Adding something to the SFW vs NSFW fics as well as longer and shorter ones. It's not a secret sex sells and it's exactly the same in the written world, so unfortunately no matter how hard you try smut fics will usually get more interaction. I'm someone who likes a good balance, because pure smut very rarely caters to my preferences, but if there's an interesting plot involved I don't mind it as much.

It all depends on my mood tbh, but I also noticed most SFW fluffy or angsty stories are pretty short, just blurbs or headcanons. I personally prefer longer fics, even if just oneshots I like when they're at least 20k (thank you tumblr user baekhvuns for your service btw). Shorter fics often feel rushed and unfinished to me (no shade, because I read a few great ones, but I usually feel a bit unsatisfied cause the potential for a longer fic is often there). The way fics are written matters as well I can easily get turned on/off by authors' wording especially during smut scenes, but also as someone on the aro spectrum I don't always enjoy the romance bits, sometimes it's too cringe for me to take, so there's that.

Sorry it's so long haha, but that's my personal take and from my experience I know many people feel the same. It's just easier to engage people with a longer and more balanced story (smut-fluff-angst) though it's much harder to write. In the end you can never satisfy everyone, so if you truly enjoy writing don't get discouraged, there are people who still wanna read your stories and that's what matters.

oh i love the way you worded your opinion and agree with everything in it!! 💓✨🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

“It's not a secret sex sells and it's exactly the same in the written world, so unfortunately no matter how hard you try smut fics will usually get more interaction.”

(borrowing the format from miss kanaiii) that is so very true, it’s so unfortunate because, because of this many writers who prefer writing fluff get forced/turned into the mindset of “if i write smut ill get more success or notes” and i see it quite often but i think as much as interaction they get, it doesn’t satisfy their own expectations ifykwim

;;;; like don’t fall under peer pressure into writing smuts just bc u wanna be a ‘big blog’, sometimes quality over quantity of smut is vvvvv good!! so many ppl appreciate those big long fics that feel like an escape after a tiring day or a piece of cake that’s still saved !!!

“I'm someone who likes a good balance, because pure smut very rarely caters to my preferences, but if there's an interesting plot involved I don't mind it as much.”

HEY ME TOO!! i prefer reading fics that are a mix of all of like fluff angst smut, because that way the smut actually hits you and you actually enjoy rather than it being like an odd on out. i absolutely 100% agree with this bestie u took the words out my mouth and worded them so smartly ily

“most SFW fluffy or angsty stories are pretty short, just blurbs or headcanons.”

“even if just oneshots I like when they're at least 20k (thank you tumblr user baekhvuns for your service btw).”

yeah def def,,,, im sure everyone notices that how there’s a lack of good long, nicely written angst that ends in a sad ending. that in its own sense would break me entirely, i usually see reactions as fluff and angst ones but i don’t quite often (tho there r some) see full blown like 10k+ fics with those types of themes in it.

BFMWHDMWBDMWHDKS <333 i feel like i have written fics so long ppl can read it in 15mins bc they’re so use to it,, next fic 80k 😭😭😭😭😭 jkjk coincidentally was just writing my fic too !! thank u bestie i will keep doing the same!!

“Shorter fics often feel rushed and unfinished to me (no shade, because I read a few great ones, but I usually feel a bit unsatisfied cause the potential for a longer fic is often there).”

THIS. THIS. THIS. it’s so true omg there’s so so so many fics that could be converted into much longer ones and it’ll just be chef mf kisses !!! i absolutely understand the frustration you must feel when you read a fic and it ends ?????? and u feel so empty bc there could’ve been SO SO much but then again what can we do 😭😭😭😭 daydream about possible endings me thinks

“The way fics are written matters as well I can easily get turned on/off by authors' wording especially during smut scenes,”

i- yes, there’s quite a lot of pet peeves for me that happens when i read certain fics. which is not bad but for me, personally, i cannot read it. agree 100% with the smut thing bc i skip over the smut if ik it’s not well written or it’s not needed or it’s very cringe to read fbwnfbwmdbwm + the romance part yeah when it’s not written nicely (also not shaming no one for their writing skills or anything, just a personal preference!!! no intention of harm or anything) i kind take a leave. it’s the “daddy fuck me” “slut, my slut” im RUNNING SO FAST U THINK FLASH IS SLOW

and no bae please don’t apologize <3 thank you, i loved hearing your take (u so smart bestie the way u wrote it ✨) and seeing how quite a lot of ppl feel the same,, it’s not easy to say certain stuff like this bc ppl take it differently fbwmfnwm,, and yeah, you can’t please anyone, so take the chance and please yourself with the works you wrote !!!
