okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.
they’re sharing
it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.
it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people
but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.
you’re so mean i’ll jump out the science lab ;(
requesters, what do yall use my collages for? i'm js curious since not all of yall use it as a banner/pfp/wtv
or hell if you're too lazy or don't want to spend time or money just lay in your bed imagine your favorites kissing and giggle thats what i do when i have no motivation
i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.
make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.
spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.
A monster forcefully switches places with you. You become a horrible creature, and the monster assumes your form. Unfortunately for the monster, your life absolutely sucks—and you have no intention of swapping back.
some days you cannot help but pity some people
sometimes a trans headcanon is 5 pages of careful textual analysis and reasoning and sometimes it's "i know this doesn't make sense but it's my favourite character and i get to decide the gender" and sometimes you have both within the same media and that's beautiful.
you're going to be fine its normal at least for me (lol)
i also had this phase with one of my still WIPs, where i just wrote out everything and i felt so proud
it was meant to be for a character's birthday its been 5 months.
for me personally i just wait until i feel like it theres nothing stopping me from completely stopping other than myself
just take your time. i've experienced it too at worst you'll blank out on the project forever until you remember and have good ideas at best you'll find motivation
i hope the best option happens to you because ignoring a project can make you feel really guilty but remember you're doing it with your own free will
or maybe i misinterpreted all of that in that case my bad
I know what happens in this chapter. It’s all in my head. I have an outline. I just need to write it out. But it’s been weeks since I’ve written a single word.
I started this project out strong. I wrote an average of 2-3k words a day over the course of 9 days. I ended up writing a total of 15k words. But now I have to fill in the blanks in between the initial scenes I was so passionately writing. So I’ve lost all that motivation and inspiration that initially kept me going.
I don’t understand why I’m like this. It’s infuriating.
