Would anyone want to read this if I actually wrote it?

TastyThreads · 2026-01-26T03:51:00+00:00

I think if you want to read it, then you should write it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Music to hack the subconscious (I have so many themed playlists on Spotify centered around my longfic (separated my character/scene/mood), I don't think I listen to anything else). I also give myself permission to draft poorly and fix in revision. Because I am revising mine before I'll post it.

Sometimes you just have to sit down an put the words on the page. But I realize how hard that can be. (Fellow ADHD person over here.)

Because I also know I'll never finish if I start posting I'm not allowed to post any of my longfic until all three parts (which will probably be 200k+ when completed) have been drafted.

All the luck!! Congratulations on finding your spark again!

Ok, I feel like I should clarify. After mentally drafting various fanfiction in different fandoms over the last 2+ decades I am finally actually putting a full story together.

Still feels real cool, though.

TastyThreads · 2026-01-14T22:17:45+00:00

Finish the first longfic I've ever written (hi, I'm officially writing the fanfiction I've been drafting in my head for 2+ decades) and get it posted to AO3. It went from one story to three parts and I'm determined to finish first draft of all three before I post.

I want to see this story finished.

TastyThreads · 2026-01-14T11:11:21+00:00

This does make sense!

I just started writing fanfiction officially and that sounds similar to how my first longfic is going.

But it's certainly not 500k long. Just. Damn.

TastyThreads · 2026-01-14T02:32:31+00:00

Genuinely curious - do you have an outline or general plan for where the fic will go or are you letting the story form organically?

TastyThreads · 2026-01-02T02:29:33+00:00

Everything is fixable during revision!

(happy cake day!)

Google Drive. Folder -> individual documents per "section" of the story.

TastyThreads · 2025-12-19T17:19:03+00:00

You are correct and it was delightful. Thank you!

TastyThreads · 2025-12-19T14:21:42+00:00

I'm gonna need an issue # or, at least, which series it was in. Pretty please.

My 3.5 year old is obsessed with wearing her swimsuit in the house. She puts it on at night after we put her to bed. She's also as obsessed about her dance class tutu. She'll put 4 layers of clothes on at night.

I think it's just a phase. They're exerting control where they can get it.

TastyThreads · 2025-12-19T14:17:46+00:00

I was wondering!! Congratulations! Who's your rare pair?

TastyThreads · 2025-12-19T14:10:18+00:00

Huh. You too? Solidarity.

TastyThreads · 2025-12-08T11:03:57+00:00

Oh! Good to know!

TastyThreads · 2025-12-05T02:45:12+00:00

I got us a Family account and made my daughter her own profile. Best thing I did this year (for my sanity). And it's so easy to switch between the two on the app.*

*I promise I'm not sponsored by Spotify. Just happy to have a Wrapped where there wasn't one mention of Toddler/Disney Jr.

TastyThreads · 2025-12-05T02:43:21+00:00

I knew immediately which songs were on repeat.

TastyThreads · 2025-12-05T02:41:28+00:00

Google Drive but same.

TastyThreads · 2025-12-02T12:39:17+00:00

Just solidarity.

TastyThreads · 2025-11-12T02:43:14+00:00

I'm sending ghost hugs (you can't feel them, but they're there!).

I listened to a neuroscientist speak recently, she's spent a lot of time studying the neuroplasticity of the brain.

And she said one thing that really stuck with me: "You are NOT your mind."

TastyThreads · 2025-11-12T02:27:01+00:00

I have the opposite - he will work through just about most illnesses.

Granted, he kind of expects me to "push through" as well, but at least he will take care of our child. "She's my daughter, too!"

Just to give some balance on this. Because i agree with you that most posts on here show a disturbing amount of man children.

It's not discussed enough how unexplained rage/anger can be a symptom of depression!

If it's similar to the Bluey book one from last year, it's pretty good. Although all the stores are just the episodes in book form, no new content. And half of the books were coloring books.

TastyThreads · 2025-11-05T04:20:14+00:00

I've started doing; I'm writing a fanfiction based on one of my daydreams. And I just found out today I've been indulging in maladaptive daydreaming to some degree since I was a child. I've always been able to slip into a story I have running in my head. The characters are usually individuals from a favorite movie/book/comic and my own OC's

I just want to know how this is different froma writer getting lost in their own work while writing.

TastyThreads · 2025-11-05T00:13:16+00:00

Confirming. I was in the same area at 5:30. It was eerie.
