some of y’all with printed copies of fanfiction are going to die someday and your books will end up at the secondhand book shop and someone is just going to innocently pick up blorbo/shitto enemies to lovers and when i think of it this way let’s keep printing fanfiction
how i want my days to look like
Had a dream this morning that Archive of our Own had a Random button which would simply take you to a random fanfic, like Wikipedia has. (AO3 does not appear to really have this, I checked and couldn't find one, but I kinda wish they did.) Someone had started a game where whatever fic you got, that was your new fandom, which is very fun! I would love this meme in real life.
The problem came in where so many people used the button that it broke and just started sending everyone to Stealing Harry, and like...I have fond memories of Stealing Harry but it's not my best work and nobody should be assigned to be a Harry Potter fan in this day and age.
So I decide to go off and find Astolat and demand she fix this but when I finally did (there was a whole quest) she turned to me like the baddie in a horror flick and said, "But that's the most random story there is" in a dark voice and I was terrified and woke up.
In the cold light of day I know there are more random stories by me on the archive, let alone by others, but I'm not going to try to get back there to argue my case. Pretty sure whatever I spoke to was actually the demon specifically assigned to plague fandom and not Astolat at all.
I'd say "get thee behind me, demon" but I know just how many porny fics on AO3 begin with that premise. (I've written some.) Begone foul spirit, and take your Satanic Panic with you!
are u mad at me do u hate me do u think i'm annoying are u tired of me am i boring do u still like me am i talking too much are you gonna leave me are u mad at me do u hate me
legitimately my first feminist awakening as a ten year old child was realizing that girls were expected to respect “boy stuff” but boys were never expected to respect “girl stuff”
"This cannot be messed around with, Pandora, it is not a toy chéri” her mother says in her smooth as silk voice, gently stroking circles into her cheek with her thumb, the long nail at the end of it poking her in the ear every now and then. Pandora's legs are tucked into her chest, covered by her nightgown. Her hair keeps falling in front of her eyes but it isn’t like she can see what is really here right now. Pandora is rocking backwards and forwards, trying not to crumble.
Don’t Panic is a command easier said than done, Pandora can feel the calm touch of her mother, the soothing voice to go along with it. But no matter how much she talks she cannot stop seeing the way in which her mother will die.
OR ; There is a curse running through the Rosier family, having been dormant for decades Pandora finds herself afflicted with the ability to see the death of whoever touches her.

We will be sharing a masterlist of edits at the end of the fest, but for now edits can be found in the TikTok collection here
Only one more day to go after this! We hope you're loving everything that's been released so far 💞
that march 1st deadline seemed so reasonable
that was then
FEMININOMENON !!!
HEY! HI! things are rough out here right now, and i think in times of unrest like this, when we're not quite sure what the next day will hold or where our place in the wider world is, community is more important than ever. and i think we're all in agreement when i say fandom can be such a lovely resting spot from all of it so, hey. hi. you have a place here!
this fest is dedicated to female and genderqueer stories, art and edits, aiming to represent those who are feeling unsteady right now, and give us all a bit of space to breathe, be seen, and simply Be.
THE BASICS:
Signups are open here from today (November 11th) until December 13th.
Fanfictions, edits, and fanart are all accepted as submissions
Two servers: 18+ and 16-17 will be placed in separate servers (nothing else is different! just keeping it as safe and comfy as possible <3)
Fics: told from pov of female/gq character(s)
Any era/pairings/au allowed (or no pairings! you pretty much have free reign!)
No minimum of maximum WC for fics: oneshots or first chapter of a multi-chapter fic.
You can do as many submission across as many of the three categories as you want.
EXEMPTIONS: non-con and family pairings are excluded from this fest.
DEADLINE: working deadline of March 1st for submissions - flexible! (taking into account holidays, Jan 20th and all the emotions surrounding that <3)
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE !!!
hi!
I wrote a fic for @hpfemininomenonfest and it's been released!
The fic focuses on the Black sisters and answers why Bella attacked Frank and Alice Longbottom.
What if Bella attacked Frank and Alice, not because she wanted to bring Voldemort back, but because Narcissa finally felt safe enough to love Alice again?
“You will have always been a sister, even if you leave, even if you hate them, even if you don’t.”
🖤🖤🖤
Huge thanks to @middleagedenragedmama for doing a first fic with me - I can't believe we did it! (read her fic!)
and to @badhairred for supporting us both along the way 🖤 (and their fic too!)
Actually check out the whole collection because there are some amazing works there!
and thanks to all the mods for making it happen! @messrsrarchives @badhairred @radla @middleagedenragedmama @heartsoncover @lemonlans @starprongs
take a quick break to enjoy this, so worth the time
I am SO, SO EXCITED to share my SVA thesis film at long last!!!!! This is what I spent most of the past year working on. It’s the biggest thing I’ve ever made, and I still couldn’t have done it without the help and support of a bunch of really awesome people. I strongly recommend watching it in HD and I hope you like it a lot! :)
