I am watching in real time my whole field of work shrink and shrink because everyone is trying to replace people with AI and I'm getting very nervous for my own position. And AI is doing a terrible job so far but not that any CEO cares

Fanfiction was where I first learned to read attentively, write un-self-consciously, and to take seriously the complex relationship between text and reader, author and interpreter, canon and “fanon.” I was conducting close linguistic analysis simply to capture the cadence of a particular character: After all, you didn’t want to get comments from invested readers complaining “this is too OOT” (Out Of Character). I would rearrange the narrative structure of my own fics because I had loved the pacing of someone else’s. I would self-edit to feedback from readers according to what was landing well. All of it felt like play. But it was also an education. When I later sat in university lectures learning about focalization, diegesis, and narrative tension, I felt a quiet recognition. I had been doing this sort of work for years; I simply had not known its name.

Why Harry Potter tv series reboot when The Hunger Games is right there? They could've rebooted with actual 16 year old actors, gone into the worldbuilding that was missing from the first movies and shown the character growth more than superficially.

I know it’s hard to watch all these beautiful things be carried away by time and see the wrong things growing in their place. But listen. Listen. We have to be the beautiful things now. It has to be us. It has to be us. Courage.

I love HEA in fics, the romance, occassionally even excessive fluff But for some reason I cannot stand scenes with public declarations of love? Or public proposals? Why am I like this?

Well, it's still only basically a few paragraphs and an idea. It would be fanfiction so I don't know if you'd be interested in betaing that? When it comes to genre it would be romance I guess, that would be the closest

Ana @balancedyad.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
None yet, I'm still at idea level. But what I have an idea for (and only some paragraphs written) would potentially fall under romance

Ana @balancedyad.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
That's a really good tip, thank you! Just to get the story out first and then polish later. I think that might solve what's holding me back whicj is trying to get it perfect on the first draft. So I end up stuck very soon

Non native English fic writers who write in English! A question for you! How do you make sure the language and grammar is acceptable? Beta readers? Spellcheks or some programmes? I have this idea for a story for years but I'm very nervous about butchering it with my English

RIP Glen Hansard, your music has given me so much joy. From old Frames albums, to solo new ones, to heartwarming live sessions from your kitchen during the pandemic, to the best live performances I have ever seen. You will be missed

The knowledge of how many innocents’ deaths he is directly responsible for is clearly tormenting Musk psychologically, and I think he should be confronted with it roothlessly at every opportunity until he has a psychological break like the guy in The Tell-Tale Heart.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

I recently read a story set 2000-2002 and characters were taking pictures with their phones, whatsapping and using a phone light. There was none of that then, it was age of Nokia 3310. And it got me a) feeling old because I know this b) realizing how difficult it is to write something set just...
