Xennials. We are Xennials. The end of Gen X and the beginning the Millennials. We are in our 40s and think we are still 20, which is a problem when your back randomly locks up. We can name most songs from the 80s to about 10 yrs ago. We still think the 80s was only 20 yrs ago.
There was a whole generation between gen x and millennial, born from around 80-85, who are different than everyone else.

The non Xennials won't get it. They'll try to push us in either direction. We know we're not Gen-X we know we're not millennials. We're the bridge.

all I want to say in this ao3 conversation right now is that I love fic writers, and you deserve so much more than fandoms have ever given you. Fanfics are so often the backbone of a healthy fandom and I think it's time we started acknowledging it.

a lot of ppl will drop ffnet bc of the lack of tagging but it’s totally a viable replacement, especially for older fandoms. nothing wrong with going back to the something vintage for a few weeks

what writing looks like: • whispering dialogue aloud to hear if it sounds absurd • falling down a Wikipedia rabbit hole • agonizing over whether to use "gazed" or "looked" • staring at a blank doc like it owes you money

every day i come on here and i see ppl criticising fic writers for using italics or rule of 3s or writing too long sentences or too short sentences so i’m going to open my doc and continue doing all of those

“This reads like AI-” No, sir, AI was trained on how I write. I grew up in the trenches of Tumblr, AO3, Wattpad, and fanfictionnet You can’t pry my rule of three from my cold, human hands.

"can fanfic writers stop-" bro between my burn out, work and school I am lucky if I even finish the fics I am working on, you get what you get no one is paying fanfic writers for this.

as someone who both reads and writes fanfic, of course I have icks. But you know what? I'm not shaming anyone on this app or leaving hate comments where they can see it 🫩 matter fact, I don't even talk about it at all 😭

Next week will mark 25 years. Dad went to work at the World Trade Centre and didn’t come home. It’s not what happens, it’s what we do with what happens that can make or break our future. #25years #sept11 #newyork youtu.be/ZXvelhJGoyg?is=abru…
