For the record?
Shakespeare wrote fanfic. Tolkien wrote RPF AUs. Every Disney or Marvel movie you’ve ever seen is fanart, and so is Sherlock, and so is nearly every religious work from the European Renaissance.
Don’t pretend your fanfic or fanart isn’t a real contribution. Unless you don’t think West Side Story and Wicked and Hamilton are works of art. And if so, you’re just wrong.
That’s just my opinion.
This! This right here!
sometimes fan fiction is a love letter to a piece of media.
sometimes it’s a strongly-worded demand for custody of the characters.
Give me the charcters of Firefly! You aren’t using them!
Just finished rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender. It will forever be one of my favorite shows. Thank you for being so amazing.
This is a ASL story about two very different boys. The older, Tom, is a little misguided. The younger, Jake, is a twelve year old boy with a lot of stubborn bravery.
I just love detailed, logical responses to dumb statements. Makes me respect the human race a little more.
ASL Tip #6: When signing ASL you have to remember the most important rule. ASL is NOT English! You don't just translate an English sentence into sign. You change the order of the words as well. For example when signing the English question "How many hours do you sleep?", you sign in the order of "Sleep you hours how many?". The action or main subject of the sentence goes first, then who your talking about, then the unit in question (hours, minutes, inches), then finally the wh-question that would go in the beginning of an English sentence.
ASL Tip #5: If asking where the water would be, sign "I need water" in that order. If you are really desperate for some water, sign "Water I need" in that order (Remember to show on your face the desperation. It's a part of it too!).
ASL Tip #4: When signing "question" your index finger needs to be turned so that the nail is facing you and the back of the finger in towards the people around you. When signing "understand" the opposite is true. (I.e. the nail faces towards the people and the back of the finger faces you.)
ASL Tip #3: The signs for the Space Needle in Seattle and the Eiffel Tower in Paris are the same. If you are near one of these land marks then you need to use a clarification sign with it. (I.e. When in Washington state you can simply sign the Space Needle no problem, but if you want to sign the Eiffel Tower you need to add the sign for French as well to clarify which landmark you mean.)
ASL Tip #2: When asking wh- questions your eyebrows must be furrowed and while asking yes/no questions your eyebrows must be lifted.
Hey people I have never met before! I just finished my first college bound American Sign Language class. I thought you Tumblr stalkers would enjoy seeing the things I wrote on my board during class. Just a few tips on ASL grammar. Your welcome. Tip # 1: When signing a gender term (Such as boyfriend/girlfriend or mother/father) always use the top half of your face for male terms and the bottom half of your face for female terms.

Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester
Rating: Explicit
Summary: Sam jerks awake in the middle of the night and everything goes to hell. Well, not literally, though Dean is staring down the barrel of less than a year before his deal comes due. In the midst of dealing (or not dealing) with his impending death, a killer ghost ship, and Bela showing up out of the blue, Dean also has to figure out what’s going on in Sam’s head to make him so twitchy, why he’s suddenly breezing through this case while writing endless notes in a notebook he won’t let Dean see. Damn it, Dean thinks, This is gonna take a lot of chick flick moments.
Word Count: 38,400
A riveting reboot of Sam and Dean’s greatest hits from season three with a nice side of time travel thrown in. I give it 3.9 out of 5 stars!

Word Count: 15,759
An alternate universe where being a girl doesn’t make Sam turn into something he’s not. I give it 3.8 out of 5 stars!
