“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.”
— Stanley Kubrik

The evolution of my early femslash shipping experiences.
1. My first bury your gays heartbreak.
2. The one that made me think all the queer ships can have hope 🤡.
3. The first time I was queerbaited.
4. The second time I was queerbaited.
5. The first time I kinda wished the show had lasted long enough to queerbait me a third time.
6. The first time I was given a femslash ship but not the femslash ship I actually wanted.
7. The first time I was convinced that 'if one of them was a man they'd have been canon'.
8. The first time a femslash slow burn actually became canon. Alternatively. The first time a tragic ending didn't piss me off because it did fit the story.
9. The second time I was given a femslash ship but not the femslash ship I actually wanted.
10. The first time I experienced the feeling of 'I wish this had come out when I was a kid'.

When your favorite writer posts a Work in Progress and you swear you aren't going to read it til it's marked complete-- but an email arrives to notify you of a new chapter and you click the link anyway. ��
Fanfic writer reactions
I’ve done one of these before, but felt like doing another today. :) Thanks to everyone who made the gifs.
When you post a fic and wait for a response
When your mutuals and buddies give it love
When it didn’t get the response you expected
When it gets more love than you expected
When another writer you fangirl over likes or comments on your fic
When a brand new person you have never interacted with likes or comments on your fic
When you get a negative comment
When someone tells you your story emotionally compromised them
When your friends post their own new fic updates
When someone leaves a negative comment on a work written by one of your friends
When you finish reading one of your friends’ updates
When someone leaves a long and detailed comment on one of your fics
When someone includes your fic on a rec list
