Write Your Story

I just showed my 11-year-old son how many coffee shop AUs there are on AO3.

Why?

He sat down the other day to write a Minecraft story about three kids who go through a portal in their back yard and end up in the world of Minecraft where they have to battle all the big bosses (I didn’t even realize there WERE big bosses in Minecraft but that’s beside the point). He wrote three chapters with a little input from me – his first beta – and y'all?

He was fucking excited. To be writing a story.

Today he came home from school and seemed a little down, so I asked him about it only to find out that some little asshole at his school told him, “There is already a Minecraft story.”

Me: Okay? So what?

Lucifer: If there’s already a story, no one will read mine.

Immediately, I dragged him in and pulled up my AO3 account. My boys know I write fanfiction, so I showed him my account and how many subscribers I have. Then I showed him how many Teen Wolf stories there are. And then, because it seemed like the perfect analogy, I said, “What if I wrote a story where two characters meet in a coffee shop and fall in love? No werewolves, nothing at all to do with the actual Teen Wolf universe. Just Stiles and Derek meet in a coffeeshop and fall in love.”

He laughed.

I showed him Mornings Aren’t For Everyone. Showed him how many hits it had, how many kudos, how many lovely comments.

Then I said, “So do you think, if anyone else wrote a story about those exact same characters meeting in a coffee shop and falling in love… would anyone read it?”

He laughed and said, “No because you already did.”

So I clicked on the Sterek tag and refined to coffee shop AU. His mind was blown to see that they ALL had thousands of hits and kudos and comments. Then I clicked on JUST the coffee shop AU tag and showed him all the fics across all the fandoms written by countless different people.

I’m going to tell you all now what I told him because it applies to everyone.

Write your story. It doesn’t matter that someone else has written a story about that subject. They didn’t write YOUR story. Only you can do that.

And I want to read your story.

My FNAF phase is coming back to haunt me

Batfam: tell us everything. >:[

Danny: well… I went inside a very strange machine…. *proceeds to tell whole life story*

Batfam: the… the crime kid… tell us everything about the crime you just stopped…

Danny:

Batfam:

Danny: ohhhhh why didn’t you say so? :>

Drew something, my oc Ember Moonstone with Twilight Sparkle

Ember Moonstone is part griffen part kirin

This is the base I used, I found it on Pinterest, idk who the owner is but it’s amazing

Fuck it we ball

I made a Trolls oc and she is the younger sister of Brozone and her name is Coral

I absolutely blame my need to make an oc and write fanfiction for this character in the trolls franchise at @i06nerdii for the headcanons they did for Brozone’s younger sister

Read their shit it’s fucking awesome

Any ways, Coral is just my silly little guy who gets put in cages a lot

I in the first movie maybe AT LEAST, she would be about 18-20 but at most like perhaps 22 or 23 I’m not sure

I do know that much like in the headcanons given by @i06nerdii where reader is the sister, she does not know about her other older brothers as Branch never told her

The angst potential is here and I love it

Gonna try to do something with her but not sure yet if I’m gonna finish it but I’ll try posting head canons and one shots of her here.

Seriously check out their stuff it’s really cool.

For @imagionationstation ‘s Dona AU

in a perfect world what character would you own a life size cardboard cutout of. you get one and I want you to answer in the tags with your heart. if you asked me right now I would say columbo

The snek: confused and wanting to go back to their hole

The guy: oh my gosh a snek :D
