I'm curious about this: when you play a game where you can customise your playable character...

A COMINT !!

unpopular opinion apparently but I actually do appreciate likes on my writing and art. Obviously reblogs show it to more people and that’s good, and of course comments or reblogs with tags that tell me what you think make me go WHEEEEE, but likes still tell me that my work was enjoyed, and I really appreciate that.

Wanna play a game of poker with him?

PHEW.. this took a lot less time tho than my others. I guess because 2 RP things that brought him up urged me to actually do it a lot quicker than normal so we both know what the hecky we're looking at.

Actually that no punctuation plot hole ooc wattpad fanfic written by that 12 year old will ALWAYS be better than character ai. And I love that 12 year old btw

HOLY HECKIN'...HE'S A PIRATE TOO?? QWQ

I’m gonna go ahead and rant real quick. I’m a fanfiction author, and I’m constantly looking for ideas I like. A lot of those ideas come from prompts, or tumblr posts, or other fandoms, or existing tropes.

Sometimes, fics already exist in those tropes.

So here’s my apparently “unpopular” opinion: I like reading fics of the same trope. If there’s a fic where they’re famous actors and they fall in love that I enjoy, I want four more slightly different ones. If I’m writing a fic where one is catfishing, I want to read the trope in at least four other fics like???

I like to see other authors’ take and style on common tropes. Just because one fic in a trope exists doesn’t mean the trope is off limits for the fandom. Far from it - take a chance with that trope. If you’re worried you’re too similar, mark it inspired by. You’re not going to copy someone exactly, and you could have an interesting spin on it. I want that spin to exist.

If two fics of the same trope can’t exist, I might as well delete over half my fics, including some of my most popular. It’s discouraging to hear people drop ideas because something like it exists - or even maybe exists.

tldr; more than one fic can exist within a trope or prompt in a fandom and be good fics. Please write whatever you want, even if something similar exists. Someone (like me) will read them all and enjoy them all.

Again, like someone here noted, “No one ever said that did Agatha write ANOTHER crime novel?”

Oh my shit, has Frank Miller drawn another Sin City with the same exact style?

Is Miyazaki going to publish another Ghibli animation?

What, is King still writing horror books, can’t the man try something else?

Why is every single Predator movie about predators hunting, they’ve been doing that since 1980’s?

See. We don’t want beloved things, art, music, series, characters etc. to turn something new because this person has been doing this same for so long and ughhhh I’m SO bored, I want King to start to write romance novels and Miyazaki better start to draw Moomins or something, and next Predator movie needs to be about struggling office worker trying to keep her house instead of scifi.
