I just wanted to let u know that I tried drinking wine while writing and it has elevated my experience to a level I didn’t know was possible.

It's truly an experience, I'll give it that. I have the best ideas after 1-2 glasses of wine, I think because you're less willing to judge yourself or be self-conscious. Especially for horny stuff.

That being said, I have terrible concentration after drinking. I'm better off doing a rough outline and coming back the next day.

Every single fic update there is an author trying frantically to find the right balance between a nonchalant aside of "leave a comment if you enjoyed =)" and clinging desperately to the coat tails of a random stranger, dragging along behind them on the street wailing "Please, please! I have to know what you thought! I'm desperate to talk to people about this! Ask me about the alliterative repetition! Ask me about the symbolism!"

This is a gentle reminder that your favorite writers are busy. Many of us have jobs, families, school, outside responsibilities that pull us in a lot of directions. If you're eager for more of a story, a comment like "update pls" or "update soon!!!" does not actually help. If you want to get the creative juices flowing, come ask us questions! I promise you your fave is going to be so happy that you show interest and reach out.

Remember, we are doing this for fun. Help make it fun for everyone involved. Including the writer.

Sincerely,

A very tired writer

"This isn't canon!"

My good idiot, did you perhaps miss the abundance of tags that looked like:

“I love you,” cas says, tears in his eyes.

dean doesn’t think, doesn’t hesitate, just reaches out, snagging cas by the tie, and he tugs cas forward and kisses him.

when dean slowly breaks the kiss, hand resting on cas’ jaw, he looks back to the wall where the empty was, and then laughs when he notices both billie and the empty are gone.

“well, hey, whaddya know, public displays of affection even make cosmic entities look away and disappear.”

cas looks at the wall, noticing the black tendrils are gone. “did you kiss me just to make the empty uncomfortable?”

the laugh slips out before dean can stop it. “nope, although that was an interesting discovery,” dean says, pulling cas even closer as he leans in again. “I kissed you because I’ve wanted to do that for years.”

cas smiles, tears in his eyes now happy instead of sad. “run that by me again?” he asks against dean’s mouth.

“with pleasure,” dean murmurs, capturing cas’ lips in another kiss.

love confessions and kisses really did save the day.

Fanfic writing friends, please revisit your positive feedback.

Whether it be AO3 comments, DMs, flailing in tumblr tags, or some combination thereof, screenshot that shit. And re-read it when you're feeling low about what you've created.

It's not the same as getting new comments on your latest fic update. But it helps.

#just fanfic things #just writing things #just ao3 things #writing positivity #toss a comment to your author

Sirius left Grimmauld Place at approximately 3am on a Thursday in June. No note, no explanation. Not that he needed one, the bruises littering his skin were more than enough. Regulus forgave him almost immediately for leaving him behind. Sirius was his brother, his best friend and now, his first heartbreak.

At approximately 3am the following day, Regulus also left. No note, no explanation. The bruises and tear streaked skin were enough. Except, unlike Sirius, he didnt have a second family to run to. Instead, he entered muggle london to hide from those that might try to find him.

At 15 years old, in a completely unknown environment with no one to help him, Regulus slept on a park bench.

Oh, how quickly the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black fell from grace.

nothing is more humbling as a fanfiction writer than your search history. the searches while writing range from “stupid questions” to “you’re going to be put on a government watchlist” and every step in between.
