fanfic writing culture isn’t “oh dang! I wanted to write about this prompt with this character but someone else already wrote it, so now I can’t”.
fanfic writing culture is always “two cakes is better than one. the more the merrier. there can ever be enough fics of this character with this prompt!”
ok in greek class i had to write a letter (with a weirdly specific prompt of "your friend failed a test and their depressed. they wont answer their phone. make them happy.")
so i wrote:
"Θα πάω στο σπίτι σου και δεν μπορείς να με σταματήσεις. ... Αν η πόρτα σου είναι κλειστή, θα την κλέψω."
"I will go to your house and you can't stop me. ... if your door is closed* i will steal it."
*i meant to say locked, but that's κλειδωμένη, not κλειστή. oops.
honestly i was just really mad that i was the only person in my class who's forced to do this kinda work every day while everyone else gets fill-in-the-blanks, so i decided to just take the piss at it.
the second letter i had to write in class had a prompt of "your came home from vacation and your door was open. write a letter to the police station about what was stolen."
when i saw "stolen", i immediately knew what I had to do.
and so, i wrote that my door was stolen.
why am i writing this
