I Mean My Vote Is That TB 5 As A Transformer Literally Is E.O.S, But She Was Still Created As Artificial

someone I follow on the bird app just announced they’re starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they’re reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic

I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS

I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there’s 10,000 other people that will continue…but if you participate in a fic “book club” server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?

the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don’t rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit “post”

Tales from a notebook I wasn’t supposed to scrawl in, Part 2. My Two Padawans stuff. 

AO3 Comments are SO SO SOOOOOOO important because you can only leave Kudos ONCE. You add to the hit count ONCE (every 24 hours).

So whenever someone updates their fic, the ONLY way an author knows who their regular readers are is if they comment on each chapter. And we WANT to know who's still reading.

Believe it or not, some of us think about the name that pops up constantly in the comments and go "omg I can't wait to see what they think of THIS SPECIFIC SCENE cuz I KNOW they'll say something about it!!!"

ME????

Soulmates trope where I always open my window because yours is open and I can hear your music, and if the wind is blowing in the right direction I can sometimes hear you singing? And you’re a terrible singer and at first I didn’t really like your taste in music but it’s just so sweet and now it’s grown on me? And then one day you saw me singing along too? So now it’s a tradition and we sing the duets together? But then slowly I notice the songs in your playlist turning into love songs???

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

I NEED TO SEE OMEGA AND HERA IN A TOP GUN SHOW!

“Talk to me Tech”

please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts

just came to the realisation that the protagonist of the beatboxing puppy movie and the second coming from animator vs animation have the same power
