i hate this so much but this knowledge is too powerful to keep from you all.

last night @phaltu discovered that setting your font to comic sans in google docs improves writing speed and creativity by an insane amount. “no” i said and “die” but then i tried it and god. i wish it wasn’t this way. i wish it wasn’t true. i wish i could protect you all from this but it’s real. 

something about this font is so disarming. something about this font lets you look past the shape of the words and into their soul. i’ve never written so much as i did last night, on my phone, at 2am, in comic sans.

if you have writer’s block. if you lack inspiration. if you need this. don’t be afraid to use it. sometimes the things we find most horrifying are also the things we need the most. trust me. let comic sans into your life.

it’s true

Im gonna try this soon… 

I’ll update with my findings. 

FUN FACT Comic Sans is a dyslexic-friendly font!  Its lettering is styilized in a way that makes it easier to read:

(b and d and e and a are always the hardest ones to differentiate for me)

And for extra comparison:

(I keep feeling like I spelt handwritting wrong but ok.)

A lot of the slight newuances are there to help streamline reading and comprehention, and prevent letter flipping/rotation.

SO I’m assuming that some of the reason that it’s so easy to write with is becuase it’s BUILT to be easy to write with. There’s other fonts like it if you guys hate comic sans and wanna try out something like this….but I can’t remember which ones…..Just look up “Dyslexia friendly fonts” or somethin. (although I always liked Comic Sans and the font is actually the victum of cronic contextual misuse-but that’s another discussion.)

Regardless of:

  • If your fanfic is nowhere near canon.
  • If you wrote an AU
  • If your characters aren’t totally “in character”
  • If your fic gets 2 kudos or 2000 kudos
  • If you’re just starting out on your writing journey or
  • If you’re a published/established author who writes fanfiction to chill.

Your efforts are valid.

Your stories are valid.

You are valid.

The value of your fanfiction is based not on how close to canon you can get it, nor how much value (or lack thereof) content creators/show staff believe it to have, but how happy it made you feel to write it.

“I will remember the kisses our lips raw with love and how you gave me everything you had and how I offered you what was left of me, and I will remember your small room the feel of you the light in the window your records your books our morning coffee our noons our nights our bodies spilled together sleeping the tiny flowing currents immediate and forever your leg my leg your arm my arm your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again.”
