#my first long fic in this fandom...

[writeouswriter]

My followers: And is this “writing” you’ve been “working on” in the room with us right now?

#writing #writeblr #writer things #writing humour #textpost #writing humor #relatable #funny #I genuinely am writing for the first time in a long while #but it’s uh it’s for an angst fanfic for a fandom one wouldn’t expect fic for necessarily #and I’m embarrassed but I’m not because it’s good but you’re never seeing it it’s between me and my ao3 when I finally do finish it #it’s at 6000 words but fr that’s the most I’ve written on a single thing in a long time and it’s still going! #last time I wrote/finished anything in forever was also for this fandom back in November <3 nature is healing #it’s slow going but I’m hoping to finish it before June 😭

“I am completely normal about Danny Phantom, it’s been too many years since I’ve watched it to be obsessed!” I say, adding hundreds of posts to my queue, opening fanfic to read later, and daydreaming about AUs

#Danny Phantom #I'm planning on rewatching it and writing poetry for each episode #Gotta finish my current long-fic first that's my RULE #But who am I kidding I'm absolutely in the outskirts of the fandom of this point

[kimasousparky]

i've been thinking too much about them, is all (i cant believe i like tokrev now) (waiting for s3) (dont mind my awful doodles, more to come!)

#tokyo revengers #sano manjiro #hanagaki takemichi #kurokawa izana #kakucho #mizo middle five #doodle #it's been long since last time i posted anything in my main lmaooo #OH YEA I FORGOT ABOUT FIXING IZANA'S EYES LOL !!!! look away pls #i've been a bit delusional about the potential of platonic izatakekaku trio. their dynamic wouldve been !! wow!! #these thoughts made me write smth too #i cant believe the first fic i wrote for a different fandom was tokrev

[mamawasatesttube]

one thing that is kinda wild to notice is the way fic seems to have gotten a shorter and shorter lifespan over the years. granted, i only have my own anecdotal experience to go by, and there's plenty of factors that can contribute to that, but it's wild because like i remember posting fic in like 2015 would get so much more engagement over time than posting fic today. in 2015 if i posted something i generally would get comments and interaction with it for a week or so before it tapered off into obscurity. today, its like. you post a fic and after 24 hours its dead in the water. odd.

#rimi talks #on the one level i don't care because i know the value of my own effort #on another level it's like... man. this really does incentivize me to stop writing stuff that's long #bc you get more people actually talking to you about your work if its short and you post constantly #of course posting constantly is like. a recipe for super fast burnout #and i LIKE writing longer stuff in the like novellaish range #but the way fics just Dont get comments after the first day or so is so wild to me bc i SWEAR it wasnt always that fast a cycle #i mean comics fandom might just be worse about it than any fandom ive been in before #but i dont know!! it FEELS like a general trend over time at least.

[sailor-aviator]

If you're reading this, this is your sign to write that weird/fun AU or trope even if it's been done before.

#we are not in the business of gatekeeping aus and tropes #in fact i wish someone else would write about pirates and mermaids and the old west #that's why i wrote my fics in the first place - because i couldn't find any #if y'all want to write about them then by all means please do!! #as long as you aren't copying word for word then it's fine!! #that's what fandom is all about!! #I'm literally reading three different mafia aus for a different fandom and i'm eating every single one of them up!!!!!!

[fluffydice]

HOLY SHIT Say I’m the Best (Bow to Your Princess #1) reached 1,000 kudos, what the fuck,,, that’s so cool. I know not everyone who reads my fics is on tumblr, but to those who are, thank you so much <3 everything you guys do motivates me to create

#love you guys lots :3 #shout out especially to ppl who don’t even really care ab kubosai and still like the fic. you own my heart #didn’t think I’d ever have the capacity to finish a fic but. my first complete long fic is all grown up now. sniffle #this disease actually isn’t that far behind now that I’m looking…sick #this will not save you from more Kusuo abuse =^•w•^= #saiki k #yeah sure why not. since that’s what the fic’s fandom is

[tethered-heartstrings]

after my first fic and almost a year of writer's block, i didn't think i would write anything else and that i'd only have the one fic, but since i started writing/posting again almost a year ago, i've written 11 fics totaling 120k which is wild to me

#and i am glad i did bc my writing got so much better and i explored more things and tried new stuff and wrote smut for the first time lmaooo #this isnt including a pwp i just finished btw but that's only like 7.5k #i hope to hit at least a total of 500k and i am more than halfway there #ALSO insane my first fic in the fandom ever was so fucking long lol #speaking clown #i did write another wip and its 77k but i abandoned it so idk if that counts either #but i estimate its half done so would have been over 100k if that means anything lol #do people post unfinished fic on purpose? i have thought about posting it unfinished just because i like what i've done with it #but ik people hate unfinished fic too so :/

Cover construction for The silent isle imbowers, July-Aug 2023.

Finished binding here.

