All the fanfic readers/writers, after finding out they can't read their before-bed fanfics, and escape reality for a little bit, because ao3 is down:

I'm also scared to read tsc not because it's too angst-centered for my mental well-being, but because I'm afraid I'll get too involved and dive deep into jerejean abandoning my ongoing andreil fanfic😀

My brain: Ok but what if {something that would derail the entire fic}
Me: *squirts with spray bottle* NO. BAD.

Reading your WIPs is An Experience, because sometimes you're reading through it and you're like:
"Dang, I'm really enjoying this, it has all of the elements I like of this pairing/concept/character in one fic and- Oh, there's the end of it, I wish there was more." And then you realize, "Oh. I'm the one who wrote this. I'm the one who has to continue it."
And other times it's like: "Oh my god, literally what is this, it makes no sense, it's garbage, delete, delete, DELETE-"

With all the “fanficition.net stuff is dying” going around again, I am puzzling a dilemma. I’m sure I am not the only one in this case.
As an older fan enjoying a second fandom wind, I actually had an old, wholly separate author name on fanfiction.net, back when I was a mere baby writer. It’s got all of my early mistakes and the limits of having a beta reader only on occasion. However, I’m actually super proud of those few final works I did before other real life made me take a fandom pause.
Of course, I also know I will not be going back to these fandoms and finishing the handful of WIPs, since current fandoms keep me with more plot bunnies than I could handle in one lifetime.
Is it better to create a wholly different Ao3 ID to port these old works of mine to Ao3? Or do I put on my big girl pants and load them all under a pseud (and just make clear the WIPs are on hold indefinitely?)

Is it weird to call something a sickfic if the sickness in question is an undiscovered, fatal illness?

It’s ironic that post I have more notes on is one where I complain about writing Hawks’ pov.
And here I am. Writing a smut with only Keigo’s pov.
Just so I can showcase Dabi with a split tongue.
The things I’ll do for this ship.

You ever just love when someone reblogs, likes, or comments on one of your older posts?
I lap that shit up so much.
It's like a nice pleasant surprise.
"Oh, someone liked this? what was it again" *casually reread old post* "Oh shit, I remember this, I fucking love this. Should I write more? Should I turn this into a fic? This would be so fun but..."
It's like a love hate relationship. I love being reminded of old plots bunnies and prompts I had in mind.
But then I think about just going straight into writing more about it. And it's great and all, but man I've got too many things in progress omg

Damn it. I lost motivation to write today.
Why does this always happen? I make a schedule, I sit down, I open the document...
Then nothing.
