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

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

Bahahah, "Meow" indeed :D

I want to live here too! A room with HP fanart on the walls, giant windows with endless views of the stars at night, tea, cats, comfy couches, and of course tons of lovely fic. <3 I could do without the giant spider coming down from the ceiling, if I'm best honest... but we both know that's it's a nice spider, so I will learn to deal with it.

I am glad you noticed the precarious teacup! I tend to be quite a careful person, but occasionally my tea does seem to end up in precarious locations like that.
