some of u guys are literally porn addicts! i’m sorry but someone had to say it. it’s practically impossible to find fics that aren’t smut, no matter which tag ur looking in, and it’s so fucking annoying. i don’t mean this in a conservative way, but it’s not normal to have every single fic inside a tag be smut. unless ofc it’s in the smut tag itself.
edit: some of u guys are missing my point, I READ SMUT !!!! i don’t mean that no one should write smut ever, but it’s getting to a very concerning point where EVERYTHING is smut, and some people don’t read anything that doesn’t have it. and it’s not just fics, just look at comments of any video that recommends a book, “is there spice?” “if there isn’t spice i don’t want it.” like WHAT??? and it’s also specially annoying when i’m looking for something to read inside the fluff/angst tag and all i find is smut smut smut
this is one of the reasons i’ve been on a reading slump here on tumblr. because at this point i don’t even bother to look at the tags, knowing most of them are just pure smut with no plot whatsoever. i’m sorry but writing is supposed to be a piece of creativity, not just straight up erotica. this is why i appreciate angst writers so much because there is at least some kind of plot in it.
YESSSS
And as a writer (on a different account) we have to stop telling people "well write your own fics if it bothers you..." as a response to literally everything - especially when they have clearly outlined and thought about their point.
People are allowed to share their annoyances and wishes/ likes and dislikes!!!
Nevermind the array of valid reasons someone would not to write fiction for themselves, the most significant ones I've found after writing is; it's seriously not as fun to read your own works. Writing them is a completely different experience with a different satisfaction.
Of course don't entertain rude people on the Internet but, honestly, we have to learn how to differentiate when someone is personally criticising you or just saying something you don't want to hear.
