I know that more of you have started following in the last few weeks, and it’s just crazy! Some of you follow my personal blog, but how did the rest of you find out about this blog?
It just blows my mind!
In any case, welcome!

I am. I guess I’m sticking around until the end. *sigh*

i am!
I’m pretty much in it until the end. I was just wondering, since TMF herself had essentially stopped watching the show before season three even started, that maybe that carried over to her readers, you know?

I’m not. Will watch Glee Tumblr edition, though :)
Isn’t that the preferred edition? Haha

I’m not planing on it, but I might watch, if tumblr gives positive reviews once the show starts
Totally understandable. Maybe season four will start and all of Tumblr will rejoice that “Glee is back!”. But probably not.

I guess I am, I mean I heard Lea was coming back. Plus I need something to look forward to after marching band practice
Dude, marching band practice. Is it on Thursday? Because my band practice used to be on Thursday, so maybe that’s just like a universal day for marching band practice.
Anyway, cool.
Just out of curiosity.
How many of you are planning to watch season 4?

14sarah asked: Let me clarify... I didn't hate "Quinn married Finn". I hated how it made me feel and what it made me think. I call it a nightmare because the stupid thing kept me from sleeping. Anything that evokes that emotion in my stone cold heart... is amazing. I don't want happy endings, I want real storytelling.

RE: Beantowngleek's Submission
I have a lot to say about this post.
First, I agree that the decline of the fandom has been really disheartening.
As the second half of the third season began, many people declared that they would stop watching Glee once the season ended, choosing instead to exclusively turn to fandom contributions for their Glee needs—in the way of fics, manips, etc. However, many of the contributors to...

How bad, really, is the loss of TMF to the fandom?
I suspect it’s increasingly hard for any Glee fanfic writer to continue to write — I definitely have no motivation to continue/ complete my half-finished ideas. If you extend that thought, it’s unlikely that TMF, having broken away so neatly, will ever write Glee fanfic again — and that is an extremely depressing idea to digest.
I’ve been trying to put this in...

seekingoutfriday asked: Hit right in the gut! Ah! The person didn't like "Quinn married Finn" fic which is my favorite! Lots of sadness right now. Oh well, it's only fair. I went after their favorite story. All is fair in love and fanfiction.

14sarah asked: Hunger Games fic was one of her best works. I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. And now that you've posted that Ask, I will be thinking about again. TMF evoked such huge emotion both good and bad... she makes people think. The only other fic ever to make me so mad was her "Quinn married to Finn" nightmare. And every time I think about those I am reminded of Joss Whedon...

alexacadia asked: my least favorite would probably be these strange steps... whoops, i know that's a really popular one. i just connected so much to aocc and to ECFC that it seemed a little lackluster in comparison. i did get into her works much later though, and i think reading everything retroactively probably influenced how i saw her writing.

seekingoutfriday asked: This question could be bad. And start a war. But I shall answer anyway. The Hunger Games fic I wasn't WOO about. I don't like crossovers at all, and I'm not a fan of AU. It takes a lot for me to be engaged in AU stories, and I think TMF did a lot better job with her other AU stories than the Hunger Games/Glee fic. Not to say it was badly written, because it wasn't. It just...

necessaryyetconfusingtangents asked: Hey, I just wanted to drop by and ask if anyone had any clue what happened to tumf's orinal fiction project "eights and tens". I know that it was up when she took a break from FF, and I think it went down right around the time she started posting again. I really enjoyed what I had read, and was just curious if anyone had any more information on it. Thanks

TMF and Post-HS New Directions
Something I noticed in TMF’s stories is that, for the most part, the characters end up going on to attend some pretty prestigious colleges and/or other quality post-high school programs/opportunities.
Most of them end up being pretty successful. Well, except for Finn—most of the time he sort of evaporates.
They don’t always take advantage of these opportunities, but they are...

Is there a TMF story you don't like?
Why?

seekingoutfriday asked: Haha I liked how you compared it to TSS, because I was the one who didn't think Faberry would end up together in the long run. Anyhoo, fleshed out characters are good. It's needed. It just can't seem toooo OOC. I dunno. I'd just have to actually read a fic like that and see (aside from the oneshots I like, which you already know about.)

seekingoutfriday asked: (continuation of message just sent) So basically, for me to read Quinntana, it has to be super emotional and psychological and about two incredibly messed up people coming together and just creating an even bigger mess. They would not be a happy couple.

Seekingoutfriday Submitted:
I’m picky because I personally can not see them in a functional, healthy romantic relationship. There is a reason people call them frenemies. They are characters who will stab each other in the back (As we have seen) for their personal gain and then be sweet to them the next day. A relationship would be highly dysfunctional and all push and pull with no compromise. They would tear each other...

seekingoutfriday answered your question: Question Time.
I absolutely adored her friendship Quinntana (especially in ECFC) but couldn’t get into it romantically. I’m very picky about that pairing.
Since this is an attempt at discussion, would you care to elaborate? :D
Picky in what ways?

Question Time.
Hey, wow, over 80 followers! That is awesome!
Sorry there haven’t been many posts lately. I have been (surprisingly) busy!
So. I know TMF wrote very little romantic-Quinntana, but it’s been on my mind lately. I mean, most well written Quinn-centric fics can’t go without fleshing out the Quinntana dynamic within the narrative, and vice versa.
I suppose my question here is...

This person had a lot to say, and it would be unfair to ignore them.
Clearly, there are some things that need to be addressed.

Within Glee, characters have had to state if they are gay or straight. So far, those characters have been: Brittany, Santana, Karofsky, Sebastian, Kurt, Blaine, Finn, Puck, Sam, Will, Sue, and Beiste. Out of the main students, the only ones which have not outright said an orientation have been Quinn, Rachel, Artie, Mike, and Tina. And with Quinn’s insane and inconsistent characterization...

Anonymous asked: I don't think you're using canon and fanon correctly, and that's the problem here. You can't have a canonical interpretation, there's just an interpretation. And that's fanon. As far as the show is concerned, Quinn's orientation is unstated, but she's been sexually active with at least one male. She also touched Santana's ass, and she stated she's...

Would you guys hate me if I turned the Anon function off? It’s just that I can’t tell if you are all different or if you are the same person…and it’s messing with me head.
I mean, I won’t, but there’s no reason to be Anon.

Anonymous asked: quinn being gay in some of tmf's stories has exactly nothing to do with quinn's orientation on the show. regarding in character, there is a difference between making a story that makes a ludicrous non-canon premise (ie bodyswap, tss) believable by giving seriously changed characters some recognizable traits, and attempting to write characters just as they are on the show. idk why...

Anonymous asked: re: tmf's opinions on quinn, the first glee thing she wrote was ecfc. she never thought quinn 'was gay', people just assume she did because she wrote her as gay. basically, she just started writing faberry to experiment with writing rachel before writing a big rachel segment of ecfc. she referred to her faberry as rachel/original character all the time, because fanon gay quinn is...

Anonymous asked: a discussion about quinn's canon sexuality that results in universal agreement that 'she should've been gay' on a tmf fan blog of all places is probably the most ironic thing i've seen in glee fandom in a while

yes dear lord yes why is this even a question
Some people think she’s best as straight.
I don’t know any of those people personally, but I know they exist. I was just wondering if any of them followed this blog.
