I haven't written in a while until now. Sorry about that, guys. I crashed hard, which I kinda expected after all the work I did with the og Teachers' Pet AU. I'm gonna try to write a bit more often. Thanks for sticking around.

Hi. It's Odd-Assist.
          
          Can I have some help with something? Something weird is happening with my account and I can't get help from the Reddit mods or help website.

Odd-Assist

@Americanbruvver Thanks for that. Is it okay if we talk about other stuff here?

@Odd-Assist From what I can see, it looks like your account was made null. Which means you got banned by Reddit admins. You'll have to appeal if you want that account back.

Yo wassup
          
          Really enjoyed Teacher's Pet! My personal favorite part was when Claire was drooling like a true Bloomie.

Americanbruvver

@LordShinic She learned from the best, lol. Thanks for reading. Your comments were funny.

Heya! I drew a little something for you and your au! I wanted to ask where I could give it to you since its digital :P

Americanbruvver

@Totallynot_Brain_ded That's so nice of you! Thank you. I'm most active on Reddit if you wanna show me it there. I don't have any active social media other than that.

Didn't knew you were on Wattpat lol. Happy to see you here since I loved your teachers pet AU (Although it seems that is way more famous in AO3 than here.)
          
          Still can't wait to see what you are cooking for later! (Fun fact your series is what brought me to this fandom)

Americanbruvver

@DrouzATheRed You're good, don't worry. It's crazy that a fic can do that. I always thought someone would have to be into the fandom already to want to read fanfics.

@Americanbruvver Sorry if it's not my place to step in and say something, but I've seen this happen multiple times on the AO3 sub. More often than not, you get members of a community that have spawned because of fanfiction.

@BigBadDude666AgencyA Thank you! Yeah, maybe it would have done better if I went to Wattpad from the beginning. I completed it on AO3 a couple of months before porting it over to Wattpad.
            
            I've never heard of a fanfic getting someone into a fandom before lol, but it makes me happy. I'll keep cooking!

bruv i love the one shot chapter 3 did you see my message idea from days ago

user16187392

i really hope i don't abbie past but he had good family but possibly bad childhood with no help even the teacher

Americanbruvver

@user16187392 Yeah, I saw it. I don't know if I will do that idea exactly, but there will be chapters with Circle & Abbie, Thavel & Zip, and Bloomie & Claire.

Hey Bruv.. I know kinda random but I need some advice on my fic QwQ
          So.. I dont really know how to go on at the moment and I really really wanna kill Holden already but I want to put it on like maybe chapter 19 or 20 I just dont know how to fill it all in.
          I feel like I am speeding up my story timeline a little.
          I planned a lot more sure but I also really want to have about 30 parts as well and I was hoping you could maybe give me some advice. 

Totallynot_Brain_ded

@Americanbruvver 
            THANK YOU SMMMMMM Cuz I was really loosing ideas.
            I think the story is getting sped up a lot because I have future plans for after everything to include war and the small extras are actually still part of the chapter just for a small side story such as for the Engward ship thats coming up.
            I have quite the ideas for what happens after the main parts of trauma and killing so I am excited to share more thoughts with you!
            Your advice helped a lot though and I am taking it! Thanks Bruv I appreciate it dude <3

Americanbruvver

@Totallynot_Brain_ded Oh god, I'm horrible with advice. Umm, I don't know how to fill in that many chapters, but what you could do next is focus on the trauma and how it affects Claire's ability to work. You also have Bubble, too, since she was also attacked. There could be an interesting dynamic there.
            
            Find what characters you wanna focus on (mine would be the teachers) and think about slowly getting them to see what's wrong with Claire (and maybe the students with Bubble). Your story does go a little bit faster, which is fine, btw. But you also have a lot of side stories that you can explore too. I hope that helps at least a little bit! ♥︎

hello i have idea one shot for the next chapter can you do make abbie, claire, and zip together meeting alongside with the teachers when claire and zip encourage abbie making math test go high like circle and possible a mini weapon making him like mini male circle and claire being bloomie and finally zip like thavel because she is a dragon and thavel is a wendigo making mini teachers or teacher pets trio for the chapter

DrouzATheRed

@user16187392 im not sure if you use AO3, but I believe he has tagged "Miss Thavel & Zip" on the fanfic over there. Expect to see a "Teacher's Pet" connection with those two later down the road if not on the next chapter.

I haven't felt confident with my writing lately, and I'm feeling disheartened. I know I'm not the best writer, but having my shortcomings pointed out to me hurts more than I imagined it would.
          
          It's okay, though. I just need thicker skin when it comes to criticism, which I'll get over time. I'm just in a temporary slump, so I'm sorry for the delay this will cause the next chapter. See ya later.  

Americanbruvver

@DrouzATheRed Thanks for the support! I also wanna say that I don't hate anyone who gave me criticism. They're allowed to say their opinion, and I'll respect them and treat them as kind as everyone else.

@Americanbruvver I tend to excuse "lazy" writing on first attempts, so whatever there is that I would consider low quality is not an issue to me (however that might be me setting my standards too low).
            
            That being said, I don't think what happened in the story is the result of lazy excuses, in fact that's the whole point of fanfiction to begin with; to write something obscure based on headcanons. And with the 'Miss Bloomie & Claire' familial ship being popularised, I'm pretty sure the teaming is from those that don't like that ship. Because of you, it's actually my favourite fanship in FPE and it really upset me with how untapped it was, so I'm glad it's finally getting the attention it deserves.
            
            I'm glad you're still doing okay regardless. And I agree, getting piled on by a community for something you thought was a fun experience, especially if it was a niche concept done right.
            
            Thank you for coming to my ted talk and I wish you the best on your days :)

@DrouzATheRed Nah, don't worry. A comment about a typo is nothing lol. The criticism was all from reddit. The person saying my ideas were lazy excuses, someone else saying the plot wasn't good or interesting, me getting teamed on for apparently "popularizing" Bloomie&Claire, etc. It shouldn't bother me since it's my fic, and canon can be whatever the hell I want. But I guess all of it happening in a short time just sorta got to me. It hurts when you work on something for months because you want everyone to like it, y'know? Don't worry, though. I'll be fine and back to normal in no time.
