this!!! the main reason it’s so hard for me to write is because i am so tired from everything 😭

like i always say “when i’m done with school/work, i’m going home, PRYING my writing laptop open, and finishing that wip that has taken me over a year to finish.” but i get home and see my bed and all determination is lost. 😔

for me, the problem is that i always forget i can just do that. like i keep on thinking the readers want to be taken through the whole process… but i don’t think they do!! in many cases, that makes for a boring few pages where nothing’s really happening, but you don’t know when something will, so you can’t skip ahead.

anyways, all this to see: free yourself 😎

sometimes i need to remind myself that i'm writing fanfiction for free and i'm allowed to have a shitty sentence or two

So I've decided to make a point. I know hundreds of writers on here have been trying to bring this to the attention of audiences, but it doesn't seem to be getting through. So I'm gonna try. These are the likes, comments, and reblog ratios on some of my fics.

I don't get as many notes as some authors do on here for most of my work, but you can see how out of 447 people that it's underwhelming to receive no comments.

Even on my more popular fanfictions, the comments and reblogs don't even compare to the amount of likes on a post.

And here is a fact that might startle some of you;

Likes mean nothing. They mean nothing on any social media app, and at the end of the day, they mean even less here. Writers want kudos, comments, ideas, and constructive criticism. Writers want your thoughts on the work you just read. Even if it's just a simple red heart emoji or a keyboard smash, that tells us so much and gives us inspiration to write similar content for you and others to enjoy. Reblogs are even more important than comments and most definitely likes. Reblogs allow our work to reach different sides and circles of tumblr. If it's on your mutuals dash because you reblogged it, then more people will see it, read it, and hopefully enjoy it. Reblogs matter, because writers are pouring their heart, soul, pussys, and dicks into these fics and are brave enough to post them. For free. You get to read these fics for free. And the least you can do is drop a comment.

Reblog a fic to your blog if you loved it. Even better, Reblog with tags or write your comments with the reblog. We see all of it, and it makes our day. Please, you're wondering why writers for your favorite fandoms are dwindling here. It's because there is no support. If you support your favorite writers, artists, gifmakers, etcetera, then we might just stick around and continue making free content for you all.
