Writer: this is one of my male characters! he cares about his guy friends and loves them deeply.

Writer: this is one of my male characters! is a viral tumblr post on the topic of male friendship and criticizing m/m shipping. The post and its most popular reblogs have been heavily criticized as homophobic. The original post, now deleted, dates to September 2017 or before. By August 30, 2018, it had 103,234 notes, including 55,620 likes and 47,543 reblogs.An example of a reblog. The original post is no longer up. As of May 15, 2021, it has 313,736 notes: 155,468 likes and 158,181 reblogs. This includes over 4200 reblogs or replies with content.
The post drew many positive responses from tumblr users who felt that women over-sexualize gay men as well as a few pointing out the flagrant homophobic assumptions underlying the argument. Responses touched on fans demanding that their ships be made canon, tumblr being full of shipping, arguments about how much representation there should be in professional media, and call-outs of the original poster for reblogging homophobic conservative Christian content, 20 August 2019..
Typical criticisms of the post are that:
* Depictions of male friendship are actually very common and include the entire buddy movie genre
* Men are afraid to "seem gay" because of homophobia, not shippers on tumblr

Writers, Readers, Feedback, and Love

Writers, Readers, Feedback, and Love is a 2008 essay by starwatcher307.
Sadly, someone has deleted their comments from the conversation, but enough of them are quoted that following along isn't too difficult. The fan who deleted their comments also deleted their fanworks off the internet during this discussion.
This post was referenced in Amateur Hour, or Feedback is Not Currency by princessofgeeks, and it references a post by fluterbev that was public at the time, but no longer is.
==Some Topics Discussed==
* the role of feedback
* why fans write
* does feedback equal love? 
* is feedback a gift?
* does feedback equal payment for a story and does the "construct frequently leads to hard feelings -- why did this story get more feedback than that story, when "that" story is so much longer / better / more worthy? It must be a plot! Collusion! Conspiracy! Sockpuppets!"
* WIPs
* privacy and visibility and the Patriot Act (American)

Writestuff

Writestuff is a fan author and publisher of zines. 
She's been a fan of Star Wars since 1977, and very much a fan of The Phantom Menace. Writestuff also wrote in Starsky and Hutch, Highlander, and Three Musketeers fandoms. 
She wrote both standalone stories and an ongoing series of Star Wars Prequel-centric slash fanfic called The Warrior's Heart begun in 2000, which now runs to five volumes and 59 stories and is still a WIP. 
Her first Star Wars fic publication was a gen story in the zine Against the Sith #7 called "A Revelation According to Han."
 
==Phantom Menace==
She turned to slash writing in 2000 after seeing The Phantom Menace. The first three volumes of The Warrior's Heart (Early Days, Trials and Errors, and What Was Old is New Again were published in zine form by Two Vixens Press, in which she was a partner with Kath Moonshine. 
Two Vixens also published two standalone zines, co-authored with Kath Moonshine, Noumena and the The Ka-Mnemon of Obi-Wan Kenobi. 
The Ka-Mnemon was also produced as a handmade, handbound journal in a boxed set of artifacts auctioned for charity at MediaWest*Con. It won the 2004 FanQ Award for "Best Stand-Alone Star Wars Slash Zine." 
The major deviation in Warrior's Heart is that #Qui-GonLives, and from there it veers wildly into original fic with somebody else's characters. 
This is also true of the standalone stories, especially the most recent new series, the Yooperverse, which is a modern day AU. Two standalone stories written as responses to stories by Gloriana, "A Distant Refuge" and "A Matter of Discipline," also ignore canon and can be considered AUs. 
After a five-year hiatus starting around 2015, she rejoined fandom by joining a Discord server and then serving on the Passion & Serenity: A QuiObi Compendium committee, doing layout and zine design.

Writing Believable Jossverse Fluff

Writing Believable Jossverse Fluff is a meta essay-how-to by Kaz814. It was posted to Double Indemnity is the first Wesley & Lilah site on the Internet.
"I hear you saying, "Believable Jossverse Fluff? Is there such a thing?" Yes, there is! However, I have a few suggestions on how to write believable Jossverse fluff."
==Main Points==
: 1) Always have proper characterization of the characters
: 2) Have a good, in-depth fluffy plot with the "right" ending
: 3) Don't want to write a long fic? Try a vignette!
: 4) Go with the tried and true romance
: 5) Or eschew the well-trodden path and ignore the romance

Writing Meme

Writing memes are lists of writing prompts found on tumblr. People participate in writing memes for a number of reasons, to increase the content of their favorite series, characters or ships, to fight Writer's Block or just for fun. Users that want to participate reblog the masterlist of prompts, which are usually numbered or labelled with icons to make things easier. They then ask their followers to send them a ship or a character and a number or prompt through the Tumblr Ask Box and they'll write an oneshot with it. After finishing their piece, the author posts it on their tumblr blog by replying to the ask. Fanfics generated on Tumblr Writing Memes are often crossposted on AO3.
Sometimes writing memes don't involve asks, and are just created as an on-going writing challenge where authors are meant to fill all the prompts, but still can be used as a tumblr ask box writing meme. Writing memes created for specific fandoms can also be reblogged to be done with different fandoms from the originally intented one. RP Starters memes also make good Tumblr Ask Box Writing memes.

Writing More Women into the Narrative

Writing More Women into the Narrative is a trope in Hamilton fandom. It refers to the practice of taking actual historical women (usually with ties to at least one canon character) who were around during the time of Hamilton canon, and imagining what their characters would be like if they were in the musical or part of a Hamilton expanded universe.
==Scope==
This trope includes any fanwork which imagines a Hamilton-universe characterization/appearance of a woman from that era of history, and any fanwork in Hamilton fandom which includes her as a character.
==Common Characters==
* Theodosia Sr. (wife of Aaron Burr)
* Martha Washington (wife of George Washington)
* Theodosia Jr. (daughter of Aaron Burr)
* Angelica Hamilton (daughter of Alexander Hamilton & Eliza Schuyler)
* Frances Laurens (daughter of John Laurens)
* Dolley Madison (wife of James Madison)
* Adrienne de Lafayette (wife of the Marquis de Lafayette)
* Martha Manning (wife of John Laurens)
In Modern AUs, this trope often involves learning the woman's surname from before marriage; for example:
* Theodosia Bartow (Prevost Burr)
* Dolley Payne (Todd Madison)
* Adrienne de Noailles (Marquise de Lafayette)
==Example Fanworks==
===Canon Era===

Writing Star Trek Fiction: Advice from A.C. Crispin

Writing Star Trek Fiction: Advice from A.C. Crispin is an essay by Ann Miller.
It was printed in Genesis.

The essay included many "dos and don'ts" for fans, which were mostly repeats of what Trek tie-in publishers had already hammered home. See Bantam Books.