Materials shown: metallic gold and matte black heat transfer vinyl with cricut-cut designs, cricut-cut paper stencil, acrylic paint, bookcloth made of cotton + drawing paper backing + Lineco PVA glue. Calligraphy by quillingwords, flower art and cover construction by me.

————-General tips on how to make smth like this:

Steps in order were (1) have bookcloth, (2) cut and paint stencil, (3) cut and weed both HTV layers, (4) apply black HTV, (5) apply gold HTV, (6) add paint detail with paintbrush over the vinyl, (7) apply bookcloth to cover board.

This is not a beginner-friendly design LOL. Be like me and try most of the steps by themselves on other projects first.

I drew this design knowing how the sections would be layered, and which materials (and therefore colors) would go with each layer. Achieving a similar result with a premade design will likely require editing in a digital art program.

Test how your materials will layer before committing to a complex design. In this case I discovered that the type of bookcloth I made actually helps conceal the adhesive spread under the black HTV.

Layering HTV over small sections of acrylic paint works! Cannot confirm the result if you were to use large painted sections.

PSA This black layer with many very small pointy bits is at the extreme limit of what I think is possible to weed from machine-cut HTV. A different material might work better, and I got a lot faster at weeding the second copy than the first one, but some of this is just a technical limit. The gold section worked great but I would not recommend this for the black.

Layering HTV is much easier to do uniformly with a heat press! Check if your local library or maybe an art class studio has one you can use before doing smth like this with your iron.

Paper stencils are easy to make with the cricut but don’t try to use them for anything with small details. The above example is pushing it despite being very simple shapes. Stick-on stencils are better.

Tiny HTV design tip: designs with jagged sections and very thin lines are hardest to weed successfully. Smooth curves are much easier.

Scale all pieces of a stacked design on the same drawing program and within the same canvas in cricut so they layer precisely.

Cut tiny HTV designs with the washi paper setting on a cricut. I did not find this out myself but I can confirm the results! Using the HTV setting will cause the blade to catch on and pull up small sections of the design while cutting, ruining parts of the design.

—————-Tiny HTV design weeding tips:

For the love of cheese do not try anything this complicated the first time you use a cricut. or the second. you will cry

Seriously consider trying both HTV and cricut stencils before doing anything complicated like this. I wish I had at least attempted the black layer as a stick-on stencil.

This isn't a weeding tip but again you better cut this with a washi setting.

Use a very sharp weeding tool, good lighting, and consider a magnifying glass

Be prepared for this to take several hours, especially if you have never done a tiny piece before.

Important! The cricut does not perfectly cut out designs, leaving very small connected sections around the design at various locations. This is almost unnoticeable on large designs but can ruin tiny designs very easily. Be prepared to hold down the “keep” sections of the design with tweezers or a fingertip while pulling or trimming off some of the “remove” negative space.

Do NOT attempt to pull off all the negative space in a single piece. Either add dividing lines to your design for the machine to cut, or use a sharp tool to scrape them yourself. You are much less likely to accidentally remove part of your design if you weed the design in distinct sections.

I started the first one and was like I may have made a terrible mistake #renegade chat lighting candles for me #worth it!! also would hopefully come up with a more efficient stencil strategy instead next time!! #I normally post wip stuff on my side blog but figured this might be worth going on main #also the first wip photo looks neat so #only the vision of this fic being a Really Hecking Badass Book could sustain me thru 12 hours of weeding those black layers #my Learn Bookbinding Skills strategy is basically to choose an extremely ambitious project that excites me enough to keep me motivated #and then to just work on it for months because I am stubborn as all hell and genuinely find this fun instead of frustrating :D #tailfeather binding #id in alt text #described #update I have added ids!

They settle and the vet rocks them, a hand playing with the braids in Warriors' hair, hums and it's okays getting kissed into his bangs.

hey so carved  //  hollowed    by @quirkle2 made me feel emotions. hello linked universe nation

#SO AJRHBGKAJRHBL #IVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR. HOURS #i made 90% of this while on my pain meds so if you see any mistakes no u dont <3 #im SO soft for them jay you have NO idea #saw you posted a 20000 word warriors hurt/comfort fic and went OH??????? like a cartoon character #this is the first time ive ever completed a comic page too!!! man. csp frame borders were an Experience #BUT JFSBKLAHBRLAK ANYWAY #THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR FIC WITH THE FANDOM I ATE IT LIKE A BIG BOWL OF WARM SOUP #your warriors literally lands so perfectly into my Circle of Characters That I Deeply Enjoy and i love him :) #i want good things for warriors. he can have some hurt/comfort. as a treat. good for him. thank u op for my life #lu warriors #lu legend #linked universe #also i loved the part in the fic where they go to wars' era and so much of it is just so unwelcoming to him. like.... #his house doesnt feel like his. his 'friends' (artemis n impa) dont feel like friends. his people arent his people. not really #and knowing that later down the line he'll be completely disowned and banished really puts it all into perspective that #maybe it was his home once. maybe when he was a child and his mother was still alive to take him by the hand and show him the warm parts #of his era. but she's long gone. and maybe the warmth went with her too. the last of it stored in his scarf. #so he'll have to find that warmth somewhere else. glad that ledge and the others can be that warmth for him. god damn #feeling emotions in this chili's tonight..... im....... Oh My God...... could ramble about this All Night #thank you quirkle :) #this is the first fandom/non oc-related thing ive drawn in years. hallelujah #i am. so tired KARJBGALKJRBLKA #GOOD NIGHT LINKED UNIVERSE NATION #blues draws #maybe that can become a more regularly used tag! perhaps. perchance to dream

