Me: wow a full weekend off? I can actually study and get some much needed work done!

My brain: what if you reread the entirety of “Where Soul Meets Body” for the first time in like 5+ years and stayed up until 6am doing so instead??

#I’ve read 30 chapters in the last 24 hours #please help #odesta #words cannot express how deeply I feel for these 2 #their love story is perhaps the greatest ever told #and this fic gets me everytime #where soul meets body #finnick odair x annie cresta #Annie cresta #finnick odair #hunger games #thg series #catching fire #mockingjay #finnick x annie #finnick and annie #fanfic #fic

Tumblr! Let me edit my own fucking reblog! I need to add more tags on that post!!!

#if youre wondering i hate slow burn with miscommunication most #wtf is hanahaki??? #also why can i freely edit every post but that one #slow burn is... fine? i dont care for any ships that employ slow burn apart from bubbline and id NEVER read bubbline fic #miscommunication is never ever written well in fanfic #'but my story--' no fuck you your miscommunication plot is bad #it works well in stories where there are fundamental incompatibilities with what characters NEED #it works well in shera proper because catra needs the exact opposite of what adora needs #catra wants devotion but also agency and adora cannot be devoted because she has to protect EVERYONE #and that means stripping catra of her agency too #and catra sees that as adora thinking shes bettervthan her #it doesnt matter how much they talk about it - their core feelings about the world and lack of psychological skills further push the clash #same for glimmer who wants agency and friendship when adora and bow are pushing her in a protective little shell #she sees it as being stripped of her agency!!! #she sees it as proof people think shes useless... her greatest fear #but adora sees it as protecting her #and the more glimmer lashes out the more adora just becomes Shera because adorq herself feels no use to anyone

thanks @bobafett for the tag i love tag games SO much

How many works do you have on AO3? 38! Huh! I don't know what I expected? (If you wanna be exact, it's actually 41 because I have 3 joke fics posted anonymously.)

What’s your total AO3 word count? 653,468

What fandoms do you write for? Whatever I'm into at the moment? Right now it's God of War. Earlier it was Linked Universe. Before that it was Daiya no Ace. But I'm not particularly loyal, it's literally just whatever idea that manages to stick.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Reflection -- a classic AA Batteries -- my beloved Dawn of the Fourth -- *evil cackling* ain't no rest for the wicked -- oh my god do people still click on this Denial and Deterioration -- I SWEAR I'M STILL WORKING ON IT I ACTUALLY ADDED TO THE DOC LIKE 3 DAYS AGO

Do you respond to comments? I try to! I try to catch every comment, but if a fic is on the older side and the comment isn't super long, I sometimes don't reply. Not because I don't like the comment (i love all comments i love you all) but because if a fic is not fresh in my brain I don't have much to say

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? DO NOT READ IT, but it's the shadows we cast. I was fifteen. I'm not linking it on here. It's still on my AO3 because I'm not a coward, but I'm also not very brave, so like, don't read my high school fic, you've been warned.

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Probably Candid? That one is SUPER fluffy, which is not normally my style, but you know, sometimes you just gotta flex your fluff muscles,

Do you get hate on fics? Eh, not really. I've gotten a few negative comments, but mostly from FFN, and I honestly don't even count those lol.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? No. I genuinely wouldn't even know where to begin.

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? Nah, crossovers aren't my thing.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? I have seen a fic that was very blatantly referencing one of mine, but I don't really consider that stealing.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope!

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Does the absolutely insane crack fic written on the tail end of a 29-hour voice call count?

What’s your all time favorite ship? Hmm. I read a lot of Merthur, but that's mostly because the Merlin fandom tends to be really good, and therefore there's a lot of good Merthur (although I do like Merthur a lot, super Shakespearean, only valid soulmate pairing I've ever seen).

What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? If I abandon a fic, I'm going to make an announcement. If I haven't officially abandoned it, it's still fair game. That said, Replication is like, on the lowest of low priorities.

