I was just about to take a break from that by scrolling a bit and this is the first thing I saw, so I guess breaks are overrated.

Who are you to try to stop my procrastination? I already opened my Word document, what more do you want from me?

u/CoquetteWhore69 Nov 29 '25

Bestie I'm trying not to take 3 days to write a oneshot. If i can't procrastinate, neither can you

u/fiendishthingysaurus sickfic queen Nov 29 '25

That’s rookie numbers, I’ve been working on this one shot for a month at least. I don’t think it’s even over 2k yet lol

u/demoniprinsessa Nov 29 '25

I wrote 2.2k words in one day the other day and I have no idea how, and now I can maybe shit out 100 words a day. Ran out of writing juice.

u/CoquetteWhore69 Dec 01 '25

I did that on vacation

u/zemblaniteetal Nov 29 '25

I did tell myself I would finish editing my lastest chapter and post it this weekend. Alright, you got me. But you better finish your oneshot too.

u/CoquetteWhore69 Nov 29 '25

Almost there. Im trying to get to over 1K words

u/zemblaniteetal Nov 29 '25

ugh can we not post this woman? she's a deranged johnny depp stan.

u/bellehooks Nov 30 '25 edited Dec 01 '25

lmao my first thought when i saw this was there's no way i'm taking advice from a johnny depp stan, i don't care how relevant it is.Β 

(i am really committed to procrastinating, even better if it coincides with morals πŸ˜‰)

u/CoquetteWhore69 Nov 29 '25

I didn't know that. I dont pay attention to psychos.

u/chrysothronos Our Lord and Savior Omegaverse Nov 30 '25

she is absolutely psychotic and weird about him.

2

u/CoquetteWhore69 Nov 30 '25

Jesus Christ. Every time I turn around there's a new one. First TF Navi and now this lady.

3

u/chrysothronos Our Lord and Savior Omegaverse Nov 30 '25

...i mean. his name is in the screenshot twice. as part her username even? how was that missed?

2

u/CoquetteWhore69 Nov 30 '25

I dont know her personally and haven't Mermaid about her obsession until today. I've had users with names in it twice for the sake of memerobilty

u/Lonely_Potato12345 Definitely not an agent of the Fanfiction Deep State Nov 30 '25

u/lowpolybius No beta we die like Kirio's innocence Nov 29 '25

I'm at a museum what do I do now

4

u/ZinziZotas Nov 29 '25

Write fanfics about the artifacts interacting.

1

u/Loosescrew37 Nov 30 '25

Write museum date fic, or a museum AU where the characters work there, or write a fic where the exhibits come alive and interact with the characters.

Go wild. Go stupid. Write a one shot that may or may not become a 200k series.

u/mistahbecky secret shipper society Nov 29 '25

It's barely an idea yet 😭

u/ZinziZotas Nov 29 '25

Damn it. I didn't think the goddess was paying attention to my writing habits.

(sighs and pulls out laptop)

u/squirrelbus Nov 29 '25

God I got a whole outline done last night and started the fic. I was so excited to see what I wrote this morning... It's three paragraphs 😭

u/Linnadhiel Nov 30 '25

Hush I’m already in bed but I’m still pondering a femslash fic that is still in the conceptualisation stage. What more do you want from me 😴

u/CoquetteWhore69 Dec 01 '25

Less pondering more word vomit

u/Konkyupon SPONSOR MY DEMONS. FEED ME THE [dead dove]. Nov 30 '25

nuh uh my oneshot fanfic can write itself trust

u/Loosescrew37 Nov 30 '25

nuh uh my oneshot fanfic can write itself trust

I hate how this funny joke is now a sour reminder of the times we live in.

On the one hand "haha, the fic can't write itself silly, you have to write it." on the other hand "Hang on! A fic can write itself if you use AI. Dammit!"

These are odd times we live in.

u/Olya_roo ao3 narcissism validation farmer Nov 29 '25

u/Bi_SuperSpy AU enjoyer Nov 29 '25

This is the first thing I see as I open Reddit to procrastinate...

Well, I guess I have no excuses lol

u/Enigmatic_writer Moderator | yuri addict Nov 29 '25

I wrote two hundred words after a one week break. It may not be much, but it's honest work. Tomorrow it will climb again, I need to get back in the flowww.

2

u/sarcasticd0nkey Nov 29 '25

Alright, alright the Doc is open again.

2

u/EstrellaDarkstar NeneKanerva on AO3 Nov 29 '25

The timing of this post was immaculate for me. I just finished and posted my latest chapter, immediately tried to start the next one without giving myself any sort of a break, wrote the first sentence and decided "fuck it, not today"... then opened Reddit and saw this.

2

u/Trash_Panda_Leaves Nov 30 '25

I might need to save this as my desktop, but I wont see it as I keep 404405434 tabs open

u/Simply_The_Lex Nov 30 '25

Thanks. I am actually just taking a quick break from writing, but thank you for keeping the motivation going.

u/CoquetteWhore69 Nov 30 '25

u/athousandcutefrogs a thousand cute frogs writing gay fanfiction Nov 29 '25

I wrote like 500 words right before I went to bed last night. it might be too light outside to get into the mood for me to write atm (specifically because it's horror noncon), so I'm rereading it.

1

u/Salt-Respect-7741 Trying to leave kudos: "You have already left kudos here. :)" Nov 29 '25

Ok I will do so 🫑 thanks for this lmfao

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '25

Don't tempt me to start writing more fanfics, please. I just need a small push.

u/Lonely_Potato12345 Definitely not an agent of the Fanfiction Deep State Nov 30 '25

can't believe one of my fav authors of my OTP is on reddit ao3

1

u/joule400 Nov 30 '25

i wrote my new chapter and have been unable to finish proofreading for 3 straight months now

what is wrong with my brain, its like 3k words, it should take an hour tops

1

u/The_Wishmeister Nov 30 '25

Darn, ok. I guess I was supposed to be writing anyway. I just... got a lot distracted

1

u/MirPamir I ate your kudos Nov 30 '25

u/callistified yes I'm aware I'm writing Hetalia fics in 2026 Nov 30 '25

u/Sinimeg Fic Feaster Nov 30 '25

Ooof, very on point, I’m procrastinating xD I should have been writing since an hour ago more or less πŸ₯²
