So writers joke a lot about "drinking the tears of our readers", but I want to be so honest with you when I tell you that making you cry isn't our real goal. Making you feel is.
Kicking your feet? Giggling? Can't stop smiling? And yes, crying? Feeling anything, everything. That's our goal. That means we did The Job.
Nothing's worse than feeling like your writing is bad because it's not just words on a page. It's literally my insides turned out, twisted and curled into words dripping with my dreams and hopes, but even as I stare at the the bleeding pages of my labor I'm still like --
"Its mid."
yknow you can disagree with the transfem ralsei theory without coming across incredibly TERF-y about it and acting like youre some authority on the matter when in reality you're doing the exact opposite of what toby was calling for in chapter 4: fan interpretation. maybe unpack your transphobia/homophobia/seemingly general confusion about what gender is in general with a therapist instead of projecting onto a famously queer cast. just because you poke fun at your "hetero-ass ship" doesnt suddenly make you immune to at least coming across as a dime a dozen tumblr nazi, or at the VERY least someone whos taking headcanons and fanon way too personally for no reason
tl;dr -- get a grip, theoretical transfem rep isnt gonna hurt anyone, regardless of how much youre fooling yourself into thinking """gnc rep""" matters more - a nonbinary person who simultaneously values susie's gnc nature and also didnt play through the ferris wheel scene in chapter 2 with my fucking eyes closed .
You can depict them any way you want. We don't own the characters. We just thought it would be funny if Ralsei exploded in a hysterical, angry rant because it's something you'd expect Susie to do instead.
i'm sure you've heard that advice countless times before but take it from someone who's got adhd and never finishes anything in her life: if you're stuck on a scene/a chapter of your story, write about something else. like, skip to the next scene, the next chapter, or even some chapter further down the story. write it down, because when you do, what should happen before that will come to you much easier, and you won't have been wasting time thinking about that one bit you couldn't get right

And BTW I have several other things working besides TAOSPG so keep an eye out for that in the coming weeks I'm just trying to get this chapter up bc I know you've been patient
Not a kink/trope/AU you like? Don't read.
Not your favorite character or ship? Don't read.
Not a genre for you? Don't read.
Don't like? Don't read.
Don't hate on writers for sharing their creativity.
What’s your primary reason for writing?
To get all the stories in my head out into the world!
To have fun and enjoy the process
To connect and share with others
To communicate my understandings and ideals to the world
To make great works of art
To have specific stories that I want to read exist
Something else
Multiple reasons equally
I really don’t know
See results / not a writer
