What would you say is a good word count for a chapter? Of course, this is flexible and depends on what's necessary in a given chapter. But I think there is a general guideline because a chapter needs to be long enough to be satisfying, but not so long that it feels too much. Thoughts?

I personally write 1-3K per chapter (and 3K is rare for me). Other people average 5K or 10K or more. I find it hard to read more than 3K at a sitting, so that’s about my max as a reader but I’ve had comments on my chapters saying that they’re too short. 

All that is to say that it’s very subjective. Still, how about we get people to respond to this with their favourite chapter length? That should give you an idea. 

Readers and writers alike: how long do you prefer your chapters. K=1000, so in my example 3K is 3000 words.

u ever get really apathetic about your interests for no reason so u just start cycling through all your past hyperfixations in ur head out of an inexplicable need to feel passion for something

Kingdom Hearts is the Homestuck of videogames. It’s too long, too complicated, and anytime anybody tries to explain it to me I black out.

Speaking of Hamilton, it’s super fucked up the reputation it gets because of some of its more immature fans. Like, yeah, okay, there are people out there that are treating the founding fathers like “uwu cinnamon roll characters” instead of the actual real life people they were but that’s….not the show’s fault? The show does a better job of showing them as flawed human beings than MOST historical media, which tend to glorify them and completely ignore all flaws and shortcomings.

But more than that, it’s fucked up that the show is starting to get a bad reputation or be regarded as “cringey”. This is a show that shattered records and set milestones in theatre, and it is a show that is like 99% non-white. It’s a show that was written BY a man of colour specifically to CREATE more roles for performers of colour in an industry where he always felt there was little to no room for them. Can we not discredit that or its importance just because some teens on tumblr don’t know how to be normal about a musical they like?

Hello, I´d like to share with you and your followers something I got from a writer in my fandom years ago. They left already but their words stuck with me. I´m going to share the wisdom with you in my own words.

Every time you get notes/kudos, imagine real people standing in front of you. Did you get 20 kudos? It might seem like it´s not much but would you fit so many people into your livingroom? It´s 20 REAL PEOPLE who decided to read your work and liked it. Imagine giving each of them a hug!

Did you get 50 kudos? Giving 50 hugs would take some time but you could give them cookies instead. Imagine 50 cookies. It´s a lot!

Did you get 100 kudos? Go to a mall and count 100 people, you´ll see it´s actually a lot more than you thought when you saw the number.

Did you get 500 kudos? 1 000? Well, it starts getting a bit overwhelming when you imagine such a crowd but it´s AMAZING that you made so many people happy with your writing. And you´d need a living room the size of a cncert hall to fit them all in :)
