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

Hehehe! That's very cute, especially the person upside down. I've read some fics that make me feel that way (in a good way, I assure you!)

But what's making me grin more, I admit, is maccadole staking out her own anon fic - macca, try TRACKING (the little pin at the top of each post) and you will get notifications about comments even if you are anon!

Ahaha, awww this is cute!! I track stuff though lol (hahahahaa cabinetcaligari <333). sometimes I just track conversations which I want to follow (or one time someone I adore recced my first ever fic, and I was so gobsmacked I tracked the comments to see who was reading it LOL). And then I live in my email haha :D

Lovely pic. Everybody's happy except for the poor kitty as nobody's got a hand to pet her.

I'm not really tracking my stuff on LJ but am obsessed about ao3. Came from there and I love all its stats and notifications and comments. So yup, I live in my email as well. :D

So many laptops and hearts, and ohh dear, look at that precariously balanced tea cup on the armrest. That's a disaster waiting to happen, but something I can relate to.

Can I live wherever this is? Please. There's a fic-reading room! With a noticeboard of stuff, like fanart and upcoming fandom events. I mean, aah, it's like heaven. Look at everyone lounging about with their tech.

"Meow" indeed. :D :D :D

Oh my god. Okay, you and I are clearly going to become fast friends hahaha!

First of all, I'm dying. This is legit my life every fest, even with tracking turned on. Although, I hate spiders, I have a terrible fear of them. But spider-spies? Okay, I can definitely get behind that. this little doodle is hilarious! The mask on the spy! <3 I also totally want to hang out in this room! Look at that perfectly organized notice board! :D

Oh my god! This is basically the best thing ever. Look at it! LOL

I wonder which one is me! I think it's the one with the coffee on the side. Yep, I can see how that's me! :D:D

SO CUTE!
