Nothing like a halfway decent incomplete fanfic to crawl into my brain and lay eggs. At some point between now and when I die, I will be writing some sort of paranormal situation, forever peeved that I didn’t come up with this world building first and can’t just rip it off because morals.
Ok this book idea I’ve started drafting, I have no idea what’s gonna happen. Like I have vibes, a bit of world building, backstory, and three characters I barely know. I’m just gonna let the plot find me I guess
Maybe some of us had messed up parents and never knew ourselves

Man, we have got to stop treating art like it has an expiration date. That show stopped airing? Doesn’t mean it can’t haunt your every waking thought. Everybody’s into this album, but you don’t have the energy for new music right now? It’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready. That movie’s fifty years old and indie as shit? Incredible, you have the chance to share it with folks who might never otherwise feel that particular punch of delight. Books don’t go bad. Shows inspire fandoms decades after they’ve wrapped up. We’re still looking at cave paintings and statue work from ancient times and letting the joy of creation bring tears to our eyes. That’s the point of art. It’s as close to immortality as we ever get. Why try to give that magic a shelf life?
Perhaps if I had written my brilliant idea down when I first had it, instead of waiting to do it later, I wouldn’t be currently struggling to remember that idea
It’s the best! I do it with poetry all the time, I need stronger prose
officially made a reader cry...am i a real writer now?
me rereading a scene: omg why is she acting like that who wrote this? i wrote this.
I hate that people are using ai to write. If you don’t wanna write, then don’t. Like it’s not even just a money thing because there are ai generated fanfics now. I hate it so much.
I live this craft with my whole heart, even when it’s hard. I value my words and the work of every other writer out there. I don’t understand why people think using ai is okay. You’re stealing other people’s work and devaluing the craft. Plus, it’s bad for the environment to use ai.
it may take me a month to put out a chapter but at least im not using ai to write it.

I don’t know a worse hell than making creative projects that you don’t care about. There are so many other things I’d rather work on right now, but I feel guilty. I’ve spent a lot of time not doing anything and thinking about stuff I should do and want to do. All of my incomplete projects are taunting me.
GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.
hey when you make posts, i just want you to know, thou/thee/thy/thine/ye are like he/you(object)/your/yours/you(subject) okay? "thou art wearing shoes," "i will wear shoes for thee," okay?
you say thine if the next word starts with a vowel and thy if the next word starts with a consonant and they both mean "your" so "thine own shoes," "thy shoes," okay?
and ye means you and refers to the subject of a sentence, "ye members of the brotherhood of shoes," okay? you need this information to create better knight yaoi. i'm personally more interested in nun yuri but we are a community
