Reclusive Creation – journals for you
GUYS. I DID IT!
My Etsy shop for journals is here.
Go take a look and place an order if you want. Currently I’m only shipping within the US, but I’ll look at shipping internationally as well, if everything works out.
Starting stock includes Black Widow, Agent Carter, Hawkeye, Captain America, and Winter Soldier. More designs will follow. Pictures below the cut.
I did not turn on custom requests, but if you have a character you would like to see a journal for, send me an ask and I will consider it.
Please check it out and even if you can’t afford anything yourself, a signal boost would be phenomonal.
Side Note To Fan Fic Authors
Here’s the thing.
I read a lot of scripts. A lot. From professionals to aspiring writers to complete newbies. Features and pilots. Specs and treatments.
And 8 times out of 10 the fan fic that I’ve read over the last, oh, 15 years is leagues better than this stuff. It’s more inspired. It’s more compelling. It’s genre bending and creative and heartfelt. It’s well-paced and intense and funny and sexy and meaningful. It’s smart and thoughtful and good. It’s novel-quality. Better than, sometimes.
Rare is the script I don’t want to put down, but how often have we stayed up until 3am to get to the last chapter of a 100k fic? And it’s not even a fan fic author’s day job. This is what they do on the side. In their spare time. For free.
So my point is, fan fic authors, you’re good. You’re good writers and great storytellers. I know it doesn’t always feel like it, especially if you’re one of the authors who’s not a BNF and doesn’t get the notes/hits that a few do. And because some people still view fic as “not real writing.” You guys know the shit that gets made into movies. You’re better than that. So be better than that. If writing is what you think want to do, then just know you’re already doing it. You’ve already started.
And you’re more talented than you might think.
To all of my writer friends. This is so fucking true. <3
