HISTORY HAS BEEN ENGRAVED INTO THIS POST

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

reblog if you wanna be excluded from life to become a forest witch who writes gay fanfiction and watches fictional gay characters have their slow burn enemies to lovers arc unfolded from the woods instead

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

found this on twitter and yeah — while a part of me is convinced this one’s a bot, unfortunately there are people who actually leave this kind of comment on writers’ works — this and the ai witch hunt are the exact reasons more and more writers stop sharing their works. the level of entitlement to be walking inside someone’s house, after they were kind enough to let you in, and then starting to criticize the way they decorate their rooms when you can just quietly leave if you don’t have anything nice to say.

fanfics are something writers do for themselves. we don’t get paid for it. we write whatever makes us happy for our own enjoyment. if you dislike it, that’s cool. quietly exit the fic and find something else to read. or better yet, write it yourself.

you as a reader are not our customer. we don’t write for you. we don’t write to please you. we just give you the privilege of reading our works for free. whether or not you’ll read it, whether or not you’ll like it, is not our business. but you are rude and entitled to be criticizing fanfics like it’s something you paid for and not a gift people were kind enough to give. if we want constructive criticism, we will ask for one. if we didn’t ask, stay quiet if you don’t have anything nice to say.

not to mention, more often than not, your constructive criticism is never really a constructive criticism but what you personally want to read. keep this up and eventually there will be no fanfics for you to read because no one wants to share their works for free anymore if people will just be this rude and entitled.

BE KIND AND RESPECTFUL TO FANFIC WRITERS AND FAN ARTISTS OR BE QUIET.

[formerlyluckymanticore]

Reblog if you will never. Ever. Use AI in your writing.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

people who read other people's fanfics and see themselves as fanfic writers' "customers" may be one of the most unpleasant people you'll encounter in fandom space.

as a fanfic writer, no, I do not write for you. I write for me. I just post my stuff online for people to read, but that's an act of kindness, it's not "me trying to please you". if you like what I write and if you support me and are kind to me, then I appreciate you. from the bottom of my heart.

but if you don't like what I write, that is fine too. that just means my works are not for you (well, they are for me, the writer. I write for my own enjoyment first and foremost), you can quietly leave, find something else to read. or, better yet, write what you want to read yourself.

you are not fanfic writers' "customers". you read their works for free because they're kind enough to share their works for free. you're reading someone else's hobby. if you keep being rude and entitled to fanfic writers, one day you'll end up with no fics to read, and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

for the hundredth time, treat fanfic writers and fan artists with respect, or stay quiet.

not now kitten. daddy only planned the first half of his wip, and now he has to figure out what the fuck to do for the other half.

[writingdose]

writing fanfics has made me go out of my way to learn things and do deep research in ways no colleges, exams, jobs or other projects ever could. yes, it’s a hobby. but it’s also my love and passion. next time you say “fanfics are an unserious activity for kids”, I will actually bite you. no ma’am, while kids certainly can enjoy writing fanfics, it’s sleep-deprived adults — with jobs and responsibilities, bills to pay, kids to raise, animals to take care of, battles to fight — who have built the fanfic community and always been the backbone of it since day one.

[writingdose]

thank you ao3 for protecting writers and never allowing censorship to plague your platform. we love and respect you for this

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

here’s a reminder that nothing lasts forever, so cherish it while it still lasts. I thought we’d have ao3’s beta forever, but she has left us and ao3 is grown now.

feeling: both proud and emotional

[nondelphic]

the concept of "canon" is fake anyway. if you write a fanfic with better emotional arcs than the original you win. i said what i said

[tearsanctuary]

“why are you getting frustrated with your characters? you write them, they can do whatever you want”

NO THEY CAN’T. this little fuckers have some psychological power over me i CANNOT MAKE THEM DO SHIT

Please, someone tell me if this is in anything because it is one of my favorite scenarios whenever im imagining things or writing stories and need to see it more!

Pretty much it is when the MC goes up to the LI as children and "claim them" as theirs.

Something like: "We will get married when we are older", "You're mine now", "We are dating" or something down that line

It works in any tropes: childhood friends to lovers, Enemies to lovers (which starts with them as friends and either 1. Something happens that causes the enemies part or 2. They move away and don't see each other for years (or amnesia but less that please) and their reunion ends with her hating him), secret crushes on each other.

ANYTHING. However, the LI is always madly in love with the MC, who is at most times unaware (for the yearning).

Like, I know it is in some Cdrama shorts I watch (if you have recommendations please send) but I need more stories like it!!!

Is this in one of my WIP novels? Yes, it is because, as I said, I'm obsessed.
