Ive Also Heard Abt Replying To Comments As Artificial Cumment Inflation

– Смотри: я сфинкс….

i could leave a fic uncompleted? u mean it?

so here's the thing. abandoning fics is good actually.

if you're a writer and you hate writing a thing? you can just stop. slap THE END? on the last chapter if you want to pretend like it's really finished, but mostly just free yourself from the prison of your own guilt. you're spending your valuable free time and mental space beating yourself up about a thing that was your choice to start writing in the first place. you decided to start making the thing, and you can also decide to give it up.

this also applies if you're a reader! starting a fic doesn't mean that you have to finish it. maybe the tags looked good. maybe the summary was intriguing. maybe you even liked the first couple of chapters. But if the story starts going in a direction that you don't like, if the author writes your favourite character in a way that doesn't vibe with you, if you just get bored with the premise and want something new, you're allowed to stop reading. Just because you sit down at the table with a whole entire cake doesn't mean you have to eat the whole thing. Sometimes you just want a little sliver, and that's just fine.

loving a story for a couple of chapters is still a lovely way to spend your time. get your enjoyment out of however much time you want to spend with it, and when that time stops being enjoyable allow yourself to move on.

falling out of love with something doesn't mean the love was never there. the love was there in the beginning, and it mattered, and it stays a part of you - even when it's not still there anymore.

its so funny to me like. who comments so formally on any platform? 🤣 gramar and punctuation on point, no emojis

also its kinda weird that they retaliate when the only consequence of their actions is being called out and nothing more :/ its giving cucaracho 🪳

PSA

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

If you get a comment like this, just report for spam and delete.

oh thabk god ill be using this from now on cause why should i have to tag the basics one by one everytime TT.TT

What the hell?! Of course IT'S NOT

Its one of the best compliments to an author, reading their whole posted works one after the other and letting them know 💖💖💖💖

also, It gets really hard to write for the community if the community doesn't respond, so comment away! 💖🌈

Just had a question about commenting on Ao3. Is it weird to comment on several of the same person's fics? Every time I do this I feel like I'm being stalkerish or something. Is it actually as weird as I'm worrying about?

Hi everyone it's trans day of visibility!! If ya feel like it, I'd love if you shared my work.. My name is Rachamim and I make personal queer fantasy work inspired by my Greek Sephardi background.

does anyone else get inspiration for fics from other fics or fanart?
