I’m just here to say that I absolutely from the bottom of my heart appreciate the creativity you put out into the world!!!
Your stories and writing style have inspired so much of my own personal drive to continue making concepts and characters that interest me, and I don’t think I would enjoy my current creations as much as I do if it weren’t for finding your stories. It’s a nice solace to see that other people enjoy the same tropes and concepts as much as I do!!
Please keep up the good work :)
That makes me so happy to hear 😭😭😭
I struggled for so long to enjoy my own characters and was missing so many fundamentals about how to create a story from the ground up, even though I was flexing those muscles a little in every fanfic with various setting/world/backstory building.
I feel like something finally clicked for me and I've been having a lot of fun! It's so weird to love my own characters for the first time lol. And it turns out it's a lot more freeing to choose how you want a character to be than to try to force a canon character to be what you want it to be.
It's especially nice to have written so many different pov characters through fanfic, so I feel comfortable writing vastly different voices even though I do think my writing style kinda stays similar? Idk.
BUT YEAH, I'm so happy for you!! I've found that when it comes to the tropes I write, there's a lot of people looking for stories like that on ao3 just through the tags. Many of my readers found my work through the captivity tag or whatever instead of through my fanfiction.
