He's Jacked I Know It In My Heart

OKAY OkAy BUT a fanfic about cheri stealing a cedf ship after being enlisted and finding thrawn with Ezra and what's left of the Chimera and then Ezra teachers her to be a jedi and omg she gets conflicted about her idol thrawn because he's SO different. He like BIG BAD now. EZRA is talking mad crap saying how thrawn bombed lothal and totally let a guy EXPLODE. And Thrawns all like "but it's for the good of the Ascendancy che'ri. Empire lesser evil bleh blew bleh" and Che'ri is all like "dood wtf you literally saved a species from extinction. And Ar'alani definitely told me about that morse code shit that one time in the Greater Good Book) and she re- sensitzes thrawn (that's not even a word be like you know what I mean). OMG I should learn to be a story teller. God dayum im on a ROLL

Somebody with talent steal my ideas. Make them your own. Make them 💫sparkle💫

He sure did put up with a lot. The man has the patience of a saint.

Does anyone have any good Transformers fanfic recs set in the Bayverse where Crosshairs and Drift are together and Drift lets out a little Deadlock?

Actually scratch that, it doesn't even have to be good recs.

Mossy don't stop drawing them in modern clothing

"Why is a raven like a writings desk?"

Suddenly remembered that Thrawn went from cadet to Grand Admiral in 12 years in a alien hating society. Icon.

Thalias is all of us at any given moment.

Thalias: falls for an unreachable, unbelievably smart, and incredibly strong man

Thalias: devotes life to protecting and helping said man

Thalias: realizes that he is unattainable (and that she can't fix him)

Thalias: works on herself

Thalias: becomes a better version of herself

Thalias: falls for an absolute hunk of a man this time with ✨emotional availability✨

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.

I looked up "Thrawn/reader" fics on AO3 and what do you mean there are only 252!!? Only 5,874 under "Thrawn." Have I been gaslighting myself into thinking he's more popular than he is? Like I know the Thrawn Fandom is niche but I didn't expect there to be a real possibility of running out of content.
