from July 1 to August 1, I have read and downloaded 2,338,085 words of fanfiction surrounding my current favorite ship (and I’ve probably read more than that if you include the one shots I read and didn’t download) but I have no one to talk to about it because none of my friends are part of the fandom, and it’s a lowkey very embarrassing ship to support 😔👍👍
i love spotting grammar or spelling mistakes in fics - it really reminds me that it was written by a human :]
I want to write a character relationship so complicated that when an outsider finally dares to ask, "so what's going on between you two?" the only response is a dramatic sigh, a far off stare, and a flashback sequence that lasts half a dozen chapters (but still only just scratches the surface)
I absolutely LOVE title drops in books - especially when the title in CONTEXT has a completely different meaning then you would initially assume. they just bring me so much joy pls pls bring them back
I'm getting more and more obsessed with romances that almost were. They will gaze longingly at each other when the other isn't looking. They will ask each other's friends about each other. They will talk about anything (the weather? the socioeconomic state of the world?) just to get a chance to chat. But they will never hold hands.
like there’s just no normal way to say how satisfying and easy it is to cut through skin and fat and muscle with a fresh scalpel until you can stick your fingers in there and feel around for a fat noodle of an artery.
nothing has more persuasive power than a 600k, beautifully written fanfic. my entire perception of the series is different now oh my god
write a shapeshifting character so deeply insecure and so painfully unaware of it that they would ask a romantic partner (after dating for a bit) what they should change about their physical appearance.
"What?" "I mean like do you want me to be blond or something? I don't mind, really, anything you want." "No, you really don't have to--" "I know you like men too. That's okay, I could be a guy for a night or a week. Don't be afraid to ask, I know it's not personal or whatever."
