I have a question feel free to answer this and post it or message me but I was just wondering if it would be possible to ask for help on getting fic inspiration, or how to have more people interact with my posts on tumblr. I really want to start to write again but I want to write what people want or at least try to. My inbox and asks are open but I’ve had no luck. I was just wondering if you had any advice or fics you’d want to see. I don’t want this to come off as mean I feel really awkward asking for help. But I love you and your work and how you interact with your audience and just thought I’d ask.
I'm laughing a little bit because my interaction on Tumblr because I get an ask like every occasionally. I feel like in this regard, I am not the person to ask. I get anxious writing my thoughts and putting out there in text posts when I have no reason too because then I'll be perceived! People will know I'm a weirdo freak!
(As if my fanfics didn't do that already)
Point being! I don't think interaction is the thing to focus on here because while Tumblr might be lacking, the comments on Ao3 give me an obscene amount of serotonin and I am TERRIBLE at responding to those. It's like my messages I swear, out of sight out of mind.
In regards to wanting to write: don't do it for other people. When you do that, it's not fun anymore. You have to write what you want to see because ultimately it's how you want to play with your paper dolls! Like I cannot understand how top/bottom discord is still a thing and 'don't write this because it's weird' and fetishes and kinks and-
Everyone is gonna have an opinion but what matters is how YOU feel about it and that you got enjoyment during. If I wrote what people wanted, I would not have half the fics I've written. Someone out there is going to see your fic and be very happy about it.
