Faultline, more like Fail-tline

now, hypothetically, how does one find a "beta-reader"

the fic isn't written yet, still working on the outline, but I feel like I'm going to need earlier feedback than hoping for comments when I start to publish it

is there a store to get one, or do I need to go on a quest to acquire, the beta-reader? hypothetically

my doctor thought i was taking spironolactone for hair loss “because [I] have gray hairs”

This is the competition for the most interesting toxic yuri ship! This means that you want to vote for the one you'd like to read about the most out of a sick sense of disgust and fascination. like a car crash, you just can't look away.

chastity/vicky is just for the real ones. you wouldn't get it.

by the way june is her canon name not a personal headcanon they say it in ward

Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!

"Tilt" is pretty good, "Dakka" is fun, I love "Marionette", "Paths Diverged" if you're into pillbug, "Here Comes The New Boss (Nothing Like The Old Boss)" is great

Had to look through my Worm bookmarks for a minute for these, all on ao3 by the way

someone know some good and interesting hero taylor fanfic?

try and fail to do a kick flip on a skateboard in front of a police car, that'll show em

You are just your average INSECTOKINETIC TEENAGE GIRL who was accidentally mistaken for a SUPERVILLAIN by a diverse group of TEENAGE CRIMINALS. Your DEVIOUS (you are not a bad guy, just very smart) PLAN is to INFILTRATE the gang and UNDO it FROM WITHIN. WHAT do you do to EARN their TRUST?

Does it have to be my traumatic personal character arc or is there like a bin we have to pull from? I feel pretty not-traumatized, oh gosh, does that make me a cauldron cape of a wormblrina?

I’m taking over Wormblr and Wardblr

Handing out vials for my loyal viziers.

Giving powers symbolic of traumatic personal character arcs to the peasantry!!!

You are sat at a bar, and approached by a character I would chew my leg off to spend a night with.

I like that NieR Automata has a secret difficulty setting to adjust that the game doesn't really tell you is a difficulty setting. And that's the companion aggressiveness thing. I like playing without the helper character because it means I have to 1. Learn more about enemy combos and behavior and 2. Feel like normal difficulty is more difficult without massively changing an aspect of the game like the jump from normal to hard.

Also just as a side note: man, I really appreciate the opening moments of the boss fight in the desert city on the second playthrough, hits really hard.

tbh right there with ya, my reblogs of the "can you take an endbringer?" polls are something alright

Wildbow just updated the Ward finale, posting a picture from the last bit for you all.

you... you remain true to your username

"yeah this fic is pretty alright, probably going to bookmark it once I get to the most recent chapter- why does the author now say 'orphan_account'?"

damn :(

Never said Tattletale made them just for Taylor, just that in Worm, that's where it is first explained as a concept and not much outside of it. The "Endbringer Truce" is a separate more official thing. I was also talking more about the "Unwritten Rules" usage in fanon and fanfics.

I haven't read Ward and I don't intend to so to my mind anything that happens in it doesn't affect my enjoyment of worm or wormfics. There's enough mental separation between Worm and Ward for me to consider them distinct works.

Kind of building off of Silvia Norton's post from a while back but if I read another line in a wormfic where an authority figure or like, actual serious adult individual mentions the "unwritten rules" as a hard concept that everyone just *knows* I am going to bash my face into a wall.

It's literally just how Tattletale described the social contract of capes to Taylor, it stops being "unwritten" or just a polite fiction when people like Piggot or Coil or whomever actually treat them as something tangible.

"But ma'am/sir, wouldn't that be breaking the Unwritten Rules?" Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut-

Losing my mind

Made it to class, female lead singer pandora station does wonders for the soul

Ain't nothing like being tired feels like being tired. Will I fall asleep at the wheel and crash my car on the way to class? Mayhaps.

I definitely feel like worm, and the fanfics, are at their best when it's "worm the dark superhero story" and not "worm the superhero sci fi story".

Just sort of weakens the setting and world? And I hate how much of a sword of damocles Scion is for so many fics because if you don't change enough about the setting to where Gold Morning doesn't happen, then the plot might have to go there and that doesn't feel like it works for every fic. I admire a fic who states outright in the tags or authors notes that "Hey, Scion just fucked off to be depressed about his alien girlfriend, this story won't have a gold morning" because it lessens that narrative weight that works for canon worm, but not the plot of every fanfic.

Some of my favorite wormfics (Shamus, Postdiluvian Road) are concentrated cape stories about what being a small-time player in the world actually looks like.

Canon Worm is great for what it is, and it also has a narrow focus and pathway of escalation that I love, but I don't think the majority of fics need to follow in the footsteps of.

Haven't read Ward but every mention of stuff from Ward that I see in the wiki (Firmament, Shardspace, Titans, etc) makes me groan.

huge worm spoilers below the cut

honestly, despite the fact that it was baked into the story from the very beginning, i genuinely feel like worm and fanfiction thereof is served well by kind of ignoring the whole source behind the powers.

like obviously the Entities’ goals drive a lot of the conflict (both a storytelling term and literal fights) but frankly i feel like worm is best when it’s about the people living in a world that just kinda fuckin sucks.

‘what if everything was worse and also people had superpowers and do very human things with them’ is way better than the whole interdimensional space whales that have inserted a thing into a bunch of peoples brains that gives them superpowers but also makes them want to fight so that they can explode everything

and don’t get me started on everything in fucking ward

Did I do any writing today? No. But I *did* play NieR Automata and paint my nails, so it all evens out I think.

Take a penny from the "take a penny, leave a penny" gas station thing, but she doesn't leave a penny >:)

AMY DALLON has finally gotten sick of NEW WAVE'S BULLSHIT and decided to become a real SUPERVILLAIN. YOUR TASK, should you choose to accept it, is to INVENT for her an EVIL ACT TO DO, before she snaps and does something UNSPEAKABLE to her SISTER.

I had a limited number of options and sadly couldn't acount for shades! If you think alec's favorite color is a particular shade of something, say, "burnt umber," please vote the nearest option, so, in this case, "orange."

Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!

After weeks of not being able to write or just not feeling up to do so, I was actually able to get a bunch of words down today. Did any of them go towards my currently running fic? No. But my outline for a different fic just got a whole lot more robust and developed. 4400 words so far, hopefully I'm able to hit 5000 tonight. woo!

YES, the inspiration to write is returning! The ideas... they flow.

Finallyyyy

happy ides of march

laying in bed crying because I can hear "Kainé" from automata in my head

so good, so sad

Why am I haunted by ideas and plots and concepts for fics but feel no motivation to open my computer and do something about it, what is wrong with me, I can't even read other fanfic at this point without outlining and theorizing all in my head for stuff, why do I tell myself every night "you'll write tomorrow" and then never do.

So I'm listening to Patti Rudisill's cover of "Hollow" from FFVII:R right now and there's a specific note from the piano in the track that stabs into my head almost identical to the first "plin" from the Lord Gwyn fight in DS1, it's like tripping over air every time

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

Reminds of when I told my coworkers at a past job that I read a lot of fanfic and a couple of them were like "the gay porn?" And I tried to explain that 'fanfiction' includes a lot of well-written fiction stories that aren't necessarily sexual or even romantic...

and also there's some gay porn sometimes but that's neither here nor there

I like reading fanfiction because I like being able to absorb every single part of the media that I am interested in, even if its not written by the creators, not so I can read about my favourite characters banging. Fanfiction ≠ written porn, smh.

I am cringe but i am free 🔥
