i think it's so funny when I remember that, once, someone commented on one of my fanfics asking to repost it in russian (im brazilian, just to make sense why i was like đ„ș), and to me that was one of the most amazing things anyone has ever commented. yes, folks, leave comments on the fanfics you read because it's absolutely wonderful
It still makes me giggle when i remember
you read stuff on wattpad for shit and giggles where most of the fics there are reader-inserted ones written in 1st person pov where y/n is a barely legal white girl with blonde hair and blue âorbsâ whoâs so smol and fragile that sheâs dependent entirely on this morally questionable guy whoâs killing people for a living but for some reason happens to have a soft spot for her.
you read real actual literature on archive of our own where itâs two middle aged men, who are each otherâs sworn enemies, with tragic past, trauma and strong homoerotic tension. and while theyâve made each other bleed, killed each otherâs friends and loved ones out of jealousy / possessiveness, lied and betrayed and manipulated, the rawness, depth, complexity and slow burn will keep you up all night, haunt you during your day and possibly change your life forever. and also the sex isnât just smut. the sex is poetry that puts Shakespeare to shame
Becoming a writer is great because now you have a hobby that haunts you whenever you donât have time to do it

There's nothing more important than writing what you want to read. Don't worry about who will like your book. Don't worry about what market it can neatly fit into. Don't cut corners or blunt edges to satisfy an imaginary person who might dislike aspects of your art. It's yours. Treat it as a pure expression of your soul. Compromise is for cowards.

"Would anyone want to read --" Listen, imma stop you right there. Yes. YES, someone would want to read that. You write that weird little fucked up story. Or that domestic little slice of life story. That drabble or that 300k monster.
I promise someone wants to read it.
