Something that I think is important to how I approach fanfiction:
I don't write to get better. I don't write to make good fics. I write because I enjoy writing. I publish because I have fun with that. I don't edit, because I don't enjoy it.
I don't write to get better at writing. I pick and choose "improvement advice" even if it would make my writing better based on what's interesting.
Sure, I get better by writing. That's what comes with repetition, and it's nice to see. But that's not the goal. The goal is to write.
The goal is to have fun. And if your fun is "bland" or "bad" or "cringe" or "overused" then who cares? Anyone who says that clearly isn't your target audience. And even if your target audience is only you, only during the writing process, then that's good, too.

Okay with the caveat that I have not personally verified this, but it does appear to be supported by google support threads and their abuse policy--
User sloan_spencer_author on instagram reports that another author they know had their Google docs access suspended for sharing explicit content.

I know that lots of y'all on f1blr use google docs, so I'd encourage you to back up your work locally (on your hard drive/an external drive). I don't know what a good alternative is--I've been using Proton Drive (since I already pay for a Proton email) and I don't see anything in the terms of service about prohibiting explicit content, so. Maybe that and Word or OfficeLibre? Man, I don't know. Our cyberpunk dystopia sucks.

To be honest I wish there was more leftist war and military sci-fi media outside of Star Wars (which fucking fell off and is pretty toothless politically nowadays outside of Andor which is based), Wolfenstein (Fell off), Gundam (which is still good) and Metal Gear Solid (Which is fucking dead. Kojima is now working on his dream projects with Peele and Del Toro and is never coming back.) that's less about the horrors of war and more about the virtue of blowing up fascists with 227 mm MLRS.
Like I get that war sucks and is no fun. I don't like seeing people suffering or in pain but I also possess the doublethink that war is necessary to end such things as fascism and genocide and these two opinions don't contradict. Sure wars suck but they are often necessary.
I want something about some random partisans on the eastern front assassinating a Nazi general or a Mil-SF about some soldiers stopping a fascist coup to their democracy. Stuff like that. Like Inglorious Bastards or Django Unchained for example. There's no "Both sides" or "War is hell" aspect to those. It's just wish fulfillment about how killing Nazis and Slave owners is good and it fucking works. Hell, the OG Indiana Jones films are a perfect example of this.
You ever seen this film, Sisu? It's about a random borderline immortal finnish guy wrecking an entire Nazi platoon out by himself and it's fucking great. It's what I am talking about. Like you know how Fascists and right wingers always latch onto the big bad empire in a lot of media because they just look way cooler than the good guys? I want to do the same with good guys in media.

Go off my dude.
I see a lot of women daily who have the dorito ratio to a comedic degree, and they're not buff, they're usually fat. I'm no sure if its a regional thing or I just started noticing it when I came to Texas bc I started paying attention more, but I see it a lot.
And I *knew* a woman like this who used to talk about how shitty people treated her, even doctors when she had her kid were going on about how her 'masculine' pelvis and hips would cause her problems and it freaked her out. Her baby was delivered with zero complications.
And like...there is no reliable way to tell if a skeleton is male or female (No, forensics are not an exact science, they only get it right about 70% of the time, and that's generous) because there is no 'anatomically correct' male or female shape.
Preference is fine. I myself am not immune to a nice big titty chick in a plate mail bikini. There's a place for that, and it's good! But I also want diversity! I want my plate mail bikini lady with an hourglass figure but also I want women built like the 2001 monolith who wear full, functional body armor. Neither of these are incorrect or bad.
It becomes bad when society says there is only one 'correct' male or female form. It's also intersex erasure! Intersex people exist and they're *so* diverse and wonderful and they are proof that biological sex is a spectrum, and by extension, so are our body shapes!
The female-male anatomy discourse on Twitter about spartans is killing me because my shoulders always were naturally broader than my hips and I sure am not equipped with a spermatozoa pipe.

Kelly was given an official unsuited weight of 250 lbs and that's even with Halo being mostly written by dudes and having just invented Spartan Vale (who looks Like That and has an unsuited weight of 224) at the time.
(That stat is from what Waypoint was doing around Halo 5 times, those dossier numbers are concurrent.)
Weight is a stupid number in fiction that nobody gets right because weight is a stupid number irl that nobody gets right due to the huge variation in appearance/density/structure between individual human beings, but still. I feel like that has to count for something???

Okay, so, looks like Google Docs might actually start implementing their rule about not sharing explicit content. (This includes writing.) How in the ever loving fuck am I supposed to back up 1,000+ stories that equate to 3 million+ words into fucking Microsoft Word????? And efficiently, for that matter?! HELP.

Today in obscure Doctor Who jokes:
Somebody on Twitter pointed out that the Big Finish companion Hex is canonically from the year 2021, so when he occasionally abbreviates the word "suspicious" to "sus," it's probably an Among Us reference.
The punchline is that this character was actually introduced back in 2004. It was made-up future slang that they happened to get right.
