For Writers:

sunken-standard:

Reblog if it’s okay for your followers
to leave you an ask telling you what the one thing is they remember
you for as a writer.  Is it a scene or a detail or a specific line?
Is it something like style or characterization?  Is it that one weird
kink they never thought they’d be into, but oh my god wow
self-discovery time?

the two methods of fic writing:

damijon-supersons:

soundofez:

  1. don’t think don’t breathe don’t question where the inspiration came from just wriTE LIKE THE WIND BEFORE IT LEAVES
  2. meticulously plan the plot out until you actually have to write the story and then struggle and suffer

bonus method: no inspiration OR plot just an idea that you want to keep working on but you just stare at the screen blankly with tears running slowly down your face

Number 2 is me every time

I am all of these. Sometimes in the same day

Some of the comments on AO3 on my most recent fic

 have disappeared. Any idea what’s up with that? Two sweet comments I had responded to don’t exist anymore. 😦

Update: somehow AO3 posted it twice and I don’t have the heart to fix it. there are comments and bookmarks on both versions. I feel dumb for not catching it immediately.

Hey, Alex! I’m looking for a fic, it’s BDSM johnlock, John has been a dom in past but now is kinda reluctant to go back to that lifestyle until he recognizes that Sherlock is a sub and needs pain to cope with life (I think he asks John at some point to be his dom). It’s something from your recs that I bookmarked but now cannot find it :(

Yup, beats the stuffing out of me, nonny. Ha. Perhaps some clever person has read this recently and has a good idea? Anyone???

Was it by any chance an asexual fic? It kinda sounds like my fic As You Are

If not, though, I want to read whatever it is.
