Fanfics are a big part of what inspires me to draw fanart, but I have just seen a post saying that some writers might not like fanart based on their fics to be posted and honestly, I'd never considered that, so if you're a fanfic writer:
to me fanart and fanfic have always seemed more or less like a symbiotic relationship and I personally would love it if someone wrote a fic based on art that I drew, so I'd never really considered that someone might not like it
good things will happen π§Ώ
things that are meant to be will fall into place π§Ώ
THIS ONE FUCKING WORKS. REBLOG IT.
this for real fucking works
Apparently this one fuckin works, and who am I to argue with the collective agreement of tumblr. Will report back if good things happen.
Normalize leaving unhinged comments on ao3 fics you like. I'm tired of being the only one brave enough to write "I am chewing on this fic" in the comment section. Be weird. Authors will love you for it

Fanfic writers are like crows. If you give them treats (comments) they will bring you shiny things (fanfic)
Fandom creators are like cows, some people think you can just milk them for content, but actually they need enrichment (comments) and a nice pasture to graze on (kudos/likes) and they secretly also like cuddles (asks about their fic/art)
be sure to leave out milk and cookies for brutus tonight
You can leave as many cookies as you want but heβll only et two
this remains the funniest addition anyoneβs made to one of my posts
Donald Trump Is Not Joking About Annexing Canada: A Fucking Timeline

February 9, 2025: "Trump's national security adviser: 'I don't think there's any plans to invade Canada'" (NBC News πΊπΈ) <- CANADIANS NOTICE THAT THIS IS NOT A VERY STRONG DENIAL OF POSSIBLE MILITARY FORCE
February 10, 2025: Trump Confirms Heβs Serious About Wanting Canada As 51st State (Forbes πΊπΈ)

βTo be honest with you, Canada only works as a state...This would be the most incredible country visually,β [Trump] said. βIf you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it, between Canada and the U.S., just a straight artificial line. Somebody did it a long time ago, many many decades ago, and it makes no sense.β -Donald Trump
And hey, just for fun, let's contrast that with another quote:
First of all, I would like to emphasize that the wall that has emerged in recent years between Russia and Ukraine, between the parts of what is essentially the same historical and spiritual space, to my mind is our great common misfortune and tragedy...I am confident that true sovereignty of Ukraine is possible only in partnership with Russia. -Vladimir Fucking Putin, the year before launching an attack on Ukraine, which everyone also said he was joking about and definitely wouldn't do (2021 essay, Kremlin official website π·πΊ)
I know you're overwhelmed, Americans, but please stop saying this is a joke. Canadians are anticipating an invasion, possibly within the year. This is not a fucking drill.
Part 1 of OLSSM should wrap by roughly CH64.
A heads up in advance: once we reach that point, the story will go on a pause so I can properly plot out what needs to be in the back half. I imagine it won't be any worse than the hiatuses between these last few chapters, but at least now you'll know it's coming.
