.… oh no
Remember how there was a new fic on the stucky scene that was basically a pithier, better-written, infinitely more succinct version of like everything I’ve been writing for the last year and a half? And I was sort of jealous of it and couldn’t make myself rec it?
(Bucky’s a Tupac fan in it, and I made him a Biggie fan, but there was a bunch of other stuff that we really resonated on.)
And the other day I got all excited about figuring out where I’m going with my current WIP and posted a snippet that had Daredevil in it? Spoiler, because I was gonna use him for the POV char I needed for bridge scenes with Natasha not present, since the whole conceit of FOG is Not Bucky’s POV.
Guess which fic just updated and Daredevil and Bucky meet up in this latest chapter? And it’s Matt’s POV of course.
Whoever this person is they are somehow on my exact wavelength and BETTER AT IT.
I can console myself I guess that they’re way more popular than me so no one will care? At least they’ll never read my shit and get mad that I stole their shit. I just.
At first I was kind of pleased that this person’s headcanons were so much like mine but now I’m just sad.
I mean, they’re better at it than I am. And the point of writing for me is that I can then read the story. So if they’re just writing the story I would have, then what’s the point?
I mean, mine has more Natasha. It’s not totally the same story. But Jesus. Every good idea. And this is a total fandom newcomer with no Tumblr. We’d never intersect. We’re clearly coming from totally different places.
I’m aware I’m overreacting. I’m just having a hard day and that just socked me right in the gut. Of all things. Maybe it’s become a common buddy pairing and I just hadn’t noticed. But the whole wavelength, the whole zeitgeist.
Man I don’t know, I’m a horrorshow today.
