#regarding my posts

[novaursa]

I need to get this off my chest because it’s becoming a pattern that’s killing my motivation and draining the joy out of posting anything here:

STOP treating every story I write like a damn prompt generator.

Yes, I’m glad you liked the fic. Yes, I’m happy it resonated with you. No, that doesn’t give you a license to immediately slide into my inbox or in comments with “omg I need more!! can you do a part 2??” like that’s just the natural next step. It’s not.

Here’s the thing: when I post something, unless I explicitly say “this is a series” or “more coming soon,” that’s it. That was the story. You read it. You enjoyed it. Cool. Now let it live on its own without immediately grabbing me by the collar and demanding I expand the universe like I’m some unpaid studio exec on your personal streaming service.

And don’t hit me with “I meant it as a compliment!!” No. A compliment is “I loved this,” “this hit hard,” “thank you for writing it.” A compliment is not “give me more now.” You don’t get to repackage entitlement and pressure as praise. I’m not stupid. I know what it is.

You know what happens when I give in and write a follow-up? People come right back with more asks. “What about from his POV?” “Can you do an AU where this happens instead?” “Can you make it longer?” It. Never. Stops. One extra scene turns into a pile-up of expectations I never agreed to meet. So guess what? I’m not doing that anymore.

And before someone gets cute: no, I’m not mad at one person. I’m burned out from the pattern. The accumulation. The way every post gets cannibalized by follow-up requests like the original was never enough. Maybe take a second to sit with the story instead of immediately picking it apart for expansion like it’s a DLC pack.

I write what I want. I post what I want. You get what you get. If that’s not enough for you, write your own continuation and tag it as inspired by mine. But do not come into my space acting like I owe you more just because you enjoyed it.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. No, there’s no sequel to it either.

Thinking of drawing all the sprubbabungos and making like a bracket for them. Posting this here to hold myself accountable for this idea.

Love being a small enough blog to keep up with all the notes on my one big post. Sprubbabungo is going around again and I see all y'all's tags and they make me smile. Okay I love you take easy have fun bye.

how do you format your writing posts to look so pretty?

First of all, thank you. ☺️🫶

Second, I actually don't do much. I'm a minimalist in this regard. Every post is made with basic stuff Tumblr has:

So, I just use tools provided by Tumblr. There is no code editing or anything. It's basic text with Tumblr fonts and options. 🙂

As of the moment I'm making this post, the sprubbabungo video has 14,763 more notes than my second-most noted post, the Ganondorf amiibo one, and in roughly 2,650 fewer days, or roughly 13.68 times less time.
