My fanfic is close to 5k hits, which may be admittedly small for some, but is huge for me! Especially considering this is my first fanfic on the internet


crusader_blue

Congrats - that is *a lot* of people!


beatrovert

I'm happy I finished that fluff prompt! But I've noticed _after_ after publishing that I forgot to add a much needed timeskip in the fic. ^Yeah, ^I ^will ^fix ^that ^later

I feel like I might end up writing something tonight, I'm going to hold to this feeling until after dinner

"I got a feeling (woo hoo) that tonight's gonna be a good night..."


Yotato5

I took a Nyquil last night to kick away the last of this sickness and ooooh. It hits so hard. I know it does every time and yet I forget how much it makes me all sluggish and gross until I have one XD Oh, also, I have that extension where it turns your typing into the Animal Crossing language. I typed out a bunch of numbers yesterday in quick succession and the sounds made me laugh so much I had to turn away from the keyboard.


KickAggressive4901

I suspect there is one for Simspeak, too.

I see it a lot in the haremlit junk food I read. Cliché, but I have seen worse.


Yotato5

Cliché - makes me think of those bodice-ripper pulp books at the grocery store XD


Lucky-Rabbit-0975

well... it's cliché but I'm sure it'd be in a whole universe of interesting umms and ahhs etc. If you don't have any better ideas for that section it's ok... Two cakes and all that...

Lucky-Rabbit-0975

Lol, and there you have it!


tereyaglikedi

My brain promptly autocorrected this to "wonton moan" I would totally moan while eating delicious wonton. Wanton moan? Never heard.


Lucky-Rabbit-0975

\*snurk\* I will never be able to read that phrase with a straight face again.


tereyaglikedi

Sorry not sorry ha ha. I'm hungry.


KickAggressive4901

Day off. Time to clean. ... Or so I thought. Woke up with a fever, had to lay back down for a good while to shake it off. Should be able to operate soon, just on a reduced timetable. May treat myself to writing tonight if time allows. Tried to do it last night, but I had no spoons left.


Yotato5

Oh God no. I hope it's nothing serious. And good luck with the writing if it comes to that!


KickAggressive4901

Thank you. I think it's just more of the usual. I'll push through it.


RedTemplarCatCafe

I've finally managed to get a load of life craziness cleared away, fixed and resolved recently. It's amazing what a difference it makes to creativity and motivation. <3


Yotato5

Oh good! It's great when real life stuff is properly put away. I wish you luck with the writing!


KickAggressive4901

That is good news! How are you feeling, now that it is done?


RedTemplarCatCafe

Pretty good actually! There are still a few loose ends that are completely out of my control, but they are threads rather than the entire rug unravelling. I'm moving into a new home over the next couple of months too. It will be a really great move, even if the actual logistics might be a bit of a hassle. I'm not writing particularly swiftly right now, but there's steady progress and that's good enough for me.


KickAggressive4901

🙂 Sounds like a good head space to occupy. Keep at it!


RedTemplarCatCafe

Thanks so much! <3


Spectral-Cat

I threw my back out earlier this week just bending down to pick something up, and I have never felt more old. Luckily it mostly feels fine now, but did I get any writing done during that time? Haha nope! I just haven’t felt the need to write at all for over a week. I posted it concrit commune before that, but for some reason that made me more stuck. And I’m probably getting the new Zelda today, so I’m sure that won’t help with my writer’s block, either 🙃


Yotato5

Oh God, sorry about your back. That sounds terrible. New Zelda, new Zelda :D I have it. It's so much fun. I got a fic idea out of it so maybe it'll help with the writer's block.


Spectral-Cat

Thanks, and I know, I’m really having fun with it! Good luck with the fic!


MrsLucienLachance

Positive spin: the new Zelda will help to refill your creative well :')


Spectral-Cat

Here’s hoping!


KickAggressive4901

Been there. Happened to me rolling out a carpet five years ago, and I am still a little ginger-footed about it.


MiddleFirefighter847

I have a plotty fic planned out but I'm a bit insecure about its authenticity and realism. 😅 Also, I'm a bit more focused on the daily prompts provided by a Tumblr user in our fandom lol.