What are your writing strengths? It comes with absorbing plot structure into your personality, but yeah, I'm a kick ass plotter. Also comedy. That also comes with the plot structure.

What are your writing weaknesses? Atmosphere/description. Worldbuilding. Also to a lesser extent, character voice -- I feel like I eventually default to everyone just sounding like me

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Depends on context, but it's always through the lens of "how does this effect the experience for the reader?"

First fandom you wrote for? I wrote a Star Wars fanfic when I was like, 9. First fanfiction on PURPOSE was for PJO.

Favorite fic you’ve written? I think the best thing I've written so far is DotF, but my favorite is probably The Disappearance of Narumiya Mei. WHICH I'M ALSO STILL WORKING ON, life just got REALLY WEIRD and I had to take a step back from it RIP

Tagging @tavina-writes, @ellie-tarts, @lieutenantbiscute, @aoryuucchi, @bytebun, @mimbotomy (no pressure if you don't want to!) and of course anyone who feels like doing this

#lazuli talks #i started writing disappearance for the Fun and then suddenly i had a bit of an irl love life which terrified me into putting it down #i have so many feelings about aroace narumiya mei it's so insane actually #this is definitely a case of 'lazuli in her echo chamber' but the fact that the widespread fanon of narumiya mei is NOT aroace offends me #do you see my vision #re: candid -- it's a very excellent textbook example of sports anime fluff #it is the middle slider of sports anime fluff. you can tell i edited it to be the middle slider of sports anime fluff bc it is exactly 10K #re: the insane 29 hour voice call crack fic #you can ask me about it. i won't be able to say anything though. #re: the anonymous joke fics. one was for april fools and the other was the greatest prank i've ever pulled off #solar if you're ever reading this i love you

[1moreoffkeyanthem]

I am in fact rereading Painted In Shrouds. Again.

#should I be working on my own shit yep #did I get struck by a kysterion mood Yep #literally that fic this the single greatest kysterion I’ve ever read #fic recs

FIC REC FRIDAY #4

ad aeternam. by darkness_shows_the_stars / @stars-and-darkness

His eyes are intent on her. They always are, but never so strong, never so scorching, as when he’s needling for information she’d rather not give.

“I want you to come and …” She sighs. This is more difficult than she had expected it to be, and that’s saying something. She’d expected it to be like pulling teeth, but the feeling is more akin to ripping off an arm. “I want you to come and pretendtodateme.”

There. Done. That wasn’t so hard, was it?

No, not at all.

Klaus’s face smooths over, washed of all emotion. “Would you mind repeating that?”

Guys. Listen. I don't go searching for fake dating AUs. Mostly because I'm not a fan of human AUs. When I'm reading klaroline fanfiction, I'm here for the fantasy element, the age old hybrid falling in love with the blonde baby vampire. Therefore, fake dating AUs just don't really blip up on my radar. But. Guys. Guys. THIS FIC ALRIGHT. THIS FIC HAS OVERHAULED MY ENTIRE BELIEF SYSTEM???? LIKE? IT'S POST-CANON DIVERGENCE???????? YET A FAKE DATING AU????????????? DO YOU SEE THE QUESTION MARKS HERE IT DIDN'T EVEN OCCUR TO ME THIS COULD BE A THING AND YET IT IS AND IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CREATION TO EVER EXIST?

Anyways. Yeah, go read it.

OR I AM DISOWNING ALL OF YOU

#klaroline fic rec friday #klaroline #klaroline fanfiction #i mean i am bias because it is a gift for me but #the fic wasn't even tailored to my tastes???? #and yet I swear to god #it has become one of my favourite kc fics of all time #like #h o w #ella how do you this to me every time #anyways go read it #you will laugh and cackle and scream and squeal #best shot of serotonin to the brain ever #caroline's relatives are absolutely awful and bringing a wolf to the dinner table was perhaps her greatest idea ever #klaus is utterly DELIGHTFUL in this #i've actually forgotten the key things i screamed over now that I try to think #my remembrance of it is just a haze of pure happiness #it's like when you got drunk last night and you KNOW it was a good night out because you can't remember a thing #yeah if you check the comments section my thoughts were pretty incoherent #ella i hope you're proud you broke me with this #fic rec

