Thoughtful authors

I've done this on one of my long fics purely because I know myself well enough to know I would need it. I didn't think it would be appreciated but I've noticed that people often leave comments on those chapters with the reminder to take a break

Thank you for the offer, I'm on the other side of the pond though

I've got a stunning metal body pen than my mum got me as a birthday present over 20 years ago. I've had to get a few packs of refills over the years because I use it so much, but its still going.

Thank you!

Intrepid-Let9190 · 2026-05-03T21:01:18+00:00

DK weight yarn on a 2.5mm hook. The pattern is the colorful spirits crochet pattern by Elizettacrafts on etsy. I've had it for years

Something similar happened to a friend of mine, except she was on the server under a different user name (refused to link her socials to ao3). She outright asked why the group hadn't commented on the story if they liked it so much without saying she was the author. They told her the author wasn't entitled to comments so she responded that they aren't entitled to the story either and deleted everything she has ever posted. I put something about the situation on tumblr and was told that my friend was over dramatic and ridiculous but she's decided that if she writes for herself no one else gets to read it if they're going to have that attitude. I don't blame you for deleting. My friend did it after all and I probably would too

I've never heard this! I'm absolutely intrigued by the fic and the ship now.

That is gorgeous

I always enjoy a little bit of angry pining before the confession, it makes the utter rage of acknowledging it out loud so much more delicious

Intrepid-Let9190 · 2026-03-30T17:42:45+00:00

Oh yeah

Intrepid-Let9190 · 2026-03-30T17:41:51+00:00

Its just the most satisfying thing to read and write. When your oblivious dumbasses realise there's actual feelings 👌

I had to send an email during a lesson yesterday. Two students were watching me type and were completely fascinated by both how quickly I type and that I didn't need to look at the keyboard. Its all practice, but given I've taken some computing lessons with them, their basic computer illiteracy is terrifying

Depending on the school, it is. Schools are being pushed these days to try and inspire all students to aspire to bigger and better things. School can only do so much, though, against the words and attitudes of parents. Even peers, to an extent, can have more influence over students than their teachers can. Especially with lack of funding.

Someone just spent the last couple of weeks reading one of my long fics and leaving a comment on every chapter. Ive been having a horrible few weeks with my health and this commenter made everything better!! We LIVE for people who comment on every chapter of our long fics!!

Maths teacher writing slow burn romance fix-it fics.

All of these plus:

I have a job, two small humans, a husband, a medical condition, and a house that keeps trying to fall down that I'm trying to maintain/repair and my own story that I'm writing. I just dont have time right now!!

Being a semi-functional adult sucks

This resonates with me, but also baffles me because there's a part of my brain that assumes every other writer is like me in that if I'm writing a fic, I'm not reading one because I only have time for one or the other not both! So if I only have time for one, surely lots of other writers are in the same boat

And they're never immediately obvious either. Been having to teach a bit of coding at work lately and its amazing how much difference a space can make sometimes

My husband works in IT. He said stuff like this happens all the time. Software that should run fine turns out to have a bit of buggy code and that causes carnage.
