day compel belief. A threat, certainly. An opportunity, perhaps. A gigantic headache, either way.

What he was not looking at, as it happened, was the sword.

I have lost track of who's writing WIPs at the moment, but I know @thetimemoves is, and also @herebesherlocks, so I'll tag them and anyone else who wants to play!

May Prompts 2024

Dear Writers:

It's nearly May! The month of merry little thoughts, divine mistakes, and frivolous whims.

Time to set aside that fantasy trilogy that's been stuck in the mud all winter, the six-act tragedy in blank verse you've been labouring over--and write some random bits and bobs!

Visit your mind attic. Pull open the drawer where you hide your terrible ideas and scenes that are waiting for the right story. (I know you have such an attic and such a drawer because I do as well 🙄) Dig around— not with the idea of spring cleaning, which will only produce an empty drawer and a tidy attic— but because it's a treasure hunt.

Dust off the lawn furniture, put on your sandals, take your laptop outdoors. New environs, new inspirations.

The point is this: Last year* some of us wrote and shared a month of little daily fictions. There were drabbles and 221Bs and flash-fiction and mini-epics. There were prompts, which some of us used as a starting place, and sharing of minifics amongst ourselves, which led to more inspiration. 

Wanna see some more?

I've been hoarding ideas since last year and am now opening that drawer. I plan to write a short something every day in May, and will share my words with whoever wants to be tagged. If you'd like a daily prompt, I will be supplying that. 

No pressure. While some structure creates opportunity and creativity thrives within structure, this exercise is not meant to create anxiety or trigger your inner completionist. (My internal taskmaster is taking the month off.)

No judgement. No prizes for reaching 31, no awards for creativity, no certificates of participation. Just cheering one another on.

No rules. Use the prompt or don't. Write 100 words or 1000. Any fandom, any characters, any headcanon. Or your own original creation. Write every day or whenever an idea strikes. Share or don't. 

No guilt. Fail gleefully, write terribly, get out of the boat and swim.

Correction. One rule: write some words. 

*Credit goes to @notjustamumj for last year's inspiration. Eternal thanks for that idea!

Please reblog! I'm tagging a few people who participated last year or expressed interest, but I’m sure I’m leaving someone out. Let me know if you'd like to be tagged for prompts and sharing.
