No Fic Needs Sex To Be Good. A Good Fic Should Be Able To Stand On Its Own Without It, And There Are

No fic needs sex to be good. A good fic should be able to stand on its own without it, and there are so many talented authors that I know who won’t touch the topic simply because it dilutes the initial story.

I'm trying to prove a point to my brain: Reblog if you think fanfiction does not need sex to be good.

There is a trend I’ve noticed that smut fics tend to be much more popular than anything else and honestly I just want to have something to look at to remind myself and that writing doesn’t have to have sex to be worth putting out into the community.

Always up for these kinds of things!

cute shippy starters

Adapted from this post. 

“Come over here and make me.”

“Have you lost your damn mind!?”

“Please, don’t leave.”

“Do you…well…I mean…I could give you a massage?”

“Wait a minute. Are you jealous?”

“Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?”

“I almost lost you.”

“Wanna bet?”

“Don’t you ever do that again!”

“Teach me how to play?”

“Don’t you dare throw that snowba—goddammit!”

“I think we need to talk.”

“Kiss me.”

“Hey, I’m with you, okay? Always.”

“So, I found this waterfall…”

“It could be worse.”

“Looks like we’ll be trapped for a while…”

“This is without a doubt the stupidest plan you’ve ever had. Of course I’m in.”

“The paint’s supposed to go where?”

“You need to wake up because I can’t do this without you.”

“We’re in the middle of a thunderstorm and you wanna stop and feel the rain?”

“I’ve seen the way you look at me when you think I don’t notice.”

“Just once.”

“You’re the only one I trust to do this.”

“I can’t believe you talked me into this.”

“I got you a present.”

“I’m pregnant.”

“Marry me?”

“I thought you were dead.”

“It’s not what it looks like…”

“You lied to me.”

“I think I’m in love with you and I’m terrified.”

“Please don’t do this.”

“If you keep looking at me like that we won’t make it to a bed.”

“You heard me. Take. It. Off.”

“I wish I could hate you.”

“Wanna dance?”

“You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”

“Hey! I was gonna eat that!”

“Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?”

“You did all of this for me?”

“I swear it was an accident.”

“YOU DID WHAT?!”

“If you die, I’m gonna kill you.”

“Tell me a secret.”

“Hey, have you seen the..? Oh.”

“No one needs to know.”

“Boo.”

“Well this is awkward…”

Ascension Update

Figured this update was long overdue from my post a couple weeks ago regarding Ascension’s status currently. I have gone back through and updated up until chapter twenty three for continuity fixes as well as canon updates to the story. Chapter twenty eight is in the works, and I’ve been writing a bit more than I have been. My current situation is...complicated bc of everything going on at the moment, so I have no idea if I can continue to be consistent in any way, shape, or form. Here’s to hoping though!

Now, you shouldn’t give authors ideas like that...

u kno what common fanfic trope i havent seen used for monochrome…pretend dating

like, weiss spots jaune walking towards her in the cafeteria with that look in his eyes again and shes so annoyed at this point that she quickly looks around for a distraction and sees blake walking back towards their table with the sisters trailing behind.  in a split second decision she jumps out of her seat, stalks towards blake, grabs her face, and smacks their lips together

jaune ruby yang and the rest of jnpr coming up behind jaune are staring in SHOCK, blake’s face is beet red (also in shock, of course), but weiss wraps her arms around her and in the sweetest voice she can fake-muster up says “hey cutie, i saved you a seat~” 

now their friends think they’re suddenly dating and shenanigans ensue.
