skeleton armies of the undead are only Like That because they've been rudely awoken from slumber and forced to complete random tasks they have no personal interest in. like you've never awoken in your comfy cozy grave/bed in a vicious bloodthirst over being forced to go to work. hypocrite

Hey, hey! Friendly reminder to make sure your supposedly “fearless” character gets their darkest fear revealed in the worst way possible so they break down into a vulnerable shaking mess in front of all the people they care about

Oh my god. Bungie put an article for National Coming Out Day!

These are official wallpapers with sexualities! Sobbing! He he, I was right that Drifter is bi/pan! This confirms he's pan! Also Mara is confirmed to be bi!

There's also a free code R9J-79M-J6C for the rainbow transmat effect that you can pick up from Rahool.

I have some advice to writers in fandom: if you start to feel like fandom is making you dislike your own writing, get the hell out. Do not wait, do not pull halfway out, fucking go. Fandoms are vicious and there are people out there who make themselves feel better by tearing others down. Waiting for likes teaches you to externalize your sense of self-worth. Reblogs and follower counts become unspoken competitions.

Leave with your sense of self-worth intact. Loving your writing is worth more than anything you could possibly get out of fandom, I promise you.

It could die but it would not stay dead, it would shake off the rot and rise again.

So, if you ever see fan authors saying that no one comments on finished works after the first week, this is what they mean:

A person can only leave kudos one time per fic (two times if they’re sneaky/dedicated, but let’s face it, most people aren’t THAT invested) so that line represents individual readers.  You can see how that increases steadily over time, as more and more people discover the work.

In theory, if a certain percentage of people who read a fic are likely to leave a comment, that line should increase at a steady rate to match the kudos line. Instead, it practically plateaus after the first week or so.

So no, fan authors are not complaining when they say that they almost never get comments on older works - they’re simply telling the truth.

A few notes on data collection: All works were for a single, fairly small (in the English language) fandom (less than 1,000 English-language works). Data was collected across 12 works total for a single author. Data is for 100 days following the posting of the completed works.  For one-shots, this is from the date of posting.  For multi-chapter works, it is from the date the last chapter is posted.

If you have similar data to share - especially for a larger fandom - I’d love to see it!
