NOT THE RECTANGLE!!! @skyqueen3
Tumblr, that was just rude not letting them see the hug. :(
FanFiction.net is not gone.
Right now it's a victim of DNS (Domain Name Service) spoofing. This means that a malicious party is trying to steal traffic from FFn by purchasing a very similar domain.
So if you want to read fanfiction and not see leaves, you have have to type out "www.fanfiction.net".
Please share so people stop panicking.

Hey, are you an artist or writer with WIPs?
Come here... I got a secret for you pssst come ‘ere
waiting in deep suspense
Psst you ready here comes the secret
Here it comes
I am also very curious about this secret
Your time spent enjoying the creative process is infinitely more valuable that any final project you create. So stop putting yourself down for never finishing or posting those WIPs because every moment you spent creating something you loved is a moment not wasted. Your progress and talent is measured by your passion not your number of posts.
This post went from 3k to 7k overnight and that just goes to show how many of you need to hear this so make sure you don’t ever forget it
What is... a rarepair?
Rarepair refers to a rare pairing inside a fandom. This means that a pairing that someone ships does not have a lot of fanart or fanfiction about them or anything at all.
While crackships are always rarepairs, these rare pairings can make a lot of sense in canon, but they are just not that popular. But they often also refer to shipping characters that do not interact in canon at all, maybe not even know each other in the source material.
There are no exact numbers on when a pairing is considered a rarepair but some characteristics are that the tag on AO3 does not have a lot of hits and that most of the entries were written by the same person.
Shipping a rarepair can be frustrating, when you feel like you are alone in your love for a pairing, but it can also be fun to be able to shape the pairing together with two, three other shippers however you want them, because you basically own the ship by solely contributing to it.
Once again here to bring you stupid memes to illustrate my point.
Tell me about your rarepair. You're also welcome to illustrate your point.
Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?
Well, have I got the html for you!
Plop any of these in a comment (by copy&pasting the code) to make an author's day and show your appreciation!
- Second kudos:

let me tell you, I got a ‘kisses your forehead’ kudos and it absolutely made my day
a little secret when it comes to shipping
You know you're not restricted to shipping only characters that have had at least one conversation in canon, right?
I've got ships that have yet to meet in canon and ships that never will (different fandoms, one of them is canonically dead, etc).
Why do I ship them? I think they'd be good together, that's all it boils down to.
How do I ship them? Easy, I take my knowledge of each character's personality and use my imagination to decide how they would interact.
It opens up a world of possibilities.
Oww, I just found out one of the people I liked here deactivated. :(
Saw a post like this with negative outlook so I asked for it to be fixed
