Why are these fandoms on AO3

My homophobic grandma really likes frogs. She has tons of frog decorations around her house and always brings up frogs whenever we see each other.

Ironically, she says it’s because frogs don’t like men. She’s been through two divorces, just for some context. All I can think about is aroace and lesbian frogs.

Hi I’m her irl sister (we’re not actually related) and bestie. Please she has like bleventeen parents now. I don’t know how it keeps happening.

Ref Recs for Whump Writers

Violence: A Writer’s Guide:  This is not about writing technique. It is an introduction to the world of violence. To the parts that people don’t understand. The parts that books and movies get wrong. Not just the mechanics, but how people who live in a violent world think and feel about what they do and what they see done.

Hurting Your Characters: HURTING YOUR CHARACTERS discusses the immediate effect of trauma on the body, its physiologic response, including the types of nerve fibers and the sensations they convey, and how injuries feel to the character. This book also presents a simplified overview of the expected recovery times for the injuries discussed in young, otherwise healthy individuals.

Body Trauma: A writer’s guide to wounds and injuries. Body Trauma explains what happens to body organs and bones maimed by accident or intent and the small window of opportunity for emergency treatment.

10 B.S. Medical Tropes that Need to Die TODAY…and What to Do Instead: Written by a paramedic and writer with a decade of experience, 10 BS Medical Tropes covers exactly that: clichéd and inaccurate tropes that not only ruin books, they have the potential to hurt real people in the real world. 

Maim Your Characters: How Injuries Work in Fiction: Increase Realism. Raise the Stakes. Tell Better Stories. Maim Your Characters is the definitive guide to using wounds and injuries to their greatest effect in your story.

Okay, what’s more interesting though… The heteronormative stuff they tell us these books are about? Or the very queer truth about Lancelot!

Yes, the majority of the kids in my Catholic school were weirded out when I said Sir Gawain is gay for the Green Knight, but those who got it, got it.

The Canterbury Tales were more of a struggle for me though, personally.

Sometimes I wonder how much fanfic of classical/iconic literature exists because of school projects. Just floating out there. In a drive somewhere. Not to mention that nothing is more unhinged than bored middle/highschoolers being forced to liven up books they might not care about. For every deranged ao3 crossover fic there is an infinitely more deranged crackfic written for the great gatsby or antigone or to kill a mockingbird or whatever by a bored highschooler and his friends for 10th grade English. I wanna read it
