#for way too fucking long

[kiwisbell]

Hi Kiwi!! I just recently joined tumblr and have already started writing my own baby story, but I have no idea how to get it to reach people. Everyone in the tlou/joel miller fandom seems so lovely and I’m eager to become part of it but I don’t know how to start!! Any words of advice from such a WONDERFUL writer would be greatly appreciated 🥲❤️

HI NONNIE!!

first of all, thank you so much for such kind words!! you are too sweet - i'm thrilled to see you here on this mad website! 🫶 and to come to me for advice?? i promise i'll try not to ramble too much!

i joined tumblr a few months ago and have met so many lovely people!! it's tough to get a handle on the way things work, and sometimes i still feel like a fish out of water, but you're absolutely right, the fandom is filled with so many lovely folks, and plenty of us are always eager to read new stories!! think of us like raccoons creeping around at night for shiny little tidbits to sink our claws into.

my biggest piece of advice is to interact, interact, interact! if you're a big reader, reblog and/or comment on the fics you like!! this is a HUGE help to not only support other writers, but also put yourself out there for people to see! if you're an invisible reader, you won't be seen! it might not feel like you're making much of a difference, but writers notice the readers that comment and reblog their works, and will sometimes check out your blog on their own to see what's up. interacting is probably the most effective way to get yourself out there!

plus, plenty of authors in the fandom will often reach out to ask folks for recs (including self-recs!) that can help you promote your story! some of the fics i think about most have very few notes or hits; BUT it's important to remember that a smaller number of notes is not and will never be equivalent to your worth as a writer!! some characters, tropes, and tags draw fewer readers by nature of their popularity, and that's okay! (but i get it - it's nice to know people are responding well to your writing 🤭)

when i posted my first baby fic, i didn't know what was up and expected nobody to read it, and when i got my first comment, i'm pretty sure i squealed. it's a huge, huge accomplishment to put your writing out there in the first place, and while it can be tough to get the hang of the difficulty of tumblr the website™️ itself, you're a fucking legend for choosing to sit down, write, and post your story!!

this is by no means an exhaustive piece of advice for how to get your story out there, and good things always take time. but i can confidently say that if there's an audience for a story, that audience will find what they're looking for. i can't wait for you to find your audience - and i hope some of this advice strikes true!

go forth into the fandom baby - you're gonna kill it!! 🫶

#sweet anon #i don't know how to give advice #but i hope this helps my love! #kiwi babbles #for way too fucking long

I think this is like the most effort I ever put into something that was supposed to be a funny goofy but then turned into me giggling and kicking my feet. I'm in need for soft Moon cuddles, with all his gremlin energy still present...

Close ups, mostly Moon's limbs because I like how they're gripping the net fkdkkd

And finally the "reference" that started it all lmao😭

Dp x Dc AU: Tim doesn’t rest, not even in Death.

It’s a heart attack that gets him, well, that and the insane amount of fear toxin flooding his system. He was dead for a full three minutes before he watches (how was he watching?) his eldest brother get his heart going again and get his unconscious body to the cave. Alfred gets him onto bat-life support and Leslie looks gravely at his family after she’s done her best to heal him. They decide to keep trying, they don’t want to believe he’s gone.

Tim watches in fury. He’s more useful than this, he’s not just going to die and let the family mourn him! Tim sets to work trying to understand what’s happened to him and he realizes he must be a ghost. Therefore, if he wants to understand ghosts he needs to go where ghosts are, and thankfully he just read a JLD doc saying to avoid Amity Park at all costs.

It’s takes him a second to get used to flying at full speed, but he finds himself surrounded by strange people in a strange town and… he notices himself becoming more visible. He’s able to interact with more and more objects, he even picked up a pencil! Poltergeist is a step forward in his plan, Tim accepts this change of pace.

Then Tim meets Danny, a normal human kid who looks like he could be brought into the manor and given a cape, who looks straight at him.

“Wait, who are you? You didn’t die in Amity did you?”

“No, I died in Gotham. I came here to understand how I’m a ghost and how I can get back to my dying body. I just need a few answers.” Tim explains, and notices that his voice isn’t his own, like it’s a different language entirely that comes out.

“Well, uh, I dunno about going back to your body but it’s not safe for you to be here. The GIW are looking for lost souls like you that people won’t notice go missing. So get back to your family and find peace. Im sorry but that’s really the best advice I have.” Danny answers.

Tim begs him for answers on the GIW. Begs him for any answers at all. Danny shrugs him off each time, tell him that he’s just a ghost and he needs to move on before he gets hurt or becomes a problem.

Tim decides if he’s a problem, he’ll probably get more answers.

Soon enough, he’s stepping into the end of a battle where Phantom is getting Skulker into a thermos, and demands answers, and if not answers help.

They brawl, and Tim’s training as Red Robin gets him farther than a lot of ghosts. And then, when he knows he’s beat and he’s about to share thermos space with the robot jackass (who he can interrogate and then build his own robot) Tim realizes something.

“You’re still alive, aren’t you? You’re Danny, black hair and blue eyes.” Tim says and suddenly Phantom is as still as the dead despite the accusation.

“How the fuck- dude. Okay, you know what? Fine. Lets go talk, you’re clearly not giving up and I need you to never say that shit out loud ever again.”

Because blackmail works in life for Tim, blackmail also apparently works in death.

He’s given all of the info they have on the GIW, he’s introduced to ghost technology and how it works with ectoplasm. He’s told about the portal (although they refuse to sneak him into the house to see it- he can handle a few lasers, ugh) and he’s told about the general sequence of events in Danny’s life/death.

And then Tim is suddenly back in his body in Gotham.

The family found a way to bring him back and he’s 100% alive, no longer ghostly, but he retained all his memories.

“We have a war against the government to start” are not the first words his family expected to hear from Tim post death.

#dcxdp #dpxdc #dc x dp #dp x dc #dc crossover #dp crossover #danny phantom #Tim drake #ehehehe #long post #Tim’s obsession is answers if that isn’t obvious #danny does not anticipate Tim’s ghost disappearing to mean that Batman comes to his town #and the JL suddenly lobbying the government to overturn the acts as they violate a shit ton of other laws #Tim eventually makes it back to amity as a human and Danny is like *WHAT* #they get coffee and Tim explains to danny that he’s scrubbed all the GIW files and is about to take down his parents #he wants Danny’s blessing to go after the portal and danny is blushing so fucking hard but agrees that his parent have been out of line #for like way too long #Tim and danny become friends because they’re just two restless souls who have shit to do and not even death can stop them

Hey guys!! Sorry for the lack of posts recently! I entered a hole in the wall and when I got out I realized I didn't know how long I'd been in there, or where I was, or who I am, and I'm not sure that I'm still the person who entered that hole however long ago. Anyway, the normal posting schedule will resume as soon as I remember what my normal posting schedule was, and if I'm still the person who had that posting schedule!

Me, an author, side eyeing my WIP: you're not going to do anything weird, are you? We've discussed this. There's a plan. We're going to stick to the plan, aren't we?

The WIP: *presents subplot, presents additional conflicts, presents character development, laughs in my fucking face*

#raetttriestowrite #fanfiction #writer problems #raett rants about writing #look honestly it's not that bad but it's relatable #so feel free to reblog #just. Bless This Mess is a disaster of a series and there are way the fuck too many things going on #and i'm staring at the word count of the next part #and am really hoping that isn't an indicator of how long this is gonna be #but don't hold your breath #i am very very slow. and i'm not that far through the plot. and it's uh. 3.5k #so. this may take a while. hopefully not six months but we'll see #considering i'm fully expecting to be laughed at by my plan as per the post
