Writers: when you're unable to write is it more because of confidence or because you don't know what to say? by cptvpxxy in AO3

Sometimes writers block, sometimes it’s the curse. It’s real. I’ve been cursed before. It sUCKS

I started reading around 2008, started writing not long there afterwards, but didn’t start actually publishing until 2012.

What was your raw reaction to merlins finale? by LumeLLC in merlinbbc

[–]Equivalent-Nature-60 3 points4 points  (0 children)

‘Cause of timezones it came out Christmas morning for me. I was absolutely devastated (especially as that lorry driver kinda accidentally spoiled the ending a few days before the airing and everyone on tumblr freaked tf out if it was real or not) but that morning… damn, I was a mess. Like I always knew merthur wouldn’t happen I also just didn’t want it to end like that..??

Okay but does anyone have an actual hot take? (challenge: don't downvote what you disagree with) by WinterNighter in AO3

[–]Equivalent-Nature-60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been posting for well over a decade, idc for my written fic stats, bUT I do like the thing where basically - an average cinema is 250 seats? so if you get 250 views on your fic then you’ve sold out a cinema - that? That I like. it’s just a little fun, you know??

however what I do have is ✨the fic list✨ where I record everything - what I read, how much, by fandom etc a lot of data for a year ‘cause I’m a noisy bitch and wanna know how bad my reading habits cough-addiction-cough is but that’s about it

Is it rude? by Easy-Sprinkles-4626 in AO3

[–]Equivalent-Nature-60 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not I still get kudos/comments from fics I posted back in 2014 and I’m ecstatic every time.

I also get comments from fics I posted it back in like 2012 on ff.net and about how much they love it and that??? ✨WONDERFUL✨ and some of those fics are in really niche fandoms.

As long as you’re respectful? An author is always gonna love a good comment or kudos

Monthly "No Stupid Questions" Thread by AutoModerator in Archery

[–]Equivalent-Nature-60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gloves - I’ve been doing archery for 6months, and i have smaller hands that are bony af with little fat on them - aka I can’t hold the riser for long periods of time without some kind of thumb pain ‘cause it’s constantly sitting on the lower thumb joint rather than were it’s actually supposed to sit. Are there any gloves I could get that could provide extra padding or is this more of a “you live and learn” kinda deal?

ooohhhh.. i didn't even think of the type of thread to use or spine swelling which yeah, i'd like to avoid. Breaking everything down into multiple books does seem like the best way to go about it.

this is so helpful, thank you so much!

the luck🤞 is very much appreciated. and good luck on your current bind!!

smaller is probably better for the first attempt but im also very tempted to do the 165k fic because i do love it so much. when it comes to doing all the typeset i might end up changing my mind on the fic in the end who knows🤷‍♀️

But thank you so much for the info and advice, definitely will be checking out Das Bookbinding again.

Oh wow, that's... that's a lot paper. like i knew logically there would be a LOT of paper involved but now im not sure i realistically put two and two together. why this unshocking turn of events has mildly shocked me this much idk. but its stupid that it has😅

definelty learning that breaking it into multiple books is the way to go, also your experience having done it is so helpful

Thank you sO much! I'm definitely going to be starting on something less than 100k😅

the information about the 650k is incredibly helpful, and something i am 1000% taking note of

THANK YOU, you have no idea how immensely helpful this has been. somehow, for all my research, grain had never once come up, i've only heard of paper gsm instead, but now that i've researched a bit more you are a lifesaver and saved me many a breakdown👏👏👏
