#No 'fic update but you get this instead

[vhstown]

reminder that ppl who make stuff on the internet for free don't actually owe you anything at all like ... as sad as it is that ur fav comic / fanfic hasn't updated in god knows how long that person has a life 😭 can we not harass people and be compassionate and patient and understanding thanx

#like ive read fics that will never ever update again and #thats just too bad! oh well! ill live! #can we stop treating people like content machines this is not my story animated please #people have work school health + mental health issues etc etc #harrassing someone to update makes them demotivated to do exactly that... believe it or not... #and the quality of whatever it is might be worse because it is rushed #you do not simply pull the comic or fanfic out of your asscheeks you have to think unfortunately 😭 and draft and redraft and edit #and then hate it for a bit and redraft and you get the point! #try write something yourself. try finish a 200k word series. thats like a whole novel 😭 put those words to use instead of in sum1s comments #soz for the rant im meant to be doing homework erm! #vee chats #vee rants

the bittersweet between my teeth - chapter fourteen

It’s been almost two weeks, but Ava still isn’t used to waking up in Beatrice’s bed.

There was no grand discussion about it after that first night. At no point did either of them really talk about how nice it was to fall asleep together and decide to keep doing it.

They just sort of fell into it again and again for the first few days.

Given how hard the last few weeks had been for her, when Beatrice woke up that next day after a full night of sleep she cried.

Ava laid in Beatrice’s bed, held her and let her cry for a good twenty minutes.

Then they spent the whole day doing absolutely nothing around their apartment. Ava played games and Beatrice watched. They ordered bad food and Beatrice told her how hard it had been to eat - how nothing had taste and every bite felt like a chore.

So Ava slipped out for five minutes to run to the nearest store and bought them three tubs of ice cream.

It was the mint chocolate chip that finally got Beatrice’s attention.

That’s not to say that Ava’s presence was some kind of magic pill that fixed everything. No, as much as Beatrice loves to tell her that she’s special, she isn’t quite that special.

#5.3 Hwaryun

"I suppose you're looking for me?" A familiar red-haired woman approached Grace, her lips carefully smoothed to reveal no emotion.

"I am." Grace acknowledged her presence and gave her a friendly smile. It had been so long since he last heard her voice, and it was grounding in a way that only a guide could be. There was something different about the way she looked at him, but Grace supposed that it was to be expected.

"What is it that you want to discuss with me?"

Grace hummed and felt like humoring her a little. "Take a guess."

"You do know that I'm not a mind reader." Hwaryun gave him just the briefest hint of a smirk, and it was all he needed to see to know that she already knew what he wanted. "But if I had to guess, perhaps you want to join 'us'?"

"That's right," Grace confirmed.

"Very well. I will arrange a meeting with the director for you, but I'm sure you'll be accepted after he tests your strength."

Grace could already picture how bad the test would go, knowing Hansung. But knowing what the outcome would be eased some of his worry. "Thank you, Hwaryun."

obligatory 'i feel a bit bad to that one anon bc it's the usual case that your ask wasn't actually bad so much as a bit annoying but alas it's the breaking point of something that's been bugging me so now im making a post about it' disclaimer but if you really really REALLY feel the need to ask me when the next update is going to be on a fic - and please ask yourself if you really need to - then i have some things for your consideration. the first is that i have a tag called 'taob updates'. when i am writing taob, i talk about it on here. initially and mostly, it's bc i genuinely enjoy sharing the experience and it helps me get my thoughts in order, but also it's my way of going 'hey, taob is happening! look!' if there have been posts in the 'taob updates' tag lately, then yay! an update is imminent and/or i tend to actually SAY on those posts how long i think the chapter will take. 'what if there haven't been any posts in that tag for a while?!' i hear you cry. 'what if you're actively posting for another fandom and clearly enjoying yourself and dont want to constantly have cold water dumped on you for a thing you currently aren't thinking about?' well.... maybe.... maybe i am not writing taob at that time..... and crazier yet.... maybe you demanding it isn't going to make me switch interests at a moment's notice.... food for thought x

#this always happens when we reach the ~2 month mark between updates i just start getting progressively shittier anons #and it's like yeah i bet you think it's harmless. i bet you might even think it's encouraging #which is why im not saying any of this maliciously but instead to explain how it looks like from MY point of view #like im seriously enjoying mha atm. im having fic ideas for it. me having fic ideas for a non-atla fandom IMPROVES my writing #wholesale bc it breaks me out of the block id be in if i forced myself to remain in the atla fandom #but even without needlessly justifying the space i take in other fandoms in terms of what they can contribute to taob #you shouldn't be bothering writers anyway! there are ways of encouraging specific fics without being annoying about it! #so yeah <3 just saying

hi hi. uhm small thing regarding cmi. if you're a reader, do lmk what you think please 🤍

