“Character who looks dangerous but is actually harmless” and “character who looks harmless but is actually dangerous” are both well and good, but consider: character who looks dangerous, and actually is, but for a completely different reason than they look like they should be.

And no, I don’t mean like “guy who wears robes with a water motif is actually a fire wizard”. I mean like “seven-foot-tall mountain of gleaming muscle with sword the size of a surfboard strapped to his back is actually the Nine Realms’ most feared lawyer”.

LISTEN UP!!!!!! NET NEUTRALITY ENDS APRIL 23RD

We put up a good fight…but now we only have 60 days to turn this around. There is still ONE thing we can all do!!!!!

There’s something called the Congressional Review Act (CRA) that can be used to stop the FCC. We just need ONE MORE VOTE to win the Senate!!!

For those who missed my last giant post a few months ago, last year, the FCC voted to repeal the Obama regulations designed to protect a fair and open internet. If these regulations are knocked down, providers like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon will have EVERY RIGHT to slow down internet speeds to those who aren’t on their more expensive plans. Even further, they have the power to censor and regulate what we see online. MORE further, they’d even have the power to slow down competitors’ streaming speeds, like Netflix, to make their own services more appealing. THIS SHIT IS NOT RIGHT!!!!!

First thing you can do is to GET OFF YOUR ASS (OR ON IT IF YOU’RE AT A COMPUTER…) and take 20 seconds to sign this!!!! Second thing is to SHARE THIS CAMPAIGN WITH EVERYONE!!!

SIGN THIS!!!! https://www.battleforthenet.com/onemorevote/

There’s going to be a huge protest on Feb 27th that I’ll be taking part in. The above link goes into detail on what YOU can do on that day. Please guys. Don’t just sit there and let this happen. THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE! THIS IS OUR INTERNET!!!! NOW FUCKING DO SOMETHING!!!!

I’m angry. I have been, for weeks now.

I didn’t want to make a post or say anything because I don’t think enough people will notice or care. But fuck that, because I’ve got something to say.

I’m a fanfic writer for Haikyuu, I’ve been one for over a year; going on two. I’ve written 50 fics for this fandom, and I’ve been posting one fic or chapter update every week since the beginning of this year.

I write because I love writing, because I have a lot of ideas, and because I love the characters. I post my work because I think other people might enjoy my work, too.

But I’m also sick of it.

I’m sick of spending all my free time on writing only to get ten notes max on my fics on tumblr. Which, you know - it might just be that people don’t like my work. But it’s not just me. I’ve participated in events, and if you look at the pages for any fandom-related project that includes artists and writers, I can assure you that you’ll always find the same thing: art with over a thousand notes per pic, and fics with less than twenty.

Don’t get me wrong. I love the art that people are creating in the fandom, just as much as the next person. I buy every zine I can get my hands on. I commission artists when I can.

Recently, I commissioned a writer. I didn’t even know that was a thing until a couple months ago, and even then, I’ve seen writers offer 1k words or more for as little as 3$. Are you fucking kidding me. I paid 25$ for 4k and I wish I could have tipped more.

I guess what I’m saying is that I’m done with this.

I’ve been thinking every single day for the last three weeks that I want to just say I’m not going to be writing anymore. Because I’ve got no more energy for this. I’ve got enough other shit going on, and constantly being angry about how writers are treated is not helping, and it’s not something I can turn off. Every day I’ve been thinking “you should just go. For your sake. Stop this shit.”

I can’t do that. When I finally reached that point, and made the decision today that I’d stop, I’m done, I’m out - I immediately felt AWFUL. I love writing, and I love the friends I’ve made through it. I get really sweet and supportive comments sometimes. I feel like my work has maybe impacted a handful of people.

But I hate this. I hate the way the fandom treats us. I hate getting 1k hits and 2 comments. I hate getting 20 notes, only one of which is a reblog. Who’s going to see my work? No one. I hate it, and I don’t know what to do about it.

I guess that’s all. Expect a new fic from me next week, as always. Because as much as I hate it, I can’t leave. But I’m done pretending I’m not angry. Because I am.

I wish that people who read fics and consume content without leaving any sort of feedback really understood the impact it has on the creators.

I really wish that I could say I don’t consider quitting weekly - and that I don’t have many friends who write that I also do - but I do! All the time! And I’m lucky enough to have a handful of amazing followers who always give me feedback. But without feedback, what are we really even getting out of writing fanfics? I might as well just jot down my thoughts into a notebook and keep them for myself; save myself the stress of having to plan, write, structure, edit, etc. an actual fic.

astersandstuffs

…thank you for putting this into words.

i’m a relatively new writer and i’m really lucky to have supportive friends even when i have only a very small following, even when my writer friends are also considering quitting writing. i get some wonderful comments from very lovely people, and i love them, and i reread them a lot just to not delete everything. (hell, i once gave my ao3 account to a friend so she could stop me from doing that.) i got one ask commenting on my writing and i still can’t stop thinking about it because it has that much effect - because what’s the point of posting fics if we hear only silence in return? like the previous reblog says, we might as well jot them down without all the stress.

reblogs, comments, recs - they mean so, so much, because everyone hates feeling what they’re doing is useless, yeah?

flowercrown-jackson

This is so important and I’m grateful that some people finally said what we’re all thinking and have been going through

teddyylou

I’m so happy someone else agrees with me. I have a relatively small following and some days if I post at the right time, which in Australia is like 4am, I’ll be lucky to get 100 boys and maybe a few comments. If not I am lucky to get 10. Ao3 is a whole new story where I get 300 hits and 2 comments.

