A Request from Fanfic Writers
Most people probably don't have time to get to them as they're just taking 5 minutes to scroll through and see what's new while they're waiting for coffee or whatever. That's ok! And it's ok if you never read our fanfic. Or if you read it 5 months later, or whenever!
But please, please, please re-blog our updates, drabbles, one-shots, links to AO3, challenges, etc. It's easy to like a fan art and want to share it because you know what it is and you've seen and like it. But it's harder for fanfic. If you think about it, everyone sees fan art, and it gets re-blogged, and re-blogged, and re-blogged. I'll see the same piece of fan art 5 times in a row on my dash. But fanfic is even harder to promote because most people won't read it when they see it, and it doesn't get re-blogged nearly as often as art. I don't think I've ever seen fanfic show up 5 times in a row on my dash. If our stuff doesn't get re-blogged, it won't reach your followers, or their followers, who may want to read it but have no other way of knowing it exists. And we have no other way to promote it to them.
Just a simple re-blog (no tags even needed) will help fanfics reach new readers the way fan art does.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ WHAT WE WROTE TO RE-BLOG, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO PROMISE TO READ IT. BUT PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE RE-BLOG!
