Seriously, even if I try there is no way I can add a story, even a short oneshot or new chapter every single day!
There are several mutli chapter Olicity and Avalance fics that are using the Canarrow tag for no apparent reason and I feel like every time I update or post a new fic, they update or post a new Avalance or Olicity fic that uses the Canarrow tag... there's no way I can keep actual Canarrow fics at the top all by myself at that rate... I try but yeah, not realistic at all... so where are my Canarrow writers at? I could use some help over here ;)
We know how Sara Lance likes her coffee, black with lots of sugar! We learn that early on in Legends Season One. You might like your coffee differently and that's fine, so is artistic liberty in matters the show didn't elaborate on but if the show gave us the answer, stick with it. And the shows gave us several people's coffee preferences. Sara drinks it black with two sugars, Oliver likes it black, Felicity drinks a none fat latte with extra sugar (that makes zero sense on a nutrition level) just to name a few. We got the info. So do your research. Use another methaphor. Sorry things like that just really annoy me. But then again, I spend hours working out the smallest detail and researching things like Max Fuller's wife's name...
She doesn't like her coffee bitter, like her relationships and dirty martini, the woman mainly drinks scotch!, like do your research if you use it as something to make a point about a character and their actions.
And Sara was not sleeping with whoever tickled her fancy during her time with the Legends. There were a few choice people she hooked up with but she wasn't sleeping her way through time as so many Avalance people would like to make it out.
And who the hell thinks Ava's sweet while Oliver is bitter? It's like the exact opposite. Oliver's the sweetest person on the planet, Ava is so fucking bitter it's not even funny anymore.
And I don't why I'm over here ranting. Blame it on all the people tagging fics as Canarow simply for mentioning the fact that Sara used to date Oliver. That's a fact, you don't need to tag it that for two sentences.
I swear I get heat for also tagging a Canarrow story Olicity because technically in the story Oliver is with Felicity as in the present but Avalance and Olicity people tag a story Canarrow just because Sara and Oliver having been together is mentioned or they break up in the first chapter and them actually being together is never shown in the story.
Make it make sense and stop tagging your toxic bullshit with my ship! There are so few Canarrow fics out there don't throw your anti-fics in there I don't want to see those toxic ships under my happy tag.
I think I'm done now.
And where are my fellow Canarrow writers at? I sort of want to go through with "there can't be a none Canarrow ship at the top of the Canarrow tag" but I'm one person, my muse is flakey and given the amount of Avalance and Olicity people that are currently falsely tagging their fics Canarrow I will not be able to do that.
Wow this post just turned into something entirely different.
Anyway... I hope everyone has a great day.

I've got questions:
Barry and Iris' wedding was in Central City.
Dinah Lance, Sara's mom, lives in Central City.
So why exactly is Sara staying at a hotel?!?!
Like seriously writers? Do better!
Sorry, just something I thought about again today and thought I'd share. Always pisses me off.
Family is the most important thing to Sara and the writers regularly ignore that fact.
"I just want to go home. I want to see my family. Ollie, please, I don't want to die."