[thegreatyin]

in a lot of ways the scoundrel's relationship with transhumanism parallels beechwood's... Everything about transhumanism. in ways i didn't intend in the slightest going into heart's desire but now that ive finished it all and am looking back. there really was only one way this all could end

#yin-thoughts #fallen london #two players with the ultimate goal of becoming something more than human. one goes down the other goes up #and the scoundrel is left there. standing on their own lovely little pedestal. the world looks so small now #the monkeys look so happy from all the way up here. #i have a lot of thoughts on heart's desire but if you couldn't tell by my many many long tag ramblings #i very much enjoyed it! it was great! im kind of attached to the scoundrel as an oc now! fuck! #they're the kind of character im kinda itching to make a dedicated character study fic for? #which. the thought that it'd be the first actual fanfic of actual fandom literature that ive made in YEARS is WILD lol

Clouds of pink and storm

At the climax of the time loop Alan was stuck in he meets Alice, a triumphant reunion punctuated by their warm embrace, but what does this looks like for her? The sudden apparition of her long lost lover in a time where they were both happy. In a place where the pain they went through was only a dull echo.

[hoipeepsimruby]

Genshin things that I will ignore in canon:

Diluc and Kaeya exchanging letters to each other during his 3-4 year revenge quest

Kid Kaeya was a perfect angel who never did anything wrong

Adult Kaeya is a perfect angel who never did anything wrong

(Let the man be morally dubious that’s when he’s most interesting. Plus his recent characterization is inconsistent with his earlier one and his bio lore)

Yae Miko tormenting every single Inazuma guy character (her silly rivalry with Itto can stay it’s funny)

60% of the Venti alcohol jokes (they aren’t funny most of the time. The only time it’s funny is times like when Beidou wouldn’t let Venti and Kazuha drink despite them both being of legal drinking age)

Paimon being the travelers voice (I’m in the minority where I like Paimon as I feel she’s the travelers annoying little sister and with that in mind she’s written rather well but I do agree with everyone who’s annoyed with how she speaks for the traveler. While I��ve never published any fanfics in a lot of my ideas Paimon ends up getting a bit shafted due to me not really knowing what to do with her because outside of being the travelers voice she doesn’t do all that much.)

Most of the Inazuma main story (if I want to I can be willfully ignorant and enjoy the story but after reading gold-rhine’s Inazuma re-write I can never go back)

The traveler being a jerk to Furina at the beginning of her story quest. (In character for Paimon but the traveler I think would at least be a little more understanding and would try to get Paimon to stop guilt tripping her)

Finally, the traveler fails to get Charlotte any scoops from the fortress of meropide. (I know why but they did waste a bunch of her money and that feels mean)

#genshin impact #extra: 90% of fandom jokes #the aren’t funny and most end up as wild mischaracterozations #tbh most of what I’m annoyed with in Genshin either has to do with gameplay or fandom #I’m pretty good at enjoying stories regardless of quality #one of my favorite games is Fire Emblem Fates #a lot of my Kaeya beef comes from Diluc being my first fave #I read a bunch of good fics that treat the whole thing with nuance and how neither of them were in the right and they both screwed up #and now like 90% is all about Kaeya #or shipping #I’m neutral to most ships #I got Stockholm syndromed into like Neuvilette x Wriothesley #I have at one point activly seeked out Childe x Zhongli #I’m fine with a bunch of popular ones (JeanLisa Eulamber etc) #but so much of Genshin fandom is shipping and because of that it’s so hard to find fics of characters I like without it #that’s why I got stockholmed into liking Neuvilette x Wriothesley #because so many interesting fic premises had it in there it was like or be unable to read those fics #plus I like aro/ace Diluc and I actively headcanon a lot of characters to be somewhere on the aro and or ace spectrum #this is less of a thing I’m ignoring and more of a this makes no sense thing but #in the long ass multi update fontain side quest there is a girl who grew up in the fortress of meropide #and it seems ooc for Wriothesley not either have not noticed her existence or to have done nothing about it #but I can’t ignore it because the quest wouldn’t make sense without her #so for me he knows and is trying to do something about it but can’t get her out for whatever reason #idk something about her not existing on Fontaines people records of something #the least he could do is ask some of the guards to look after her and keep her safe and happy #that’s my explanation
