Lights Are So Bright by QuickedWeen (G, 2.1k)

Newly first-string quarterback Louis Tomlinson mentions enough times in interviews that he's a fan of mega-famous popstar Harry Styles that people start to notice. At least one person does...

Now it’s practically Sunday. I’m just giving up entirely. I’ve had very little sleep this week thanks to a sinus infection that just. Won’t. Stop. So I’m off my game. But there are words! That I wrote!

Yeah I did it I finally wrote an alpha fight like you all begged me to for years, it’s here and it’s queer

If I were you guys I’d be laying bets on the blonde fyi

Wordplay 2023 Meme

I saw @justanothershadeofblue share this idea from @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed and thought it would be fun! Tagging @lululawrence and @wordplayfics to spread the Wordplay love. :)

How did you come up with your ideas for the fics? Can you take us through your process after first receiving the prompt? I started Wordplay with a few ideas of tropes I wanted to try writing, things I hadn't written before. The main idea I wanted to play around with was writing an age difference fic, so that was what the first week and third week ended up being, was a little two-part series. The second week's story was just vibes. I saw the word "run" and... ran. :P

What is your favorite fic you wrote for Wordplay this year? The first one, No Place I'd Rather Be, for sure. I'm so proud of it. I wrote some lines that I just feel so proud of, and I feel I really achieved the feel I was going for. Plus it's just fluffy and cute and sweet.

If you’ve participated in previous years of Wordplay, what has been your favorite prompt from all years you participated in? Ohhhhh if I had to pick... way back in Wordplay 2.0, in 2018, I wrote a sweet fic called Love, This Wild Thing, that took place in Paris. It was a friends to lovers and just... so sweet. That's another one where I wrote some lines that I felt so proud of. It's still one of my favorite things I've written.

What was the shortest fic you wrote? The longest? The shortest of all my is Are We In the Clear at 1300 words. The longest is No Place I'd Rather Be at 29k.

What fic of yours surprised you? Are We In the Clear surprised me because of how much I liked it. I liked the premise I was playing around with but I wasn't sure if I'd execute it the way I wanted. I was really proud with how it turned out!

Were there any prompts you struggled to find an idea for? Not really! The prompts were really good this year and ideas came really easily. Definitely one of the easier years of Wordplay for me. :)

Were there any prompts you had an idea for but ended up writing something different? If so, what made you choose to change what you wrote? Do you think you’ll ever write your original idea at a later date? I had an idea for the fourth prompt, "forge", but the idea ran away with me and is becoming a long fic, which is why I ended up not writing something for weeks four and five of Wordplay this year. This long fic sort of took over my life.

What do you think was the most difficult as well as the easiest part about the Wordplay Challenge? The time, as always. Making sure the story I want to tell is something I can tell within the time limit. It's the fun and the challenge cause I also love seeing how many words I can write in a week.

If you participate again next year, is there anything you’ll do differently? If so, what? I've never actually done all five weeks of a Wordplay, cause inevitably an idea runs away with me. So next year, I'd love to actually get out five stories! :P

If you participated in Wordplay, play along! I love reading these sorts of things from other fanfic writers!

Im getting back on my Seraph of the End bullshit. I only owned up to volume 7 and I’ve ordered the rest up through 12 so I can finally get back to working on my fic.

My job is night shift so I haven’t had much time to write.

people telling you they reread your fic is the biggest compliment you could ever receive. there are thousands of stories out there begging to be found, to be explored, but your story meant so much to someone that they came back to it eagerly, they went over every word again. to love is to return and loving a fic is rereading it. thank you to all readers and rereaders <3333

Love when writers do an insane amount of unnecessary research for their fics. I follow an author that did like 8 months of intense research into 14th century Scotland so they could write smut about it, and guess what. It was some fucking incredible porn AND I learned about old Scottish politics

#personal tag #and I’ll stand by them!!!! #author of this fic I summon thee to this post #I love your intense research and I don’t give a FUCK how long it’ll take to post a chapter #take your time I’ll be here :):)

This... this is a whole different kind of psychic damage here. When nightmares got Marcille, we get to knew that her's biggest fear is outliving her friends. This isn't even canon probably, but look at this. This isn't a "I don't want my friends to die" kind of dream. This is a "I'm terrified of loosing my daughters, of something killing them, and being incapable of stopping it" kind of dream. It's so simple yet it explains perfectly the whole of chilchucks character. He loves, he cares, deeply. But he, or doesn't acknowledges, or doesn't know what to do with that knowledge.

