PSA:

Do yourself a favor and read Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. Like, now. Seriously. It has: 

SERIOUSLY READ THIS BOOK. IT’S AMAZING!!!

Can we just take a moment and appreciate this website?

this is a post of appreciation to all fanfic writers whose stories have helped get me through some shitty times. love you, guys. 

how do I find a fic that’s exactly like the one I’ve just read but also different

^^^reasons why writers shouldn’t be worried about using the same tropes/concept/plot that’s been done before

Mind blown

me: *reads 55 fanfics with the same pairing and the same au* also me: another one? pls??

This makes me warm

TFW you read a bunch of fanfiction and start to forget actual canon

trying to write a comment on an awesome fic is really hard

I hate people who call me. I don’t have a phone so you can reach me, I have a phone so I can read fanfic on the bus.

#in all seriousness this post scalped me

Ao3:

Me at 3am:

me: ugh ew i hate clichés

fanfic: *person a to person b before they kiss* i've wanted to do this for so long

me, crying: THEY'VE WANTED TO DO THIS FOR SO LONG

Rejoice, “let’s fake a relationship for Christmas” fanfic season is upon us.

Don’t forget “snowed in and have to share a bed” season.

Also there is a blizzard and only ONE BED at the inn

and of course the heat isn’t working. whatever will they do for warmth

First kiss under the mistletoe!!!

Never forget that other blizzered that left them stranded in the car overnight.

“you were out in the cold too long and now I have to nurse you by the fire”

:)

love me some enemies to friends to lovers trope

I know fanfiction is like this big joke and everything, but man, have I read some fics that have completely knocked the wind out of me. New York Times Best Sellers could NEVER.
