#commenters are the real mvps

[revenantghost]

Shout-out to Trigun fanfic writers for being some of the best creators in any fandom I’ve ever stumbled into; y’all are doing fantastic work and I send much love, gratitude, kudos, and comments your way

#Trigun #I can't sleep because my neighborhood sounds like a warzone #And fanfic is keeping me from getting me all upset #THANK YOU AUTHORS YOU'RE THE REAL MVPS #I'm so behind in my reading #But every time I hop into my tbr I'm BLOWN AWAY #I do my best to leave all the comments as I go #IT'S THE LEAST I CAN DO #THANK YOU

[wigglys-dikrats]

i really can’t emphasise enough how wonderful it is to receive a comment on a fic

even if it’s a simple ‘wow this was great’ or ‘good job!’, i light up

it’s really encouraging to see that what came out of my brain translated well and was received by someone who also enjoys the thing i wrote something about

keep leaving comments on fics, you’ve no idea what kind of impact you could make on someone esp if they’re struggling with the motivation to keep writing

#before this year i hadn’t written anything in four years #and now i have 12 completed fics to my name #and i want to write more bc of the wonderful things people say about my work !!!!!! #yes watching the hit numbers rise and kudos numbers climb is exciting #but incomparable is the feeling of getting the notification that someone took time out of their day to let me know they appreciated my fic #it’s something really truly special #if you’ve ever left a comment on a fic. you are the real mvp #fic writers love seeing your thoughts on what we’ve made #we gush about it to our friends and fellow writers #we appreciate you and we thank you #fanfiction #fanfic #fic writer #ao3 #archive of our own #my post

Apologies to the One Mutual who is about to have All of my Tim Drake Thoughts. Didn’t even realize I sent you like 8 paragraph messages at like 9am until it happened

#lyric speaks #look i have a lot of feelings about tim drake #this was your mistake Mouse #I was already pretty parasocial commenting like 4-5 paragraphs on every one of your fics #and then you WILLINGLY gave me your tumblr after I bullied you about not having one #and like posting tumblr links in my fic comments #really it was over for you the second you said you thought i died #you activated my Tim Drake Complex where I immediately became attached and parasocial #showing up and breaking into your apartment like you’re Dick Grayson rn #anyways i sent Mouse like 8 messages about a Tim Drake CMV i wrote in my brain like 2 minutes becore #none of my irls are mentally ill enough abt Tim Drake #(though im working on it my best friend legit sent me 2 Tim Drake posts (he has never interact with DC)) #and I realized i can just tell Mouse all abt the Tim Drake Songs and Ideas they give me #anyways shout out to theresamouseinmyhouse you the real mvp #also go read thier Where The Bats and Birds Roost series #Ultimate Fav frfrfr

whining sorry

i am super lucky to have very interactive anons, people who I recognise who reblog my work with excited tags or leave lovely replies. but recently the interaction number game (400 notes, 6 reblogs, 2 with tags) is just. really getting to me, i guess. I’ve blocked a lot of minors recently, seen a lot of empty blogs that just say ‘21, here to read fics’. i don’t block blank blogs as long as they have an age indicator - they might regularly interact with me on anon, what do I know - but . . . i don’t know. i just would like to know people are enjoying my fics and not leaving pity likes or mindlessly scrolling.

i am not a huge fan of people seeing writers as ‘content creators’ and not fans of a media. i don’t need thousands upon thousands of notes or to be revered in any way or to think myself above fans who maybe don’t feel confident sharing their writing. i just want to get excited about concepts with other people and maybe get some feedback in tags or replies instead of just a little click of a heart.

also i think I am currently shadowbanned/ not showing up in tags so the ‘reblogs spread the possibility of fics being read and likes do very little’ thing is also getting to me a bit sgjkfhj

#nat.txt #tbd #i do appreciate my anons and regular commenters. #I never want it to seem like I don’t #u guys the real mvps #anyway goodnight sorry for whining

just another tweet that made my cry out of happiness for katya today :')

Oh my god thank you so much for sharing this!

Link here to the Tweet photo: x

Link here to the TikTok video: x

Katya deserves everything and more and this was such a meaningful moment for her and I’m so glad she could share it with her parents. Everything we know about her family that she’s shared has told us that they’ve been nothing but loving and supportive and I’m so glad she’s had that in her life and they could see just how loved and how much she means to people. It truly warms my heart to know that they’ve always been there for her and believed in her. It’s so special that they could see their child reach such great heights. They know more than anyone just how much Katya’s been through and all she’s had to overcome to get to where’s she’s at so to see her celebrated in her hometown must feel very full circle. This isn’t the first time she’s said that she didn’t think she’d make it to 30 so to see her at 40 happy and healthy and thriving must be the best feeling in the world. I mean it when I say we’re so so lucky to still have her. Katya brings so much joy to others and is so beloved because of it and for good reason. I hope she feels nothing but love from this experience, I’m so so happy for her.

