Tom Hardy I love you more and more every day
I understand this extremely well. Possibly because I seem to be painfully short on precisely this

“Most girls and women understand the risks they take when they become angry. No matter how justified, appearing angry won’t do her any favors and will actually undermine people’s perception of her competence and likeability. Studies show that when men are angry, people tend to lose their own confidence and defer to men’s opinions. When women are angry, the opposite happens. Studies also reveal that people will opt to work for angry-sounding aggressive men, but not with angry-sounding aggressive women.”— Soraya Chemaly, from Does Your Daughter Know It’s OK To Be Angry?
In other words, it isn’t okay to be a woman and be angry.
… well, that didn’t make me LESS angry…

Whooo! My story The Unfinished Letters just crossed the 20,000 hits threshhold today! It’s the 29th of my current 86 Johnlock stories to have reached this milestone and I’m so pleased! It’s a story about John discovering a collection of unfinished, unsent letters that Sherlock wrote, starting during his time away and continuing into his return. It features one of my piniest of pining Sherlocks and a whole lot of unrequited love angst. I’m so pleased that so many people have read it and liked it so much. Thank you!!

Every time I feel like drawing but don’t know what to draw, I end up drawing Johnlock kisses.

If your fic is 1000 words long, you can’t tag it slow burn. It’s not slow burn. That is a matchstick. And this is my personal bias here but if those motherfuckers you’re writing experience significant forward momentum in their relationship in under 5k words, then that is just a regular old burn. Slow burn should be borderline intolerable and a mistake to start reading at 2 in the morning.
If the fic doesn’t have multiple scenes where two people almost kiss but then don’t because of a contrived interruption that they are both grateful for and angry about, until the desperate reader is forced every other paragraph to mutter, “this is fucking ridiculous, this is bullshit, I’m so fucking mad, please update sooooooooooon,” then it isn’t a slow burn. It is a romance and that is a lovely thing but. Slow burns should feel like being set on fire unto your death but the tinder is people not kissing and the spark is people who don’t admit they love each other and the whole thing is. You know. Slow.
CORRECT
I once read a slow burn where the main pairing didn’t even speak to each other ontil 80k words in
This is the funniest fucking thing I’ve ever read and the only true slow burn fic
So, my original novel - which is based on a fic of mine - is 113,000 words long. The first kiss doesn’t take place until after 92,000 words. Does that qualify?
