The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

newbie fic authors, shooting themselves in the foot: This fic is bad haha I suck at writing lol I am being mean to myself in the hopes that you will be nice to me but actually am dissuading anyone from even clicking on my fic because all I have done to advertise it is tell you why you shouldn't read it

me: I am King Big Dick of Fanfic Mountain and I have arrived in your fandom with the Express Intention of writing my Very Favorite Fics, which I will generously allow you to read. You're welcome.

there should be more costume parties in dramione fics. open to recs if anyone has them (not masquerade balls though, don’t insult me). and more veela fics generally!

What's the trope name for when someone finds out they're the Chosen One(tm) and is like "No, thank you" and goes and does something else

"Let me see you”

Currently reading Chef’s Kiss by 5moreminutes, which is, so far, so entirely different a reading experience to the one I was expecting and had emotionally prepared for. As in, I was not emotionally prepared. But I’m 60% in and having a glorious time.

Like, I was expecting, based on the summary, something rather light-hearted, perhaps even a little cracky. But the richness of the prose? The devastation that certain lines are causing me? The fucking lore?! This fic compared itself to Halloweentown in the description. I have been shamelessly catfished and I could not be happier about it.

Anyway, run don’t walk for your weekly 65k of prison reform, mystery solving, and pining through steel doors (oh, also some absolutely primo NottPott).

No. It’s not real. You said you weren’t a magician, but you are. You have made me see things, feel things. Have they told you about the side effects? Of course, they haven’t. And we are so desperate to be normal that we are willing to white-knuckle it through anything. It’s not real. The spiders, the clocks, the insane tall woman. My wanting children. That’s a delusion too, isn’t it?

You ever just wake up from an incredibly graphic and realistic nightmare that was a pure psychological horror based on your own personal phobias and trauma and just roll over like “aw shit I got too hot last night I guess.” And then make toast like you didn’t just experience the nine circles of hell before 9 am

“But here’s a little secret for you: no one is ever the same thing again after anything. You are never the same twice, and much of your unhappiness comes from trying to pretend that you are. Accept that you are different each day, and do so joyfully, recognizing it for the gift it is. Work within the desires and goals of the person you are currently, until you aren’t that person anymore, and everything changes once again.”
