Do you have any advice on how you choose which fic idea to write next? I want whatever the next Gravity Falls fic I write next to be one of the many long fic ideas my brain has thrown at me but I'm having trouble picking
God if you figure out how to choose please tell me.
No but seriously, start on whichever one you like fleshing out the most. Flesh it out and then decide if that one IS the one you want to write right this minute, and dont be afraid to bounce around! Writing different things at once is better that forcing yourself i to one thing until you dont want to write at all anymore
I like to think that after the Eclipse Cannon, Robotnik would try to show his love and appreciation more openly!
I also like to think that he would do it terribly and it would backfire constantly.
So...did u get deja vu?
reblog if you’re okay with people writing fanfics of your fanfics and/or fanfics inspired by your fanfics
Idk where this idea comes from in my head, but it’s here so I’m sharing it with you.
Stan is turned into a dinosaur instead of a cat and ends up at Gravity Falls for reasons I’m unsure of. Either because he knows Ford is there or just Gravity Falls’s natural weirdness magnet. Either way, Ford finds this unusually friendly dinosaur and decides, hey, why not!
Of course he decides to call his friend Fiddleford over to see this marvel, who then brings his whole family along.
Emma-May is having a jolly time, Tate now has a dinosaur friend due to Stan being biologically incapable of not becoming a child’s uncle-figure, and Fiddleford remains the only sane one around.
Stan is trying to tell Ford that hey, he’s actually a human! While Ford is living his chosen one dreams by being the only one his dinosaur pal likes to interact with (except for Tate, everyone likes Tate.)
Fiddleford, the only sane one here, is trying to tell Ford that he cannot keep the dinosaur who actually is not friendly in his backyard, while Ford stubbornly ignores him, already planning the backyard renovations required for a forever Dino pet.
Thank you for sharing! I love all the fun Stan transformation ideas people come up with.
The question becomes, what kind of dinosaur is Stan? Not something huge, or he'd get got by something before making it to Gravity Falls (im thinking weirdness magnetism, as there's no way Stan would know Ford could help) but distinctly dinosaur enough he can't get mistaken for anything else.
Humor tells me velociraptor, as now Fiddleford is watching in horror as Ford gets very friendly with a huge carnivorous wild animal and acting like its his little buddy, while the thing tears into hunks of meat and lets his tiny son climb all over it. Turns to Emma-May for help, but shes too busy drooling over the very real live specimen in front of her.
Ford's main character syndrome strikes again, as he is very determined to keep this dinosaur, as they have a ~Special~ bond. It listens to him and seems to understand him and he loves it!! Look at this face Fiddleford! Is this the face of a wild beast!
(Stan bares his teeth at Fiddleford, and the man backpedals so fast he leaves a trail of dust behind)
Emma-May also thinks Ford should keep the dinosaur. And let her clone it. And if he could distract it, so she could touch it?
Both of them are utterly devastated when its revealed to be Stan. Truly something up there must hate them to crush their dreams. Tate doesnt care. Tate got to ride on a real life dino, regardless if it used to be a man or not.
Even anteaters have fun...
Just followed for brilliant Stone x Robotnik, Stayed for "Oh they're actually chill as fuck okay-"
Anyways love your art, keep it up- (also slight pleading request for possible "Stone goes apeshit" or a "Stone gets injured and doc obsesses over defensive tech")
It was scary at first, but now Robotnik knows what to do (just talk to him)
ko-fi
Why don’t we all just be delulu and become the production department for Season 3 ourselves? 😭😭😭
With the ai webscrape that recently happened on ao3 will you lock your works to registered users only? Its definitely insane whats going on and I’ve seen a lot of authors start to lock off all of their works.
If you don’t know what i’m talking about you can find out more here.
Please be safe and careful with your content!
I saw the thing about the AI scraping of Ao3. Unfortunately, my fics pre-February didn't escape, which means Abandon My Eulogy and Gonna See The Folks I Dig both were added in with the thousands of fics used to train some AI program somewhere.
But I'm not going to lock my works to be registered users only.
It's sad. To see my work getting shuttled off to be churned into a machine that spits out lifeless crap, its violating, and it does make me upset.
But AI could never, and will never, do what I do. And I do this shit for the love of the game.
I'm not making content to get a higher inconsequential number, im not doing this for some kind of internet fame or to be on the cover of Vouge or something. I write, and I make art, and I create because I love doing it, and I love sharing it, and I love when other people see it and they ALSO get the joy that I created it with.
I write to tell stories. I write to string words together to make phrases that turn into sentences that bear meaning to others. I write to make angst that'll make you cry, that makes me cry, I write happy comedy to make you, and myself laugh, I write to enjoy Fandom or just for the sake of creating.
AI could never take that away from me. And, assholes using AI to make some kinda money and using my work to do it pisses me off to no end, but its not gonna stop me.
I know there are some of you here who like and read my work and aren't registered users on Ao3 (Although, take it from me, I HIGHLY recommend becoming a user, its awesome) or simply read ao3 without logging in.
I see why other authors are locking down their work, I understand it and I even encourage them, but im not going to do it for my own.
Because I used to be an unregistered user. I used to be so afraid of getting caught reading unpublished stories that I didn't want anything associated with me, so I didn't make an account until YEARS later. I remember clicking on links and being behind a wall, unable to read a fic I wanted because I wasn't a user. I remember missing out on art and on stories I wanted to see.
So im keeping my stuff open. Im putting my work out there for the world, and unfortunately, that means that sometimes people in the world are gonna be dicks about free access and use my work. Someone might feed abandon my Eulogy into AI to spit out a new ending. Someone might use AI to make shitty generated art for it.
And it makes me angry. I do not give my permission now or ever to take my work, anything I've ever written, and put it into generative AI, and if I ever hear the name of someone doing it, I'll hunt them down.
But im keeping my doors open. The garden is free to enter, and I will try to make sure it always is. If Ao3 finds a way to make it so I can prevent my fics from being taken while still allowing free access to everyone, id be happy to use that. But until then, im going to keep writing, keep posting, and raising my middle finger to the assholes who think its okay to steal people's work.
constantly thinking about 10 y/o stan's crab fighting ring... the idea of innocent tourists going "aw is that little boy playing with crabs and showing them off on the boardwalk for candy" but no he created a brutal bloodsport where he's charging real money for people to gamble on
yes i think he rigged it, yes i think ford was 100% an accomplice
