Lance Has Blue Eyes Right?? Am I Tripping? Why Does So Many Fanfics Say He’s Got Brown Eyes?? Am I

i’m going to say something that might make me seem ungrateful, but i think it’s true of many fic writers:

we want you to leave comments ON ao3.

we’re not angry or disappointed or anything like that when you leave qrts or lots of tags on our fic posts, not at all. we don’t NOT want you to message us to tell us how a fic touched you. but in addition to that, please consider just copying those words and posting them on ao3 as a comment.

why?

the reason is simple: leaving commentary in other places is ephemeral. story posts get pushed down. chats get pushed down in the list of chats, or worse, pushed up in lists of messages as the conversation continues. but comments on ao3 are easily accessible. and this is important because writers read and reread these comments regularly.

writing, especially writing longfics, is exhausting and drains your confidence over time. having a collection of people who enjoyed your past work at your fingertips is an excellent way to build yourself up when you’re feeling down. fic writers need this a lot.

i know over the past few years there’s this trend to be very descriptive with what is an “acceptable” comment. that’s all nonsense, as long as you’re not being an asshole, just say what’s on your heart.

but post it on ao3. please.

Weirdly anti-millennial articles have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now two feet down into the topsoil

After reading the manga a while back, I thought "what if Touya never woke up from his coma?"

When seroroki gets autocorrected to serotonin

They will not stop me from existing comfortably, only for their comfort.

It is my existence, it is my life, and it is the way I choose to live, that matters.

And I choose to live, rather than simply survive.

I'll thrive, without worry if you're staring.

Because you are not important enough to me for it to matter.

I matter.

Neurodivergent people shouldn’t be expected to mask for your comfort.
