Poll for writers and artists
Whether you write fanfic or original works or paint/draw, be it fan art or original work or whatever else - I have to know, because I have a feeling this is going to be very decisive:
Please reblog for sample size!
Follow-up poll
Not talking about obvious plagiarism here - genuinely just about fan art or fic or stuff inspired by things you made
#it is an honor to inspire somebody to write something else#it is a disgrace for my creativity and the creativity of the prompter to be killed by the plagiarism machine#<- prev tags are very good#i'd be okay with someone making work inspired by mine without asking first; but i'd want to at least know about it afterwards

me, march 5: i was just going to write a quick summary for how the bridgertons each portray their characters and how certain scenes go, but i went into soooo much detail with the closet scene (518 words)
me, march 6: oh wow, eloise and anthony are getting really involved talking about a scene that doesn't even happen onstage (655 words)
me, march 8-12: ah, now the nunnery scene is getting long and involved (2154 words)
me, march 16: haha, act 2 scene 2 is so long i had to split it into two chapters, but that's fine because it's an absurdly long scene in the play itself too (2470 words)
me for like a month: lots of writing about things that aren't this AU, but i *will* have benedict have Feelings and Opinions about the granvilles and their relationship dynamic for a couple hundred words
me, april 17: well i'm focusing on laertes, so i might as well combine his act four scenes, oh god, why can't i stop doing a line reading on every bit of dialogue, what happened to summarizing?? (2132 so far)
all these later sections are pointing and laughing at the ~super long~ closet scene now. it's still well-done, and i don't think i'll make it longer to match, but it's very funny to me how much my expectations for this project have shifted.
the total word count is a little over 12k, and everything i've written so far for act five is about 360 words, i really need to hurry up and write the damn duel so i can post this and be done with it.
update, april 22: the Agonies of Laertes are complete! It's now long enough to split back into two scenes (1619 + 1697 = 3316)
current total, just under 14k; graveyard scene is about halfway done

#i bookmark occasionally but most of the time i forget the feature exists#<- prev tags are me exactly. sometimes if i REALLY like a specific writer i'll go on a bookmarking rampage#also i clicked 'my bookmarks are between me and god' which i realize too late was probably intended for private bookmarks#but what *i* meant is that god is the only one who maybe sort of understands why i choose the fics i do or don't decide to save#if i'm meant to find them again i will at some point

last line challenge
Rules: In a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words. Or as many as you feel like.
i was tagged by both @glintglimmergleam and @avocado-moon so you get last lines from each of my WIPs!

Laertes finds himself hoping it’s a wrong number or someone trying to sell him something, but of course that was wishful thinking, so he faces his fate with an ironic smile. “Hey, Dad, what’s up?”
viscount's men
Benedict’s only been truly angry a couple times in his life [examples] and that’s what he taps into when Laertes scolds himself for being womanish enough to cry. His memory of rage becomes Laertes’s heartbreak: the speech of fire is not exactly a lie, but it’s not Claudius he’s angry with. If anything it’s himself, or maybe God.
(So far the only examples I could think of haven't happened yet in Bridgerton canon, so I'll have to make something up. Probably a time he saw someone bullying someone much smaller than themself, that's the sort of thing Benedict would despise)

#MY HEART BRO#also i love how Bridgerton started out as a thirst watch for Luke Thompson#and now you like it unironically like that’s actually so cool :3 tags from @cleverclove
This particular fic is still very much a vessel for me to talk about hamlet, and to thirst over luke thompson XD but yeah, i've been enjoying the show, even when it's objectively silly sometimes. also, you should definitely consider yourself tagged for the last line thing!
@glintglimmergleam every time i leave a comment on ao3 i use the floaty comment box add-on from tampermonkey so i can easily insert quotes and flail in real time, and when i'm done i read through everything to see if i can condense it before i hit 'post comment', and it always ends up like twice the length it felt like it was going to be. you've just got so much worth quoting!

