In which the best friend gets the job she wants, leading to throwing a house party

It had been a few weeks since I graduated. I had met the 'vlog squad' and absolutely loved them. I had applied to a few jobs and did some interviews, the one that I mainly wanted let me work from home.

The day had been full of laughing and the boys filming skits when my phone rang the special ringtone I set for the job I applied to. I jumped up and made my way towards the spare room that David told me to call my own, yet I refuse to. I quickly answered brightly, "hello?" "Hi is this Ms.Dalilah Lovex?" I smile big even though she can't see me, "this is she." "This is Ms.Holland from Holland Inc (totally not made up;))I'm happy to inform you that you have the news collum on our website if you still want it." I tried to contain my happiness as I answer, "yes! Yes, I still want the job. Thank you so much!" She laughs, "of course. I'll send you the email Mondays on your topic that's due Fridays. Glad to have you on board. You'll also be getting an email on payment plan for your work." I nod, "yes ma'am. Thank you so much." "Talk to you soon." "Okay, bye," I smile as I hang up let out a squeal and did my happy dance before running into the living room and jumping on the couch next to Natalie, "guess what." "Chicken butt," she asks making me laugh and shake my head. "You know the interview with Holland Inc?" She nods, "the stay at home article?" Nodding I smile big, "I got the job." She gasps and turns to me, "oh my God," she yells catching everyone's attention, "you got the fucking job!" She hugs me making me laugh, I laugh harder when everyone starts clapping. David smiles big from behind the camera having caught it all because of them filming a skit, "now you can pay rent." Natalie laughs, "she does your laundry and keeps your messy house clean. I'm pretty sure that's paying rent as is." He nods, still smiling big, "yeah fair point." My heart beats faster, but of course I don't think anything of it. "Oh, we should celebrate," Zane yells, "a good old fashioned vlog Squad house party!"

Why ya need to shut up about "shitty fanfic"

Do you know all those posts out here about being supportive of young artists and being careful with how you talk to them about their art? Or just appreciating fanart in general and not being a total asshole?

That doesn’t exist for fanfic writers.

I am so freaking tired of seeing posts talking about “what a pain it is to rake through shitty fanfic” and memes about “shitty fanfic existing in abundance” , “shitty fanfic being the only fics that update regularly”, “popular pairings having a ton of fanfic but only a few good ones”, and all this crappy attitude towards fanfics that may not be that eloquent or fandom famous.

Don’t be an asshole. Everyone needs to start somewhere. Maybe in a few years these writers will improve and make much better fanfic. Even if they don’t, they are doing something they love and should not be freaking criticized for it. Keep your ranting and opinions about “shitty fanfic” to yourself. You’re making a majority of fanfic writers feel self-conscious, unmotivated, and even more unappreciated.

Days like ‘fanfic writer appreciation day’ are super nice, but ultimately fall short unless we fix this horrid attitude fandoms have towards fanfic.

College Graduate pt 4

In which David and Dalilah spend alone time while their friends party

@/dalilahondemand: ready to party

The party was in full swing, had been for a few hours. I had had 3 solo cups of beer and 2 mixed drinks so I was slightly buzzed. Deciding there was too many people in the house i walked out to the back. A few people were out here but all by the pool so I made my way to the swing chair.

I had been stairing at my drink thinking when someone sat next to me. Looking up I expected Natalie but was met with a smiley David, "hey you okay?" I shrug and lean back, "yeah just too many bodies in there." He laughed lightly nodding, "yeah our parties tend to be a lot." I couldn't help but laugh, "sounds like you have a lot of 'em." The cute guy I've lived with for almost a month shook his head, "nah, not really. Only when we have something to celebrate."

It grew silent for a moment so I decided to speak, "thanks for letting me stay here." His shoulders shrug and a goofy smile is placed on his face, "it's awesome having you around. The group loves you, Natalie's not moody, and your really cool," my cheeks heat up and I smile, "plus the fans love you." I laugh and shake my head, "of course they do, who doesn't?" David laughs and sips his drink making me sip mine. "You should honestly start your own channel. You'd be amazing at it." I shrug and look down, "maybe. We'll see Dobrik." A slow song comes on through the speakers and David sets his cup down, "wanna dance?" I shrug, "why not?" Placing his hands around my waist and to my lower back I place mine around his neck and thread my fingers together as we begin to sway to the song. I close my eyes and lay my head on his chest as the songs plays through. That's the moment I realized I liked David Dobrik.

Little did we know someone got it on video and would put it in their vlog.