#so i got an ask regarding cmi that discouraged the hell out of me #they weren't talking badly about it but kind of comparing me to another author on here and asked me #to postpone my update so they're not overwhelmed with all the reading they'd have to do #i usually don't compare myself with my friends or other writers on here and don't care about posting dates #but that discouraged me more than it should've and i can't get much writing done rn lol #just wanna ask.. if i absolutely had to and didn't finish.. would you guys be okay if i posted cmi8 next weekend instead of this week? #and if i do finish... will y'all be around this saturday? #i'm extremely down for some reason lol but i've been outlining planning changing writing etc this chapter for months now and... #want to make sure you guys are around to read and interact #the community labels are already very bleh so it'd be bleh too if cmi8 didn't get any interaction yk? #in any case.. yeah lmk #and please don't ever compare authors to each other guys :') it no feel good #or ask someone to postpone cos of another writer.. #fic: colour me in

He doesn’t remember the last time that he had the time to do something as simple as just look up. He’s been running for so long, he’s been trapped and let go and pushed and dragged across the world and back again, and he doesn’t know how it happened but somehow he has found himself standing still—maybe for the first time since he found out he was a demigod. Maybe for the first time since he and Biance were brought out of the Lotus and back into the real world, when she’d cupped his face between her hands and promised, “Now we’ll have a real life, you and I.”

He wonders, as he often does, what she would think if she could see him now.

-

or,

Starting after Nico's three-day-stay in the infirmary, the repercussions of being alone and fighting in two wars—across the span of only four years, might he add—begin to manifest. Featuring the formation of new friendships, reconciliation with old ones, self-reinvention, and the revolutionary concept that it's okay to just be a kid and need people sometimes.

#joking obviously but omg #I only follow a handful of WIPs and I think they ALL updated this week when I had no reading time??? #and I know by the time I get to reading this week there will probably be MORE?!!? #I mean it's a very good 'problem' to have #but it also makes the sunday scaries even scarier when you don't want to go to work bc you know how much fic you could be reading instead

I've been meaning to ask but do you hate Danganronpa now?

Oh no no not at all. I love dr! And I love ghau!

But I need you to understand that I am literally constantly rotating ninja turtles in my head and there's a MOVIE. SOON. this will continue to last fo a good bit

#prom is talking #ask #unironically one of my biggest hyperfiations in. ages like. #i loved dr and p5 but i cannot stress enough that they were not onTHIS level of a dopamine hit #i am COLLECTING MERCH WHERE I CAN. I JUSTGOT A VERY CUTE LIL MIKE PLUSH. #anyway another big thing with dr is. i kinda dont have anything to talk about and no ones come to my inbox with anything interesting? #i have considered starting to just post random updates of ghau wip? idk if that would help my adhd? #but i dont want you guys to like the fic less as a rwsult of becoming a part of the writing process instead of getting a fun surprise

[un-pearable]

at all times fighting the urge to rewatch s1

#look me being overly attached to the early days of a series is far from new but ooooooh the s1 ninja live in my head #all of them. so important to me. my old post about taking new info introduced later on in a series to reinterpret the og #is only more and more relevant bc with all the nonsense they e introduced it only makes the early stuff more heart wrenching #love how cole’s mother fundamentally changes so much of how he acts in the pilots and s1. everything about zane is augmented knowing he’ll #get to live in a world where there are others like him that can look to him for guidance and!! be his equals!!!! #kai is obvious. considering how fundamental his relationship with lloyd is but ohhh #nya. girl ily and so much of you is caught up in the weird messaging around gender later on but i could talk about you for ages and #the way you’re chatactrrizaed later on when they finally give you time is stunning. #if you can’t tell i really really really want to write more fic about s1 incorporating that stuff and instead i’m. making tumblr posts #oops. anyway. tag rant over i love s1 and should really get back on updating ninjaudio #text✨ #ninjago #this ramble brought to you by i started skybound today!! ow.

💝what is a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

💥find your least kudos'd fic - say something wonderful about it.

