Joel and Ellie’s Sweater Sunday!

I’ve been drawing a lot recently and I made some fanart for @penandinkprincess amazing Brady Bunch series!!

Hello,

I wanted to ask...

🍧 what is weirdest place you've written?

☁️ wip you want to write but haven't started yet?

🐠 author who inspires you?

ooh, thanks for the ask!!

Long post:

🍧: Hmmmm. I’m not sure, honestly. I mean there are a lot of places where I take out my phone and jot stuff down in my notes, so I guess like… probably a grocery store or smth lol

☁️: Hmmmm, so many lol. For fanfics I have like, a hundred ideas jotted down but I’ll go with some of my favorites:

Turnaround (plotted already and I’ll probably write it at some point. Basically it’s what would happen if Ellie never turned back in the mall with Riley and never got bit) (Angsty)

In the Ring (Joel goes to meet a buyer at this underground fight club in the QZ, and Ellie is one of the fighters) (Angsty)

Name TBD (Ellie is this infamous criminal who gets captured, and Joel is a closed off no-nonsense FBI agent who decides to work with her to take down a criminal organization) (Weirdly the least angsty one on this list…)

Snow (Ellie stumbles out of the statehouse and is… alone. Joel doesn’t make it to her in time and she has to fend for herself in the Colorado wilderness for a while before he finds her) (ANGST ANGST ANSGT)

Cinema Circus (Hollywood AU. Basically, Ellie is this big up and-coming actress who just got an Oscar nom and Joel is a director, and they team up to make a movie) (actually probably the second most angsty on this list because nothing’s ever easy with me) (it’s a miracle AbelCode has stayed relatively light so far lol) (so far…)

🐠: Leigh Bardugo! I love her books SO MUCH!! SoC was the first book I ever wrote fanfic for, I’m pretty sure. I feel like you can probably see a lot of the influence her writing has had on me, especially in my angstier fics like Skin.

An open note to readers of fanfic

Sometimes I stare at the computer screen when the words don’t want to come and I think, “Fuck, who am I kidding? This is terrible writing, and this story is shit, and no one cares, anyway.”  And I close the window and go do something else.

But every now and then I get an amazing, heartfelt, beautiful comment from someone who loved something I wrote, and it reminds me that, at least for that one person, I did write something worthwhile. And so I open the window again and I write one sentence, and then another, and then I start to find my way again.

So on behalf of all fanfic writers everywhere, I want to say thank you, thank you so much, to all of the readers who take the time to leave a comment and tell us that something we wrote mattered to you, that it brightened your day or made you laugh or cry or get horny or whatever.

Please don’t think we’re ever bothered by your comment, or that we don’t want to hear it, or that what you have to say isn’t important enough. It means so, so much. And on some days, it’s what keeps us going.
