Reblog If You're Not Homophobic

By the way, fanfiction isn't the place for reviews or criticism.

When you're a published author, it's like you're preparing a meal in a food competition. You expect a rating and to be told what worked and what didn't to improve your craft and embark on your career.

When you're a fanfiction author, it's like taking some of your free time to enjoy the process of baking cookies and then offering them to someone to be kind.

If you take a cookie from the plate, you don't spit it out and tell them it sucked.

Unless the writer asks for your opinion, you can keep it to yourself.

Adding this to clarify, and you don't have to agree with this by any means, I cannot force you to, but the reason Ao3 and Fanfiction isn't the space for criticism and ratings...is that it is a fan space created by fans for fans.

It isn't school.

It is a space where people with the same interests can congregate and enjoy the same fandom.

When you think about commenting on an fanfic authors fics, don't think if it as fishing around in your pocket to give them a compliment.

Compliments are nice. Most everyone likes compliments.

"I like your character development."

"You paint wonderful imagry."

Those are comments that are compliments. Speaking for myself as a fanfic writer they're nice, but they're not what my fan heart craves.

I want engagement with my readers.

The best comments I get aren't talking about my skill as a writer, but what just happened in the story because you and I (the reader) are already fans of the world created.

Comments like:

"NOOOOOOOO!"

"Did she actually just do that?"

"EXCUSE me?!?!"

None of these comments are compliments and none are critical. They are emotionally aligned with the story. They are engaged and with this engagement we create a little community in this tiny little space we get to call ours.

I cannot stop people from saying cruel things, but I can inform those people of the "dangers" so to speak when people treat fandom spaces like Ao3 as if it's Goodreads.

Writers, who write for themselves and offer it to you out of kindness, can decide that if people are just going to spit out their cookies they don't need to post about them anymore and that is how fandom spaces die.

If you don't like the flavor of cookie they made, or you're allergic to one of its ingredients...don't eat the cookie. Put it back for someone else to enjoy and then go find the flavor you do like.

Hello!

I also had a question for you about you’re MayDaisy Universe, about pre-canon (could also be applicable during canon), if you’re be willing to answer.

What happens when May has nightmares? Does she go to Skye?

If not, can Skye tell?

Hi Anon! Top of the morning to you!

(I just woke up)

When May has nightmares, it’s not obvious or loud. She doesn’t thrash or scream or bolt up drenched in sweat. She’ll sleep through the whole thing and just wake like she usually does, because her nightmares are calm, and she knows that she’s trapped. She knows that she can’t escape the nightmare, so she simply waits them out.

She doesn’t go to Skye. However, Skye learns to find her. In the morning after, Skye knows. Even if May doesn’t tell her (which she usually doesn’t), Skye knows. When Skye gets older, when she’s Daisy, they don’t find each other in their bunks. But they do find each other in the kitchen. After Coulson dies, they’re there almost every night. They like to make his famous hot chocolate together, even if they don’t get it quite right.

They like to find solace with one another. That never changes.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO PEOPLE IN THIS TIME ZONE!!!

Very important, actually, but I’m sure y’all can tell.

Nothing important... Just admiring Natasha Romanoff :)

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER SKIPPED CHAPTER BUT I PROMISE I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YALL SOMEDAY

I think I’m cursed

I dont think Iwaoi was "love at first sight" per se, but I do think Iwaizumi met Oikawa, and within a few days realized he would, eventually, fall in love with him.

I think when they reached middle school, Iwaizumi sat down beside Oikawa in their class on the first day and looked at him, and really looked, and thought: yeah. He's gonna get me one day.

And when Oikawa has his first middle school girlfriend, Iwaizumi isn't jealous at all. No crush, no secret love, he couldnt care less. But he thinks: shit. If I fall in love with him now, it's going to hurt.

But he doesnt. And they continue to grow up together. And people tease him, ask him if he thinks any girls are cute or if he's ever going to get a girlfriend and he plays it off as gross and says no because actually, im going to fall in love with Oikawa, sounds a little weird.

And the longer it takes the more confused Iwaizumi gets. Like he knows, one day, he's going to feel it. He knows it'll happen as sure as he knows which direction the sun rises, but he's also happy just being his best friend.

And then one day, finally, one day, at the beginning of their third year, Oikawa laughs and leans in a little too close as he's teasing him, and Iwaizumi's heart does a heavy thump in his chest and he just goes.

Ah. There it is. I was waiting for you.

And so there, in that exact moment, when his heart had finally caught up with what his soul had known on the spot, he asks if Oikawa has any plans that evening, and asks him out.

And Oikawa has the audacity to be surprised.