[clementineskesh]

i have spent the last week or so rereading haikyuu fic I bookmarked or subscribed to or whatever back in my days of being deep in the trenches in 2020-21 and my god. What a show/manga

#Like I love kghn I love bkak I love the relationships but reading the fics only made me remember how GREAT #the source material is like I picked up the manga off my shelf because I was like oh right this is the best story ever #But also I do love ship fic. It's just that hq by itself is the greatest story ever with wonderful and compelling relationships #And I want to see those relationships turn explicitly romantic

[batsandbugs]

I don’t know how to use this feature properly so it looks like I made this - I didn’t. @emistar0 did this and it’s so fucking cool!!!

I decided to try bookbinding awhile ago. There's a physical copy of The Great IKEA Game that exists, because it is absolutely my single favorite MariBat story

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! WHAT THE EVER-LOVING-

OH MY GOD! I CAN NOT EVEN BELIEVE IT!!

LOOK, LOOK AT THIS AMAZINGNESS!!!!

AHHHHHHH!!!!

#submission #the great ikea game #this is the greatest thing ever #somebody book binded my fic #somebody made my fic into a physical copy to be read and kept #i am literally dying #you have killed me #i love you

[americankimchi]

trying to find more padawan obi wan fics out there that don’t do the following:

turn qui gon into a villainous caricature by reducing him from a complicated, traumatized character to Horrible Person Who Abused Our Poor Obi-Wan Unjustly For His Entire Padawanship Without Pause

turn yoda into a crusty evil gremlin who is cold, calculating, and supremely manipulative. usually framed in a way to make him stuck in his old ways. basically the jedi equivalent of a republican conservative.

and for some reason ki adi mundi also gets this treatment??? what’s going on here

forget that the jedi are a religious community and not a government/military organization

ignore the jedi’s philosophies and ignore or misinterpret the tenets of the jedi code in bad faith

CONSTANTLY say that the jedi are incapable/not allowed to love because ~love is attachment and attachment is forbidden~ when this is so far off what canon AND george lucas tells us it’s hysterical

have obi wan defect/be abandoned by/get kicked out/otherwise leave the jedi order for whatever reason to join the mandalorians

if above happens, uses obi wan and the mandalorians as a mouthpiece to criticize the jedi order for being an inherently flawed organization for which there is no redemption

and instead does the following:

literally just treats the jedi with respect. please. i’m begging you. if i see another “the jedi order lets their children be abused within their organization because for some reason an entire temple full of level 100 psychic empaths would either not notice or care that one of their own is suffering” ice cold take i’m going to explode

#personal #most of the fics i've enjoyed reading fall into either one or more of these pitfalls and i just ignore it and move on #but just once....... just once i would like the ability to read a longfic where i don't have to slide my eyes over a paragraph #and willfully ignore its contents for my peace of mind hjgkhfjkdhgkjf #TO BE FAIR i have found many fics that i DO love with my whole heart that DO treat the jedi respectfully #but. statistically speaking. they are the minority............... #my kingdom to never see another ''the mandalorians were better than the jedi and obi wan would do so much better there<333'' fic ever again #like what do you MEANNNN #obi wan LIVED BREATHED AND LOVED being a jedi so much he is the DEFINITION of service above self #HIS FIRST AND GREATEST LOVE IS THE FORCE. HIS SECOND IS THE JEDI. #WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WOULD LOVE THE MANDALORIANS MORE. WHAT DO YOU MEEEEEAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN #THE JEDI WERE HIS FAMILYYYYYYYYYYyyYyYYYYyyyyyyyy #okay sorry i'm done sjkghfjkdg #it's just. the last three or four fics i've read. have all checked at least one or two boxes on my list and i'm tired 😔😔😔

.