i love how hermione has such a rule following aura that everyone ignores that she is the real rule breaker of the trio. harry sneaks out at night sometimes. hermione straight up kidnapped a whole woman and held her prisoner in an enchanted jar. even tom riddle didn't do that.
Albus Dumbledore: By the age of 11 Tom Riddle had stolen some things from other children in the brutal orphanage where he was despised, feared and accused of madness. He also did something sketchy in a cave though we're not sure of the details. Clearly already he was beyond saving and utterly-
Harry: Oh that's nothing. When Hermione was 11 she set a teacher on fire.
Like, Hermione isn't a rule follower, but she has much more respect for authority than Harry and Ron. Specifically academic authority. Like, throughout the books, Hermione is the one with the most respect for professors and the position of professor. She is the one who always says that if Dumbledore said something, then it must be true.
It's not really about following rules, but authority that she respects. When Hermione respects someone's authority, like Dumbledore, she'd follow them and their rules to the latter. When she doesn't, she'll allow Umbridge to be dragged away by the centaurs.
I think this aura of rule-following she has is the result of Harry and Ron just not really caring about who made the rule, they just care what the rule is. If it doesn't suit them, they won't follow it. I think Hermione decides whether a rule is worth it depending on who made it and if she respects that person.

Not every story that adapts or takes inspiration from a previous story is fanfiction. Thank you for coming to this post.
#prev tags basically sum it up ->#fanfiction is a very specific modern thing in a very specific context+#why do you feel so insecure about it that you need to expand its definition!#/prev#i get particularly annoyed when people call renaissance art fanfic because those are literally commissioned by The Establishment#to further a specific agenda that benefits whoever's already in power; and it *matters* that fanfic comes from the fans#fanfic

benedict's charm is mostly luke thompson, but he *is* really sweet and insightful when he's not acting like an entitled jerk, it was just weirdly inconsistent in a way the book version of anthony wasn't. he was most tolerable when he was still recovering from his sickness because he and sophie could meet each other on a more even playing field, but once he was active he kept coercing her to do what he wants (not for sex) without even realizing he was doing it. luke thompson would NEVER
putting this on main to ask an important follow up -- is ANTHONY not an asshole in the books? i know he's a rake, but that's not exactly the same.
i read daphne's book and 1 other julia quinn standalone more than 15 years ago (yikes...time flies) and was like i am good to stop here lmao
anyway props to luke thompson for making the most of his very small role in s1 & s2! we stan!
bearing in mind that i haven't read daphne's book and s1 is when he's at his worst, i would say that book anthony is mostly not an asshole. it does really help that i didn't read it until i'd finished s2 so i knew where his arc was headed. his prologue is all about his relationship with his father growing up, so a lot of his characterization is sort of filtered through that loss, and it makes him feel vulnerable and complex. obviously you can still be an asshole when bad things have happened to you, but for anthony he was able to pause and think about other people's feelings in relation to his own more than he does in the show.
i've also mentioned that edwina and kate are done a lot less dirty in the book, he's not stringing both of them along without realizing how unfair that is for both of them, and edwina is actively cheering for him and kate to hurry up and figure out they like each other, and has her own romance on the side.

i happened to acquire 'an offer from a gentleman' recently, and 1. benedict's got a cinderella plot, which is inherently lowkey queer, 2. the sentence "benedict was a bridgerton and while there was no family to which he'd rather belong, he sometimes wished he were considered a little less a bridgerton and a little more himself" 3. in his very first scene violet maneuvers him to dance with penelope (she asks him to dance with prudence, and he opts for pen instead, which is what she wanted lmao)
HAHAHA so glad you're reading it so I don't have to! I have heard very mixed things about that book, including some dubious sexual choices.
Is Benedict the Cinderella figure in this story? I thought it was Sophie. (Sophia?) If it's her, not sure how that's queer?
plot update from 130 pages into the book:
sophie is kicked out of the house when her stepmother figures out that she went to the bridgerton's masquerade, and there's a two year timeskip. it is now 1817 and she's working as a housemaid in wiltshire, and benedict happens to be invited to a party at the house where she works and gallantly rescues her before she's attacked by the host and two other men :/
benedict is just getting over a head cold and when they're caught in the rain as he's bringing her to stay at his country house, My Cottage, it develops into a full-blown fever, classic romance trope, they both say some embarrassing things that she hopes he won't remember in the morning, he lends her a pair of breeches to wear since all her clothes are wet, and while she's watching over him he's dreaming of his Mystery Lady In Silver and begs her to kiss him. she's also found a sketch of herself at the masquerade in his sketchbook
they have just been joined by Mr. and Mrs. Crabtree, no-nonsense caretakers of My Cottage, who are feeding and questioning them
