Fic-writers during a Fest....

[capricornbookworm]

Here's a doodle I did about what fic-writers are like during a fest. This was based on a hilarious misunderstanding with the fabulous maccadole <3. I had asked about whether authors had to go stalk their own work while it was anonymous or if they recived notifications about comments on it. When she told me that they actually had to go stalk the work, I told her that I imagined everyone as little spies coming down from the ceiling to spy on a room full of people reading their fic, and trying to gauge everyone's reactions. Mac thought I said spiders, not spies. Thus, spider-spies were born. I felt inclined to doodle it, so I hope you all enjoy this! I apologize for the sloppiness and the fact that my handwriting looks like it belongs to an 8-year old girl.



Also, does this feel like an accurate depiction of what you guys do during a fest? I know it's certainly an accurate depiction of me as a reader (drinking tea and loving all the fic).

Cheers, dears <3

Hahahaha, well as for me, I check every day or so? And when it's longer ago it posted, not so often anymore. A little bit like a kid sneaking downstairs to see whether there are new presents under the Christmas tree already... and sometimes not, but sometimes there are new ones :D

And widespread, I hoped it was, but I asked my compass in this life, shiftylinguini, and she's been laughing at me for ten minutes straight already :(

*snorts* It's literally 1:30 in the morning for me, but I am too preoccupied reading these comments and crying with laughter to I don't know.... SLEEP?

<333 This whole conversation is cracking me up. I also feel that my doodle is far less applicable than I was anticipating, but now every time I see it it's going to make me laugh

Aha, sorry for stopping you from sleepinnggggg! I think it's detention for Cali and I, we are not mature enough for LJ today LOL! And the drawing is fab, and it is fun to see a fic go up over night and then go and check to see if anyone loves you! :D

sleep tight xoxoxox

Ahaha, it's alright! I may have only gotten 4 hours of sleep last night, but it was worth it :D

You and Cali should totally go to detention though. I mean seriously, y'all are such hooligans ;)
Glad you like the drawing though!

Why don't YOU shut your misty hole already (and I hope you're tracking this and get notifications EVERYWHERE) <33

You leave my misty holes out of this, or I'm telling professor snake!

*tracks levels of sass, finds them out of control*
