Hello

#where am i

[englishbad]

A few things I (a fanfiction writer) want you to know

 I write fanfiction because I love the characters and ships I write. I’m not a published author, nor am I trying to become one. I’m here because I got obsessed with a stupid tv show. That’s it. 

Kudos and/or comments fuel me more than you can imagine. 

Every day, I get a ‘You’ve got Kudos!’ email. Every day, I open it. I take note of which of my fics have been given kudos. I take note of the usernames I find there. If you’ve left kudos on one of my fics before, I’ll recognize you. I take a moment to appreciate your support. I feel validated and inspired after this. 

When someone comments on one of my fics for the first time, I go ‘Oh hey there, new friend. Welcome to my world.’

If you’ve commented on one of my fics more than once, I know you. I’ve checked out your profile, your works, your bookmarks. When I see your username, I feel like I’m meeting a friend. I’m like ‘This is the person who likes the same rarepair I do.’ - ‘This is the lover of fluff/smut/angst fics.’ I remember.

I read every comment I ever get, many of them more than once. I try to answer them all. I’m not always fast with that, but I promise you, I appreciate the hell out of your feedback. Sometimes people ask me why I’m grinning so dumbly down at my phone, and many times it’s because I just got a new comment. You’re making my day with this. 

Sometimes I get a comment on a WIP I haven’t updated in a while, and in most cases, it motivates me to get the next chapter out. You’re reminding me why I started writing this story. You’re making me want to finish it. 

When I feel down and unable to write, I go back to the comments on stories that mean a lot to me personally. They give me new life. I treasure them. You have no idea how long they stick with me. 

My ask box is always open. You want to express an opinion on my writing anonymously? You have a prompt, an idea, a wish? You probably don’t know how easy I am to persuade to write something. Honestly, try it. 

No fic is too old to comment on it. Never. 

If you’re too shy to leave a comment, you are valid. I’m happy to have you as a reader. I’m a crazy fangirl like you. I’m dying to talk to you. If you can’t, that’s perfectly fine though. 

If you don’t know what to comment, believe me when I say that it doesn’t matter as long as it isn’t rude. You’re too tired to leave a proper comment? I read fics at 2am too my friend, I understand. You don’t know how to put your thoughts into words? You can literally leave me a HI and I’ll be happy about it. 

If you’re too shy to comment in English because you’re not a native speaker, you’re valid. You’re good enough to read fics in this language, you can be proud of that. I know how to use a translator. You may comment in whatever language you want to. I’m not a native speaker either, I’ve long stopped trying to sound like one. I take no shame in that. 

If you have ever taken time out of your day to read one of my stories, I appreciate you so much. If you have ever hit the kudos button on one of my stories, I appreciate you so much. If you have ever written me a comment, shared your genuine feelings about my writing with me, you are responsible for a big, stupid smile on my face and a significant bit of motivation. 

Thank you!

Gintama 30 Day Challenge: Day 30

We’re finally on the last day, I finally finished something!!!

Day 30: Why would you recommend Gintama to others?

Whenever I get a chance, I always throw in Gintama to read or to watch. Gintama is not your typical shonen series were all the anime and manga tropes (ok they do but they make fun of it), they are actively breaking the 4th wall and parody every trope that is out there. It’s not DBZ or BLEACH as the protagonist is like a nobody and they become a hero and persevere. Gintoki is a 26 year old war veteran dealing with depression, he does what he needs to do to get by and shits on himself all the time. He learns life is not that bad to get by with the people surrounding him.

It is slow at first but you can’t help to get soaked into the idiotic situations they go through and you pick up from wherever and enjoy it.

But once you get into the serious arcs, it hits you like a truck and you can’t help to get soaked into emotions and then you say yourself, “fuck that was a really good story.” 

This would be probably my second fandom that I cared about to actually create something because I want to know more what happened to x,y,z character, and I want side stories and if the creator isn’t going to do it, then I will.

Okay I am done with this challenge. I am off to Japan right now to live my weeaboo dreams.

Day 28: A Character That Reminds You of a Friend

Gintama 30 Day Challenge: Day 27

Day 27: A Character You Relate the Most

I would I have to say a bit between Shinpachi and Hijikata, because both always end up reluctantly cleaning up other people’s messes.

People do not notice me but things get done, and if it doesn’t I turn into Hijikata and become the Demon.

Gintama 30 Day Challenge: Day 26

Yeah, I don’t remember when the last time I did this but I’m finishing it.

Day 26: Random Page from the Manga

From one of the later chapters.

I picked this one because of Sougo’s expression of the possibility that Ginoki is Kanna’s father. He’s more shocked that Gintoki would do such a thing because he respects him so much.

Hello new followers! Thanks to @ceruleankabukicho and @rike-with-love for tagging me. I feel like I don’t deserve it 🙇‍♀️ 

I’ve been incredibly busy with school and haven’t been active anywhere. But things are happening, I promise!
