To Everyone Who Puts Up Fanfic Only For It To Not Get A Lot Of Likes.

To everyone who puts up fanfic only for it to not get a lot of likes.

IMAGINE THIS: You are sitting somewhere public, writing your story. Someone random walks up to you, asks to read what you are writing, they read it, then they say they like it.

Imagine that feeling every time you put a new chapter up, only for it to get 3 likes. JUST IMAGINE 3 RANDOM PEOPLE TELLING YOU THAT THEY LIKE YOUR STORY!

People have so much pressure to go viral, or to make something and for it to get MILLIONS of likes.

But most people don't get that. The majority of the population will never get that. And that's a cold hard fact.

But hang onto the feeling I mentioned earlier. Every time you get a new like, you brighten up someone's day with your writing. Your work was so amazing that someone took the time to read it, keep reading it, and tell you that they liked it.

My point is, (I know, this was very long lol) every like or comment counts, no matter how many or how little you get.

Made some art as a send off. Again, words can’t express how greatful I am for @morningstarwrites

(P.S. this is what I appear as online. 🤪)

What a journey OSAS has been on. I have been here since about chapter 30. And now, the story is finished.

I just wanted to thank you because your story is what inspired me to read and make fanfic again. It also helped introduce me to a ship I love SO much. I love your story and I recommend it highly to everyone. OSAS truly gave me back my creative writing juices and I can never thank you enough.

Deadpool AU Idea I might write

in the comics, Deadpool has a daughter named Ellie Camacho. My idea, Poolvirne, but Deadpool has the daughter and Logan finds out about her because Wade was leaving and then coming back much later.

Like

Wade: *Comes home late for the 10th time*

Logan: WTF? Are you cheating on me or something?

Wade: NO-NEVER!

Logan: Why were you out so fucking late?

Wade: Okay so- IhaveadaguhterandIwantyoutoomeetherbutI'mneverous.

Logan: ...

Chapter 12 of Memories might be triggering for some people

So, in the tags, it says Lucifer has depression, and from early on, I wanted Lucifer to have a depression episode with Alastor around to witness it. That's what chapter 12 is going to be.

I NEED EVERYONE TO NOTE THAT I DO NOT HAVE DEPRESSION. i ALSO NEED EVERYONE TO NOTE THAT I AM TRYING MY BEST TO NOT SEROTYPE DEPRESSION!!!

If I am insensitive or accidentally stereotype depression, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO FIX IT.

And, because this might be triggering for people with depression, I am making Friday 4/18/25 a double update so that if people don't want to read it, they do not have to wait another week to get a fluffy chapter!

The only required reading part in the entirety of Chapter 12 is the very end, because Lucifer's siblings have another cameo (though I might change that).

Thank you to all who took the time to read this.

Civil War AU Idea

So I have a few superhero OCs, one of my favorites being Calico, a mutant with the abilities and appearance of a calico cat.

She has cream colored fur everywhere except her face, large cat ears on the top of her head, claws, slit pupils, sharp caine teeth, and a fluffy tail.

Powers include: Night vision, agility/flexibility/landing her feet like a cat, smell and hearing enhancement, and she can look more human (she doesn't have full control over this one, and it takes a lot of effort to stay human-looking)

All the art I have of her is old and terrible, so I'll update it later.

My idea, what if Captain America brought Calico in for the airport fight like Iron Man brought in Spidey? And, WHAT IF THEY KNOW EACH OTHER?? AND THEY ARE FRIENDS?

Like:

Calico spots Spider-Man from across the battlefield: HEY!! SPIDEY!! IS THAT YOU?

Spider-Man punches Hawkeye: CALICO? HEY!

Calico: MAN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THE WRONG SIDE?

Spider-Man: I’M NOT ON THE WRONG SIDE! YOU ARE!

Ironman: Underoos! What are you doing?

Spider-Man: I'm yelling to my bestie.

Calico: Awww, I'm your bestie?

Spider-Man: Yes, you are! When did you get so close to me?

Calico: A few seconds ago.

Iron Man: Underoos!

Spider-Man: Fine.

And then they end up fighting each other (because they have to), and they have a Clint and Nat moment where they are like:

Calico: We’re still friends, right?

Spider-Man: Totally.

Calico: Cool! 😁 *sweeps his legs with her tail*

I don’t care what anyone else wants, I’m making this AU.
