There is also apparently a...thing where there's a standard character string used (y/n or something like that) so that readers can search and replace to put their names in.
Oh, so THAT'S what I see on Tumblr. I had no idea what that was.
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

Me neither! Fans, man. Still being creative, all these years later.
I'm trying to decide whether to sign up for the Narnia fic exchange. It's the only exchange I've had any success with over the years, but I always find writing to deadline stressful, and I haven't written any fiction at all in a couple of years...

I gotta say, /reader shit is why I have AO3 savior installed. It's blocked as hard as Tom Hiddleston and Darcy Lweis.
I need time to write. The story I am working on probably has an audience of exactly one. But I still want to finish it! (I have other WIPs with wider audiences, but my audience of one is going through health stuff and it might cheer her up.)
(AKA, "Here's the Gifted Five Things nobody actually needed but I felt compelled to write, and did I mention it's gen as hell?")

I am trying out Suits hoping it will become a fic show for me.

does everyone have an ongoing list of fic they want written that doesn't exist?
