and i sound like an infant feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen a greater woman stays cool but i howl like a wolf at the moon and i look unstable gathered with a coven 'round a sorceress' table a greater woman has faith but even statues crumble if they're made to wait i'm so afraid i sealed my fate no sign of soulmates i'm just a paperweight in shades of greige spending my last coin so someone will tell me it'll be okay

Daylight;

y'all i'm rereading the lunar chronicles and honestly i forgot how straight up head-over-heels kai is for cinder. like this man has a dying/recently deceased father, is about to become leader of a country, managing a global pandemic and imminent war and he's STILL like "hmm i hope cinder agrees to go to the ball with me"

oh????

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

we really need to talk about the “and all the pieces fall right into place” to “‘cause it fit too right, puzzle pieces in the dead of night / should’ve known it was a matter of time” pipeline

if we’re mutuals we’re friends. sorry there’s nothing you can do about it i love you now

put in the tags the taylor swift song you relate to the most

Don’t Add Fanfiction To Your Goodreads Shelf

Hi folks, I know some of you like to use Goodreads to track all your reading and don’t want to distinguish between books and fanfiction.

I am, however, begging you not to do this. It is extremely jarring and disconcerting to be a fic author and find your works somewhere in the wild where you did not personally put them. Fics are not books, are not published in the same way as books, and exist in a precarious legal space.

Please don’t attempt to elide the separation that exists between fandom and the world of official publishing.

Well this is much nicer than how I said it 🤣

[ID: tweet from @westiectweets — “PSA: Don’t Fucking Add Fic to Goodreads What the Fuck”]

update to add:

if you are a fic author and you find your fic on Goodreads, you can get it removed!

Here’s how:

I hope this helps some of my fellow fic authors!

hey guys please reblog this version

I’ve seen multiple people reblogging the original post with tags saying how they have struggled to get their fics taken down off Goodreads & I want folks to know that it IS possible

Reminder to Kindle users:

There is a setting in Kindles to connect your library to your Goodreads account. If you put Fanfic on your Kindle, it will also get uploaded to Goodreads. Which means that a lot of stuff is added completely on accident, because people don’t know about the setting.

I noticed it when I got a brand new Kindle a few years ago, since it was part of the initial setup. If you’ve turned it on, not realizing it grabs your fics too, you can shut it off under My Account > Social Networks (the exact steps to get there may vary depending on your model, but you can google it).
