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.
Harry: UGH it should be illegal for people to cry in front of meβ¦β¦ Like can they just not??. I get very uncomfortable
also Harry: What ifπ³π³β¦.. GINNY WEASLEY was weeping at the sight of my lifeless bodyπ£π’π’ whilst telling me how much she wanted my dππβ€οΈβπ₯and Ron gave us his blessingπβΊοΈ and we lived happily ever afterπ©ββ€οΈβπβπ¨π©ββ€οΈβπβπ¨π¨βπ©βπ¦βπ¦π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦

part i: The thing was, that Ginny Weasley had always been β pretty. This was an undisputed fact, in Harryβs eyes. A known truth. But seeing her like this; ripples of laughter falling from her lips, fair yet sunkissed skin, collecting more freckles by the day, all curves and long legs β was different, was staggering.
(Or, the one where Harry and Ginny become more than friends).

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.
