Missing Black Sails? Dealing with brain rot? Need some fanfic therapy? I gotchu! Every month, I fully narrate a story and then chat with the author about their story, their process, and the show. Listen while you work! open.spotify.com/show/5aEcqN…

After two years, I’ve finally figured out how to add images to my fic! I’m old, okay? Thank you to @Tiofrean and @keivnii for your stunning REAL art pieces! archiveofourown.org/works/58…

As kindly as possible, I’m asking you to shut the fuck up and allow the people writing for free to use italics whenever they want. The back button is also free.
I am advising fic writers as kindly as possible to step away from the italics

Captain Flint and Miranda Barlow in Black Sails.
What’s a sex scene that was genuinely essential to the story, revealing something about the characters or changing the course of the plot, rather than just being there for the sake of it?

GOD! Felt! I spend so much time on it, had a podcast promoting other writers’ work, and now have maybe a half dozen active readers for my own work. And that’s my childhood trauma, friends! My dear friend and I had this exact conversation about validation on our work.
how do people even promo their fics.... every time i mention mine on here i feel like this

I’ve never seen it put so perfectly, but yes. This.
Replying to @oldscratchhere
“jesus. you sound exactly like him” tfw you’re in love with madi because you’re in love with flint and you’re in love with flint because you’re in love with madi and now you’re the right-hand man of two different allegorical-ish monarchs both of whom you’re in love with

Sometimes, I get discouraged because I write so slowly, and then I look at the first four chapters of Pipe Dreams printed out and I’m like…oh…I did that!

The same goes for AI editing tools. You’re data-mining your own work. Please, don’t be fucking stupid.
omg guys idk who will read this but please don’t feed yalls fics to those free ai detectors 🙏🙏😭😭 they themselves are ai and may most likely steal your human written work and feed it to their databases to improve their ai models 😭😭

PREACH!
Fanfic should never be shat out by AI, fanfic should be written by a human being with something wrong with them
