People freaking out about AO3 being down is fine but like, the ones upset that no authors update anymore is wild to me.
You’ll have a fic with thousands of hits and maybe a hundred kudos and like six comments.
If an author doesn’t feel appreciated for the work they do for free over a long time- YEAH. THEYRE GONNA QUIT.
“But I never know what to say-“ as politely as possible, figure it out. A small uncomfortable action shouldn’t be why we keep losing creatives in both art and writing.
Show appreciation before you don’t have a chance anymore and not just you, but everyone, loses the works that they love. Even if it’s just a spam of emojis. It’s NOT that hard.
