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

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

Someone will totally go pet kitty, I promise! She'll go sit on someone's laptop and block the screen until they pay attention to her <3 (Which is pretty much what my cat does).

Hahah, I love how everyone is just attached their emails waiting for comments. I suppose I do the same thing now. Especially with messages, I'll just refresh my email 6 more times on the off-chance that I got a reply in the past 2 minutes since I last checked.
