#Finish the Fic

[sanversandfriends]

It's Valentine's week, so we'd like to kick off the Finish-the-Fic festivities with this beautiful piece by Felpere. It's a lovely illustration of a day-in-the-life of Supercorp that encompasses so much more. Let's show it and him some love, and be sure to check out his work here!

First new chapter of Splice World drops sometime TONIGHT (time zone negotiations are confusing!) and then each Sunday for the next four weeks!

Happy start of @sanversandfriends #FinishTheFic! #Sanvers #GertTheDinosaur

Unfinished multiple parts fics irk me a unreasonable amount. Like, I get it, life comes in the way sometimes

BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS

And especially when they LEAVE IT ON A CLIFFHANGER !!!!!

Please, for the love of god, please don’t be this person. No matter how long it’s been since an update, no matter how many unfinished stories are sitting on their account, no matter what - do not be this person.

Not only is it insanely rude, but you also do more damage than you think be being such a self-entitled ass about something someone created for free and for fun. “This author” can see what you say.

RIP decency indeed.

#the parasocial (idk if it's the right word) you have with the author of a beloved fic you read more than a decade ago #started reading/rereading fanfics from my old fandoms #and i've been trying to do my best to leave reviews this time #and there's this one author who wrote possibly one of my favorite fics ever #and it's a wip #i don't want to believe it's abandoned bc it's so precious to me #and the author said (albeit almost a decade ago) that they plan on finishing it even if it takes them george r r martin lengths of time to #finish the fic #and i think about this fic often #and so this time as i was writing a review it felt like writing to and reminiscing with an old friend that you haven't talked to in a while #im not sure if the author still checks the email associated with their ao3 account but hopefully they know just how loved their fic is #anyway i am so fucking thankful for fanfics and fanworks and fan communities #i love you guys so much you are all so talented and wonderful and amazing i hope you all know that

So Hokey Wolf and Ding-a-Ling are about to go for some diving when the scene is as follows (apologies Damon Runyon):

HOKEY WOLF, making clear the point of the whole: Now mind you, Ding, this experience with my gal Harmony Wolf is going to be a mystery sort of dive; you can never know what to expect in advance here! DING-A-LING, in his hyperjuvenile exuberance: You mean to explain, Hokey, that we're going on a dive whose objects are all the more unlikely? HOKEY WOLF: You could say as much, Ding; and besides, my gal Harmony can certainly get to be all the more attractive sort of wolf underwater! [Whereupon Ding-a-Ling goes into a wolf whistle to show appreciation for his--howbeit imagined--perception of Harmony Wolf's looks, prompting this rebuke from Hokey:] Ding, enough with the wolf whistle routine! It's getting hackneyed, and besides, such is a gross disparagement upon us of the lupine race! [And at any rate, Hokey and Ding-a-Ling arrive in the presence of Harmony Wolf, who can't help but show wonderment at Ding-a-Ling as much as Hokey in preparing for the dive, especially wearing but herself. Perhaps it might be best to have you, gentle Old Hanna-Barberians out there, see if you can come up with the continuation....]

(text description in ALT and below the cut)

Based on some rumblings I heard, I ended up quickly throwing together a fun little WIP bingo sheet! I'll admit I largely wrote the prompts for writing, but I think a good number of them should also apply to art!

Ultimately, the goal is to have fun, and finish whatever WIPs you can (without burning yourself out or having a bad time). If you needed a sign to pick up that project you've been putting off, the time is now!

3x4 Bingo square titled "Finish your fucking fics february"

the top three across left to right read "Update your oldest WIP", "Finish a WIP that's been buried deep in your drafts", and "Finish a WIP that you haven't posted yet"

the second row reads "Finish a recent WIP", "Finish a WIP you're scared of" and "Finish a WIP that's been haunting you"

the third row reads "Update a partially posted WIP", "Finish any WIP/Free Space", and "Finish the next WIP in a series you've been avoiding"

the last row reads "Update your newest WIP", "Finish a WIP that's been ignored for at least 6 months", and "Finish the next chapter for a fic you've been meaning to for months"

finally writing a fic for the first time in years, hitting like 9k and then being like "do I like this enough to finish this?"

me at me in the mirror: "PLEASE finish this, do this for YOU not for someone else"

me: "fair enough, here we go" (rolling up metaphorical sleeves and starts typing again)

#inside my mind #writer things #just do it isa!! #finish the fic #so you can share it!

'i'll just do a couple of doodles of mombin™/platonic stobin parents' nevermind, borderline graphic novel

And now, after a two year absence (They were in space--that's where they were. In space!), the continuation of Sometime Through the Stars by @smarterinabsentia !

I was very, very lucky to have been paired with the amazing @morganastorm24 for this challenge. Check out more of her beautiful work below and show it some love.

[mygeekcorner]

You know those "write badly!" posts that sometimes makes the rounds to encourage all you lovely writers that it's okay that not everything is a masterpiece?

Yeah, those.

I just want all you authors out there not feeling good enough to know that i just decided to reread one of the worst fics I've ever read. Because it's one of the best fics I've ever read.

The plot is simplistic at best. The language is horrible. The pacing is nowhere to be found behind all the "and then!!!" the author peppers their writing like a carbonara with.

But

The characters. The insights into their motivations is fucking master thesis level. I cry just thinking about the way the author predicted where canon was headed years ago. And the way they Preemptively fixed all the ooc-ness the mangaka is now struggling to wrap up.

It's been living in my head rent-free for years and i wouldn't want it any other way. Just with slightly less "and then!!"

So yes, write badly.

In three years time some sucker will come back for seconds because they loved it for all the things you Did manage to do right.

#writing #writeblr #fanfiction #it frustrates me that this is literally the worst written fic I've ever finished #but it's also in my top 3 for that ship #just goes to show greatness doesn't have to be good

[writeouswriter]

My followers: And is this “writing” you’ve been “working on” in the room with us right now?

#writing #writeblr #writer things #writing humour #textpost #writing humor #relatable #funny #I genuinely am writing for the first time in a long while #but it’s uh it’s for an angst fanfic for a fandom one wouldn’t expect fic for necessarily #and I’m embarrassed but I’m not because it’s good but you’re never seeing it it’s between me and my ao3 when I finally do finish it #it’s at 6000 words but fr that’s the most I’ve written on a single thing in a long time and it’s still going! #last time I wrote/finished anything in forever was also for this fandom back in November <3 nature is healing #it’s slow going but I’m hoping to finish it before June 😭
