Current wip

Write a line of your current WIP and tag someone else to do the same 🖋️

Thank you @bigalockwood for the tag🫶 here is a part of chapter 7 of sportLOVE:

Normally, Erik is always the one that gets the bigger, better things; Wille doesn’t mind it that much, not when it means he doesn’t have the same responsibilities as his older brother. Still, the feeling of being special —and in a good way for once— has always made Wille’s stomach flutter.

“Simon stared at the stack of letters in his suitcase. In a few hours, he’d finally see Wille again, after an entire year apart. He should be happy, elated, vibrating-out-of-his-skin-excited. Instead, he felt nothing but dread at the prospect of what he knew he had to do.”

Mine are getting some much needed release after attending a protest together 💜 (Wille’s first protest actually! Simon thinks it’s incredibly hard and had a hard time focussing on anyone but Wille)

How are your wilmons doing today?

Mine keep texting each other heart emojis and pictures of cute animals hugging. It's really getting out of hand. Wille just sent this to Simon:

before the poll, a quick definition of terms:

"mutual" - you found this post from a mutual (on their blog or your dash) "following" - you found this post from someone you're following, but who isn't following you "random" - you found this by scrolling through someone's blog, who you don't follow. this includes people following you "For You" - you found this on the For You page "recommended" - you found this in a "Check out these blogs" popup, or a "recommended" post when looking at a different post "other" - you found this post some other way. comment how? "reblog ✅" - you're going to reblog, queue, or schedule this post "reblog ❌" - you're NOT going to reblog, queue, or schedule this post

with that out of the way:

The 'write for yourself uwu' culture shift has done real damage to fic writers imo. I recently had a post on the importance of strategic commenting break containment and I'm surprised by how many strangers who rb it in agreement feel the need to reassure in the tags that they do write for themselves, but...

There is a kernel of truth in the heart of this sentiment--if you only chase stats, you are unlikely to find joy in your writing. At the same time, I think we've veered too far in the other direction.

It is only natural to want engagement and the write for yourself crowd often overlooks how communal an effort fic writing usually is. So many story ideas are born from casual discussions about h/c's and favourite scenes and what ifs and the comment box is a cornerstone of this process. Not only can the discussions in the comment box be a hub for idea generation on their own, but even when the said idea generation takes place in DMs or Discord chats, commenting is often the first/easiest way into befriending authors; it's where community building starts.

Further, the write for yourself crowd similarly overlooks that the things a writer can write for themselves are often vast and many at any given time, and relative engagement levels across fandoms/ships can play a large part in which of those ideas a writer chooses to pursue--or whether they choose to publish their finished work at all.

In sum, I don't think we need to be this apologetic as writers for wanting feedback and engagement for what we post -- writing is hard work and it's only human that we want something external out of it in turn, however rewarding the process might intrinsically be.

#comments and talking things through with Hannah significantly changed how suburban legends is progressing #initially it was so so different #protest fic exists bc lia and i can't shut up about activist!wille #i love talking my plot through with hannah #bc it allows me to get out of my head and create distance #and genuinely i think makes my fic better #so yeah #community!!! #anyways
