Punishing queer people for coming out as bisexual during Pride month is cruel and small minded.

Policing the limits of what kinds of sexuality can be expressed is queerphobic.

Fascism thrives when a community self-polices, and some of you are starting to talk an awful lot like cops.

I wouldn’t care about the motivation behind wonderful comments on all of my chapters. Not once. And it would definitely make me think about updating, because comments really do give me confidence and get me excited again about my story.

I say go for it!

(But I’d say maybe don’t directly say that’s why you’re commenting as it could feel like pressure.)

What are your thoughts on commenting with a goal to motivate author to write more?

I know there are not thought-crimes but I'm kinda feeling unsure about myself rn. There is a fic that I really liked and I think about rereading it. It also wasn't updated in quite some time and I know that generally authors are often motivated by comments

I'm thinking about making comments as I reread and the put them into the chapters. The thing is, my biggest motivation with it is to encourage author to write more and it makes me feel, idk, slimy? Like, they wouldn't know that that's why I commented and they would be just normal comments (+ I never ever even put anything vagueing about updates like "I can't wait to see how it will turn out!" or something, so I'd certainly not be pushy about it) but still I feel bad like I'm manipulating the author :/

So, yeah. Basically, do feel like underlying motivations matter if there is no discernible difference between the comments?

If you do a good thing for a selfish reason, is the thing still good?

From that author's perspective, I'd say probably.

If I received a slew of comments on one of my fics, I'd be elated. Depending on how many spoons I had, I'd even reply to them all.

It might or might not motivate me to continue writing, though. If I don't have an idea for where to go next then receiving a comment likely won't get me past that block.

As long as you're content with just brightening someone's day without a guarantee that it'll get you what you want in the end, then I say have at it. To paraphrase a post I saw on my dash recently, a rich man who builds an orphanage because of his own selfish reasons has still given orphans a place to go.

That's how I see it, but let's see what the rest of the blog thinks.

Idk personally, I think if you’re planning to vote for this Mamdani asshole, or you support him, you should block me. I’m so very serious.

If you can’t see the danger of him being mayor of NYC, you have no compassion or sense and I don’t want to associate with you.

I might be posting something tonight on ao3, but this is the last 20 minute session for me today before tumblr locks til tomorrow so I may not be able to post it here. Just a heads up!

And if you enjoy it please, please comment because I may not know people like it if you don’t.

How can I support Ukraine and Israel at the same time, you ask?

Because my principles are consistent - both are nations of indigenous peoples invaded and attacked on their sovereign soil by hostile, genocidal forces who want to erase their cultures and traditions and replace them with their own colonising ones.
