USEFUL WEBSITES FOR WRITERS

Wer kann schon ohne Liebe sein?/Who can be without love?

Even in a relationship as doomed as the de Winters’, there are the moments in between the shouting matches, away from the betrayal, there are those tiny grains of affection and hope, where Mr. and Mrs. de Winter can get it together, in the face of situations more disastrous than their marriage.

Not every moment in the two decades of marriage was hostile, and we’re here, cherry picking the good bits, to imagine them in a collection of fluffy one-shots.

It couldn’t have all been bad, right? Right?!?

Hi! You gave me the link to Ludwig 2 on Bilibili- thank you so much!!!!! The video title says that it should have English subtitles, but I can't figure out how to turn them on... do you know? Thank you again, I'm really looking forward to watching it!!

Friendly reminder that AO3 is fighting AI data scrapers on behalf of all fanfic writers!

According to the post below, AO3 issued a DMCA takedown after finding out that all works before March 2025 were scraped and uploaded as a dataset to potentially train AI. The ability to take legal action against scum like this is the direct result of people donating to AO3 so they can keep functioning and they don't pocket any of it because they are a non-profit organization.

So when you see the AO3 donation drives, please remember that this is what the money is going toward and support it when you can!

I want to be able to eat pine cones. They look so tasty and crunchy, I want to put them in my mouth. I want to nibble on them while watching a movie or reading a book or sitting by a bonfire. I want to eat them like biscuits with tea and as a snack on a long drive. I yearn for the crunch. I want to eat pine cones. Let me eat pine cones!

Rebecca Dream Cast

As "Rebecca das Musical" connoisseurs™, @edgyparrot and I cooked something up.

We've seen a lot of different versions (never enough) and now we're basically deciding who's best at the characters and putting them in one dream cast.

Ich: Nienke Latten (only from the Wilemijn cast, not with Mark)

Maxim de Winter: Jan Ammann

Mrs Danvers: Pia Douwes (@edgyparrot's love)

Beatrice Lacy: Kerstin Ibald (my love)

Giles Lacy: Raphael Dörr

Frank Crawley: Jörg Neubauer (the chemistry with Jan, omg)

Jack Favell: Hannes Staffler/ Mark Seibert (I know he's theoretically never played Jack, but he basically plays Maxim how I imagine Jack to be, and let's be honest, he would slay)

Ben: Daniele Nonnis

Mrs van Hopper: Isabel Dörfler (our queen <3)

Frith: Matthias Graf

Robert: (forgot his name, will look it up later)

Clarice: Christina Patten

We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments (but accept no criticism :))

Look it’s misus Danvs
