It’s you friendly neighbor fanfic author here. In the light of this apparent new trend of people feeding unfinished fics to AI to get an “ending,” and some people even talking about “blanket permissions,” let me just say this:
I EXPLICITLY FORBID ANYONE TO FEED MY FICS TO AI. DUDE, THAT IS ABOUT THE LEAST RESPECTFUL THING YOU CAN DO. IF YOU DO IT, SHALL YOU BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM YOUR FANDOM AND WALK ON LEGOS BAREFOOT TILL THE END OF DAYS.
Prompt: @your-neighborhood-emo and I write an actual conversation between MC and Belphegor post lesson 16. Neither of us were fond of how the game just never acknowledged what happened properly Pairing: Belphegor & MC (platonic) Word Count:
4,527 Warnings: Mentions of violence typical to lesson 16 depictions, intense self-hatred, heavy topic discussion, MC has trauma A/N:this was technically written in 2020, but better late posting than never I suppose. there’s a super short playlist for this fic, that can be found here. Also available on ao3.
Nothing beats the feeling when you start getting comments on every fic in a fandom or ship from one person, and it’s clear that they’re going on a fic-binge.
Wait writers like this?
Easiest way to make a writer smile! It’s how I learn usernames and start up conversations these days!
I love this so much! It’s always so much fun to watch someone go down a binge and they react to a part that becomes a Big Deal down the line, and they make a comment about it, and you just laugh and wait and then like five hours later you get a review like “you biTCH HOW DARE” and honestly it’s the most rewarding feeling.
Do ALL of the binge reading, my dudes!
I notice when the same person kudos several of my works in a fandom, like, oh they saw one of my things and was like “oh, this is the good stuff, please tell me they wrote more” and then like binged the rest. And as an writer that brings me sooo much joy to see that it’s enjoyed, and as a reader it is so satisfying to find a good writer with several awesome fics in your fandom
Thank you to all the fan fic writers who won’t get a post dedicated to them today or any day. Your writing still matters, your writing is still important. Your fic touched someone, it is someones favorite fic, their comfort fic. Don’t stop writing, don’t ever give up. I appreciate you and your writing. Thank you for all you do.
I get antsy when I haven’t produced content in awhile. I worry I’ll be forgotten. I feel like I have to keep buying my place in fandom with stuff like art and writing. Which makes it hard to produce content because that’s a lot of pressure to put on my creativity muses. So I sit here worrying instead.
Bleh.
HOLY SHIT THIS IS SUCH A MOOD
To everyone in the fandom who has been posting this the last few days: You are not obligated to continuously produce content. You are valued within this community by others, no matter what. I promise you that. You will not be forgotten. Don’t feel pressured. Do things in your own time. You are awesome. You are talented and you are welcome here always.
Someone: hey, if you’re a writer, why don’t I ever see you writing?
Me, a writer who’s been daydreaming about three characters, two unwritten chapters, some scraps of dialogue, and a partial plot that still needs to be heated up in the microwave before it’s usable:
Prompt: A birthday fic for my favourite demon, Mammon, in which I struggle to write a love letter Pairing: Mammon x GN!Reader Word Count: 1,078 Warnings: None/I write a shitty love letter A/N: This is late and I’m so sorry. Blame my professor. At least it’s still his birthday where I am
