WITH THE OCCURRENCE OF "BURN BOOK" RPTs AND RPTs THAT PERPETUATE HATE & DRAMA. the best thing to do is block the accounts and move on. anyone who sends messages to these blogs are giving them a platform they do not deserve. these accounts exist, from what i can tell, solely to cause strife within the rpc. even the ones that claim to be "helping" are allowing anonymous messages that could be anyone saying anything, regardless of whether it is true or not. rather than talk about them, post about them, or send things to them; we should be blocking them and not engaging at all.
i am holding all of your hands when i say this. let's collectively reframe "sorry it's taken so long / sorry i haven't been able to write much / etc" to "thank you for your patience or thanks for always being excited with me, even if i take a while or thanks for understanding that life gets busy!" or just... allowing yourself to enjoy writing without any time limits applied or need to explain yourself or ask for forgiveness.
i promise, you're worth the wait of writing with, you're worth the patience, and you're worth the consideration. this is a hobby! it's supposed to be fun, not something we feel obligated or chained to.
so don't apologize for taking too long, it's not too long and anyone who rushes or guilts someone else for responses should probably resort their own priorities. also i love you and i hope today is kind to you.
