i was just about to grab my phone to read fanfiction and it hit me: we really get ALL this reading material for FREE. like dude. we really get to pick and choose what we are in the mood of reading thanks to the time and sweat and people's love for something and dedication and we don't have to do nothin' to get it but be grateful and appreciative!!!!!!! that's just fucking beautiful don't y'all think?

Think about it long time.

if you ever doubt that your ao3 comments matter or mean something: i have been struggling with my writing for 6 months straight, crying myself to sleep afraid that i will never be able to write again, that the thing i love most in the world has left me, that my writing is just gone
this morning i got this comment:
and after i stopped blubbering over it, i picked up my writing notebook, and re-read all my fic research, and opened up my document again for the first time in weeks without being afraid of it
you have no idea how much writers treasure every single comment we get. you have no idea how big an impact you can have. sometimes, just sometimes, your one "insignificant" comment changes everything
''what if my writing isn't good eno--'' what if it's a reflection of your of your soul. what if it has a place in this world. what if you write it anyway
"But I don't like the ending/the character/the plot point. I would have done it differently."
Yes. Good. Go get a pen. This is where it begins.
❎ "my current mental state can cause me to be anxious, irrational, and overly reactive at times"
✅ "some sort of evil shadow self lurks within me that can only be defeated via battle of the mind combat"
the reality of being a writer
heres how to fix it
here is your daily reminder to COMMENT ON THE AO3 FICS YOU READ! it goes such a long way, especially if it’s a multi-chapter work and you can only leave kudos once. ANYTHING is an acceptable comment—emojis, keyboard smash, screaming, in-depth analysis! i promise you, the writers want it ALL
you can write short chapters if you want to, by the way
just in case somebody told you different
companies make billions from you thinking you're ugly btw. only ugly thing is their bottom line. log out of tiktok right now.
learning to ask 'is this an ad' will save your life
"guys i just got this new" it’s an ad
"let me show you what i just bought from" it’s an ad
"how am i just now discovering" it’s an ad
god i need something so bad. but what is it
I raise you:
“if you love this character then you must make him happy in your fics, right?” wrong. the horror. suffering. internal hemorrhage. hospital. immediately
i've got the kind of eyebags that make people in movies say 'you look like hell, detective. go home.'
Reminder that fanfic authors write the stories you like
FOR FREE
some people don’t deserve fanfics, much less for free.
also even if authors didn’t tag any specific warnings but they used the “creator chose not to use archive warnings” tag, then that is your warning.
“omg you should’ve —” no one forced your entitled ass to read anything. fanfic writers write for themselves and their own enjoyment. if you don’t like what you’re reading, quietly leave. ao3 is not an airport. no one cares about your departure so no need to announce it.
