TRYING TO PROVE SOMETHING
I'm tired of hearing people argue that pansexuals are biphobic or transphobic. I'm tired of hearing that bisexuals are panphobic. I'm tired of hearing that my sexuality exists only to erase another. Aren't you?
mm yes surprise surprise i have not yet perished
What’s this? An actual, plotted story? A patreon page? Exclusive works that I probably won’t share anywhere else? A hidden message to please please at least check it out?
I actually have two works to be posted regularly on my patreon page! One that is already up for you is THIS!
A story about the Four Horsemen. Spoiler alert, things aren’t falling into place. The first chapter is already up there, and ready to be read!
I talk a bit more about the second story on the page as well! :)

this is important
this. this this THIS.
I cannot stress how much it makes writers feel GOOD when we see our work validated. Please, just a simple ‘good’ makes our entire day worthwhile. Please, please-
You read a fanfic? Leave a comment. You read some original fics? Leave a comment. You read a short snippet of something? Leave a comment.
Please, please it makes us so happy.
if you read a fic, please just. leave a comment. any comment. you can copy-paste comments if you have to. literally any variation “i read this, i enjoyed this, thank you for writing it.”
the basic acknowledgement that their work has been read makes a huge difference to a writer’s motivation.
you’re all valid and you’re allowed to cry and its okay, you’re okay
Yo if you’re a boy with mental illness, a boy with disabilities, a boy who is/was an abuse victim, a boy who has an ED, a boy with trauma, I need you to know that you are not a burden, that you don’t need to “harden up”, that you are very brave, and that you shouldn’t just have to “get over it”.
it fits so perfectly im-
this is a reminder, PSA, reassurance etc etc for anybody who is second guessing their plot.
just because you are writing a book that contains:
a school for magic users
witches, wizards, magical folk
a summer camp (or just camp) for “special” kids
gods/goddesses (Greek Norse etc etc)
people who control the elements
people who hunt demons and other supernatural creatures
people in a dystopian society who break away from the government
people who live in a weird paranormal town
a horror/mystery with terrifying supernatural creatures
a main character who is not female
a main character with dead or missing parents
a character who lives with an abusive parent, family member, or guardian
does not mean it is:
a rip off harry potter (you could probably do better than rowling anyway)
popular and already seen a thousand times
copying Camp Half-Blood or the Parent Trap
a badly written Percy Jackson
an avatar knock off
stolen from the plot of supernatural or shadow hunters
basic, unrealistic, overused
taken from Tim Burton movies or Gravity Falls
trying to be Stephen King or Dean Koontz
sexist, anti-women
stereotypical, a sympathy trap, a typical sob story
inappropriate for younger audiences, a knock version of the Dursley’s or Al Marsh
but it does make it:
magical, a new glimpse at a new magical world, most likely 500x better than rowling’s
witches, wizards and magic folk will never go out of style. magic is so fucking cool and has so much potential for new and different plots, characters etc
fun!! who doesn’t love summer camps in books?? au’s? actual plot settings?? summer camp settings are amazing, top notch, just *chefs kiss*
i mean, we all love loki, so why not give us stories about his kids?? not necessarily fan fic, but seriously, ancient gods and goddesses are so dope and really deserve more modern books written about them.
not used often, and so cool to see societies built around the elements! i don’t think we’ve gotten enough content of different worlds that have powers withdrawn from elements, it’s such a cool and untouched area of magic!!
never overused. i could read books about supernatural creature hunters for the rest of my life. you can make your own creatures!! and add cool human-monster hybrids. god, the possibilities are limitless
weird paranormal towns are just the best. who doesn’t love weird, run down, and low populated towns with a complex supernatural backstory that revolves is crazy shit happening all the time?? if you don’t, you have no taste. sorry but, i don’t make the rules. paranormal small towns always have been and always will be the shit so please keep writing more
BE THE NEXT BIG HORROR WRITER. horror is such a complex genre to write and i honestly admire everyone who can write horror. i don’t think there’s nearly enough horror content coming out these days. give me more, MORE. nothing in that genre is overrated, write about vampires for all i care, sure it’s been done a thousand times, but with your own twist added, you can make something never seen before
i am a female. i dont get offended by main character being anything but. yes, there are far more male mcs than female, (in more popular modern literature) (and don’t get me started about the unrepresentation for non-binary, gender fluid, trans etc in literature. i will never stop ranting about it) but that doesn’t mean not making your mc female a crime.
dead parents are a common way of portraying a mc’s loneliness, lack of affection, lack of restraint, lack of a good parental figure. but, it can also be a good way to represent other things like their relationship with and other family member/guardian, that you’re parental figure doesn’t need to be a blood related parent. honestly, keep the dead parents trope comin, those kids are always awesome anyway
extremely realistic. not everyone has a perfect home life, and it’s important to see that in literature as well. who knows, if your mc escapes their abusive guardian, friend, significant other, it opens up the possibility to helping other in similar situations.
and most important of all, every single wip out there is:
unique
amazing
special
appreciated
awesome
dope as fuck
deserving of awards, praise, and popularity
not to be given up on
important
different
unlike anything else
loved, wanted, and needed
please don’t give up on your wip. it’s all of the above, and really deserves to see the light of being completed, ravished, praised, appreciated. someone out there will love it, i’m sure of that. so keep writing, keeping being awesome, and keep fucking writing. :)
that was a big fat lie i have not been writing and it’s only thanks to the Mandalorian that i opened another google docs so say thank you to the Mandalorian
if you’re curious about the Mandalorian Fic, I named the Docs “What a waste to be so alone”. Take it as you will
hey yea im back and i’m alive and i’m here to tell you that i am hyperfixating on The Mandalorian
i am writing. i am writing about what i promised. but i am also writing about the Mandalorian. you can read what i wrote, but im also writing more. its just a sorta continuation of that fic.
