I feel this so hard this summer!

#author #writer #creator

Some weeks are so shitty… 😔

Mind you, that thing has been sitting in my draft folder for over a decade 🙈

AO3 summary: In the wake of House's coma and the lingering shadows of loss, Lisa Cuddy and Remy "Thirteen" Hadley find themselves colliding in a night of unexpected intimacy - a reckless escape from grief, longing, and everything unsaid. But one night doesn't quiet the tension simmering beneath the surface. As desire lingers and Thirteen grapples with an uncertain future, they're left to navigate the fragile line between what feels inevitable and what could change everything.

Something I didn’t have on my 2025 bingo card? Finishing and posting another #rarepair #femslash #fanfic on #ao3.
But here we are:

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

this would've done big numbers on tumblr

Same. There have been so many great places. First newsgroups, then forums, Livejournal, FB, they all got bought out/commercialized and the burnt. I'm just tired right now but will try to stay here and be a bit more active...

Since the Twitter implosion, I've been pretty much a nomad, from one to the next social media platform. The Meta shithousery is dire hence me coming here to the bluer skies and looking around.

So far, I have only one observation to make. Authors with over a thousands followers... 1/2

Yay!!! I'm sure they are lovely words. Would pre-order if I could :)

I don't like "Your first draft will be shitty" as advice, because it's a really negative framing.

I prefer, "You have the freedom to be messy creating your first draft."

Anyone crafter knows what their room looks like mid-creation. Writers should be as free to be as exhuberent and messy.

Stuck in a scene? Do what the pros do: use brackets. Write what the story beat is:

[Our hero gets out of the fight through clever means]

Then just keep writing what happens after. Maintaining momentum is key to getting the most words on the page. Meanwhile solutions often present themselves later.

YouTube video by JohnnyCashVEVO Johnny Cash - Hurt

When Trent Reznor wrote "Hurt" in 1995, he was a sad young adult in the peak of his popularity.

When 70yo Johnny Cash sang "I Hurt Myself Today" in 2002, he captured that feeling of hurting your back for turning around wrong, and we can all relate to that!

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.

The law only ever serves capital.

Assuming all fanfiction is written poorly really just shows you've never been caught in the chokehold of a 150k slowburn that changed the course of your life at 2:40am written by someone whose username has 4 Zs in it and they only wrote one fic and then vanished like an ethereal legend.

Just finished a 5k piece and feeling pretty happy with myself 😊

Kudos! I bet they taste amazing!

These look lovely. Are they gingerbread?

POI MENTION

I am happy to report that the 500 words have been written and there might even follow a couple more ☺️

Alright, let's do this 💪The goal today is to write at least 500 words. Am I motivated? Not yet. Will I start anyway? Absolutely!
