Do you have any advice on how you choose which fic idea to write next? I want whatever the next Gravity Falls fic I write next to be one of the many long fic ideas my brain has thrown at me but I'm having trouble picking
God if you figure out how to choose please tell me.
No but seriously, start on whichever one you like fleshing out the most. Flesh it out and then decide if that one IS the one you want to write right this minute, and dont be afraid to bounce around! Writing different things at once is better that forcing yourself i to one thing until you dont want to write at all anymore

unless they specifically asked, you don’t get to tell a fanfic writer you think they mischaracterized the character by the way. because the second someone writes a fanfic about a character, that character becomes the writer’s own version of the character. canon is only a suggestion, but whether or not an author will follow it / how much of canon an author will take is entirely up to them. you don’t get to stick your nose in their world and tell them “hey this is not to my liking therefore I think you’re doing it wrong” when you can simply leave quietly and move on to something else you may enjoy
Meet the classics
Hey I’m the Stan is earth anon and I just had a brilliant idea! What if the symbiotic relationship isn’t sea creatures but an anchor and sail? They are both needed to keep a boat functional, and while I can see Stan as the sail, I also see him as the anchor cause he makes sure that ford doesn’t fly to close to the sun + I see a lot of fics about Stan being able to tell Bill sucks. Ford would be the sail, cause when Stan and Ford were apart (I know that being kicked out has a major part of this too) Stan was stuck, and couldn’t really function super well. Plus the whole “Stan is riding on Ford’s coattail” thing fits with the anchor, cause the anchor does hold the boat in place, but without it the boat would be unsafe. Also the “Stan isn’t going anywhere in life” also works because Stan on his (being the anchor) cannot travel anywhere! Anyways I was rewriting lyrics and came up with this :)
Ooh I love that. Ford is Stan's sun but Stan is Fords anchor. Too very different ways of viewing each other, as Ford gives Stan life and meaning, while Stan helps Ford be safe and keeps him grounded, but can be twisted to be seen as a bad thing. Stan thinks Ford can survive on his own, but really Ford just kept going and going and couldn't stop until he crashed. Ford thought Stan would be stable and fine, but he was isolated and alone.
Very nice.
Stobotnik is conceptually the funniest ship to ever exist. It’s a gay ship with the villain from sonic the hedgehog and his fruity assistant who was supposed to be a bit charecter until Jim Carrey asked if he could stick his fingers in the other guy’s mouth and oh yeah Jim Carrey is there. Said bit character simped so hard for Jim Carrey that his role was expanded on in the sequels to the point where it becomes an emotional plot point in the climax of the third movie. They’re doomed by the narrative. They’re main goal in life is to kill Dewey from ducktales. there is a good chance that fruity ass assistant man could go mad with grief over losing Jim Carrey to the point of becoming the villain of the fourth movie.
like you can’t make this shit up. It’s fucking beautiful. Jim carrey’s dead cousin is right humanity is a gift.
au where sonic and silver end up on the ark because i say so

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood
Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man
the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal
So...did u get deja vu?
