I feel like this reminder shouldn't need to be given in a hobbyist space, but apparently it does based on comments I've received/discussions within various fandom communities.

While some people are here for clout, the vast, vast majority of fanfic writers write for ourselves, and then we post our work online in case anyone in the community might like it. But we wrote it for ourselves.

I have had some very kind readers over the years, and I am immensely appreciative of their lovely comments. But I did not write any of my fics for them.

This means that no, I did not take your learning disabilities/vocabulary/personal preferences/ADHD into account. Firstly because I cannot possibly know any of those things about strangers. But secondly, and most importantly, because I did not write it for you. I catered to my reading level, and my personal tastes. Because it is for me. The act of publishing it online is simply me going, 'Hey, since you're into some of the same things as me, maybe you'll like this.' I don't care about your preferences or reading level. It's your job to seek out reading material that is a match for you, personally. Writers are not your mommy. If you spit out your peas, we're not going to go, 'Ok, well what about blueberry? Apple sauce? Carrots? What do you want to eat??' Frankly, I don't give a fuck. It's literally not my job to.

Ricky Martin - La Copa de la Vida 1998

"La Copa de la Vida"/"The Cup of Life" is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin. Martin created the song after FIFA requested of him an anthem. The song was written by Luis Gómez-Escolar, Desmond Child, and Draco Rosa, while the production was handled by the latter two. It was released in English, Spanish, and Spanglish on March 9, 1998 as the official song of the 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France, and was later included in his fourth studio album, Vuelve (1998). A samba-rooted Latin pop song, it carries a football-heavy message with fully positive lyrics. It is one of Martin's most commercially successful songs worldwide, appearing on the charts in more than 60 countries, and reaching number one in 30 countries. It has received several certifications, including platinum in Australia and France. Martin's performance at the 1999 Grammy Awards was greeted with a massive standing ovation and received acclaim from critics. It is known as a game-changer for Latin music worldwide, being credited as ushering in the "Latin explosion".

"La Copa de la Vida" won the award for Pop Song of the Year at the 1999 Lo Nuestro Awards, and Song of the Year at the 1999 El Premio Awards. It was also acknowledged as an award-winning song at the 1999 BMI Latin Awards, and was nominated for Latin dance maxi-single of the year at the 1999 Latin Billboard Music Awards. Billboard ranked "The Cup of Life" as the 44th greatest song of 1998. The song has received highly positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its energy and lyrics, and it has been ranked as the best World Cup anthem of all time by multiple publications.

"La Copa de la Vida" received a total of 85,6% yes votes! Previous Ricky Martin polls: #132 "La Bomba", #463 "María (Pablo Flores remix)".
