I love making this kind of content that brings happiness, fun, love, and maybe even helps you out in some way!

I’ve seen a lot of artists struggling with this kind of stuff and not knowing much about it, so please take care of your precious hands, my sweet cherries!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend! I’d love to go back to making my old content... comics 👀

See you soon!

Love you all! 🍒

THE MISCONCEPTION ABOUT COMMENTING ON FIC

I’ve read all kinds of posts both from writers and readers lamenting about comments on fic. Authors are upset when they don’t get any, readers don’t know what kinds of comments to leave, etc. And it finally clicked in my brain why I think a lot of people don’t bother writing comments. 

And this is what it boils down to:

Writers do not want praise.  We just want to talk about our story. 

I can’t speak for everyone obviously - but I think the majority of writers don’t care so much for the “omg you’re a brilliant writer!!” comments as much as we just want to hear your thoughts on the story. Even if it’s just your thoughts as you’re reading of “oooh x happened! I can’t believe y said this! What’s going to happen now that z has happened?!” We literally just want to talk about what we’ve written like you would with a friend about a tv show. We’re not out here demanding praise like some entitled narcissist. 

While praising our writing skills or writing style is appreciated, it doesn’t need to be said on every fic and every chapter that you read. If you regularly comment on someone’s work that’s telling enough that you like our technique. Readers shouldn’t feel pressured to have to praise a writer’s abilities every time they want to comment. 

In the grand scheme of things, talking about the fic/chapter is actually more helpful to us writers instead of spewing praise. It’s the same with artwork. As nice as it is that people tell me “wow your art is so pretty!” it’s a LOT more useful to me to get comments like “I love their expressions!” or “the lighting on this is gorgeous!” because then I know WHAT people are liking about it. If no one ever comments on my backgrounds, I now know what to improve. If most people comment on liking the expressions, I now know the strong points of my art and can use it to my advantage to make even better art in the future. 

The same goes for fic. If multiple people tell me they liked a certain part of the story I now know that things similar to that are a hit. It’s feedback I can use to improve the story and give my readers more of what they want. Without that I have no idea what they like about the fic.

Talking with a writer about their story also gives them inspiration!! Nothing gets us more in the mood to work on a fic than to have people wanting to talk about it. A lot of times just talking about one of my fics with someone will give me that push to continue working on it. Getting a comment that just says “great chapter” or “you’re a great writer” doesn’t do much to motivate us to continue that particular fic. But if you talk about the story and the characters it gives us motivation to continue working on it, may even give us ideas for future chapters. I would hope that those of you with “comment anxiety” find this approach so much easier than trying to praise the writer every time you read.

So that fic the author hasn’t updated in forever that you’re dying to read? Talk to them about the fic and the elements of the story! It will make the writer want to talk to you about it and will get their mind thinking about it, hopefully inspiring them to continue where they left off. Fics that are left in silence are more likely to be abandoned or even deleted because nothing feels worse than putting your heart into a story to have no one say anything about it. 

TLDR; Writers do not want praise, we just want to talk with our readers about the story itself, and these are the kinds of comments that inspire us to keep writing more. 

whoopsie, my hand slipped

We should be fine as long as we do not reblog bread.

Me: Oh come on, man, why won't you let me do the stuff I need to do?

My brain: Ok fine, you can do whatever you want and stuff but like. Where did we last put our phone? Also remember that one time when [redacted]? Ah, and-

Me: No. No. No no no no, I need to do stuff, can you give me useful information?

My brain: Ohhh yep yep, lemme think.. hm. We made a list of things we had to do and stuff, forgot where we last put that as well.

Me: Okay thank you I'll look for that myself–

My brain: Wait we also forgot to water Jerry and Clea didn't we? We made a reminder of that on our phone. Therefore we should find our phone.

Me: No- fine- okay, I'll find the phone later, let me just find the list first.

Brain: Mmm yes, list list list list list, list list list, list, we need to find the list. The list, the list.

Me:

Brain:

Me:

Brain: Oh hey would you look at the time–

Me: nO I didn't even do a single thing!

Brain: –It's time to go out into another world! Daydreaming, baby! *disappears*

And that's when they ended up long gone, for at least an hour respectively.

don’t know what parent of an autistic child needs to hear this but as long as they’re not harming anyone your kid’s stimming is not a “problem behaviour”

The bag of flour provided to us as aid due to the closure of the crossings is now being sold by merchants for $200, and we don't have the money to eat bread.

Our children are dying of hunger.

I don't have the money to buy even one bag.

Please help 🙏

Fear not, Tumblr will always be free to use, this is just a way to continue to empower unique voices and throw a little coin to your favorite artists, fanfic writers, or maybe even that one mashup Supernatural/Studyblr blog you’ve been following since 2016.

(3 a.m. infomercial voice) But wait, there’s more. We want to know every possible way we can make Post+ the best experience for you and your community. To do that, we’d love to hear from you. Specifically, we want your thoughts on how you’d use a feature that provides a feed of exclusive posts on Tumblr. What would you like to see? Don’t be shy 👉👈. Get in touch. Do it often, if you like. We’re excited to hear your thoughts. And keep your eyes on this space (go ahead now, click follow ☝️). Teamwork makes the dream work, etc.
