I really like your stuff :) love how you write Dante <3

Oh. Hello Anon-san! I...okay, I have to let you know that I pretty much looked like this the entire time I read your Ask.

I'm glad you like how I write the crazy woo-hoo pizza man. XD But I have to say thank you, very much, for making my day. Maybe one day soon I can find where I stuck my muse to write things and get something up for him again. And finish other things that have been sitting idle for so long. >< THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAAAAAY! <3

[mandakatt]

A BIG HIIIIYYYEEEE!! Love you and miss you! I hope things are going well for you these days❣️

Momo!

Sending all the love back at you! I'm doing alright I think? Stuff is starting to settle into place I suppose XD We'll get there though! Missed you too Doll, and I hope you've been doing alright too!

...Oh my god, this was from LAST YEAR?!?! *stares at Calendar* Er... two years ago now?! HOW IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS TUMBLR DID I MISS THIS?! Sarah-anon, if you're still lurking about HIII I ADORE YOU! I hope you're doing well and what not! [ And I feel like such a dolt for not seeing this sooner. AHHHH! ] Please to forgive me for being a doofus and not saying hi at all. ><

[mandakatt]

*flops into inbox* Miss you. Love you. Hope you're doing well.

Ah heck! Good thing I keep lots of pillows around here for you to flop onto so you don't hurt yourself! XD <33 Hiya Doll! Long time no talk! *looks around her tumblr* and long time no post for me, huh? Uh, whoops? *picks you up and hugs you tight* I miss you too Doll, and much love back to you! I hope things are going well for you on your end of the world! I adore the stories from you that I see pop up now and then! [Surprise, I still lurk and read on your AO3. X3 ] As far as things for me? Couple of bad roomies here and there before I decided to pack up all my shit and move cross country to another state to start over. I'm still settling in to my new place, [ and by proxy a new position at work. Yay promotion] and I am *still* unpacking things. Who knew I had so much STUFF?!!? But, maybe one day the inspiration to create will come back to me and I'll start posting here again! [Or on any social platform really. >>; ] Take care of yourself Doll! Stay in touch when you can! Much love always!

✨You are not a failure for having writers block.

✨You haven’t “let your audience down” for not updating in a while.

✨You aren’t a bad person for writing about problematic content.

✨You can always take a break from your writing, even if it’s for a significant amount of time.

✨You can always leave a project, work on something else, and come back to it later.

✨You aren’t a “bad writer” for only having a few projects.

✨You aren’t a “bad writer” for only having a lot of projects.

✨You aren’t a “bad writer” if you decide to only write about things that are important to you.

✨You don’t owe anyone continuous updates for a project.

✨You are a writer, and that’s enough.

ao3 is not instagram, and it’s not embarrassing to comment on a story that’s old. we understand that you just happened to come across it now; writing is magical in that you often come across the right story at just the time you need to read it.

also, authors will literally cry over their keyboard if you comment on the stuff they write.

Hey friends. Do this:

This probably took this person 3 seconds to do but it immediately told me that they liked my story enough to come back and read it again and they liked it again the second time.

Your favorite writers Do Not Know that you think about their stories after you read them. I generally assume that my stories make people happy for the few minutes they’re reading and then they never think about it again. To know that that’s not the case and that someone has returned just makes my little heart swell with joy.

I needed this today. If you’re the person who left this comment (or if you’ve ever commented on any of my writing) I love you.

Dear Writers Everywhere:

1. It’s okay if you lose interest in your story. It doesn’t mean you wasted your time; it means you’re growing in your hobby.

2. It’s okay not to want to publish your work; that doesn’t mean your writing isn’t worth reading. It means you have different goals than some other writers.

3. It’s okay if you need a break sometimes. It’s frankly unrealistic to think you never will.

4. It’s okay to write fanfiction; that doesn’t make you any less of a writer but makes you that much more of a fan.

5. It’s okay to sometimes have self-doubt. After all, you are human and sometimes as humans it’s easy to fall into that trap. Sometimes the feeling doesn’t even have anything to do with the writing but has everything to do with being overwhelmed, mentally exhausted and ready to give up. Don’t give up.

6. It’s okay to feel relief and happy upon reading this. Give a like if you did and spread it to your writer followers and maybe make their day a little.

“middle aged women shouldn’t participate in fandom” and you think it’s teenagers that are writing those brilliant, incisive 100k fics of your favourite characters

For those on DA that want to 'Opt Out'

This was just implemented after the amount of Feedback DA got. So, at least this is better than what they first started with.

“Transformative work is about repairing the deficiencies of canon” no, transformative works is about using canon as raw material. Sometimes that means fixing the canon. Sometimes it means making the canon worse. Sometimes it means slapping a pair of Groucho glasses and a silly hat on the canon and hoping nobody notices what’s really going on.

tumblr allowing titties again is cool and all but are they gonna do anything to un-blur all the accounts that have been blurred for things like titties.
