Every time you respond to a request for your favorite fics you make writers not mentioned feel like shit. So maybe don't?!
First off, I am sorry you feel that way, but I do need to say a few things to this.
When someone first asked me for my favourites I was worried cause of this happening. I do completely understand that it can suck to be left off lists, I really really get that. But I stated that it was only my opinion and I hope that people should know that for all of the favourite lists.
I think I’m pretty good at featuring a wide range of authors on this blog in general and I am always happy to add authors, check out their fics, and link to anything that people ask me to. One of the many reasons I started this blog was to try and let people know about new or not as well known authors and I am constantly trying to improve in this area.
I put in a lot of work for this blog, and majority of it is not doing the favourite lists, they are only a very small part of everything on here. It can get overwhelming sometimes, and the favourite lists are fun to do when I get them and it gives me a bit of break when I do an easier list like that.
I am truly sorry if I have made you feel bad but I can’t stress enough that these are just my opinion. I hope that you are writing because you enjoy it and the people who read your story enjoy it, and that should really be all that matters.
Just because you aren’t on my list, doesn’t mean you aren’t on someone else’s. I am just one person in a large fandom, who happens to run a blog. People ask because they are curious, or maybe want some shorter lists for some specific things. I don’t think I should stop just because I might make some people upset.
Because really, I love reading most fic, which is why I have this blog. If your fic is on any list then I have most probably enjoyed it anyway!
I asked a few people on twitter what they thought on this topic and they tended to agree with me. However I would like to hear other people’s opinions on this, and if the consensus is that I should stop, then I will do so.