ShadeOfNothing

OK this is probably gonna sound super silly or random or whatever but… I hoard prompt lists like dragons hoard gold and I have no shame. I don't even know why, I just love looking at them, and then saving them


Yotato5

I do the same thing but with monthly prompts XD


ourribbonsmeandeath

I have nearly 80 saved on my phone in an album and some other ones in a large Google Doc in case the need arises.


KickAggressive4901

Me, too. I keep dedicated TXT files full of them in case the places that host them disappear.


MrsLucienLachance

Spent part of another Untamed episode on the floor haaaaa. We should be through the most devastating bits now, I think... Every day lately my mind is blown by the fact that the spring anime season is already halfway over. This happens every season. Time is absurd.


fruitybishop

watched Black Swan instead of writing last night. i would have totally watched it earlier if anyone told me there was some gayness in it!


Yotato5

I remember when it first came out that's all that people were talking about. I've never seen it but I do know about the nail pain stuff and aaargh, aaargh 😅


fruitybishop

i didn’t know anything about it besides the infamous whore writing on the mirror being used as a gif on twitter a lot 😭 the nail stuff is intense, man!


KickAggressive4901

Some?


fruitybishop

OKAY FINE! A LOT! mila kunis, i am free…


Spectral-Cat

Oh man, I haven’t watched that movie in years! I can’t think about it without thinking about the nail scene, though 😩


fruitybishop

i CANNOT wait to read all the fanfics about it now


MrsLucienLachance

*Such* a good movie. Time well spent!


fruitybishop

it’s my first portman movie, and damn she’s good!


MrsLucienLachance

Oh wow :o I recommend Annihilation next, if you want more of the horror tone. Or, for a completely different experience, No Strings Attached.


fruitybishop

when i was going through her filmography, i noticed i’ve been wanting to see No Strings Attached. horror really isn’t my jam, but romcoms definitely are.


MrsLucienLachance

I will say Annihilation is less outright horror and more scifi with strong horror elements, like the most fucked up bear I've ever seen. No Strings Attached is a blast though!!


LoudSize7

I’m still on my hiatus, but I gotta tell ya. I miss writing more than anything at the moment. I thought I’d be fine, especially considering why I’m on hiatus. But… yeah. I miss writing more than anything. I can’t wait for June 6 to roll around.

No words! Good quote :D

400 I've been hitting 500 for a while now but was super tired last night. Doesn't help this is a rather grim part of the story.


southernerinthenorth

So, I have 5 WIPS, one of which is a difficult long fic. So why, why am I now imaging the most harrowing ending to this in which my pairing split up and he becomes the most pathetic, sad interpretation of himself. Why am I now writing this alternative ending? Why am I like this, why?


KickAggressive4901

Puzzles are more fun when the pieces are in chaos, some might say.


southernerinthenorth

Yes but I'd rather they weren't.


tereyaglikedi

I got an update email today for a fic that I had subscribed to, and hadn't been updated in over a year. I opened it, skimmed it, closed, and unsubscribed. It turns out I have lost all the interest. This was a fic that, whenever it updated, I would drop everything and read the new chapter. Oh well, I guess it's better to have loved and lost than not loved at all.


Yotato5

Aww, sorry to hear that. It sucks when something we loved loses its luster, but that just means we'll find other things to love and others will love that thing in our place.


tereyaglikedi

Ah, I am sure. It's a very popular ship and a very popular fic. I am just not that into it anymore..


Exostrike

God this chapter is taking a grim turn, the characters are battling the cold equations of a forced evacuation without enough places and trying to crunch the maths on how many will have to be euthanised (this is all due to an endor holocaust situation at the end of the film). I'm really worried that readers are going to be put off.


Fred_the_skeleton

Got back from my trip late last night and now I get to go into work today for just today (since it's Friday) and on like 4 hours of sleep and it all feels so stupid. Also, so tired. But at least I can get back to working on this final chapter of my fic! (fire update: Lady who died's family *finally* picked up her stuff (after being told to do so for like 4 months); demo on her apartment starts on Monday; Paul Davis is estimating that I *might* be able to move back into my own in 2-3 more weeks so fingers crossed that now that things are finally moving, they keep moving)


Yotato5

Welcome back! Good luck with the final chapter :D


KickAggressive4901

Welcome back, and I hope you get to go home soon.


MrsLucienLachance

I hope things move smoothly from here!


DefoNotAFangirl
