Dear fandom,

Let’s talk.

This is an open letter to all people reading fan fiction. Whether you stroll AO3 for your favorite tags, have been on ff.net since the Before Times or read on tumblr or any of the other wonderful alternatives.

What gives?

Wonderful and passionate authors are writing thousands upon thousands of words dedicated to your favorite (and usually not canon) couples, characters and series. Writers are spending hours and hours working on chapters, battling writer blocks, revising, sending works off to beta readers, second round of revision and then post their chapters. And after? After all that work?

Most twiddle their thumbs waiting for reviews that won’t come.

They post more chapters hoping that it just needs to pick up a bit. A few reviews drop in here and there. The story definitely gets read judging by the amount of views and likes… And finally the author loses interest.

And stops updating.

What gives?

Why have we stopped reviewing? Why have we stopped saying even a simple “thank you!” after reading a chapter? @birkastan2018 writes frigging essays (❤) but do you have any idea how happy an author becomes just seeing a new review pop up? Just a thank you, or some words of encouragement or even a keyboard smash. Instead, most writers face crickets.

Review every chapter. Just send two words if you’re intimidated: “thank you!”

If not, write down your thoughts. A sentence you thought was beautiful. An idea of how you think the story might progress. Fangirling/boying as your fave pulls off his/her shirt. Anything.

Doing nothing is killing fandom. Saying nothing ensures authors will stop updating an a fandom slowly dies off. Stimulate your writers. Be enthusiastic and witness how a fandom will thrive even when the series it’s based on is long over.

Doing nothing is killing fandom.

Please be there for your authors.

Summary: “Jane what the fuck?” Anne voice broke through the still air. All eyes turned to her as Jane gave her a reprimanding gaze.

“Language.”

“What are you doing?” Boleyn ignored the comment as she pointed at Seymour’s cup.

Jane’s eyebrows knitted together as she looked down at her cup, surely she hadn’t done anything wrong. “Making tea? Is that a trick question—“

A/N: From @waterloobasin’s dialogue prompted requests “just admit that I’m right” (i’m sososososo sorry this is so late i don’t know what happened but I hope you like it:)

Catalina loved Jane very dearly. She was her best friend, the one she trusted and loved the most, the one that managed to make her feel better even on the worst days, and though she wasn’t exactly sold on the concept of it, perhaps even her soulmate.
