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

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

Ahhhhhh <3 Haha, oh I'm so delighted by you!

I am so glad you can actually relate to this!! My conversation with Mac was hilarious, so I was planning to draw spying-spider anyways, but then I thought I should relate it back to fest (since NGF was just finishing up). I actually hate spiders as well! I am petrified of them, but I tried to make mine as cute and harmless looking as possible. I mean look at him/her/them, they are getting to see all those people enjoy their fic! :D

Bahah, I am just so happy that you enjoyed this. When I read this comment, I just started cracking up and smiling.

Cuteness level definitely plays a huge factor, lol!! Have you seen those tiny little green fuzzy ones that do the little dance with their arms?? That's the only spider I can handle hahaha!

OMG yes I know exactly what you're talking about. Like the little one's that do the YMCA and stuff? Those are actually adorable.

I know you are scared of spiders, as am I, BUT you must go watch this video. It's hysterical and... I'll just let you see what I mean.

the video <3

Lmao what even hahahaha! The narration totally makes that video! And what a goofy spider, did it miss its calling as an ostrich? I died at the end when it did finally manage to bury itself.
