WHAT IS THIS A BONUS EPISODE?! (Honestly, even better!)

This November we're running our own little seasonal challenge: We're throwing down a gauntlet to get y'all into that comment section to support the creatives who make the works you love! More info below 👇🧵

Just a reminder: No matter the fandom, if you sort by Kudos on AO3 and only read the most popular fics, you're going to miss a LOT of amazing fanworks, including the ones still being actively updated. Especially for older fandoms that may be less active now.

YES

Smithers Scared of Strippers but it's Watto from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace instead of strippers. I don't know man, we're just trying to get through the day.

Logging on to Bluesky.

slowly learning that fandom is only enjoyable in the privacy of a group chat limited to friends you’re completely comfortable disagreeing with without a fight

Relatable 😔

a cat yells at a emoji of a brain text: "WHY IS IT not able to write my fics"

feeling a definite lack of inspiration despite shaking my brain

"em dashes are a sign of using AI!" no they're a sign the author has aggressive adhd and/or an academic background

Do you think John Boyega and Jodie Whittaker ever called each other up to talk about how feral fans got when it was revealed they got cast in SW and DW? Like "these people are fucking nuts, mate" "TELL ME ABOUT IT"

Brilliant!

Thank you!

Well, ultimately both. But the first one makes so much sense without having seen it!

Master & Padawan Relationships (Star Wars) = No fuckin' Master/Padawan Relationships (Star Wars) = THEY FUCKIN'

These are two VERY different tags 👀

😭

em dashes are ai. semicolons are ai. the oxford comma is ai. you motherfuckers are stupid and you want everyone else to be stupid too and i'm not playing along.

I think the key is to treat the internal barriers as equally valid and important to the plot as external ones, which a lot of people... don't know to do, because our culture doesn't think of mental/emotional hangups as "serious" compared to external Plot Factors.

You have to have something that is believably preventing the leads from getting together, AND you have to have an equally plausible solution to that problem. The more believable the obstacle, the slower the burn can be, BUT the reader needs hope that the problem isn't totally insurmountable!

I think the key part to a good slowburn fic is not necessarily the yearning (which all shippy fic has in different amounts, it just depends on how fast that desire is fulfilled), but the tension btw the yearning & whatever obstacle is in the way AND how effective the removal of that obstacle is.

Instantly explains why there aren’t many slow burns for my ships, and probably why my understanding of slow burns is very much in progress 😅

Sorry to tell u this but "shipping" just means "I enjoy thinking about them interacting in a non-platonic non-familial way"
That's it!
There's no implied associated "condoning" or "wanting it to be real"!
You can ship them and also think "THAT WOULD BE FUCKED UP" (very common actually)

🤣

That’s the trap of capitalism.

When you tell someone you’re a writer or author they ask if you’ve published and judge your success on how many books you’ve sold.

Your crafting (knit, crochet, etc) is just a “hobbie” until you sell it on Etsy. Then you’re a small business owner.
