When your favourite fanfic has been updated.

To the people who are saying Dan might have been pressured into painting his nails by the people who wanted to see it, consider this: people have been trying to push him into firmly and finally giving them answers about his relationship status for seven fucking years.

So far, he’s managed to do what he wants, anyway. That doesn’t really scream of someone easily swayed by popular opinion, at least about the things that he truly cares about.

And yeah, so he might have not painted his nails, had his fans not asked him if he’d do it. He also might have never tried to make punk edits of himself, rapped or written a book. The creator/fan relationship, at best, is interactive, so we should only be glad he wants to make us smile, if nothing else.

Not to mention that seeing a guy with paint on his nails and a smile on his face is just a really cool thing to see, even in 2016.

In fanfiction there is a difference between being a good writer and a popular writer. 

Just because you can write a well-structured story with dynamic and consistent writing and characters doesn’t mean you will be popular. And sometimes stories that have disorganized plots, mediocre writing, and/or OOC characters will be held up as the greatest things to ever exist. 

Just because your writing isn’t popular doesn’t mean you are a bad writer. Don’t ever compromise who you are, who your characters are, your plot, your writing style, anything for the sake of readership.

There are popular writers everywhere. But there are only so many good writers.
