It kills me that I can’t leave multiple kudos, and frankly, if you held my attention for a whole chapter, you get the kudos. It’s hard to put your writing out there, it’s so vulnerable, and when you’re in that state, it’s easy to interpret silence as apathy at best, active dislike at worst.
I really don't understand how "without getting kudos or comments a fanfiction author is going to assume that people who clicked their fic didn't like it" became a controversial take.
I don't know why some people think an author should imagine, or guess that people who click their fic enjoyed it it when nobody is telling them that.
If you're re-reading a fic constantly, or leaving it up in your tab so that it re-loads every day for a hundred days the author is not going to know that unless you tell them. They'd love to hear it. It would make their day.
And if you don't tell them you liked their fic, there's no reason for them to assume you did.
I feel so strongly about this. It is a spiritual practice walk outside every day in the growing season and appreciate the chaos of my garden. Last summer I had a yellow primrose volunteer itself, the summer before that, a wild orchid. Every spring is a joyful surprise. What will grow this year? The lawn is sprinkled with tiny white flowers and clumps of buttercups that I mow around. Once upon I had plans, designs, now I toss flower and vegetable seeds alike, and anticipate the results.
I can't imagine being offended by the dandelion out of place.
i do think we need to start treating spraying harmless "weeds" in your lawn as utterly absurd princess and the pea level of obsession with needing the world to revolve around your every whim, like.
Okay a flower grew out of the ground outside and you can't cope with it. Do you need to sleep on thirty feather beds as well
How am I supposed to be normal when Vander told Vi “whatever happens it’s on you” days before he died and she carried that for seven years before anyone told her that what happened to her sister wasn’t her fault
I can’t imagine anyone doing this based on my fanfics but I will definitely be writing fanfic fanfic.
reblog if you’re okay with people writing fanfics of your fanfics and/or fanfics inspired by your fanfics
It’s easy to conceive of Vi as a fuckboy because she is superficially more masculine but emotionally it’s clear that she is the exact opposite of a fuckboy.
It feels like there’s so many more fics where Vi is the “womaniser” or “fuckboy” when CANONICALLY it is Caitlyn “snuck girls in through her window” Kiramman
LET CAITLYN KIRAMMAN GET GIRLS
I did it. I finished a story. It's the first multi chapter story I've ever completed. It's the length of a novel. I could write a novel.Of course this one is unpublishable. But if you'd like a bit of problematic A/B/O smut that is dark and angsty and also nice and fluffy, and if you've been dying for some transmasc representation, and if you do not know me IRL and don't speak to anyone who does....

No. Sorry but she has to live. Dead lesbians in media are stacked to the ceiling.
Also Vi should have been allowed to die. Stop taking her family from her. Let her go with them.
the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.
tumblr irl meetup but we won't say who is who, instead you get a list of all the blog urls that are attending and you have to try to match each person with their blog. You can ask questions but you can't ask for the blog name directly.
it's like crime dinner but instead you gather clues by observing who laughs at which dick jokes.
I would be pissing her off on purpose.
i need this butch so bad
Owwwww
