No, said Aziraphale, it's ineffable.

those ao3 “kudos” emails where someone has gone through and read pretty much all of your stories, one after the other: blessings upon you and your household

xcziel

don’t authors find that weird though? i don’t do that, just because i always figured it might seem stalkery, going story by story through people’s older work (which of course i do ~all the time~ because awesome fic is addictive) if people are happy to have the kudos, i will totally start leaving them as i read

bewaretheides315

I mean, I can only speak for myself here, but no, I don’t find it creepy. Someone I’ve never met going through my old instagram selfies and systematically liking them - creepy. Someone I’ve never met obsessively reading my old fics and liking them - my favorite person of the day. Just MHO.

seeing the same person’s name on a string of kudos for your fics because they’ve obviously read through your back catalogue is one of life’s great joys

xcziel, there’s nothing I like more as a writer than someone who is obviously reading everything.

Well, maybe comments. Yes, on old fic too.

anglofile

I once (back on lj) had someone comment on every single chapter of a fic I wrote in one evening. It was the most thrilling night of my fanfic career. I didn’t feel creepy in the least.

siawrites

COMMENT. I don’t care how old it is or how many chapters a reader comments on.

The only thing that might possibly be more flattering is the “I stayed up all night because I couldn’t stop reading” comment.

Yes, please.

YES ALL OF THIS

all of this

Reblogging because readers somehow still have this idea that too many comments/kudos are seen as creepy or stalkery.
IT’S NOT.
Seriously. Every comment, all of the kudos, they’re greatly, GREATLY appreciated. And knowing that someone liked your work enough to click on your name and go through your other fics and liked those too, even the old stuff you’re kind of self-conscious about, is the greatest feeling a writer can have. So if you like a fic, say something/leave kudos, no matter if it’s the first or fifth fanfic you’ve read in one night from that author.

I LOVE when I get an email where it’s the same name, like a dozen or more times because they went through and read like, /everything I ever wrote/ apparently. It makes me so happy! :D

ionaonie

Multiple kudos and/or lots of comments are the best thing ever

peoriarhetoriapeoria

Not at all creepy. It’s like, they are reading, get to the end, said they liked it, and Prove they liked it because they read another and liked that…

And yes, it’s just as fun to see this with old stories. Maybe even more?

kellifer-k

The other thing that is super nice? When someone comments and says, hey, I tried to kudos but I had already kudos’d so I’m commenting to kudos again because I do that ALL THE TIME. I either forgot I’d read this lovely thing and want to kudos again, or I’m doing a re-read of something and I *want* to kudos again. When it happens to me it’s seriously lovely - someone enjoying your stuff enough that they re-read.

So, in case you haven’t seen what Tokyo Disney is doing for halloween

asylum-teaparty

Here’s the basics. The big villains of the disney movies have invited mickey and the crew to join them for halloween. Meanwhile, the villains have sent out ‘recruiters’ to get the guests to join the villain’s side!

Here are the recruiters, because they’re amazing and already are amassing a fanbase (plus I want to draw them). I’ve only got a few of their names, so I wrote the ones I knew.

Eight Foot Joe (Ursula):

Apple Poison (Evil Queen):

Jack of Hearts (Queen of Hearts):

(Cruella DeVille):

Malefi (Maleficent):

Veil (Frollo):

(Hades):

(Captain Hook):

(Scar):

(Jafar):

If y’all know any of the names I don’t, please put them!

Until Dawn (Sega Mega Drive Version) is, as the title suggests, a fan made demake that transports the butterfly effect decision making gameplay of the the PS4 original into a tiny Mega Dive (Sega Genesis) ROM.

S04E14 - “Return to Grace”

dressedtothedsnines

Not to be confused with a Return to Innocence. More like a return to bottle episodes, so not all of this will be strictly about clothing. Deep Space Nine, look what you made me do.

Just the flax, ma'am

Kira packs for a diplomatic meeting. She’s traveling light, so just the essentials. Which, of course, include at least one crocheted garment.

I’m not sure I’d have a whole pineapple in my snacky fruit bowl. Don’t those require a blade and a lot of persistence? Then again, it is Kira.

I’m not even going to try to explain the bell peppers.

Padding out the story

It’s so great how the future is paperless! Now you can store all your data on… five different devices!

This is what’s sometimes adorable about the Star Trek future. The writers envisioned space ships and automatic doors and tablets, but they didn’t envision things like email or file transfers or microtized storage space. It’s not a flaw! It’s just fascinating how the actual future has played out in different ways than they thought.

Gul Whiner’s Daughter

Ziyal has a great dress in two tones of lavender brocade. I wouldn’t expect raglan sleeves in fancy fabrics like this, but it looks good. She also has a pretty gold ornament in her hair, but there’s not a single good screencap of it, because Trekcore hates me.

Obviously I’m just going to assume she’s wearing matching leggings and boots.

Flynn Lives

Cardassian ship design apparently takes its cues from video game arcades. That red checkered carpet, the dim lighting, the tilted monitors overhead… squint a little and you’ll see that behind Dukat is a Star Wars cockpit cabinet, and on the wall is Dance Dance Revolution.

And that man on the right is playing Galaga.

Uh… thanks, I’ll just have the protein pellets

I am distrustful of future food. Kira appears to have a split-pea soup aspic with salsa. Dukat is having a whole head of boiled cabbage. They’re gonna need some more wine.

If you give a mouse a freighter…

It’s always fun to see what the Props Department comes up with for miscellaneous scenes. Here the cargo hold appears to be designed for Little Rodentia. Can you spot all of these items?

Klingons gonna Kling

No particular divergence from their usual look here, from wavy hair to pointy boots. I am impressed with the nearest woman’s eyebrows. And also with the variety of auto parts she seems to have on her front.

The fish says AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa…..
