To every fanfic author who may not receive a thank you today or message in their inbox, to every author who doesn’t receive kudos or comments on their fics, to the author who doesn’t receive notes on tumblr or maybe only a few, to the author who is unsure about their writing and too afraid to post online, to the authors who are only authors in their minds and have yet to write a single word, to every author who is too tired to write right now, to the authors who are just too tired to update their fics, to the fanfic author aspiring to be published, to the fanfic authors who may not receive fan art of their work or may not be considered popular:
For artists who have problems with perspective (furniture etc.) in indoor scenes like me – there’s an online programm called roomsketcher where you can design a house/roon and snap pictures of it using different perspectives.
It’s got an almost endless range of furniture, doors, windows, stairs etc and is easy to use. In addition to that, you don’t have to install anything and if you create an account (which is free) you can save and return to your houses.
my advice: have fun and play–play is learning | always be watching real life to see how things move | also be watching cool animations to learn from them | it’s hard but so worth it when things turn out well, good luck!
Let’s be honest – we all forget to leave a comment sometimes. We don’t always go out of our way to click the “come talk to me on tumblr” link on AO3 to scream about the fic in the author’s inbox. On August 21st I encourage you to take a moment and show fanfic writers that you appreciate them!
How can you do it?
leave a comment and kudos on every fic you finish reading. Doesn’t matter how short. Doesn’t matter if you’re just repeating what other people have already said. Just be kind! Keysmashing, Caps Lock, and live commenting appreciated! (Bonus points if you leave a comment on every chapter)
floaty review box for ao3 (super useful for commenting as you read + it has a ‘review tips’ button if you feel stuck)
reblog ficlets, drabbles, fics, fic rec posts, etc. Put a nice comment in the tags. Remember that likes, while appreciated, don’t give the writer any exposure, meaning the posts don’t reach more people
go to your local fanfic writer’s inbox and talk to them about their fic of your choice. Let them know how long ago you’ve read it and what story point/sentence/scene still makes you smile when you think about it
send thank you messages to fic writers. In a world where you have to pay for almost everything, they’re supplying you with countless hours of free entertainment. It can get quite lonely without getting messages acknowledging the hours they spend writing stories – let them know their time and effort is appreciated
make fic rec posts and @ the authors whose fics you’re recommending! (believe me, fic writers love to see their stories in these posts)
create something inspired by a fic! You can draw fanart, make a moodboard or aesthetic post, or even write a song for the fic you love. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro doesn’t matter – the thought alone is what counts more than anything ❤
buy the writer a coffee if they have a ko-fi page and you have some change lying around c: Caffeine keeps most fic writers awake when they struggle with a particularly slow draft or a difficult scene. More coffee, more content.
These are only some ideas out of the sea of possible ways to appreciate fanfic writers. On August 21st show the writers in your fandom(s) some love ❤
Oh hey it’s already that time of the year!!! Spread the word and signal boost, fellow fanfic fans, so that tomorrow may be a day of delight for your favorite authors ❤
THIS IS TODAY!!! GO GIVE YOUR FAVORITE WRITERS SOME LOVE!!
I don’t usually draw BNHA fan art??? For some reason I’m just a little inspired to do so lately, I blame my little sister for hyping me back up about it.
Anybutt, wanted to draw another Mirio and Eri, so here’s some of that.
Superhero courses don’t teach you how to do hair, it’s a shame, really.
That fuckin picture of that guy at agraveyard holdin like, a cup or smt, with a mothman sized moth with him, both staring directly at the camera is somehow the funniest image but I haven’t been able to find it in months
Another batch of prom icons!!! We have over 20 members in our cosplay group and honestly that’s fucking AMAZING and HUGE and INTIMIDATING IM SO SCARED!!!
We still need to fill spots for Class 1-A, so if you’re a SoCal cosplayer and have interest in cosplaying Mina, Satou or Ojiro send me a PM! We also have other characters still open and we’d love to have you join our group!!
These icons are free to use, please credit me though!!! Just so you know that lovely lady with the pink background is Mt Lady, I feel like that might not have been obvious! (Also look at that Toumura in the bottom … he’s not dressed for prom … why aren’t you cleaner …)
