The best advice i can give any creator is do it before you're good at it, do it BEFORE you're happy, do it while you suck, do it while you're doubting yourself and get stuck the fuck in, because waiting around to be "good enough" is a motherfucking trap of the highest degree. You'll get good along the way and better after ever project is complete. Remember, this is the greatest thing you've ever created, and then you'll do something else. You're only ever gonna get better, but not if you stand still.

When it comes to great, strong, female characters in movies, I don't think Rose from Titanic is mentioned enough.

She is a bright young woman who starts off trapped, depressed and suicidal and with the help and inspiration from Manic pixie dream boy Jack she gets enough strenght to ditch her horrible life and, within hours, she stands up to her abusers, tells of her mother, spits on Cal's face, single handedly saves the man she loves (while pushing and punching other men in the process), she decides to stay on the ship until the end with Jack, she survives the sinking and the freezing cold and goes on to live the best life she can with no regrets.

I just think she deserves more credit

i can’t stand “it’s not that deep” attitudes like even if it really really isn’t that deep just PLAY WITH ME. just fucking PLAY. have a meaningless but deep analytical conversation with me. just like think about shit for fun. does anyone else like to think about stuff for fun. it’s so lonely

Per @arinrowan's recommendation, I'm watching Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster.

And let me just say these Coast Guard guys at this hearing appear to be REALLY feeling this image:

PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3

The above examples have been provided with the authors' permission to demonstrate what these look like.

Basic rundown:

They are all 3 sentences long

Perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation

Like absolutely flawless English teacher-style writing with only a single exclamation mark, ever

No mentions whatsoever of character names, settings, situations, or anything that could be tied to the story

The usernames may be identical to people who exist on ao3, but the name is not clickable, and no profile is associated with it EXCEPT when you directly search for that name. What this means: the comments come from an unregistered (not logged in) reader, bots scrape the site for real usernames, attach that to the comment, and post

Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly

There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate
