when I say writers, fanfic writers are always included — because they’re just as valid and talented as every other writer who writes and sells original works

The Responder!
Martin Freeman:
" Chris wants to be a good dad and a happier person but he's not in a good way and that’s at the heart of the story. It’s not all about Chris but we do see him experiencing different levels of stress, anger and regret. What Tony does brilliantly is let his scripts breathe and that’s my favourite thing about them. Rather than be too plot driven, the drama is story and character led and in series two we get to see more of the lives of the characters we came to care about in series one."
Tony Schumacher:
Martin loves playing dislikable characters, I think all actors do, really, because there's a challenge in making someone who's dislikable likeable. I think what people relate to with Chris and saw in Martin's performance, was that he was a guy who was genuinely trying to do his best and trying to not to be a bad person.
Adam Nagaitis:
Martin's performance was close to perfect. Nuanced, beautiful, moving and incredibly frustrating and depressing. He also might be the most available, aware in the present moment actors I've ever been opposite.
Read extended interviews with the whole cast and the writer.
You are in for a treat full of thoughts and insights!

A DID A BOOK
And it's out now!
Tumblr you feature pretty heavily in this book, shocking no one that a book about fandom talks about Tumblr, so maybe you should check it out and argue about if I got it right or wrong or something completely odd. What is fandom if not one big argument about itself?
A History of Fans and Fandom is available here and all good bookshops! (Also Amazon)

fictions of the mind / your true self
who will win out, in the end?
i hate you. / i still love you.
it's over. / please, don't leave.
i wish we never met. /
how can i live without you?
beyond the lies, look beyond
what stands in front of you -
perhaps it's an illusion, / or
you're running from the truth.
recognize the expressions of the heart;
it always speaks to you.
"love language."

I once saw a piece of writing advice that spoke to the idea that you should start and end a chapter differently. I suppose the idea was that it helps keep the story moving along. I thought it was good advice but didn't like the post and therefore cannot find the full explanation of this point. Do you have any advice like this? For starting and ending a chapter?
As a creative writer, you’re always looking for ways to improve your craft and keep your readers engaged. One piece of advice that can help you achieve this is by starting and ending chapters differently.
This technique can help keep your story moving forward and maintain your reader’s interest, but it is not the only technique you should employ. Like any other part of your writing, it’s all about variation, and knowing what serves your story best is the most fundamental part of improving your writing’s craft.
Starting a chapter
When it comes to starting a chapter, there are several techniques you can employ to grab your reader’s attention and propel your story forward. One effective method is to begin with action, throwing your character into the middle of a scene and immediately drawing the reader in. Alternatively, you can introduce a new character to shake up the story’s dynamics or change the setting to signal a shift in the narrative.
Opening with dialogue is another great way to quickly establish the scene and provide context for the reader. You might also consider posing a question that piques their curiosity or describing a vivid sensory experience to immerse them in the moment. Ultimately, the key is to experiment with different approaches and find what works best for the chapter you’re writing.
Ending a chapter
When it comes to ending a chapter, there are several effective techniques you can use to keep your readers engaged and eager to turn the page. One popular method is to end with a cliffhanger. You can then open the next chapter with something mundane. An example of this would be the shocking entrance of someone unexpected at the end of one chapter, then opening the next chapter with the revelation that is just the goofy uncle the character hasn’t seen in a while. Alternatively, you can resolve a minor conflict, giving the reader a sense of satisfaction while still leaving larger issues unresolved to continue into the next chapter.
Another option is to introduce a new complication, presenting an obstacle or twist that raises the stakes and propels the story forward. You might also consider ending with a revelation, where a character discovers something important or experiences a significant realisation that shifts their perspective.
Creating a sense of anticipation by hinting at what’s to come in the next chapter is another effective way to keep readers engaged, or you can end with a strong image or emotion that leaves a lasting impression on the reader. Experiment using these endings with the opening examples above, and you’ll soon find that there’s a rhythm you develop that suits your writing style.
Variation is key
The key to effectively starting and ending chapters is to mix things up and keep your readers on their toes. Don’t rely on the same techniques every time; instead, experiment with different approaches to find what works best for your story. By varying your chapter beginnings and endings, you’ll create a more engaging and dynamic reading experience that will resonate with readers.
For some chapters, a clear break will work really well, like the example of a cliffhanger that opens the next chapter with something far more ordinary than the reader was expecting. But other chapters will be well served by a simple continuation of the scene. Pacing isn’t dictated on a chapter-by-chapter basis alone; it’s all about the overall arc of the story and how everything fits together. There are no hard and fast rules for how to begin and end a chapter, so in the end, it all comes down to trial and error and seeing what feels right in service of the story you want to tell.
Additional tips
In addition to the techniques mentioned above, there are a few more tips to keep in mind when starting and ending chapters. Varying your chapter lengths can help keep the pacing dynamic and prevent the story from feeling predictable (although some stories are served by consistent length, so do follow your intuition here). Using transitions, like transitional phrases or imagery, can smoothly connect the end of one chapter to the beginning of the next.
Experimenting with different techniques and reading widely to study how other authors begin and end their chapters can provide valuable inspiration and insight. And don’t be afraid to rewrite your chapter openings and endings in as many versions as you like to see what works for you.
Ultimately, trust your instincts; if a particular starting or ending technique feels right for your chapter and serves your story well, then that’s the one you should go with.

Here, Have a Sneak-peek
I love how Marril's Intro perfectly conveys his personality
----------------------------------------------
Marril brushed the tips of his gloved fingers over the paper, grabbed the upper corner, and folded the crease open. The Assassin scanned it once more and scoffed as he crumpled it. A foolish attempt at tricking him. 
Keresan’s name had never been whispered in the alleys of the black market, nor printed on a card. With that level of obscurity,  he couldn’t be the noble he claimed to be. Marril had been suspicious from the moment he’d laid eyes upon the chaotic handwriting. But the address made it obvious as a butterfly trying to hide among rocks that this was a trick. Abandoned for years, every criminal and noble in the city gossiped superstitions about the old place over tea and whispers. 
A scowl darkened his face at the mere thought of a client as he blew a strand of long raven hair from his face. Hundreds of lectures about morals, monsters, and murder from people who thought money was an adequate exchange for a man’s life. But everyone who’d summoned him always needed him for something. His blade-bearing hands had seen their fair share of blood, but no matter how well those nobles scrubbed their skin clean, he could always see the streaks of scarlet between their elegant fingers.
Marril fixed his lips into a false smile as he stepped up to the door, muttering to himself under his breath. “Vatsú maravi fala kún ge pé'delzhua kún'a. Time to eat fish from a bloody fisherman I suppose.” He knocked.
The old, cracked door creaked open, revealing a man with pale lips and a waxy smile a few feet beyond the threshold. He examined the Assassin with sharp scrutiny before he spoke. “Honrul said he’d get me the best. That’s you I assume?” 
Marril squinted at the man, eyeing his hands where a strange translucent skin stretched up to the bottom of the nails. The man hid his strange hand behind his back. Slitted pupils in his clear ocean eyes watched the Caliskian closely as his lips twisted into a snarl, showing the teeth of a carnivore. “Don’t you know it’s rude to stare?”
The Assassin narrowed his eyes. 
“Insolent. Answer me.” 
Marril raised his head and looked down on the man. He swore at him in his native language. “Your comfort is not what I was hired for.”

Talking about her college years my mom told me that the professor talked so fast that he didn't even have time to stop and light a proper cigarette, so he used the old one to light the new one and kept writing on the whiteboard.
And I just think that's so dark academia coded and I want to use that in a book or a fic, but I'm not writing anything like that currently so I'm going to drop this here in case anyone wants to use it.

it's okay to not be okay.
express your feelings
through words
and actions,
through your sorrow
pain,
and distress.
however, please do not
make an attempt
to contain it all
within yourself;
it's okay to not be okay.
"happiness awaits. always."

It's hard enough just to be, but in addition to that I have to be myself?
I don't know why humanity as a whole is so obssessed with the concept of identity and self that you can't even live without one. People act like its not okay to just be—like it isn't enough that you're already here and existing.
What if there is no "real me"? there is no self? Just the physical body you see before you.
I am not "me". There is no "me". I am just here. Accept it.
