If I was desperate for kudos I would not be out here posting villain ships, minor character rarepairs, and other deeply unpopular ships.
I know how to write popular fic. I know how to farm kudos. That's not what I'm here for.
"Readers need to remember that authors don't know a reader liked their fic unless the reader tells them by leaving a kudos or a comment" does not mean "waahhh waahhh I need attention!"
It means "even if writers write purely for themselves, if you don't bother to interact with writers when you do enjoy their work, they might stop posting and just keep their work to themselves."
"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is not aimed at the people who aren't reading the fanfiction in question.
"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is not aimed at the people who did not enjoy the fanfiction in question.
"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is aimed at people who read a fanfiction, enjoyed it, and then didn't bother to even do the bare minimum to share their excitement about it with the work's creator, even though that excitement is literally the only thing they get in return for posting their work.
Fanfiction authors write because they enjoy writing. They post because they want to form a connection with the people who enjoyed their work.
This is not an attempt to scold anyone, I literally don't care if I get kudos or not. It's simply an attempt to remind people that fanfiction is a community, and fan authors can't read your mind.
I need straight people to shut the fuck up about chappell roan. I'm tired. "She's not using her platform" she was raising money for gaza at concerts with her friendship bracelets. "She's using the queer community" bitch she's a lesbian drag queen she IS the community. "She's so entitled now" she literally just won a Grammy and used that speech advocating for living wages and healthcare for all artists. What the fuck are you doing? Other than tone policing people actually putting the work in?
I feel like no one would say this if they both had any other colour, like if they were both blondes, or had black hair. I guess its just because red is a rare colour (its so prettttyyyy I wish I had it) but similarities ≠ the same
(not saying that they should have Dif colours, cos ginny being ginger adds so well to her character, just saying lol)
K I’m done ranting <3
(just my opinion, high chance that I'm wrong)
If I could change one thing in the Harry Potter books, I’d make Lily’s hair a different color just so the “Ginny is a Lily clone/carbon copy!” takes that are based SOLELY on them having the same hair color yet are so prevalent and widely accepted would not exist (no, fanart and movies do not prove they look similar they’re not canon also they look nothing alike in the movies besides hair color what are you talking about I think you just believe all redheads look the same).
"No, you can't stay, its girls night"
All jokes aside my poor baby girl Ginny was GOING THOUGH IT in chamber of secrets. The way this fandom dismisses her trauma and removes her from the narrative is one of the bigger annoyances I have. She deserves so much more as a character.
"ginny was never described as freckled either"
who's gonna tell them...
Some quick sketches bc I cannot believe there are still people talking about Lily and Ginny like they are “the same character” just because they both have red hair and married a Potter like it’s still one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard in this fandom.