Also there is no such thing as a rule or whatever that says "you should no or are not allowed to comment on older fics". It doesn't matter when the fic was posted the author will always love and appreciate the feedback.
There is also no rule that says just because the fic has multiple chapters already, you are only allowed to comment on the last one. Comment on the ones that make you feel strongly, that you especially liked or that took you by surprise.
Honestly, just comment if you like the story. That's all we want, ee are sharing our thoughts with you, so we'd love for you to share yours with us.
If you got the time to read it, you got the time to write a short comment to keep the writer motivated and maybe even inspire them.
Okay I feel like I'm complaining a lot lately and I'm sorry, I don't want to be like this but I just don't get it.
I received a comment on one of my stories that I hadn't updated in months. And the comment was very motivating, short but they let me know just how much they like the story and I actually ended up writing a new chapter within the next week.
No reaction on the new chapter and I'm just sitting here not getting it.
I don't know. Maybe I'll get another comment when it once again takes me months to update the story?
But why not comment when you read the chapter? I mean usually my muse decides which story to work on but there are occassions I want to write but don't know on which story and in that case I usually go by popularity of the story. The less comments a story gets the less likely it is that I force myself to sit down and work on it.
I don't know. I just don't get it. And it makes me kinda sad. And it's not like we're talking about indepth paragarphs of comments here, I get that those take time and need to be done when you have the time. I get that, I write those comments on stories and it takes a lot of time and often at least one reread of the chapter.
I'm talking about the "great story, liked the new chapter can't wait for the next one" comments. Which I love and appreciate just as much. I just like reactions and to me a kudos isn't much of a reaction. It's a "this story's alright and I'll read it but it's not good enough to use words to tell the author how I feel about it." And that might be unfair but it's just how I feel.
Now I'm wondering if I'm the only one who feels that way about kudos. Let me know your thoughts on them.
I guess my rant is done and I'm going to try and get my as out of the self-pity zone it is currently in and into doing something productive.
Can't bring myself to write though...

Oliver Jonas Queen used to take Sara Lance flying on the small light aircraft he'd gotten to his sixteenth birthday from his father and there's no way that isn't a fact.
Robert taught Oliver how to fly.
Sara loved birds.
Oliver took Sara flying so she could feel like a bird.
Tell me I'm wrong.

Fanfiction Comments: Why Bother?
Genuine question: If ya’ll like a story, why not comment?
This question, born out of previous discussions and Discord chats, is one writers have been dealing with for a long time. Feedback/reblogs on art tends to be more common than on fics. Yet writers continue to beg for comments on stories. So what's stopping people?
Don't know what to say/an emoji/script feels too impersonal
Forgot to comment
Read everything and how do you pick out one part?
Rather give feedback personally
Feels like an expectation/I owe them
Send me a string of emojis? I love it. Send a single heart? I love it. Keyboard smash? I love it. Copy/paste a "thank you for writing"? I still love it. "I don't know what to comment or how to put my feelings into words." Then put that! That's a compliment! Can't think of anything to say, then "I don't know what to write but asgfdhgf I liked it." is fine!
Seriously, I don't care WHAT you put, because it shows me you cared enough to take a few second to show that love. I recognize and look for my regular commenters, even the ones who leave just a heart or "extra kudos".
Forgot to comment? Leave the fic open on your phone or get in the habit of dropping SOMETHING right as you finish. If you had time to make it through the last 100 words, you can probably tap an emoji. It's likely more of a habit to build up than anything.
Read it in one go and it's all a blur? "I read this all in one go and it's a blur, but I loved it!" We don't need specifics; just tell us you loved it on the chapter you stopped on. That in itself is a compliment because Hey! You loved it so much you had to keep reading!
Personal feedback? Well, I'll never say no to friends gushing about stories to me! And it might not be the same for everyone, but if you stop commenting on AO3 and only tell me personally...my assumption is you don't like it enough to say it publicly. I've spent many a time wondering why people stopped giving that support and what I should do better. If it's a friend, try asking them which they prefer! We can go back and reread (and do!) AO3 comments. Much harder on discord/dms/etc.
Owing authors? Look, we put a lot of time and work into writing and providing content for free. Hours of idea planning, actual writing, editing, catering to requests, etc. My partner once said I have a second job, writing, but I don't get paid. If you read and enjoyed something that someone put a lot of work into, it's nice to take a few seconds and tell them that.
You don't owe authors comments. They also don't owe you free writing. Sometimes, you forget there is an author at all when you're reading. But there is. A real person put out a story hoping you'd love it, or connect to it. You'd see yourself in the writing and feel less alone, or cheered up when you have a bad day.
Writing is art, and all we want to do is connect with you. Comments help bridge that gap.

