Here is the secret to fandom:

Give zero fucks about what anyone else is doing.

Seriously.  I mean it.  Because inevitably you will love something that no one else loves.  Or you will love something that everyone loves and people will shit all over it because it’s “so trite and unimaginative and done.” Or you will love something that no one else has ever heard of.  Or you will love something dark and edgy and or obscure and people will roll their eyes and say, “What, do you want people to think you’re dark and edgy and obscure?”

Alternatively, you will not love the thing that everyone else loves, and you will wonder what precisely is wrong with you that the sight of that thing is aggravating the shit out of you now when the whole world sings its praises as one.

People will irritate you.  They’ll irritate you with headcanons that make no sense and misinterpretations of canon.  They will make the same jokes 500 times.  They will overwhelm your corner of fandom with something you either are tired of hearing about or don’t care about.  They will post art that isn’t theirs.  You will meet people who think you are the greatest person ever and bombard you with messages  only to wander off when they find someone new or shinier; you will meet people whom you admire and who do not really seem to notice you exist. 

So give zero fucks about it.  Seriously.  Like what you like, blacklist what you need to blacklist, and ignore everything else.  Be friends, play nice, enjoy it.  And in the meantime, just do you.  Like what you like, love what you love, and to hell with all the rest of it.

Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

*whispering under my breath furiously, repeatedly*

It's a passion project, you're allowed to make mistakes, it's a passion project, you're allowed to make mistakes, it's a passion project, you're alLOWED TO MAKE MISTAKES-

cannot recommend more putting secrets and hints in your creative work that you dont expect anyone to figure out

people telling you they reread your fic is the biggest compliment you could ever receive. there are thousands of stories out there begging to be found, to be explored, but your story meant so much to someone that they came back to it eagerly, they went over every word again. to love is to return and loving a fic is rereading it. thank you to all readers and rereaders <3333

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

I NEED TO READ I NEED TO WRITE I NEED TO CREATE I NEED TO DRAW I NEED TO CLEAN I NEED TO WORK OUT I NEED TO LEARN *watches YouTube for 6 hours*

"It's just the same art/writing/trope done already, it's boring and overdone" I do not care, it makes me happy. I drink fruit juice because it's my favorite, are you gonna tell me I shouldn't because everyone else also has a favorite fruit juice? We don't have to be mad. Ill buy you strawberry milk if that's what you like and we'll drink together

biggest crucible of putting any creative product out there on the internet to see it agonizing over the details for far too long, finally getting the courage to hit post, and then the moment afterwards being like 'oh no i've totally overestimated the idea that anyone besides me will ever like this. i am a fool' and sitting in that feeling for far too long before realizing that AO3 takes a while to update or you've posted your meme at 3am when most of the people you know are asleep
