#so many talented writers!

[marthawrites]

Once again, because I'm a goblin, I'm sitting on a huge pile of bookmarked fics to be read like they're a treasure pile (because they probably are). I promise I will read and scream about them!

#so many fics! #so many talented writers! #fandom love #MWAH

[pastawayallday]

I couldn’t resist, I had to draw something from Firefight by @remedyturtles . I’m obsessed, I legit cry at every chapter.

#rottmnt #save rottmnt #save rise of the tmnt #donatello #my art #leonardo #firefight #fic fanart #ao3 fanfic #tw blood #sorry about the blood but this scene was so beautiful I had to #brotherly love #i hope i did it justice #save me firefight save me #this fandom has so many talented artists and writers

Felt a bit nostalgic watching RT shut down…Here are the og faves again for old times sake 💙

#rvb #agent washington #agent Carolina #lavernius tucker #michael j caboose #epsilon #my art rvb #ahhh a lot of feelings…of course I stepped away from rt as a company a long time ago #but RvB is special to me!! it was my first fandom experience ever #and the community here on tumblr specifically was so instrumental to me growing up #I really could not have asked for a better community of artists and writers to grow up in. I know it sounds like platitudes when I say #that everyone was super nice and talented but REALLY. People were so kind to me and somehow I became well known despite #my art and writing and me in general still being immature and hashtag cringe #I found my creative legs and #people would respond to my stuff with walls and walls of support in the tags and we would do exchanges and events every year #I made my first lyric comic and it’s still doing extremely well on YouTube even today!! my dad who passed away recently always loved it #and my favorite RvB writer came out of hibernation to write me a bunch of text wall asks about it #I’ve never had another fandom experience quite like RvB #I still keep in touch with many of my friends from that time period even though we’ve all moved on the other things #these guys will always always have a place in my heart #so long reds and blues….

i love people who write for underrated characters and fandoms. i love people who barely get 100 notes and keep posting. keep writing. keep doing what they love and not letting lack of interaction completely hinder their enjoyment on here. you’re strong. you’re valid. you’re literally the backbone of the writing community on here!!!!

#the amount of reader inserts i go and look up for random unpopular fandoms and finding fics???? that are amazing??? #but have barely any notes??? insane. horrible. #they’re always the best fics too #like some of yall are snobs on here and it shows #i love every single writer whether you get 2k notes or 90 #you’re literally all equally talented and loved and cherished by me #please keep writing for underrated fandoms ok #you’re making so many people happy #here laur goes again..

[flowercrowngods]

man some of y’all are really out here doing fandom events like #SteddieLoveMonth and writing fic every day just busting out that quality content for free and providing us with love and care and safety and spice and just a free load of emotions while life is genuinely crazy out there like fuck me some of y’all are really out here writing thousands of words and preserving a little humanity in your creations of love it’s so awe inspiring and i think more of y’all need to feel (and share!!) some of this insane gratitude and awe

#yes it is also valid to not write every day n shit but steddie love month and i see some of yall posting every single day??? #can we as a collective please appreciate that and go into our favourite writers comments or ask box and just tell them we see them??? #like i know there’s an over abundance of things to read now with so many talented writers but life not stopping for us to read them all but #can we please go give them some love? can we do that? writers need to be seen and appreciated 🤍 #steddie #steddielovemonth #be loud about your appreciation otherwise people won't know it's there!! 🫶

[minniiaa]

I like to think I’ve gotten decent at writing fanfics especially recently and I love my stories but then I go and read other people’s works and want to delete my ao3 account and catapult myself off a 6 story building

#there’s just so many talented people out there #and it’s a struggle to not compare yourself #actually maybe this post is just about life in general idk #PS this is MOSTLY satire #fanfic #fanfic writers #fanfiction #ao3 #ao3 fanfiction #ao3 writer

[cluescorner]

I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc

#damian wayne #damian al ghul #damian al ghul wayne #batman #batfamily #for all of the issues that come with having Steph as your fave having too much wild shit happening at once is never one of them #btw I quite like The Boy Wonder Issue 1. wow shocker an artist and writer who I have liked everything they've ever done #has once again written something that I am enjoying with art that makes me want to be part of its world. #it's almost like Juni Ba is really freaking talented or something #like I have some problems with it but it seems like many of those are part of the point. Damian is learning that his siblings are more #three-dimensional than he realized and that is part of this 'coming of age' story merged with fairytale #so I can't be mad at the oversimplistic defining of Dick and Jason and Tim until the conclusion of the series. that might be the point. #I hope that the series will address Steph as a Robin but if not then frankly it's not an issue unique to this series. #I'll be annoyed and disappointed but ultimately roll with it like I am with Babsgirl being here. There's too much good stuff here to get #hung up on shit that seems to be almost an editorial mandate at this point. at least that's where I'm at. #I am also very sorry that Chip Zdarsky is massacring your boy. he has 'X (Tim for him) is the best Robin so everyone else must suck' diseas #where a writer really likes one specific Robin and in trying to uplift them demeans all of the other Robins. instead of like...just writing #for that one character only or alternatively not demeaning the other characters in order to make his blorbo look good #it's wild because I actually think his writing for Tim is pretty solid. but he's not writing a Tim series. he's writing a Batman series. #and if you are going to write a Batman series and include other Batfamily members you need to actually write them well. #instead of assigning them like 2 personality traits while Tim gets to be a whole character #I accept that behavior in fanfic where I have lesser standards because it's fucking free. not a comic run that wants me to pay #tens of dollars in order to understand what the fuck is going on. he's been going for a while now it's gotta be a lot of money. #I can buy Steelworks with that money. I can see John Henry and Natasha Irons in a trade. Fuck you Chip. #it's why it takes such a special person to write a good ensemble story/a good Batfamily story. you have to be good at writing a LOT #of different characters. which I don't think most people are. I sure as hell am not. I can write maybe 3 at a time confidently well. #and you also have to give all of them at least SOME love or else people will be upset that you aren't focusing on their fave #and also the writing as a whole will suffer. Chip Zdarsky is a pretty good Tim writer. I'd maybe read a Tim solo written by him. #I would not read a story focusing on multiple characters that I like written by Chip Zdarsky. because every character who isn't Tim #is at least a bit weak/inconsistent/out of character INCLUDING FUCKING BATMAN. THE NO. 1 GUY MOST ARE HERE FOR

