Posting the final chapter of a fic is always a mixture of sadness that it’s over but also pride that you made it. You wrote a thing nobody else in the world has written ever

writers whenever they’re starting a new fic: I have these ✨ vibes ✨ now I’ll have to build an entire plot and write an entire fic about those vibes

#captain swan #so so so stunning honestly #cinematography was on POINT this season #and it goes back to what I was saying in another gifset's tags about how I love when he wears black and they have her wear white #and they stand next to each other and contrast each other #and yet they look so good together. Just standing next to each other #it's astounding and beautiful #and the way they have her walking into the light slipping through the trees in this one ahhhhhhhh!! I love it so much

#captain swan #many thoughts head full #I love several things about this set #first I love how often she wears white/cream and he wears black (obviously) and we see them next to each other #it's just such a stark contrast and it's symbolic and it's cute and it's beautiful #I often just love seeing them even sit or stand next to each other and these gifs are no exception #they're just beautiful #he's so dark and broody and handsome #and she's so golden and light and bright and beautiful #I just love them #but also for some reason this scene gives me vibes of like... #Captain Swan sitting on the back porch. Watching their grandkids play #like just so casual and fond with each other #as they talk and look out on their yard and watch their kids with their grandbabies #IDK why. It makes me so soft

I miss OUAT... not because it was such a great show or anything... but I miss the the Captain Swan fandom days, the experience of being part of a community. Of hunting for spoilers, speculating about storylines, suffering through cliffhangers and hiatuses, writing and reading fanfics, analyzing characters, and yes, even the occasional drama. The shipmates, fandom friends.

Never before and never after the OUAT/CS fandom I've been part of such a vibrant, creative, funny and passionate community.

It's been a great few years, and I just miss it.

#captain swan #once upon a time #ouat #absolutely #it was a great time #still is but obviously it's not as alive and vibrant

I have a question for the fanfic writers among you: How do you treat your work in progress when a very similar story is put out there? Do you go on writing - in the spirit that everything is unique in its own way - or do you abandon the piece - in the spirit of preventing 'superfluous' contributions?

Let's add a further wrench into the process by saying the recently published work by another author, so similar to your own, seems so much better written than your own (granted we are always our own worst critics). Where do you go with that?

Maybe this is a question for readers, too. Do you mind reading similar works/story lines?