#thanks to the ​mvp haran #so glad she took this screen shot because I checked the comments under the TikTok video #and this person deleted them lol #but I’m choosing to believe it’s real #her mother is an angel just like her #‘her number one fan’ god this is all so sweet #this video gives us another angle of her speech #and while the lighting isn’t great for showing off sweat it is close enough to show the tears #as if any of us needed another reason to get emotional #what else is there left to say I’ve full blown cried because of Katya multiple times in the past 24 hours #so please forgive me I’m spiraling

One Year Later - A Reflection

Today is the one year anniversary of the very first fic I ever posted - Collide. It was my first attempt at writing fiction and came out of a desperate desire to get more Remadora content in my life. Little did I know that my first foray into writing fanfic would end up blossoming into so much more.

I’ve written over 1.7 million words in a year. I know I wouldn’t have been able to do that without the encouragement and positive feedback from readers. I wrote for me, in many ways, but the speed at which I wrote is all down to my readers.

I posted nearly twenty chapters of Collide a year ago. I took a month off because I moved and I got a comment of “update soon?” and I was floored that someone wanted to read more. I was reading a ton of fanfic at the time - it’s when I found the Flying Colours trilogy and that became one of my favorite fics. I was maybe halfway through Collide when I realized how AO3 really worked, and that’s how I found Flying Colours.

Anyway, it was in that month between first posting and the update comment that I really dug into the most popular fics and had a lot of “I like this, but what if we made it Remadora instead?” That’s how my time traveling Tonks series was born. I started it in October of 2021 and began posting in November. It remains my favorite work to this day.

Since then I’ve written a LOT. I joined tumblr and found some really lovely people here. I joined discord and learned how that place worked. The HP fandom is way more varied than I could’ve imagined.

I hated having to admit I needed to take a break, but I’m feeling good about the next year of fanfic projects. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into both next gen stories and Tedromeda!

Anyway, this post was long and somewhat rambling but it’s mostly a thank you to my readers for giving me so much joy and helping me achieve my writing goals.

#remadora #writing #remadora writer #writer stuff #i get a comment and want to write 100k more words just for you #my readers are the real mvps #my readers are amazing #readers are the best

hey there! list five things that make you happy, then put this is the askbox of the last ten people who reblogged something from you! spread the happiness and positivity <3

i've had a lot of stressful stuff going on in my life lately and it's been hard to focus on the things that make me happy, so this was a perfectly timed reminder to not dwell on the dark things of life and find joy in daily living 🥺

my husband and the way he is so full of life and love and vitality even when i am exhausted and grumpy and a little mean, he is so good at cheering me up and taking care of me when i need it, and always seems to know exactly what i need

my pets, especially my disgusting skrunkly little boy grave dirt and how even tho he is nasty and ugly and smells bad he is overflowing with affection and personality

drawing and writing and showing my art to people and having their art shown to me and the sense of togetherness and comfort that comes from being in online fandom spaces

#work is kicking my ass #and a sense of impending doom from being a queer person in midwest conservative america is slowly draining my will to live #but i have a lot of peace and comfort and joy in my little private spaces in my home and in my fandom experiences #and that is getting me thru it #so so so grateful for things like fests and zines and the lovely people who put their art into the web #and allow me to feel like i am socializing and making friends even when i just leave a silly little comment #yall are the real mvps #skylar shut up #ask game #asks

it is the BEST watching someone live as they go through your fic and getting a notification for a comment for each chapter they read

#jaybirdsdelight you are the REAL MVP!!! #and a comment on EACH chapter??? #what a blessing #THANK YOU

[soliusss]

shoutout to that one person who left a 700 word comment/review of one of my fics. My brother in christ you nearly wrote an entire fic yourself /positive

#ao3 commenters are the real mvps #solius posting

[ahdriking]

People who leave comments on every chapter of a fic are humanities greatest heroes

#honestly there is nothing more entertaining #than waking up to a string of comments #that is someone slowly going thru ur work and losing their mind #i LOVE it #the real mvps

[lackingspace]

Null Moon has me gasping for air. You’re writing is flawless, and while I’m an absolute sucker for Dwayne, you’ve got me hooked on Marko 😩

I'm always happy to be a catalyst to an obsession 🖤

#welcome to the marko bandwagon #thank you tho 💕 #um always touched when ppl comment 🤩 #youre all the real mvps 💯