In Praise of Prose.

Just a quick appreciation post for all the talented prose writers in the FFXIV Tumblr Community.

Writing prose is hard work, like seriously hard work. Poetry is a walk in the park by comparison - just find a word that sounds vaguely like another couple of words and you're done (or if you're more serious-minded, write a few lines saying why things are a bit like other things, then go and put the kettle on).

I'm very grateful for the support and encouragement I've received from various Tumblr mutuals to try writing more prose, but blimey it's tough to do at all, let alone well.

So thank you to all the highly talented prose writers out there! I am in awe of your creativity and skill. Please keep on writing!

If you're looking for a (by no means exhaustive) list of some excellent FFXIV prose writers then check below the cut.

every byler creator who has ever felt unappreciated or has never seen their work on a rec list or has stayed awake for hours working on something for it to get no interaction or has had their work passed up in favor of the big fandom favorites or has never been taken a chance on or has ever come last in a poll they didn’t ask to be on or has felt self conscious about posting or about calling themselves a creator if what they’re posting is not a magnum opus or has created something for themselves and still hoped deep down that people would love it: get behind me. i’ll protect u

#i’m five foot three and terrified of confrontation but i’ll go down swinging #andi would like me to add that she and i are standing on top of each other in a trench coat fighting for u all #thea is also wearing a trench coat but it’s just her and tutter in there #u all better fear thea’s fully developed frontal lobe and streamlined leadership experience (her words) #but seriously guys like #maybe i’m taking fandom too seriously or whatever but i know how scary it can be to put urself out there #especially in fandom spaces where the whole point is u want to enjoy urself and be accepted and not be judged #i’d be lying if i said that luck and timing wasn’t a huge part of why ppl enjoy my fics #and i’m flattered that my name shows up in rec lists a lot but. there are so so so many talented writers that go unnoticed when ppl fixate #on the same 5-6 names #and i know bc i’ve been them for other fandoms! #especially in this community there is such a big issue with putting big creators up on a pedestal #expecting them to be perfect and to keep churning out high quality stuff for free on demand #twt is something else too . like i’m not even talking abt that rn #and people always saying stuff like #‘atp i refuse to read fics unless they’re by _ or _ or _’ #just know that even if u are not one of these names u are so so valued and appreciated #get behind me fr #ok Bye <3333333 #🫂 #byler #/astro posts

[cyancherub]

whats crazy to me is ppl saying all x reader is badly written when i've read several x reader fics that blow published books out of the water. like idk what ur reading man ... but to generalize like that is fucking wild

#talky cherub #there r so many talented writers in the xreader community u just have an ugly attitude LKFDS #seems like a miserable existence to be real with u

[meet-you-at-the-north-star]

So what if um. hypothetically. I had a bunch of extremely self-indulgent HBO war related x reader fanfics written. like what am I gonna do with those

#I’ve never shared fanfics of social media so I’m extremely self conscious about the idea 🙈 #also self conscious about the self indulgence #there are so many talented writers in this fandom and idk if that’s good enough #helpp #band of brothers #the pacific #hbo war #fanfic

You know the drill 👉 A Dream of Dragons by @arialerendeair

I'm too tired to explain myself 😂. Briefly put, the Mark is a fusion between Death's and Dream's sigils (I tried more komplex ideas but eventually circle back to the simplest one). And I think it fits that Hob would gain a mark based on the Ankh symbol after gaining immortality 😆.

#dreamling #dragon!Hob au #hob gadling #i planned to post just the sketch of the mark but after finishing it i created a new canvas on a whim because i had some time to spare #and it went downhill from there x'D #i don't know what happened #bye I'm gonna pass out #tired ramblings #i love fanfic writers. there's so many talented people! #mayhem art

[taegularities]

my brother told me about a writing competition thing where i live :') meaning i can submit an original work until the end of august and the winner gets a ton of money + feedback by top notch people + the book will be published at a very popular book store around here. and i… :') kinda wanna partake :')

#don't know if i shouldddd bc #there are so many talented writers i do not think i could win #or make it into the top 3… but the temptation is ughhhhhhhhh :') #this could be a big thing tho idk idk

She’s been holding tight to that feeling, to him, even as everything seems to be changing around her. As everything familiar fades into the background under the weight of what’s happened to them, he’s been her guiding light, her lighthouse in the storm, unfaltering and true. the light guiding you home by @bobsfic