Besides that. Someone had to wake him up after this. Imagine the devastation in this man after he wakes up. He just saw his three little babys murdered corpses (or maybe he saw them die, wich isn't better). He would possibly not talk about it, and that would worry the hell out of the party, because we'll, they see him all down and only one of them knows what he saw. Imagine being the one to pull him from that nightmare. Seeing this man, usually so composed, fuking staring with tears and terror in his eyes to the composes of what you can only assume are his daughters. It would be heartwrenching.

Idk, I love this man so much...

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

#i said i wont ever rant about this bc it's unseemly but HONESTLY. #you simply cannot complain about not having enough of A or B or C and then never reblog / interact with the content you love. #If you LOVE something you cannot just leave a like and silently wait for more to happen #I know countless of content creators that simply stopped doing art/writing fic/making edits #You need to understand that fandom content is made FOR the fandom FOR the engagement FOR the entertainment and fun it makes. #If a content creator does not have fun IN the fandom-- why would they spend the scares free time they have on making this content? #And we're not talking about things that you don't like-- no one expects you to reblog things you don't like. #However I think it's safe to say that when a post has more than 5k it's not some random shitpost with no value. #tumblr issues #tumblr #content creators #buns.txt #something something please don't starve your local clowns

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -

I am fine with "the audience" -

downloading my fics

printing my fics

copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics

sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3

making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss

doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc

I am not fine with "the audience"

doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity

feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever

Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.

Enjoy the fandom things.

#fanfic #ao3 #archive of our own #fandom things #tumblr things #i may have said this at some point #i'm sure i have #but whatever - just in case #i don't say this with the presumption that i'm so amazing and people are clamoring to save my fics #but just if anyone is so inclined that's all #ftr i don't intend on ever removing my fics from ao3 or deleting fandom things from this blog #i've always shared my fandom things with the intent of keeping them shared bc that's the whole point of posting #but the fandom atmosphere and ao3 constantly being under attack who knows what can happen #not that this applies to anyone but should all else fail you can also reach out to me and i will personally give you a copy #at least of fics bc i save everything #not so much the tumblr things but this is a good reminder to myself that i should do that for the things i care about #that i've made or done and only posted here #anyway sorry i have now used up my quota of the putting words into sentences doing for today #i have plans to stare into the void now

I have been snowed in for two days and all I can do is write smut and eat snickers and I’m all outta snickers

It’s that Arcane CaitVi smut this time! And it’s some slow burn tension 🔥 with a shared shower scene and forced fake alleyway make out. You can read what oil does to water ch.1 now on AO3 and/or skip ahead to Patreon to read the second chapter for some Piltover’s Finest ABO.

Have a great weekend to those of you not surrounded by a blizzard! I’m gonna be here, furiously depleting our chocolate supplies as well as aggravating my carpal tunnel.

I think it's mean how some people talk about fics on AO3.

'Oh you gotta wade through literal trash to find the good stuff'.

Were you not a beginner once? Did you not write crack fic or self indulgent things for your own entertainment?

Maybe don't speak that way about your fellow fic writers? Just because some fics aren't as polished as others, or involve fetishes and tropes you don't enjoy, or are not the style you want your fics to be doesn't mean they're trash.

It's a horrible thing to say and beginners are going to be discouraged from writing knowing that their fics might be considered trash because they're just starting out.

#on fanfiction #archive of our own #ao3 #fanfiction #this is inspired by a lot of the posts i see floating around that talk about fics like that #*i* dont read everything either #but you can say this is not for me without insulting the fics #(also mutuals this is not directed at any of you im not vaguing anyone on my dash) #these posts have existed for years

YOU THERE! YES YOU! FIC READER!

I just read a fic from 2013 and left a comment on the end. The author responded within 3 hours.

Please leave comments on fics. It doesn't matter if you don't know what to say I literally made a joke about a space worm. Please comment on fics it'll make the authors day even if its from 9 years ago.

#fanfiction #fanfic #ao3 #all those posts about reblogging art now lets make a bunch of posts about interacting with fics
