I never download my fics but I happened to check in one of the 15-minute periods ao3 was up and I got ONE fic downloaded and it’s my saving grace. I am taking my sweet time with this fic like I never have before
i’ve started to think about ao3 audience interaction as kinda comparable to doing a live reading in an intimate little bookstore, like kudos are everybody who stayed til the end and applauded, comments are everybody who waited to come up to talk to you afterwards, and bookmark comments are the little snatches of conversation you overhear outside.
this helps me feel better/less anxious about responding to comments with some form of thanks, because if someone walked up to me in person and said they liked my work right after reading it, i would compulsively say thanks. it also helps contextualize audience size in a healthy way i think, bc most of us naturally crave more attention on our fic, but if we were actually in the room with even like 20 people applauding and five people waiting after to tell us how awesome we are we’d be fuckin elated.
university tours should be banned. the only way to truly Experience University is to start, sign up for too many courses because you could handle that same load in school, get burnout within two weeks into the semester, and finish it a sleep deprived zombie purely fulled by spite and caffeine. And then continue to do this throughout grad school.
i can't stop picturing this little scene. it's an old inn, familiar, with an empty bar and empty rooms above. the chairs have been stacked on the tables. it's quiet. Death, holding the key to the universe in one hand, offers her other hand with a sad but kind smile as the lights flicker out.
"You're the last one, Hob," she will say. "Would you like to join me on my way out?"
Where did he get the bread? Did he buy a baguette at a local bakery? Bitch doesn't have money. Did he create dream money? Does that work in the waking world? Did he get the bread from a dream? Is it dream bread? He stole it from some French chef's dream? It's 2022 and he's an endless, doesn't he know bread is bad for birds? Or do the dream birds just not get fat. Why not peas? Dream peas. Those are good for birds. The bread.....haunts me.
