If It's Good Enough For You, Then It Deserves To Be Made. Don't Let Anyone Else Decide If Your Story

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

ranking the best things I have heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)

2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:

3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."

4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: "Please remember that [patient] is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"

5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be put under GA] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*

I'm sick as hell, guys. I'm not gonna be getting any chapters done anytime soon. I'm sorry!🤒😷🤕

sometimes i need to remind myself that i'm writing fanfiction for free and i'm allowed to have a shitty sentence or two

I have tied my hair back in a high bun and donned my headphones. You know what that means, fearlings? It's writing time! Expect another chapter of Power Play! Thinking about posting another chapter of Mistakes in Witchcraft and might even get to Don't Fear the Reaper! Be prepared, fearlings. The next chapter of Power Play is a doozie!

A little sneak peak to what's going on in chapter 15 of Flip Side. Kuno secretly loves the little nickname Marko has given him, not that he's likely to admit that aloud!
