13 fics to me that is crazy. Can I say I truly enjoyed Striking Out. I really don't understand the hate you got for it. Understand not liking what a character is doing but in the end its truly just a story that the author is creating don't read if you don't like. It's tagged angst with a happy ending. There is going to be parts that make you feel sad or mad but it will get better. Sorry I just really loved what you have written for the story.

It's crazy to me too, anon 😁

Thank you, that's very sweet of you to say - and I do agree with you, when I read a story tagged with angst, I'm expecting angst! Over time, I've come to think that maybe some people took the actions of the characters in that story a little too personally, and that's why the reaction was as... intense as it was.

Either way, as much as I have gotten some negative and demotivating comments on that fic, I have also had some truly lovely ones that have been a joy to read - stuff a lot like this 💖

#ask #ily anon <3 #not to vent too hard (hence hiding away in the tags lol) but as i've been thinking about it the last few months #i think a big part of the reaction was readers not heeding warnings about content they may struggle with #i've written two fics around the topic of abuse - both including warnings that they will cover this topic #and in both instances i had people telling me they had personal experience with it and didn't like xyz part for xyz reason #including one person actually telling me i triggered them #and i don't want to be insensitive but if you have triggers around domestic/psychological abuse... like #i'm sorry but maybe reading a story on that topic is something you shouldn't do? idk #all i can do is warn you man #the rest is up to you #and end rant #🙃
