An innocent soul on the Internet: "Oh, you write? What's your story about?"

Me, the writer, who has been waiting for this moment all my life:

If you can’t think of anything to say about a fic, writers also like to know:

- what time it is

- how long you’ve been reading

- how many chapters you’ve covered in the last 24 hours

- what you were late for because you were reading

- the woeful few hours you have left to sleep

- the emotional outbreaks you’re experiencing

- the inappropriate place you’re having said outbreak

- the general public’s reaction to your outbreak

- how much phone battery you have left

I’ve had the joy of quite a few of these comments! I love them!

I love seeing people’s picrew art styles because you can just look at them and be like

“You read homestuck and it was a big part of your life for a few years, you’re not into steven universe but you did watch it, and you had an intense black butler phase in middle school and doodled their eyes over and over again in your spiral notebooks”

[sepulchritude]

Art is the biggest snitch ever man like have you ever read a fanfic and been like “Oh the author is working through some trauma here”

Or when people rec songs/shows/fics and you suddenly know everything you need to know about who they are as a person?

Like I know art is inherently an attempt to make others understand what is going on inside our lonely little heads but sometimes the mortifying ordeal of being known just slips in there while you’re not looking

[boingmann]

send me an ask telling me who you think I am as a person through my art. I am curious

[tonystarkstan]

fanfiction culture is when you don’t wanna tell people you write fanfic but you do want to talk about writing, so you just say, “oh yeah, sometimes I write little short stories here and there!”

[tonystarkstan]

them: so do you ever want to publish?

me: oh no, it’s really just for me, honestly. kind of just a fun way to de-stress, you know? a little hobby.

the truth: it’s for me and the other hyperfixated people who read my stuff.

[tonystarkstan]

them: what do you write about?

me: all kinds of things, I guess. not really any specific genre. sometimes it’s more realistic fiction and other times it’s fantasy. just whatever I’m in the mood for!

the truth: I essentially write the same cheesy trope over and over again until my obsessed mind will let it rest.

Sometimes I’ll be off doing stuff - laundry, errands, work, hanging with friends - and then check AO3 and see that I’ve gotten kudos on something or will get an email about a comment and it never fails to blow my mind a little, that while I’m sorting socks or buying broccoli someone has been reading something I’ve written and gotten something out of it. It doesn’t matter how many times it happens. It is a thrill and an honor and a source of happiness every. single. time.

Thank you, all of you, who have ever left kudos and comments for any of us. It’s such a gift.

writer culture is having that one scene that really scratches your id, and being willing to write forty thousand words to get to it.
