A god-tier reader just left FOUR comments on my fanfic, one for each chapter they read. It absolutely made my day.
I heard this called "spam commenting" and I am here to say that it is NOT, it is goated behavior, legend status for all time.

Wizards are not naturally immortal, in fact creating their own form of immortality is their graduate thesis.
“I have created a perpetual healing spell.”
“A classic. Congratulations.”
“If my soul leaves my body, this spell will keep it around and lucid enough to magic myself back together.”
“Effective. Next?”
“My spell feeds off the life force of microscopic things! When bacteria die near me, it adds to my total. Wiping down the sink with antibacterial cleaner gives me SUCH a buzz; I think I may have to dial it down a bit.”
“…I would be very curious to see your notes about this spell.”

“I tied my body’s physical shape to my self-image. As long as I feel young, I won’t age.”
“I see it also gave you… ah…”
“Massive dobonhonkeroos?”
“I was trying to find a more diplomatic way to bring it up.”
“An unexpected side effect, but not an unwelcome one.”
“Shall I assume it’s she/her from here on out, then?”
“Oh yes.”

An ancient Roman soothsayer would be frothing at the mouth at this.
Please share your reasoning in the comments! *Evil laughter*
#if this does turn into a fanfiction it will have at least a serious near death fake out if not a full on death#possibly multiple deaths#I have this really clear imagine of the scene being like one of those shooting ranges at carnivals where you shoot to nock it over#they are beaten and tied up & sitting in a row and one of them is gonna get shot in the chest and thrown back out of sight of the camera#and the others all start screaming/shouting#if jason isn't the one shot his eyes flare green and he screams/roars at the villian#and Batman will see it happen live#so will oracle
Had a dream where a villain somehow kidnapped all five Robins and broadcast like a game show where people could call in & vote for their favourite Robin/least favourite Robin & the Robin with the least points would be killed on live TV (like an in world version of fans voting to kill Jason but for all the Robins) and they have to sit there beaten & tied up watching the results come in while Batman & the others separately try to find them in time.
And "just for fun" the villain made the Robins vote as well & then mocks/shames them for their votes. He told them the Robin with the most votes would get to live. Dick & Damien voted for each other, Steph voted Tim, & Tim & Jason voted for each other because "Jason deserves someone trying to save him" and "I tried to kill him, I owe him this" and Tim is shocked and horrified at having the most votes because he genuinely thinks he's the least deserving/no one would vote for him.
Woke up before the call in voting ended. Think I might have to turn this into a very angry fanfiction.

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol
you're falling in the trap!! it will be read by many people, many times, and it will live on in their memories. and maybe no single other human will match you in time spent dedicated to your story, but as a collective we will outlast you. acts of creation only grow when they are shared
This. Writing is not like dinner. It can be consumed many times

Trick for telling whether to use “me” or “i”
Drop the other subject(s) and if the sentence makes sense, you’re using the right one.
Examples:
Incorrect- Arthur and me are going to the mall//me am going to the mall -no
Correct- Arthur and i are going to the mall//i am going to the mall
Incorrect- they brought presents for Henry and i//they brought presents for i -no
Correct- they brought presents for Henry and me//they brought presents for me
Rogue - a scoundrel or disreputable person
Rouge - a kind of makeup

IT IS NOT A TENANT OF YOUR RELIGION

Viscous- sticky
Conscious- awake, mindful
Conscience- Jiminy Cricket
The affect vs effect thing is very useful! Until you learn that you can effect (to cause to occur; bring about; accomplish) an affect (feeling or emotion, OR outward expression of same; yes, this is two nouns!) because English is a garbage fire.

UNCONSCIOUS: NOT AWAKE
SUBCONSCIOUS: NOT AWARE
You do not make a decision unconsciously, it’s SUBCONSCIOUSLY.
If you wanna say someone made a decision without realizing, you use SUBCONSCIOUS.
If you wanna say you made a decision while sleeping (how??) you use UNCONSCIOUS
So many writers don’t know this and it drives me nuts
You do not make a
decision unconsciously,
it’s SUBCONSCIOUSLY.
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Sometimes a creative outlet is a fun little hobby and sometimes it's a lifelong affliction. Like I crochet because making little woven animals sparks joy and I'm a writer whether I like it or not because I'm tormented by visions
Me crocheting: I made a duck ! ^_^
Me writing: pacing around talking to myself compelled by forces beyond my comprehension
Using place names and character names derived from Celtic languages to imply the characters are all actually speaking Gaelic & Welsh despite the book being otherwise written in English - but using specifically Scots English. Sitting typing at my laptop singing ✨It's the best of both worlds✨ like I've solved some crazy code or something 😂
#there's drama about if funding should go to promoting Gaelic or Scots and it just makes me sad because why can't we have both dang it#Scots Gaelic#Gaelic#Scots#Scotland#Writing#can you be a fan of Tolkien and not do complicated language stuff in your fantasy book?#I think not#Him saying he just translated the books from ancient writings always made me so happy it's so fun#and seriously what self respecting fantasy race is actually speaking english?#it's this chimera of a language with a bunch of lone words and influence with very specific historical context#your fantasy world doesn't have english they are speaking a whole other language it's just being translated for us#like in Game of Thrones they aren't speaking Dothraki Valerian and English#They are speaking Westerosi#King's Landing isn't actually called that it's called the Westerosi equivolent of that