Something that always confused me were the people claiming Oliver didn't love Sara, wasn't really interested in her....
Right. That is why he was the one pursuing her and making the first step, initiating their involvements EVERY SINGLE TIME!
He begged her to come on the Gambit with him, she was having some serious doubts and Oliver went all caps on her "PLEASE" with exclamation points like seriously? How desperate was he to get her to come with him? But sure, it was just about sex cause Oliver Jonas Queen wouldn't have been able to pick up just any woman simply to have some physical fun with while travelling. He was begging his girlfriend's sister to join him on a trip with his father on a freaking Yacht which made keeping their affair a secret pretty much impossible.
On Lian Yu he risked everything to save her, to keep her safe and to protect her time and again. He was the one who initiated the kiss on the Freighter. He was the one making it very clear to her how he felt and what he wanted. Cause, there's no way that kiss was cause he wanted to get it on... it was a "we may not see each other again because I might die and I need you to know how I feel" kind of kiss.
When she came home, he did everything within his power to convince her to stay.
He was once again the one pursuing her and initiating their relationship.
He was the one taking their involvements to the next step or trying to "We should think about getting a more permanent place.
" - "we? are you asking me to move in with you?"
Oliver also didn't want her to leave. Tried to stop her even when knowing he can't.
And the look on his face in 3.01 when she showed up and his "I hope so" after asking if she'd be around more permanently again.
Oliver Jonas Queen loved Sara Lance dearly, completely, selflessly and unconditionally.
Sara was the one he chose time and again.
"I chose you." Was true in more ways than simply his choice between Shado and Sara.
Oliver was willing to risk everything, including his life for her years before he became a vigilante, had proper training or suffered any sort of losses.
Irresponsible, "selfish" according to him, immature playboy Ollie was willing to die in order to look for Sara after the Gambit sank. Mr. "I detest swimming" would've jumped back into the freezing, stormy seas of the North China Sea had Robert not held him back.
But sure, it was just a fling and she meant nothing to him.
Okay, I'm done ranting now. But just saying, there was no one Oliver took more risks for than Sara. Saving Felicity or Laurel after years of training doesn't measure up to him saving Sara, getting between her and a gun etc with little to no training and a much bigger chance of him dying.
But that is just my humble opinion.

I can’t leave Slade behind. I’m not just going to write him off. We injected him with the Mirakuru. But it was me– I chose you over Shado.

Does anyone else sometimes get sad and insecure about mulitple chapter stories they write and post on ff.net oder AO3 and receive 50, 100, 200, + kudos but only one maybe two to five people from those comment regularly and with that let you know if someone is even still reading and enjoying your story.
I do primarily write for myself and I would still write if no one gave me any feedback but it would just be nice sometimes if people shared how they felt about the chapters I post.
Did they like it? Did they hate it? Did I catch them by surprise? What did or didn't they like?
This way it just leaves me in limbo and I have no clue if people even still read it or if I'm writing it for myself and could just as well not go trough the trouble of posting it.
I don't know I'm usually fine with it but every once in a while I get sad that after hours upon hours of writing, researching, editing,... people can't even take the time to write a short comment, just to let me know people are still reading it. Is it too much to ask for after you spent the time it took for you to read it to stay another minute or two to give me a sign? There really isn't any other way for me to know.
I guess I'm just in a weird mood and it's a weird day.
It would just be nice to know if anyone even still cares about the story.

Okay, so just a thought and correct me if my interpretation is wrong but...
When Felicity accuses Oliver of not caring about Sara's death because he was being "cold and rational" he replies that everyone is looking to him to lead and "if I grieve, nobody else gets to" which pretty much means he'd fall apart and wouldn't be able to get back up thus leaving his team to pick up the pieces and find Sara's killer. Without Oliver.
When Oliver grieved Tommy, he left Starling and lived in isolation for months.
So, if he'd let himself grieve Sara he'd done the same.
Or am I wrong and completely misinterpreting what he was saying?
