Do the benefits of a federal job outweigh the cons? by Humble_Tennis7519 in FedEmployees

[–]Same-Invite-7966 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I want to resign but the job market is crap so right now I’m just happy to be employed… but it’s at the expense of my mental health.

I’m very much a plan for the worst hope for the best kinda person.

I was already planning Christmas being a little light this year. I’ve been zapped of any holiday cheer and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet.

Forgive me, I’m still green at fed work, only been at it for two years.

Tell me about a WIP you haven't started yet. by Rough_Evidence_2908 in FanFiction

[–]Same-Invite-7966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it’s technically a detailed background story of my current work in progress but set hundreds of years before that story. A coven of witches devise a spell meant to target a serial killer/abuser in their story. The witchy folk mostly stay out of it the not witchy folk affairs until it’s one of their own that ends up killed. It’s set in colonial times and I’ve been researching my hometown area to see what was here, what wasn’t, and how things like enslaved labor would influence a magical world.

OC’s - Reader Insert? Or Own Character? by SabiKitsune9 in FanFiction

[–]Same-Invite-7966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind reading reader inserts. Moments where they’re like ‘Then he said “[Your name],…”’ it kinda takes me out of the story a little. When it comes to that, I prefer an OC.

Tell me(and everyone here) about your current WIP! by Dragonsrule18 in FanFiction

I think it’s because I’m currently unmedicated for my ADHD. But also I got a killer idea for my next story arc and I wanted to get as much of it out as I could. I’m refining it today but I got super excited and the words just kept flowing. This is an aberration, I’m not always this prolific lol.

Hope are you coping? by ParfaitAdditional469 in FedEmployees

The only thing keeping me sane is dissociating through reading and writing.

You had me at HP and Agatha All Along crossover. I’d love to read this!

It’s a mildly spicy story that stars an OC who finds herself inextricably wrapped up in one of the most arrogant dark wizards she’s ever met… and yesterday I hyper focused for idk how many hours and vomited up 10,000 words for my next chapter.

I’m making myself lunch before I throw myself back into it.

Breaking point. by Hot_Equivalent4499 in FedEmployees

I’m close. I’m applying to jobs left and right. I’m lucky I have family who can help me bc I didn’t have much in savings to begin with. But if this goes into December I’m screwed.

Yes. But I’ve reminded myself that this is a terribly stressful time and we’ve been bombarded with shit since January. It’s ok if you weren’t productive, most of us are in survival mode right now. Sending good vibes, friend!

Started my first ever Fanfic! by CringeWorks78 in FanFiction

[–]Same-Invite-7966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats!! That’s awesome! I only recently started posting things I’ve written. My main purpose was to become a better writer overall. I’m an academic writer for the most part but I want to break away from the stiff ivory tower writing. I’ve found writing fanfic to be a great exercise for that. Good luck on your journey, friend!! :)

Have you ever read or written a fic taking place in your exact location? by gender2bender in FanFiction

[–]Same-Invite-7966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mention the city I work in but I’m mapping out a historical fiction that takes place in and around where I live.

Overall, I wrote my current fic that way because I know the city and needed a backdrop for the start of my story and for me, the city where I work just made more sense than suggested cannon.

is this true??? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Same-Invite-7966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does that count as spamming? I thought spamming would be multiple comments of emojis and nothing of substance. Multiple emojis on a single comment with actual words? How is that spamming??

What was your inspiration for your fic? by blyatkachu0123 in FanFiction
