I don’t know who needs to hear this but be nice to fanfic authors. Reblog their stuff. Tell them you liked it. How you felt when reading. What school assignment you didn’t finish because of how captivating their story was. Don’t just scream to your friends about it. But tell them.

So many wonderfully talented people out there don’t get the praise they need. If their work brought you joy, make their day better by telling them it did.

Long ago I wrote a fic. Posted it under a different name without telling anyone in the fandom group I was active in. Watched how the online fandom group loved the fic and had a conversation of it in a positive spirit with each other - what did they like it, theories of this and that, how nice it was to get a new fic into this small fandom etc. - but did they leave feedback to the fic? No. I think it was only one person who commented the fic from the group.

I know the fan group liked the fic because I saw the outside comments. But, if I hadn’t seen them - like readers don’t - then I’d think the fic was not worth of my time and no one read it, or read it but didn’t care about it as it clearly was not worth of any comment.

We’re not telepathics. We don’t know. Tell the creators. They want it and appreciate the feedback. If we didn’t want you to interact with the stuff we create, like comment it/share it/reblog it/etc. we wouldn’t post the stuff online for you to see.

It occurs to me upon reading this that we don't have conversations like this in the comments to the author's fic---so much of fandom is interacting with each other about media we love, but in the fanfic comments section the conversation is almost just commenters talking directly to the author, and maybe the author talking back.

Nobody launches a metacommentary thesis for other readers to debate about in the AO3 comments, or has long comment threads gushing to each other about their favorite character's interactions; it's like the tendency to give the author space while we go play with their creations, a relic of our past when we weren't supposed to exist, has extended to fic authors who are themselves playing in the same mud we are.

We act like it's bad manners to love a fic in front of an author, in the ways the fandom that writes fanfic loves a fic.

And that shouldn't be the case.

They're one of us too.

I have had one or two fics where readers engaged with one another in the comments and I can say with 100% surety that it was REALLY COOL to see!!! Even if they weren’t talking to ME, they were talking about the thing I made where I could see it and that made me feel GREAT. Absolutely loved it.

I write fanfiction and let me tell you: comments about the fic and what you like about it make the hours of work all worthwhile. Literally there is nothing else going for me right now. I get up, go to work, come home, go to bed. To get a (1) in my inbox instantly makes me happy and I'd be nothing without it.

@ fic authors what do you personally consider a successful fic? What’s the bar?

[sherl-grey]

actually writing the fic down

if you would be so kind as to reblog this if you feel insecure about your writing skills.

[kosmo-mckogane]

rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between "damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)" and "damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)"

[tumbleweedtech]

you know, i decided to abandon all my fics. ignore them, let them go. I deleted drafts and wips. the ones i wanted to write reminded me of hurts. the ones farther on the queue just seemed pointless.

i've had people tell me that writing grief, and sadness, must imply that the person writing them is spiraling, or mentally unhealthy, or that writing sadness means you're sad. I have been spiraling. I have been hurt, I am grieving. I have not written in months. Because for me, even writing the saddest, most heart wrenching things? They're love letters, to love and grief and humanity and healing. They're what I do when i'm happy, and content, and stable. I am not okay right now and was pretty sure I was going to just. Leave the fandom entirely. I've unsubbed, unfollowed. changed settings. One too many hard punches. Someone came in with a critical and I'm on death saves now. And one person, I dont' know who they are. They left a comment. A quiet touch, from a hand in the dark. They saw. They saw and understood what I had been writing. What the intention was. What it all meant. And they made me pause. I know I'm hurt. I don't recognize in myself the person who wrote the fic that they commented on. But you know? Maybe, for the first time in... months. Maybe i want to. So my point is, the whole tl;dr of this: I've seen posts about readers/commenters worried about coming across poorly. bothering, annoying, etc to authors. This is what we mean, when we say a comment can save a fic. When we say that a comment can pull us back from walking away. I have, in the last month, deleted thousands of words because of a hurt. This singular reader, that I don't know, made me think perhaps. Perhaps it's time to stop deleting. Never be afraid to spread kindness. You never know how badly its needed.

Exerpt from a WIP

Hey... long time no posting lol. I was looking through some old writing on my laptop and came across this little thing I never finished. So, imma post it on here and see if anyone would be interested in reading a finished product. Not gonna lie, a little nervous. But I really want to get back into writing. The excerpt in bellow the “keep reading” tab 🙃

Old, nimble fingers brushed over worn photographs. Despite almost all media being digitized nowadays, Amy always preferred the tangible hard copies of memories. Something that couldn’t become corrupted or destroyed because of some server somewhere malfunctioning. These pictures that she held dear for nearly fifty years now couldn’t be altered.

They presented themselves exactly the way her memory served her. Just like everything else in regards to her husband, the true remaining constant, they were unchanged.

Sure, they were a little worn at the edges, but so was Amy for that matter. The hands she looked down on were the same ones in the photograph, just… older.

Sheldon had done his best to preserve them, but like anything, the test of time took its toll on their wedding album.
