Giveaway Contest: We’re Giving Away Ten Vintage Paperback Classics By F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jane Austen,

Best bangtan bomb ever

It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn’t matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over.

The Zahir (Paulo Coelho)

Something that needs to be said, over and over again

PSA

I love every fanfiction author on earth !!! Thank you so much for using your own time to provide us with a free(!) story to read that is 10x better than every book I have read put in one!

For long fic writers: Your detailed fics are so amazing and you amaze me every single time with the amount of research and time you have put into your beautiful works! Whether I am looking to kill time or just want something to distract me you have provided me with that, and I am so glad we have writers like you!

For short fic writers: Your fluffy/angsty/smutty/all of the above fics are so nice to read after a long day! When I just need something small because I don’t have the energy for something long, you wrote something for yourself and shared it with us, and I am so glad that we have writers like you!

If you write fluff; Thank you so much! I love reading your self-indulgent fics. They are so sweet and adorable and those characters definitely would do that.

If you write angst; Thank you so much! I love reading your painful fics. I’m always excited to see how it will end and if things will ever get better.

If you write smut; Thank you so much! I love reading your own fantasies(or realities, or just what you chose to write). They make me smile and blush.

If you write romance; Thank you so much! I love reading about my otp falling in love over and over. Even if it is cliché, it’s also unique and I’m still  surprised each time.

If you write about platonic relationships; Thank you so much! I love reading about my favorite best friends and siblings. You bring something not often seen and your courage is amazing.

If you write crack; Thank you so much! I love reading your random fics. They make me laugh time and time again and even if they are weird and ooc, they are amazing too.

If you write anything else; THANK YOU SO MUCH! Whatever it is you write, it is amazing and I love it. 

I know my singular opinion doesn’t mean much when there are millions of people on this earth, but I want it to be heard!

I LOVE FANFICION WRITERS. YA’LL ARE THE REAL MVPS.

you’re damn right they have (x)

Oh, and for our non-Twitter followers, here’s our regular giveaway contest. 

I will say, thank you. I've been trying to get enough info to write a reasonably historical fic for a while, and now I have somewhere to start!

Some things England/Spain shippers (and the rest of the Hetalia fandom) get wrong

“Spain’s hegemony over the seas ended after the Armada’s defea-”

“The Anglo-spanish war (1585-1604) was a victory for Engl-”

“British Empire replaced Spanish Empire after 1588”

“Both Empires (Spanish and British) were even during X perio-”

“England and Spain have always been enemi-”

“England has always beaten the crap out of Spa-”

England/Spain is my OTP, and since I’ve read too many times things like the ones listed above I think some real historical stuff would be enlightening for everybody. So, shall we?

Keep reading

hey so it’s march now aka the beginning of endometriosis awareness month and i feel obligated to remind you that debilitatingly painful periods are not normal. if you or someone you know is ending up sick or bedridden every month, you are not crazy and deserve medical attention from someone who will take you seriously

since there is a lot of nostalgia for the avengers/mcu fandom circa 2012, here are some of the most commonly used tropes in fanfics and fanworks that we all just, for some reason, accepted (feel free to add more!):

they all live in the Avengers Tower and have their own custom rooms/floors designed by tony

clint in the vents

thor loves poptarts and coffee and all the food in general 

movie nights!

taco/pizza/sushi/etc dinners where one of them is assigned to wash the dishes afterwards

bruce does yoga and can cook all kinds of cuisines

natasha cleaning and sharpening her knives

steve struggling with the Internet

tony rarely sleeps, he’s always in his lab creating new suits and equipment for the team. coffee is his main source of sustenance until steve or bruce convince him to sleep and eat something pls

steve, in his downtime, draws draws draws. bonus points if he does it in the workshop while tony is working

tony and bruce Sciencing Out

steve is the momma hen, tony the dad (or vice-versa tbh)

nick fury/coulson/maria hill act as the Avengers’ publicists

clint/coulson (ok y’all i read some of those fics AND THEY WERE CUTE OK DONT @ ME) 

loki pops up every now and again pretty much as a glorified magical prankster

bruce loves tea and is always brewing that matcha 

clintasha

team teaches steve and thor about modern life and pop culture

natasha is the sage and constant source of wisdom 

thor always speaks IN! A! BOOMING! VOICE!

“what really happened in budapest” 

rhodey and pepper also make appearances. and in the latter part of that era, sam and bucky

sleepovers in the living room! where they sleep all huddled together!! :(((

Trying out a new thing this year in honor of my new year’s resolution to give more and to encourage others to read. I will be doing #bookonabench often, but this is a way for to me share books with you guys and give back. I will have a giveaway running at one point all year. When one ends, another will begin. This way I can keep giving and you’ll still have an opportunity to win! Happy 2017 :)

There will be one winner that I will send $25 worth of book(s) to. You can pick ANY books you want. (not just the books pictured above…. ANY)

The rules are simple:

must be following me: @booklover277

reblog / like this post to enter. reblog as many times as you want.

I will be buying the book(s) from book depository or amazon, so make sure one of those will ship to your country.

if under 18, you must have parent/guardian permission.

must be willing to give me your address

must have your ask box open, so that I can contact you.

If the winner does not get back to me within 48 hours, I will be selecting a new winner.

giveaway ends March 27, 2017

GOOD LUCK!
