but like who started the idea that fanfiction writers are somehow bothered by enthusiasm for their work???? cause i see posts all the time like “do writers really want to talk with us about their fics? Do writers really want long comments? I dont want to bother them” and i just think its absolutely ridiculous????

ofc i want to talk to you about it, and would love to hear you go on about it. i took time out of my real life to write this stuff down so we could all share these characters!!! the idea that you’re bothering a fanfiction writer, a fellow nerd, is absolutely crazy

Oh my god, do I know how this feels.

you can always flood my inbox with questions about any fan fic I’ve written or just to say “hey that was really good” or “keep up the good work”

Positive reinforcement is encouraged

Absolutely same for artists omg ✌️

There’s this weird thing where people will roll up to professional writers/artists/etc on Twitter and say absurdly demanding shit like they think this artist is Michelangelo and they’re the fuckin Pope and yet at the same time we have people who apparently think some dink who writes fanfic is too cool and important to talk to them. They’re not. They’re a total fucking dork and desperate for any kind of favourable attention, jsyk.
Signed, some dink who writes fanfic.
