Do y’all ever just…start a wip based on a vibe? Like you visualize the characters and the scenery and decide that’s enough to start a whole story?

Finding out that Neil Gaiman fought Harvey Weinstein over changes to Princess Mononoke's US release is like finding out that your favorite sibling also hated that one awful P.E. teacher from high school, and also pulled classic Ferris Buehler-sequence hijinks to piss him off. Godspeed, Neil Gaiman.

I don’t know which fic writer needs to hear this but it’s unreasonable to expect of yourself to write all the story ideas that your mind comes up with. That’s not how creativity works! Unless you’re some kind of Productivity Georg that types at a laptop keyboard all day long, your mind just needs to rotate ideas and concepts like a room full of rotisserie chicken production lines. Some of them will end up being fully written, some of them will end up being 4 lines, some of them will be concepts inside a long list of fic ideas that will never get written, some of them will just fade. And that’s okay! You don’t have to beat yourself up for having a lot of ideas you don’t write, or a lot of wips you write a few lines or pages of and never finish. You wouldn’t expect an illustrator to just churn out full-ass paintings all the time, an artist will also just make sketches, line art, warm-up exercises, will just scribble some lines on a piece of paper. Your ideas and wips are just the same thing: warm-up sketches, exercises in creativity. And it’s also okay if you never really produce full fics, as long as your brain enjoys the exercise. Jogging across the neighborhood is not useless unless you win a marathon! It gives you endophins and strengthens your muscles and is healthy for you all around, right? Your fic ideas and pile of wips are the jogging. They give your brain the happy chemicals and exercise your creative muscles. You are not a failure for not turning your ideas into finished products. That’s just how it works.

Perfectionism is hell. Eveytime my sentences isnt the perfect line ever written my brain thinks i is the foulest thing on the earth. It only worsens when I see good writing by a writer who is probably thinking the same thing about their writing.

Honestly, the toxicity spreading on Tumblr like a disease is starting to get on my nerves. Not to get petty, rude or anything, you know, but some people should just shut the fuck up. Don’t tempt me to buy you a muzzle.

Gosh. Sorry not sorry, but I feel like I could explode right now☺️❤️

I am so tempted to shut my requests down permanently, once the event and the other requests I have in my inbox get done. What the actual fuck.

I know it would be rather drastical, but you are going to read just whatever I feed you. Go thank some immature idiots for that.

Writer 1: Needs to know everything about the story before you can begin

Writer 2: Wings everything. Hardly knows anything about the story. Doesn’t know what’s supposed to happen next

Writer 3: Makes detailed outlines but never follows them

Writer 4: Is a mix of Writer 1 and 2

Writer 5: The sleep doesn’t exist writer

So which one are you?

It's okay if your first draft sucks!

Creating is hard. You're literally sifting through the dark recesses of your mind piled to the brim with chaotic thoughts and ideas, and desperately hauling them out into the light. Of course it's gonna look like shit at first!

Be patient and kind to yourself. You need time to take what you've brought back, rearrange and experiment with it, and eventually curate it into a beautiful story.

You're still getting to know your work. Don't give up on it just before you discover the beauty beneath.

Pals. Friends. Hellsitemen. The hits-to-engagement ratio on ao3 is meaningless. A low amount of kudos compared to the amount of hits doesn't mean people read your fic and disliked it, or just didn't care enough to bother leaving kudos.

Personally I've clicked on a million links to fics on tumblr posts that recommended a fic or under fanart inspired by the fic, opened the fic in a tab, looked at the tags, went "okay not for me/not what I am feeling right now" and closed it.

That's it! The hit can just come from someone who came in and figured out they were not in the mood for that fic, or the tags included something they are not into, or squicks, or anything.

Who knows how many times this has happened on the same fic? It's not like we can remember the title of any fic we opened and chose not to read.

Don't obsess over hits not turned into signals of engagement. No fic is everyone's cup of tea (or even the fic one feels like reading in a specific moment!), and to figure out if a fic might be your cup of tea you often have to open the tab and read the tags in the fic page.
