achieved perfect venn diagram of longform fiction writers & archipelago randomizer VOD enjoyers where i hit a point that seems like a stop-and-revise and just said out loud "am i BK-ed?"

last year's terror of history timeloop fic is not escaping the "narrative prose and the bourgeoise form" allegations, but the thing i'm working on is so fundamentally stupidly dunking its head in the masscult genre bucket that i think it might horseshoe around. feelin good.

going to do zero numbers with this massive sprawling political thriller mech pilot AU motorsports fanfic where roger penske is a mix of allen dulles and an evil wizard, max verstappen tricks more people than revolver ocelot, and connor zilisch may as well be in the shinji ikari folding chair

someone asked me why the nascar championship in xfinity (now o'reilly) was contentious last year and i was like okay well let me give a quick visual reference for Ws/podiums/fastest lap/pole etc

i say all the time i would protect shane van gisbergen with my life. but also if anyone says anything remotely suspect about rajah caruth they will taste my blade

in the chat reassuring my peers with one of my stronger crank theories about fanfiction (writing short stories is actually very hard, they're not a popular medium for a reason, they're often very poorly structured and unsatisfying, that wordcount is hard to finesse, you are being lied to, etc)

got mad at myself 24hrs ago for only adding one scene to my draft on friday so i wrote 10k words on saturday. built different (wrong) (unemployable)
February 1, 2026 at 6:42 AM
was talking about the political thriller mech au in chat and somebody was like "noooooo roger penske's a villain? :(" and 2 days later i'm pointing to the indycar d.c. thing like "is this getting through to you yet"

i have once again written 70k words of fanfiction rough draft in 2 weeks. instead of becoming employable all i've done for 12 yrs is write like a million words of stuff no one will ever read, recreationally. all i'm good at is Too Many Words. except. well. obviously i'm also really good at Revisions

having heated rivalry as a blocked tag on tumblr (neutrally, non-judgmentally: i don't want to get oversaturated by it) leads to some very fun stretches of empty dashboard even from my motorsports mutuals

(me when im designing arcane corporate policies as a plot device) haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! (me having to go back and very carefully adjust all of the tiny moving parts in the system of arcane corporate policies when i have a better idea about One of them) Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
January 26, 2026 at 4:23 PM
y'know i swore when that anecdote about max verstappen, svg, and connor z all going to dinner dropped that i was going to become a Problem about it, but i didn't think the longfic AU political thriller in space was going to be the venue for it. i AM cooking though
January 26, 2026 at 5:41 AM
god nerfed all my other stats but he made me into a guy who can write 50k of readable decently-paced prose in 10 days so it's fine
January 25, 2026 at 7:10 AM
the part in the motorsports fanfic where you have to demonstrate the importance of racing competition to the pov character, and deepen the mutual respect between drivers as competitors........... i.e. describe the coolest thing ever (racing) with the worst tool possible (linear narrative prose)

WRC heard i got a WRC+ subscription and they put a 66 year old kiwi co-driver in there to thank me personally. i'm barking like a dog

everybodys a tough guy like oh it's vibes based oh i'll remember when i said something would be "in two weeks" oh i remember what day of the week it was. and then you're 40k words into the WIP like oh i was wrong. i do need to write out a day by day calendar
January 24, 2026 at 2:58 AM
i keep thinking of myself as a guy who's just blandly positive about daniel ricciardo and then i watch a video of him and i get blasted by hte fucking Beam
January 24, 2026 at 1:38 AM
i am the only guy in nascar fanfiction who's not interested in penske or hendrick drivers. every day i suffer
