This should be our Wonder Woman. If Superman is jacked despite his super strength coming from the sun or whatever, then Wonder Woman should be jacked even tho she has super powers. If you want a skinny Wonder Woman then it’s only fair we have a twinkling super man.
Brevity is for those who don’t enjoy their own story.
I fundamentally disagree with Thomas Jefferson and Mark Twain. "Never use two words when one will do," "don't use a five-dollar word when a fifty-cent word will do," I'm going to turn a single sentence into an essay and it's going to cost five hundred dollars per word because those are the right words to get across what I mean without ambiguity and misunderstanding, thankyouverymuch
I have one about Steve called Eleventh Hour Love, has 9 chapters so far, only unfinished because I wasn’t getting any reads or comments anywhere. I think all of it is on Wattpad most definitely, a few chapters are here on tumblr and you can get to them from my pinned post, I’m not sure how much I put on AO3 if anything. Maybe you’ll be the one to get my to either go back and do a rewrite and finish it or at least continue it 😅
drop your ultimate fic recs in the comments, pretty please? tumblr or ao3, eddie, steve or even remus! i'm talking those multichap, slow burns, life changing fics. i'm in desperate need of some good reading but i wanna get sucked into a story, y'know? ur girl wants something lengthy
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.
Why are men like “You can’t be emotionally supportive of your male friends, that’s gay! You can’t hug your male friends, that’s gay! Any emotion besides anger is gay!”
But then they’re like this in the sports they think are SUPER masculine
Guys, you don’t need all these sports to use as a way to touch each other and make it not gay, it’s just NOT gay to hug your friends, you need to, it’s fine. You can share a bed at a sleep over, it’s fine. Girls do this stuff all the time and it’s platonic, and they have such good relationships and happy lives, just go for it.
