We write for ourselves, but we post for others.

(this came out of a conversation in the comments on a previous post about an author threatening to stop updating a fic because of lack of engagement)

So there’s this idea that fic writers should write for themselves and not care too much about stats or engagement,

and i totally get the sentiment behind that. if writing becomes entirely about stats and external validation, something important does get lost - creative freedom and joy, conviction in your own writing

but i also think:

“i write for myself, but i post for others.”

because posting fic is not only self-expression. it’s social. ao3 is called an archive, but emotionally it often functions as a community space.

people post for connection, for participation, for others to bear witness to their pain and trauma and grief,

and i don’t think most people are asking to be admired so much as acknowledged. there’s something deeply human about wanting another person to encounter something that mattered to you and go:

“ok, yeah, I see what you were trying to say. I see you.”

especially because fanfic is often people processing very real feelings through fictional characters at a safe distance, one step removed,

and then uploading that deeply personal thing into a shared archive and hoping somebody else might connect with it.

And i think that’s why it hurts so much when you summon up the courage and post a fic into the void and you get nothing back,

and then it’s like,

does anyone see me? does anyone even care?

every day I learn bot comments on ao3 are stooping lower and lower

anyway if you get a comment like this, chances are that they are bot and their goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to delete your work, most certainly (from what I’ve heard) it’s because they want to “safely” steal your work, use it to train their ai without you being able to rightfully claim ownership of your work since “there’s no proof that the work was stolen/was posted elsewhere first by you” because the original source has already been deleted.

THEY ARE ALL BOTS. at first it was “ao3 is deleting fics and your entire account will be affected unless you delete the fics yourself” then it was “this work contains contents that are illegal and they have already reported you and your fic to the police” (yes, that’s how desperate these bots are), and now it’s this.

report their comments to ao3 for spam—in this case, specifically, I think you may be able to report them for harassment too—and don’t pay attention to them, most importantly don’t delete your works, don’t feel discouraged by their comments. remember that they are bots and they mass comment something like this on people’s works at random to get people to delete their works. (or even if they’re not bot, they are still pathetic bullies who don’t deserve your time or attention.)

hey so NariLamb Age of Peace oneshot is out !

Not much to say that is not already here except :

I tried to make it as long as possible but it's still a bit short

It might get a rewrite at some point, only changes to the plot would be really small tho

Might make some art to illustrate the story

Serves as a prologue to my AU, Age of Peace, but if you don't like NariLamb you don't have to read it at all !

Great news ! :D

Chivalry prologue translation is officially out on Ao3 !

It's a story I used to post on Wattpad a few years ago but because it was really, really bad, and for other mental health related reasons, I decided to rewrite it.

I will see if the prologue is received well and if that's the case, I will write the rest of the story.

This story is about honesty, love of all kinds, protecting your loved ones at all costs, and occasionally gruesome deaths for the sake of Death Itself. Among other things.

Also Winston and Shino are part of it.

Read in english on Ao3 (Chivalry) and in french on Wattpad (Chevalerie).

Couldn't wait until the actual release date, SILKSONG TOMORROW ♥️✨

.

K so, bit of venting here.

I wouldn't be here if not for Hollow Knight.

A while ago when I had lost every hope I thought "I don't want to go before I experience the end of Hollow Knight, and play Silksong". A lot has happened, and the day I can play this game has come. I shed genuine tears when I watched the trailer and will probably cry when I start playing lol.

Exploring Hallownest did wonders to me. And I really hope that one day, my creations will do just as beautiful wonders.

Higher beings, these words are for you alone.

I wish you all a wonderful exploration.
