I make a post about how smut writers shouldn't be discouraged if their smut has a low hits to kudos ratio, because people are just afraid to kudos smut.

I get told in response that AKTUALLY smut has a low kudos to hits ratio because people are re-reading that smut.

I make a post about how if you're re-reading a fic a lot you should tell the author because they won't know that and will think no one likes their fic.

I get told that authors should just ASSUME that it's re-reads without needing to be told.

I post a smut fic that gets 100+ hits in its first 24 hours of posting (therefor no re-reads counted) and this smut fic with 100+ hits gets zero kudos.

I make a post about how if you read a fic on AO3 it creates a 'hit' and if the author gets a lot of hits without kudos or comments or response, the author will assume no one liked their fic.

I get told that authors should just ASSUME that everyone who clicks their fic likes it, without needing to be told that.

I make a post reminding people that fanfiction authors are not mind readers and that there's no way for them to tell a hit from a person who clicked a fic by mistake, or hated the fic, from a hit from a person who liked it, and if you don't tell the author you liked their fic they will assume you didn't.

I get told that authors aren't entitled to comments or kudos, or to a certain ratio of kudos to hits.

NO SHIT.

But if they don't get comments or kudos, they're gonna assume ya'll didn't like the fic!

I think about this meme a lot.

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

Bad Influences!

Little sketch of Carm and Mira getting up to no good!

(I'll be colouring this soon so wait for that to be posted!)

If you've watched B99, you might remember Gina making an appearance during Jake & Amy's wedding episode as the uber driver!

I really like to think about how Carmen and Isabela's worlds would collide and how they'd interact, so naturally I spend a lot of time picturing how she interacts with each member of the family!

(Personally I like to think Mira goes out of her way to make sure Carmen feels included with the family, since she knows what its like to sit on the sidelines sometimes! + I reckon they'd both be very cheeky together!)

(Beatriz and Rodriguez’s friendship goes all the way back to a small-time 2008 short film called Super Chicas (so small-time, in fact, that it’s never been released). “… We’re friends and the first thing I ever, ever, ever did on film was with her,” Beatriz said.) -https://slate.com/culture/2018/05/gina-rodriguez-and-stephanie-beatrizs-brooklyn-nine-nine-courtship-a-timeline.html

Also! Chapter 45 is going well, hopefully I'll have that posted soon... then 46 concludes RMU! Don't worry, I still have plans for Carbela but I just need to work things out first! :)

A girl can dream.

One day i'll have a tiktok where I talk about Carbela and people will be like "wait yes I see the vision" so I don't have to grab the same two mutuals shoulders and shake them violently whenever I have a new revelation about the couples dynamic.

Inactivity!

Hi carbela nation, sorry for my general inactivity on here- tbf tumblr scares me and i've been a little busy with my own stuff.

I know some of you have been waiting for screenshots of the Carmen Sandiego game + RMU chap 45 (i'm trying to work on it trust!)- but life keeps getting in the way.

When stuff frees up a little more/ when I'm not feeling so frazzled i'll be back. Please keep up with Carbela shenanigans over on insta and lmk when you want the Carmen screenshots posted!

[carbela-nation]
