Popping back in again after... nine months?... of even more inactivity just to showcase this gem of a comment. Though I may not reply to people that leave me comments on FDiGQ, I still read (and reread) every single one whenever I have an opportunity to, and it’s... amazing... what kind words can do to a person’s soul. While I haven’t felt the urge to write in a very, very long time, and have even gone so far as to consider discontinuing my fic due to a lack of inspiration, seeing this has pulled that decision back onto solid ground.
Internet stranger, thank you. I really needed to read that.
Be kind to each other, everyone. You never know how impactful warm words can be for someone in need of them.
Coming out of my cave after literal years of inactivity and writer’s block to throw shade at someone who took the time out of their day to leave the shittiest comment on my work that I’ve ever received in my entire life.
1.) I hope you’re hungry, because you can sit down and make a meal out of my entire ass. Anyway.
2.) If someone’s work isn’t your cup of tea, move along to something else rather than dedicate your own time and energy to making the author feel like garbage on matters that you personally don’t agree with. You clearly have no grasp on what’s appropriate or not; a simple ‘this went in a different direction than I’d have liked because your style has changed and I just can’t agree with it’ would have sufficed just fine. If I don’t like a piece of fanfiction, do you know what I do...? I find something else. I promise it’s not as difficult as it sounds.
3.) I don’t write for you, peaches. You don’t pay my salary. You don’t control my life in any way, shape, form, or fashion, and with all of that in mind, do understand that I don’t owe you jack shit when it comes to what I choose to write. While your opinions are valid, that does NOT give you the right to be so insulting toward a writer and their fic that hasn’t been updated since 2017. I literally cannot tell you to blow me enough.
4.) Perhaps I should have included a ‘Dubious Consent’ tag to begin with, (before you shit your pants, don’t worry - I’m adding it after I post this), so I take full responsibility for that when it comes to a ‘lack of warning’, I suppose.
5.) If FDiGQ?????????????????? disturbed you, you should reconsider reading fanfiction as a general whole. I mean that as respectively as possible.
6.) Before anyone decides to remark on any potential ‘inconsideration’ for the overall point of this person’s comment, please understand that I believe their concerns to be 100% valid and am in no way arguing against them. I am, however, expressing disgust at insulting, hurtful and unnecessary commentary that was in no way called for or deserved.
7.) Please see #2.
8.) Please see #2.
9.) Please see #2.
TLDR;
If you don’t like a piece of fanfiction because of the content, please move on to something else that’s more adhered to what you’re looking for without being an asshole about it.
Your piece of fucking garbage comment has been removed from my work. Have the day that you deserve. ✌️ ✨
Hello, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your writing. Five days in Galdin Quay has been my favorite, but I just wanted to let you know I love how emotionally you are able to write the characters.
This is hella late and I’m so sorry, I’m not on Tumblr a lot these days, but thank you so much! 😄 Character portrayal is either hit or miss with those boys.
Hey hun!! I just saw that you posted some additional work on AO3, and am SUPER PUMPED!! I know it’s been forever, bu you writing is still as enjoyable to read as it was the first time I read FDIGQ two years ago. Im glad you’re still writing, even with how busy it sounds like you’ve been. Can’t wait to hopefully read more of your stuff again soon!!! And I’m glad you’re still doing well!!! :D 💕💕💕
What a blessed post. ❤️ Thank you so much, friend! Always nice to see your name still pop up on Tumblr after all this time!
I may or may not have more writing plans in the foreseeable future. 🙃
Hello, it's-a-me, KenwaysFrye from Ao3! You probably remember or probably don't, and that's a-okay because it's been too long since I talked to you; I just wanted to message you to see how you were doing. I hope you have a great day, hon! 💖😊
Of course I remember you! 💞 Hi! I’m still alive and kickin’, just not really on Tumblr. I’ve moved halfway across the state and got settled into a new job and I don’t really know which way is up right now, but I’m getting there. I hope that you’re doing well!
