I’m sure you’ve heard a million times over how important it is to comment on fanfiction - maybe even from this blog. I’ve been a frequent advocate of supporting stories with feedback, often reblogging posts about its importance (and even making one or two of my own). For me, every time a post about comment culture crosses my dash I find a fresh determination to be a commenter and vow to leave feedback on every fic that crosses my dash from there on out.

But here’s my secret: sometimes, I don’t feel like leaving a comment.

It’s not that a fic is undeserving or that I have nothing positive to say, in fact it’s usually quite the opposite.

Sometimes, I look at the large number of comments a fic has already received and I think “What difference will it make if I just add to the masses?” But then I remember how excited I get every. single. time. someone leaves me feedback, how much my heart soars whenever I receive a comment notification.

Sometimes, I see that a fic has zero to little comments and I think “Oh, it would be awkward if I was the only commenter, I don’t want to stand out.” But then I remember the stories I’ve published that never received any responses, merely gathering a few reblogs and a handful of likes and leaving me disappointed and discouraged.

Sometimes, I read a fic long after it’s been posted and I think “Why bother commenting now? It’s way too late for that.” But then I remember that one time someone found a fic of mine months after it had been posted and still left a comment, making me feel as though my story had a permanence and a lasting impact.

Sometimes, I read a fic that is already multiple chapters in, and I think “I can’t possibly comment on any chapter but the last, otherwise it’s going to seem strange.” But then I remember all the effort that goes in to a single chapter, all the courage it can take to publish those words and how reassuring it can be to hear that a particular piece of a story had an impact.

Sometimes, I read a fic and I can’t think of anything insightful to comment, and I think “If I don’t have anything profound to say, I may as well say nothing at all.” But then I remember how it feels to stare at a blank comment section, wondering where exactly my story went wrong and wishing for even the smallest of reassurances.

And sometimes, I read a fic and I’m just tired, and I think “What’s it going to hurt if I just skip the comment this time? Who will even notice?” But then I remember how much time and energy a writer put into their story, how exhausting writing can sometimes be.

I read a fic, I remember these things, and I decide to leave a comment. 

Comments, from the smallest of keyboard smashes and heart eye emojis to the largest of analyses, mean the world to a writer. A comment can be the difference between an abandonment and another update, the divide between a story of requirement and a story of passion. Comments truly are everything to a writer, and they require so little from each one of us.

So please, I beg of you: swallow your excuses, realize that leaving feedback has an impact that extends beyond you, and LEAVE THAT COMMENT.

Obsessive love of things

If I fall in love with a movie/book/series/piece of music, it’s like a fever. I have to work through it, experience it over… and over… and over until the madness passes.

Man, I was writing some of my new fanfiction, and just figured that I was going to much on a fluffy side and had the brigstest Idea:

Hey! Why don't try some smutt to make it more realistic? Like, they have been toghether for months, sometime It have to happan.

And with all the things Ive had read to far I tought it would be easy to write that, yeah, just some lemon for my gay fanfiction, easy?

So I started...

After the thing actual started i could write five paragraphs, FIVE FUCKING PARAGRAPHS and than I just stopped, thinking about how bad that was and how embaraced I've got doing it.

That was the moment I realised it wasnt gonna be easy and started to apreciete more the people who can write that

Congrats you all writers who know how to do this, It's fucking dificute and now I don't know how to finish the charpter because I'm stuck on that still (° ~ °)

My friends talking about ST:

Friend 1: I Hope that S3 has some LGBT character

Friend 2: Yeah, me too

Friend 1: I just hope that it wont be Billy

Friend 2: Yes! I will be so mad if It's him. Like: Netflix you have a chance to do things right, don't fuck up.

Me(coming from nowhere): Well,if It's him i will be happy because I SAW THAT COMING FROM THE BEGINNING!

Friend 2: what

Friend 1: ...

Friend 1: I suspect too

LOVE IT

Some aesthetics for my favorite Stranger Things ships that I made and thought you would like.

What if your life was a TV show. And you had a whole fandom. What if people shipped you with your friends or your crushes. There was merch of things you say and head cannons. People loved your little quirks and ticks. “Omg or like when they bite their lip when they’re nervous” “what about the way they smile when *insert name* talks to them? They are so in love.” Imagine Tumblr accounts dedicated to you, people loved the way you said things or did things. That would be awesome

Steve, shaking Jonathan awake: Hey, Jonny, wake up! Jonathan: What… Steve: I need you for something.. Jonathan: What could you possibly need this early in the morning? Steve: Attention, affection, and praise.

Something

They always say that time and love are the most important things in life,

but is time and love things that go together?

Love is a rose that blossoms and dies with time. The most intense loves die with time,

So what's the best: time without love or love without time?

This was one of my edits I think It looks pretty good.

Hey peoples, I was bored and decided to edit one of mine draws. I don’t know If you guys liked, but I love to do diferent things (that is not my normal style), and I think It looks good.

"Did you ever feel like everyone os watching you? Cause I feel It, I can feel It ALL the time" by me.

I travelled to a realy cold place some time ago and don’t need to say how much liked the photos, snow is beautiful

Hi peoples

Not sure what to post here. Maybe I will post some drawings; Maybe just some texts; Maybe some poems. I don’t realy know. I looked for some things to get an ideia and seems that everyone uses english in this site This is good in some points, cause I like the language. But in the same time makes me a bit not confident. Anyway I think I will figure It out soon