Many writers (and artist) here, very much including myself, need these comments for support to keep going.

Please leave comments or likes. It could mean that a writer will post again, or decide to quit ^^^

It means the world to know that our readers have names and are real and appreciate what we do.

Thank you kindly.

Tbh I almost cry whenever I get feedback. I go on twitter and scream about the comments and the feedback because they make my heart full, they make my day and night, even a week. I know I’ve only posted 3 works, but every kudo, comment or a bookmark means so much to me! I have to wait like 15 minutes before I answer to a comment because I’m so overwhelmed and thankful that someone found interest in my work. Even critics are very helpful! Every feedback is helpful and meaningful, and every time you want to say something nice, but feel shy, please don’t because you will probably make the writer’s day and get them feel nice and more motivated, and I’m sure the writer’s gonna be thankful for your comment and that they’ll remember it, because I now I do.

wow… it’s in words

lesbianoikawa

i dont think readers realize it, but as writers, we put our soul into our work. i stay up until the early hours of the morning working on my fics, i spend hours of my free time writing novel length stories for free. i know its just fanworks, and it can seem so simple when youre just reading something online, but comments and kudos mean so much to an author. i remember the usernames who often comment and the people who message me telling me how they liked my fics. i wake up and see the response and im overjoyed. on the flipside, when these works ive invested so much into get so little response i just feel… like im yelling into a void.

seriously, as a reader, all i ask is you hit kudos, that you comment something as simple as “i really liked” or keysmash or copy paste your favourite line. ill remember it forever and it will make me smile, and itll may make another fic writer have the push to continue writing.

battle-goats

The last time I got a comment that was longer than two sentences, it was a full paragraph raving on how much they loved reading the fic. And I just, I spent ten minutes crying over how much this one person loved it. I haven’t gotten feedback like that in so long, I’d started to forget what it felt like.

usukdorkfanfics

Please don’t be afraid to comment. Hell, I’m not even asking for reblogs, I just want someone to give me some sort of feedback or whatever. It’ll make my day, and I’ll appreciate it forever (literally).

Patreon change

Hey guys, I have decided to leave Patreon soon because of the recent changes the company had decided on for a short duration of time, and I also wanted to reach out more to all of you.

So I will be doing everything through ko-fi. For two coffees ($6) I will make a colored sketch and post it here to tumblr. I will also do sketch requests for one coffee ($3) with monochrome shading. Requests are from the 1st till the 10th of every month, so comment about what you want, and I will post on the last day of the month or the 1st, so requests are monthly.

I also do a discount on lined full-colored commissions ($20), just email me at [email protected] with all your info. It can be full-body, half-body, nsfw, 1+ characters, anything! But I only do 2 monthly. I will keep everyone updated and post about openings each month.

Let me know if this is something all of you are interested in!

Uhhh some feels:

I use patreon to support myself during college, and save up so I can move to a new place that will allow pets. I miss my baby, so this is one way for me to help supplement my income that I make during the summer. Thank you all for those who have helped me already, it’s really amazing to see all of your support and has helped me through many binds I’ve had this semester.

But all your comments and tags on my work really makes me happy. A lot of you have made me laugh and also the JSBHS moments seeing you guys gush over some of my art, because it really makes my day! Im gushing over you guys, too!! And I sometimes feel like my art isn’t worth it but you guys always make me feel good about it.

Again THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I don’t think I could ever say it enough. All of you are so fantastic, and wonderful, and sweet! Keep being amazing!

hey tumblr,,, i know it’s not as big of a deal to you because it’s not america,,, but canada is having a net neutrality battle too

I think we’d all really appreciate if you signal boost content that explains all of this. We need help! There are more people in California than in all of Canada, but we still need to fight off big corporations like Bell, Shaw, Rogers, Telus and Cineplex, who are trying to steal our net neutrality. The likelihood that this goes through has nothing to do with it, we need to show our government that THIS ISN’T OKAY. THAT WE CARE ABOUT OUR NET NEUTRALITY! C'MON!

allthecanadianpolitics

Bell is taking its outrageous grab for internet control to the CRTC tomorrow.

It’s scary – Bell, Cineplex, Shaw, and Rogers are trying to censor the internet and force the end of net neutrality in Canada. And worse, they’re trying to do it behind closed doors.

These 4 companies, led by Bell, are pushing to create an internet “blacklist” of certain websites that all internet service providers in Canada would legally have to block. They know this outrageous proposal would never pass, so first, they tried to sneak it into NAFTA negotiations – and now Bell is expected to introduce its proposal to Canada’s telecom regulator TOMORROW.

Critics are calling this move “unprecedented” and dangerous. If these companies get their way, this internet blacklist would have absolutely zero oversight in the courts. We need to stop this urgently.
