Writing Is Just Aggressively Whispering “Suffer.” at Fictional People And Then Crying About It

can we talk about how soft of a gesture it is when you put a flower between pages of books to keep it safe with you that someone gave you as a token of their love

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.

That last one thooooo

if u dont mind, could u do some more enemies to lover + one bed trope dialogs and prompts?

all my love for this req anon<3

enemies to lovers w/ one bed trope - prompts and dialogue.

@celestialwrites for more!

♡ both characters grumbling about the one bed situation but one finds them self secretly blushing.

♡ "there is no way i'm getting in a bed with you." "you're welcome to the floor."

♡ as they both get into bed, one says "touch me and die."

♡ both making a pillow wall between them, only for it to be destroyed somewhere along the night.

♡ one wakes up screaming in the middle of the night, leaving their 'enemy' to comfort them.

♡ "i hate you." "as long as you don't hog the covers, i don't care." (they really did care.)

♡ one nudging the other while they're both tucked in because they like seeing their enemy rattled.

♡ "woah, it's cold." their enemy's sleepy form threw something in their direction, it was the enemy's sweater.

♡ unintentionally huddling together for body warmth.

♡ both unable to sleep (due to fears of nightmares) so they both stay up in bed and somewhere along the late night, they start talking and sharing about their pasts.

♡ "you're not sleeping?" "nope." "why not?" "don't want you to stab me the second i close my eyes." "i won't."

♡ cuddling up to each other for warmth, "this never happened?" "deal." except both of them can't stop thinking about it for weeks after.

REBLOG TO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL WRITERS<3

I aspire to have these readers. Keep writing, everyone <3

You know when you get one of those readers who comments on every chapter of your fic, pointing out their favorite parts and quoting lines that really resonated with them?

Yeah, as a writer, this is an absolute gift. ❤️

My characters to me

3 April, 1928 The Letters of Vita Sackville-West to Virginia Woolf (1924-1941)

Anne Sexton, from a letter featured in Anne Sexton; A Self-Portrait In Letters

sorry my fault

for some reason ive had to viciously fight the overwhelming urge to add “dawg” to my every day vocabulary for like, the entire past month. No one i know says it. where did it come from? why is it here?? how do i get it to stop??? no but seriously i think ive heard it like, twice my entire life how did it get into my brain and why wont it leave.

a notice to writers of multi-chapter fics with long breaks between updates:

Sometimes, when I see an update, I don't remember what happened before. I then take the opportunity to re-read the fic in its entirety, starting from the beginning, which is honestly a real treat. I get to re-experience the fic and pick up on foreshadowing I never noticed before. And then it feels like the new chapter lasts even longer because it takes me so long to get to it.

Honestly, I love it.

So that's just one more reason to never feel about about taking a long time to update.

Im honestly a little frightened by the current situation. Thank you, everyone, who added to this. I also used to just scroll past these websites, but I’m most certainly going to try and use a VPN now.

Still scared. But I can be scared and protected now.
