writeblr intro!!

hello!! i am looking for people to follow and i decided it's time for me to finally properly introduce myself, so here it is!!

about me

hi!! i'm bess, he/him pronouns, and i'm very new to tumblr. i write purely as a hobby and most of my writing experience comes from writing fanfiction, although i do have some original projects, such as my current wip :D

i'm here really just to vibe, find some inspiration and some cool people with similar interests :D my activity might be spotty, but i'm always keen on finding new people to follow. feel free to interact if anything sparks here your interest so i can follow you!!

things i like to read/write:

classical literature!!

mythology references in writing

morally grey characters

superheroes/villains

comedy

found family

hurt/comfort in any way, shape or form

friends to lovers trope (bonus points for secret dating)

about my wip

currently my main wip is… actually, it's a mess, but if i were to sum it up then i would say it's a mystery/crime but written in a style of a romantic drama. i'm currently about half-way through my first draft, which is very far for my standards. i probably won't share snippets from it very often since i'm not writing it in english, but i most likely will come to scream about my lovely OCs from there from time to time, because they live rent free in my head and most likely aren't moving out anytime soon. (if you're interested to hear more about it, a post where i talk more about it here)

i hope i will find some cool friends here!! i love hearing people talk about things they're passionate about, so i'm always here if you wanna tell me about your wip :D

i do write for attention, actually, because that's a normal reason to create art

[teddywesworl]

did you hear about that actor performing a play in front of a crowd? clearly only doing it for attention

Even a short comment or praise or constructive criticism can go a long ways. Might even make someone's day.

If you like something, say it!

the holy grail types of fanfic

Friendly reminder that these only happen slowly, carefully, with lots of reader encouragement, engagement, reflection, and support, and an ending is never a guarantee.

Writing communities are gardens, not subscription services

[lost-in-eriador]

in 2026, remember how GOOD writing feels. remember how satsfying it is to get your characters to the point you have been dying to get to, where they will experience the love, fear, relief or whatever the feeling you want to bring to life may be. let this year be the year of writing, prgress and of satisfactory endings.

Huge shout out to all the people who read fics. Who actually take the time out of their busy days to open a fic and read it

Before I started writing in earnest, I did not understand how much writing was going to eat into my fic reading time. We joke about having too many tabs open, but I have a different problem: the amount of tabs I have open on new fics is way smaller than it used to be. My ao3 wrapped would be a sad affair. Unless I’ve subscribed to an author or come across something on my dash, I basically don’t see it

Which has really driven home for me how much fandom cannot just be creators. You have to have people who want to read fic and meta discussions and joke posts. You have to have people who want to look at art and gifs. It has to be mutual.

Community thrives on flow. You have to have that movement of people sharing things with each other for a community to exist

Thank you fic readers. You keep things flowing

Adding new words to an already beta read/edited/polished draft like

[my-dailydreams]

[fucking-relax]

be purposeful with your wellbeing

this could include:

let yourself move to music however you wish

doing small stretches during periods of waiting

celebrate when you do a task

reflect on the joyful mundane

ask: what is one thing you can do in this moment to make yourself more comfortable?

set aside time in your schedule to do whatever the fuck

your !! comments !! on fics !! are !! important !! to us writers !!

i’ve been seeing a lot of people saying they feel bad for leaving comments, especially on older fics, because they’re afraid to bother the author.

but i’m here to tell you this: BOTHER US!! you have no idea how much writers appreciate the interaction. every single time i get a comment on one of my fics, it makes my entire WEEK. it’s how we know if people resonated with our writing. writers love talking about their work and about the original media! so please, BOTHER US. even if it’s just emojis. don’t ever feel bad for interacting! that’s literally how you keep fandoms alive.

PLEASE BOTHER ME!! I go feral for feedback 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly
