Wait, there are people who LIKE WIPs? Mind officially blown. O_o

yeah idk maybe just consider that all your favorite fics were wips at one point and one writer liked it enough to spend hours turning that wip into a finished fic and I doubt they were writing just to write an ending

like that fic did not emerge fully formed as a multi chapter novel length anon divergent masterpiece on ao3 one day!!! even if a fic is all posted at once, ONE person knew it and loved it as a wip or it never would have been posted at all!!!

like come on!!! think about fic writers as people who are experiencing their wip more than you ever will no matter how many times you read it and I promise the concept of liking a wip will NOT blow your mind

#asks #I enjoy all of my wips #I enjoy writing them I enjoy when o choose to end a chapter #I especially enjoy posting and waiting for people to scream about it #to me or in the comments #I very very very much enjoy hearing people affirm that what I’m writing isn’t shit #and i very very much enjoy leaving comments on other peoples wips #encouraging them and telling them my favorite moments #so they don’t think no one’s reading #I love getting email notifications that’s story I like has updated #I love cleaning my room or putting away my laundry before I read the update so it feels like #double the treat #I love talking with friends about it #what happens when people don’t like wips is that fandoms die #because writers stop feeling encouraged to write #when the writing process takes weeks #the reading process can take hours #again: the writing process can take WEEKS. MONTHS. of free time #of effort!! of self doubt! of decisions and deliberating !!!!#literally read a goddamn wip and get invested in its creation #honestly you will have such a better fandom experience #you will feel like it’s a community!!!!
