Write whatever the fuck you want. Literally whatever the hell you like. Write that cliche. Write that overdone trope. Write that asshole character. Play into a stereotype. It’s your goddamn creation. You can’t make anyone like it but they sure as hell can’t stop you.
They’re FINALLY here 😃. I FINALLY got my copies and I’m so excited and can’t wait to start reading them 😃.
I’m sure they’re amazing and I’m a 100% sure that I wouldn’t be able to put them down before I finish them because you’re an amazing and super talented writer and I’m so proud of you and what you’ve achieved so far👍🏻. @cassmichaels@avenger-nerd-mom
You are AMAZING! I’m sitting in here in complete AWE just thinking about the fact that my novels are sitting on your table in Egypt. That’s just crazy unreal to me! That you took the extra step, not just to download the stories, but to actually by print copies… I’m floored. I love this more than I can even express…
I don’t think there’s an applause gif big enough to properly convey my reaction to this.
Also, I love that if anyone tries to say that you’re just “another hack fic writer with no ideas of her own who is jealous of the “real” writers out there”, they could quite literally be crushed under your catalog of award-winning original writing as a response. They can’t dismiss your stance on this topic the way they do to so many unpublished / fanfic writers because you’ve already met all of the standards that they insist someone has before they’ll accept their opinion as worth listening to.
Right?
“Well, fanfic authors never win awards, so–” “WOULD YOU LIKE TO HOLD MY HUGO.” “That’s basically, it’s, you know, the People’s Choice, so–” “LOOK AT MY NEBULA.” “That’s a science fiction award, it doesn’t really–” “LOOK I’VE WON THE ALEX.” “…” “IT’S GIVEN BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO GIVE THE NEWBURY.” “…” “I’M THE FIRST PERSON TO WIN IT TWICE IN A ROW.” “…well you wrote porn.” “GOSH I SURE DID.”
More attention to this, please. 🙂 From yet another of the I Wrote Fanfic First And I Decline To Feel Shame About It brigade.
(And I also wrote for My Little Pony, which means I may have inadvertently contributed something to Seanan’s state of being. [Which I will file under the “Quiet Unholy Glee” heading.])
Not necessarily ‘break a leg’ more of a keep your cool if when I make a mistake, @dzkat2
@dreamslikepaperlanterns , I made a few adjustments to this cute pattern (and if I ever figure out the hair situation, I just might make a kitty-Bucky in the future).
I’m taking a night break before tackling the legs and boots. The hair will have to wait for payday. I’ll need yarn or more brown floss. I don’t exactly know how I’m going to make the hair (or beard)!
