This changed me

I’ve read/ am reading fic that are upwards to 150,000 - 200,000. You’re telling me that authors that write for fun are writing a full-length book for the fun of it? They have earned my respect 10 fold.

A friendly reminder.

Adding on to this by reminding everyone to leave feedback on fics. Seriously, y’all, fic writers put their heart, soul, blood, sweat, tears, and time into their writing. The least that you could do is let them know you enjoyed their works.

Back in 2012 I wrote chapter after chapter, not even caring how much I wrote or how popular it would get. Before I knew it, I'd written over 80 chapters spanning over 740,000 words.

740,000. Words.

Writing, not just for fan fictions, is a complete dedication. People go out there, writing over 10,000 words a chapter, posting religiously once a week, and still don't get the decent, baseline appreciation they should.

Please, please, please, take a few minutes of your time when you're reading a writer's work to write a comment, favorite something, or even write a letter to the author explaining how much you appreciate what they're doing. These people are insane. They're dedicated as fuck. And anything you say about their work they will cherish forever.

Take it from me, every single comment made my day. Just to know someone decided to leave a thought for the hours and days of work I did on my writing made it so worth it for me.

You guys give us the courage to go after our dreams. So thank you.
