my mythology pet peeve is when someone describes a scenario in which they keep nearly getting something and then having it snatched away, and everyone's like "one must imagine sisyphus" no!!! one must imagine TANTALUS!!! sisyphus = being made to perform a pointless, aggravating task over and over without ever making any progress. tantalus = being offered a glorious reward only for it to vanish as soon as you reach for it. they are NOT the same
As someone who does read and write smut for the aesthetic appreciation I wholeheartedly agree with everything written here
How do fanfic writers feel knowing that people might have been masturbating to their work?
once again:
I WROTE THAT??????????? ME??????????? I WROTE THAT WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS???????????? NO FUCKING WAY. I WOULD NOT WRITE SOMETHING THIS DISGUSTINGLY HOMOSEXUAL.
i'm still learning about tumblr... do people.. look for mutuals on here? ive been writing for my entire life but im trying to get back into it in my old age (literally 25)
i'd love to make writing mutuals and like/support each others works whenever we have the time or just support each other in the writing journey !! reblog or follow or like or whatever & we can be mutuals !!
reblog if people r allowed to send u asks as if theyre ur friend. wanna tell me how ur day went? do it!!! ask me for advice? sure! ask a personal question? go right on ahead!
"I didn't comment on a fic I liked because I don't think the author would care or remember my comment anyway". fanfic writer here, I still remember comments I got on my fics from seven years ago. I still think about them and they still make me smile. your kind comments are what motivates us and what helps us keep writing.
I personally know writers who take screenshot and print out comments they got from their readers.
TL;DR comments matter to us writers more than you think. if you like a fanfic, never be shy to let the author know ♡
