amidst all the fic ‘criticism’ I hope fic writers are resisting the urge to internalize the nonsense. Fic comes from a place of love and we don’t need to optimize hobbies. It took me time to get here but I love my own writing unconditionally and I hope you do too. you DID THAT
So heres a tip for readers who yearn to be Karens to fic authors: we are not paid to write therefore you are not our customers. You are not always right. We lose nothing by you leaving and therefore gain nothing by putting up with your attitude. We quite literally dont owe you +
If all fanfic writers have to look forward to is hate and negativity for sharing works for free, then why the fucj would we continue to give it to you for free? At least if we turn to paid publishing (non fanfiction, bc fanfic cant legally be monetized) we get paid for it and +
To all my fellow fanfic writers: I love you and appreciate you. You inspire me to keep writing my stories. You amazing me with your world building and characters. Thank you for sharing a slice of your wonderful brains with us 💜

what's with ppl recently and their obsession with wanting to bully tf out of fic writers and then playing victim when they receive an ounce of pushback cuz ppl don't like, y'know, being bullied unprovoked by internet strangers

forget about writing well some people cant even read well. i know because some of you genuinely think that saying "your shit sucks" = literary critique
This obsession from readers to force hobbyists into their perception of perfection for their own enjoyment is the most entitled bullshit culture shift i have ever seen. Like be so fucking serious, yall are so egotistical and you sont even see it bc your ego is through the roof

1) you don’t have to “accept” anything because frankly it isn’t for you? this is very entitled language to be using about someone else’s hobby
2) no the point of hobbies is not to “improve” the point is to have fun and express yourself. and if that includes “improving” then that is a personal choice of the person engaging in the hobby and has nothing to do with random people online

everyone knows fanfiction is mostly written for fun, but that doesn’t mean we have to accept writing from people who barely can form a sentence + as with every “hobby”, isn’t improving your craft kind of the point? you wouldn’t applaud someone who sucks at any other art form
Who are you to decide what is "acceptable" in a hobbyist community? Who died and made you king?

Yall act like your shit dont stink. You are not king, you dont get to decide what quality of fanfic is "acceptable" in a fucking hobbyist community! You dont get to dictate when and how and who gets to participate in a hobby! The world doesn't revolve around you and your opinion!