#some of y’all will never go into the hockey rpf tag and realize that it has some of the greatest fics ever written #and that’s a tragedy #but if you do ever go into the hockey rpf tag and wish to read some of the greatest fanfiction ever written #you should send me an ask before you do that #and I will equip you with more knowledge and recs than you asked for #I’m gonna go reread the back half of into the wild blue #and wrap myself in it like it’s a hug #and then go to bed #and it will be good and I will wake up no longer feeling terribly sad #edit: send me an ask with the fic vibe you want + length #and maybe a ship dynamic if you’re feeling particular (I always am) #and if I’m at a loss I’ll make Ames help me

[kuiinncedes]

*wakes up*

*grabs phone*

*email notification*

*new comment on SotRL*

*throws phone to the far side of adjacent couch*

*goes back to sleep*

#NOT TODAY THANK YOU #not ever. preferably #I was not emotionally prepared for this #look... I think I might be the direct opposite of literally every writer on the planet #because seeing that email made me feel sick to my stomach #this has singlehandedly sent my entire day off kilter #I'm supposed to go to my grandma's today but now all I want to do is rot in bed for the rest of the day #literally anyone else would have been happy to receive a several sentences long comment praising them #but my initial reactions were 'how the fuck did you find this?' 'why the fuck would you read it?' and 'I should've deleted when I wanted to' #I've heard countless stories about sudden comments received years after the last update kicking authors into continuing the story #usually in PSAs to always comment or whatever #but I just feel awful #not because I feel guilty over not finishing SotRL or anything like that #just.. because this is exactly the reason why I wanted to delete that fic #people reading anything I've written makes me want to die but SotRL especially #it's old. the writing is bad. there's a reason I call it my greatest failure #I don't want people to read it. that's why I wanted it gone #and the comment was so nice too. much more than just a call for an update #I hate that it caused this reaction in me because it's clear the person only had the best intentions in mind #but I can't control my emotions. far from the first time I wish that I could #someone put me in the guiness world record book as the first person to ever get genuinely upset over a nice comment #I laugh shit like this off as the mortifying ordeal of being known or whatever but in reality it's so much worse #if I didn't have anything to stop me my entire ao3 account would be gone. I hate the thought of people reading my work #just further proof that I'm not a writer. that I spent six years deluding myself into believing that I was #trying to shove square pieces into triangular holes like a dumb toddler #I should have quit before any of this happened. erased everything and forgotten about it like a bad dream #I should have never started writing in the first place #if I had the chance to go back in time and tell one thing to my 11 year old self it would be to not even think about writing #it has brought me nothing but pain and suffering and I really should have stayed away from it #too late now. I've been irreversibly ruined

[petorahs]

Do you write fic?

i didnt but wrioney tag was so barren and so i took matters into my own hands. i had to put them in situations so i posted like two fics under anonymous on ao3 when ive always been a fanartist than a writer... here they are though if youre interested! it was pretty fun i think i should continue writing for myself :]

#aishi.txt #ans #anon #my sis was like: is wrioney that good and i was like no its kinda just okay but my friend said #they were basically gnshn shuake #and my sis went: ohhh that makes sense. i knew if youd ever write fic itd have smth to do with shuake #.... I WAS READ TO FILTH. #no but i will say the jump from shuake fic which has some of the greatest fics ive read in my life (novel length)to. wrioney was a large one #and i didnt have money to commission someone so i became a writer out of necessity #LMAO #dont look too hard btw i really just wrote those on a whim... silly fun first time attempts

[yourplaceinaugust]

so now i know that two of my coworkers read/have read fan fiction which like i don't know what to do with this info

#inner thoughts to keep me sane #im sure it's not to the extent that i do #but i also mentioned a pretty obscure ship to my coworker #and she knew what it was #it's not necessarily obscure in the fandom it's from #but the average person probably doesn't even know one of the characters in it #or if they do it's only in passing #but yeah we bonded over ao3 being down #and about reading really bad wattpad fics #we both agreed that if the beginning of a fic says #something about the authors first language not being english #then we were about to read the greatest fic ever
