Moved here in the wake of the great tumblr nsfw purge of 2018. What's currently here are my archived posts from that blog. Multi-fandom artist and writer. I also have a DeviantArt under the same username.
bc it was affecting someone else and i just want to say it:
if you want a fic, and your author hasnt been writing it, and you’re curious what the deal is?
ask. nicely.
do not demand. do not say shit like “oh i like this fic you have to update it because i like it, i’m desperate for more and you have to do it for me.” say please. say excuse me. don’t just slide in and go “write more.” NEVER just slide in and go “write more” jfc. its like some people don’t understand that writers are people too.
you’re best off just saying “oh i love this verse” or “i thought this idea was fantastic and i loved it”. demanding things from people never makes them more likely to do it. if someone starts demanding shit from me, i stop doing it entirely because it stops being fun. your best bet is to just show that you like something someone does. interest and validation is so much better than demands for more, seriously.
if you absolutely must ask for more: say please. say “i really enjoyed this, when you get the chance i’d love it if you’d work on it a bit more” or something. make sure you mind your damn manners, writing is hard and unpleasant and sometimes incredibly un rewarding don’t just come in with your “goddamnit its been three months, where’s my next chapter of your fic” what the fuck is wrong with you why would you ever think that’s acceptable
writers are people too. fans are still people. fandom is not the most important thing in anyone’s life.
just be fucking nice to writers god damn it. i’m sick to hell of seeing my favorite writers get frustrated over and over responding to anons telling them ‘write more’ or ‘i want more of this universe you specifically said was over or you dont like playing in any more’ absolute FUCKING hell just BE FUCKING NICE
Actual review I have received while going through a difficult time in my life:
You bitch! How could you stop on that cliffie and not touch the story for two years! Boo you whore!
…Yep.
I deliberately avoided working on that fic for a further two years purely because of that.
Precisely.
How hard is it to just have some fucking common courtesy??