💝what is a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

If You Dare! My hakizana fics are not usually SUPER popular, but they tend to garner at least a little interest, but that one didn't even get a blip 🤣Too bad, that one was going to get smutty in the next chapter or two. ONE DAY.

💥find your least kudos'd fic - say something wonderful about it.

That would be To My Esteemed Enemy with three whole kudos, which is both surprising and not, because it's a fic with a pairing that is more popular than my main ship in that fandom, but it 1) doesn't have any ship content in it yet, 2) is using canon characterization of Kazama, which displeases the people who want him to be a sexy villain and also the people who want him to be a uwu good boy trying his best. It's easy to say something nice about this, because I spent HOURS poring over Hakuouki lore to get this into shape and was SO PLEASED with the results. It just needs a few more chapters to really find an audience, I think, but I don't have the time right now to put my effort into it.

#asks #meme #fic meme #my posting schedule was so regular over the last year that i really lost any sort of idea of what was popular at all #because i would post something and then everyone was so used to something being posted #that they'd sit on it instead of like...ravenously reading it and commenting in the hopes that I'd come back to it #so when stuff made no splash i wouldn't even notice until weeks later when I was looking through stats #usually just to find a fic i needed to reference #and i'd be like oh okay hm that's data #when not even popular stuff gets a lot of movement it doesn't hit you so hard when other stuff doesn't either #it's been weird this year because i haven't been able to post weekly due to life getting in the way #this is cold and snow season and it makes my writing days very spotty and i'm trying to just go with the flow on it #so when i DO post something there's like an EXPLOSION of activity #it's been interesting to see how when you regularly post no one say anything unless you miss an update #but when there's no promise of an update to come suddenly everything you post is much more valuable in people's heads #i have fics in other fandoms with SUPER rare pairs #and they really only get updates once every two months because i focus more on ANS #and like those chapters just explode on contact now. everyone comments and wants to talk about the characters and what's going on #and now that i'm really only posting ANS every 2-3 weeks it's starting to be the same here too #just SUPER interesting how the human brain works when it comes to this stuff

thanks for the tag @purgetrooperfox !

Rules: Write the latest line from your wip and tag as many people as there are words in the line. Make a new post, don’t reblog 

Skywalker glared at the two Jedi.

You managed to tag me as I'm editing the Mustafar fight and yet the last sentence I wrote wasn't even that cool lol.

Tagging: @rollinginmoondust @jedi-valjean @jgvfhl @fate-and-destiny @thezegendofzelda @ninjasawakenedmystar

#you could've gotten pain if i was tagged earlier / later #almost shared a part of chapter 21 as my last line instead of chapter 39 #because my editing of chapter 39 is taking place outside of the main tcwganv doc #and in the main doc the last thing i was working on was the beginning of chapter 21 #but just because as of now updated mustafar isn't in the doc doesn't mean it won't be im definitely liking this version than the prev ones #the amount of times I've rewritten that fight at this point- #fic: the clone wars gets a new victim

yesterday i was literally dragging myself along by my fingertips sobbing the whole time abt how i didn’t want to write and it was too hard & then today had the errant thought that all i had to do to be done with nano was write the remaining 13k

…so i’m sitting at 2k already logged today and i’m planning on writing at LEAST a thousand more words tonight. ideally as many as, say, 4.3k more. just hypothetically. maybe another 6.3k tomorrow to bring my total up to 12.6k in two days. my monthly total up to 50k. who’s to say, really

#the moon speaks #writing shit #never underestimate my ability to churn out words once i have a goal in mind #such as finally getting the freedom to write silly little aus again #only 10.6k left to go why i could practically do that all tonight #next year.. next year will be easier bc i can start on the sequel instead #turns out ''finishing'' a book for nano is way harder than ''starting'' it #at this point i basically ONLY have the mystery scenes and the really fucking hard ones i don’t want to write #o how i long for the days when i had chapters upon chapters to fill at my leisure #i think for the year after next i’ll just do a fic probably. maybe a few. go more for the daily word count and productive than the #traditional novel writing goal. ofc that means i gotta finish zenith2 on my own time but i’m sure i can do that #hehe… #ANYWAY . i’m so close and then i can write crack taken seriously octavia pov ship fics again #how i’ve missed you my dears #no but actually the funniest part is bc i want all the badges i’m gonna have to keep writing even past 50k #so i can get that updated all 30 days badge. you will be mine completionist achievement #it’s fine though i’ve decided au fic words will count towards that as long as they’re zenith (i don’t write anything else)
