im scrolling through the x reader tags on here and you guys are so mean to writers if you don’t like something don’t read it like it’s so frustrating to see so many people make memes about “cringey and shitty” writing and im so confused because last i checked you’re not writing any of your own stories so what gives you the right to be so critical the people on here are doing this for fun not everyone is gonna write professional award winning stories and it’s tumblr man like people write smut on here for the giggles its truly never ever that serious ALSO ALSO you’re reading fanfics bro this is as cringe as it gets so you can’t even be like oh you’re cringe for writing that babe we are all in the same place LOL the traction is already so low on this app and it’s so discouraging when every second post you see in the popular tags is about someone complaining and then you guys also complain about having nothing to read like yeah no shit bro no one wants to write when you’re being so mean

the fanfiction inside my head should be considered lost media

under my feminist dictatorship every unexpected pregnancy trope applied to women in fanfic ends in abortion until morale improves

Reblog if you want more abortion representation in media.

I’m so tired of characters in movies and tv shows changing their minds at an abortion clinic the very last minute because “this baby is precious🥺 this life is innocent🥺”. abort that parasite. abortion is human rights. abortion is healthcare. abortion is good.

writing is so fun until you run out of pre-planned plot and you stand at the precipice and slowly realise that you never really had a plot in the first place

you need to make more self-indulgent art btw. hyper-specific self-indulgent niche shit that appeals to You Specifically and maybe nobody else will get it or even like it but that's the point.

your daily reminder that reading other people’s writing can feel inspiring or intimidating, but neither defines your own ability.

Your story doesn’t need to please everyone. It needs to please YOU. If someone hates it, that’s their problem, not your cue to shrink. KEEP GOING!

I think people really, really need to learn the difference between "this story was Poorly Written" and "I had extremely specific expectations of what I wanted this story to be and was extremely disappointed that it went in a different direction."

Similarly, people need to learn the difference between "this character was written Out-of-Character" and "I built up so many headcanons for this particular character that I wound up with my own extremely specific interpretation of them and was extremely disappointed when those headcanons were jossed."

You are allowed to experience disappointment when stories don't go in the direction you want them to! But that is not the same thing as those stories being poorly written.

I get a lot of ads and suggested posts from authors promoting their books with trope lists so I started compiling my favourites. personally nothing makes me want to pick up a book like knowing there's a scene where a guy gives his love interest some water 😍 you can rest assured there's no plot description to be seen because who needs that when you know the main guy loves a good boat 😍😍

this is not a drag on fanfiction but if you find yourself consistently saying “wow fic is better than most published stuff!! and it’s free!!” it might be a sign that your brain is ready for and craving more complicated literature than the books you are used to gravitating towards

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

This is a sign for you to write that self-indulgent fic
