Fanfic tiktok is wild... I see so many people saying shit like "I could never read anything below 60k!!", or "What story can you even tell in under 5k words?" or "A oneshot below 10k isn't even a story!" or "I always filter completed fics by 100k< only!"

And I'm like...

A) which fandoms are you reading fics for where you have this kind of offerings on the regular?

B) have you heard of short stories? If you truly think every story NEEDS to be longform to connect with people, I sincerely feel sorry for you.

C) Average novel length is between 50k to 100k. I'm sorry, but CONSISTENTLY demanding fic writers to push out fics of that length is insane. Just think about it: YOU DEMAND AUTHORS TO PUT OUT FICS THAT COMPARE TO COMMERCIAL NOVELS IN LENGTH (AND QUALITY) AS A BASELINE.

Yall are wilding.

homophobic pearl is so goddamn funny. i need a fic/comic series with her following narumitsu around and setting up all these cartoonish traps to try to separate them but they keep backfiring and accidentally bringing them closer together and she just keeps FUMING

like that one Billy and Mandy episode where Billy tries to separate Nergal from his aunt, lol

You know what would be really funny-

Narumitsu wedding however, in good old ace attorney fashion, a murder takes place,

And none other than Maya Fey is arrested for it!

Like how would they go about explaining where the crime scene was and what was happening-

It would be a shock to the public for sure-

Well-known defence attorney Phoenix Wright and Chief Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth in a relationship and married-?!?!

Outrage- The headlines in the papers!!

I can explain it a lot better in my head than in words 😭

If I had a nickel for every time there's a book co-authored by two authors about two rival agents working for opposing forces which are starting a war when they come to the realization that the organizations they belong to aren't worth fighting for by talking with each other and also finding out that they're in love I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

Gave it a shot 🤟

SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE THIS BUT ITS OCTAVIUS AND JEDEDIAH I CANNOT FIND ONE

Any artist. I need duplicates. I need triplets. I need a universe full of this meme with Jed and Oct.

“Ya don’t even know what music is!” 

“I do too!” 

“Ah, yea, nah, that poetry nonsense you romans are always hummin’? That ain’t real music, man!” 

“Uh- How dare you, I will have you know that I commissioned Horace for the Carmen saeculare particularly due to his heightened understanding of lyricism, meter, and melody! … Well, that and he often used the Sapphic meter, which I am quite partial to.” 

Jed raised an eyebrow, and Larry choked on his coke.

Every single fic update there is an author trying frantically to find the right balance between a nonchalant aside of "leave a comment if you enjoyed =)" and clinging desperately to the coat tails of a random stranger, dragging along behind them on the street wailing "Please, please! I have to know what you thought! I'm desperate to talk to people about this! Ask me about the alliterative repetition! Ask me about the symbolism!"

"youve already written that trope" yesss. i like it a lots. i will be writing it again. 1000 stories of the same trope over and over again for ten million years

interrupted kiss trope but instead of second guessing themselves and going OH MY GOD WHAT WAS I THINKING, theyre like GOD FUCKING DAMNIT. and they BOTH keep trying to kiss the other but things KEEP HAPPENING that make it so they cant.

Oh you like reading stories where characters are cursed and ashamed of it but then their loved one/s show them that they are loved all the same? Uh huh. How’s it like being queer and/or disabled?

[thingsjusthappensometimes]

love whenever in fake dating fics two characters cuddle during a movie night with their friends or something to make their relationship seem real and then they just naturally slip into doing that when they're alone too

it's the little things 🥲💖

No no no you don't understand. I don't want to write a fic. I want to have written a fic. These things are not the same.
