[invisibleanonymousmonsters]

oh, the memories

you suck, you can’t take a joke and always need some kind of criticism about your work, always complaining about people not commenting enough about your work and complain that no one is reading it, are the likes and reblogs not enough for you?

OMG! Thank you so much. You’re so sweet. Thank you for taking the time to write me such a lovely message. Hope your weekend is great!Love you! ❤️

I tried to look back at my anon messages during the time I posed that 2021 answer that's now randomly getting reblogged everywhere.

Wonder why I stopped writing for certain fandoms.......... 🙃

why do I feel like you’re an overweight fat bitch that has a worthless job and that’s why you write and fantasize about men you can’t have?

HAHAHAHAHA!

Honestly, the attempts by anons to be mean to me are so fucking funny.

@keldabe-kriff

Yes! You nailed it and I never even thought it about this way.

As someone whose job is actually working with influencers, I never made this connection. 🤯

There is a clear before and after when it comes to the fanfic community during my time writing. People used to see positive comments, encouraging messages, and passionate book reports as their payment for my writing. It gave me the motivation to keep writing my fics.

But then, slowly, people stopped thinking they needed to do that. And instead they only kept demanding more and more from me. “Where’s the next chapter?” “Why don’t you take requests?” “Can you add me to your tag list so I don’t have to check your blog all the time?” “When’s the next chapter coming out?” “How many chapters will this be so I can just come back and binge it when it’s done and not encourage you through the process at all?”

After reading your message, I realized that people have been convinced that all of the Internet is meant to be a gluttonous experience: More more more. On to the next thing. No time to pause and appreciate.

Fanfic in fandoms used to feel like a community on here. I don’t play D&D, but I think that fanfic writers are sometimes the dungeon masters of the fandom. But the people on here made me not want to run the game anymore.

Bestie I’m afraid to tell you this... but if you don’t want any negative feedback on things you write and only want the positives— you might be in the wrong business. I don’t think the person meant for it to escalate as it did, though they were harsh but part of being a content creator and sharing means having the criticism. Every writer needs criticism to grow and become better, no one is perfect enough to just know what their writing needs sometimes a different perspective is needed.

First of all, don’t call me your bestie.

And this isn’t a business.

I’m a fucking fanfic writer.

I write for a fandom, for free. I do not get paid, so how the fuck is it a business?

I’m not a fucking professional writer trying to get published. This is a hobby. A hobby which I decided to share.

So, no, I’m not trying to get random, anonymous assholes with no clout to send me rude messages and “feedback.”

Crazy that you’re defending someone who was just straight up rude. Maybe you should learn some manners, too.

(Also very confused why my post that basically announced why I quit writing fanfic has suddenly started trending 4 years later…)

jason todd is not fit for hookup culture nor will a friends with benefits situation work because once you’re in his bed, you’re in his bed.

when he sees you getting up from your side of bed he doesn’t even think, he just wraps a arm around your waist to pull you back into the sheets.

“jay… I need to find my clothes so i can like, do things.” you whined.

jason just yawned. “well, i don’t plan on releasing you from my grip so you’ll just have to suck it up and lay back the fuck down huh?” saying it with some grogginess in his voice but he sounded so certain.

he knew you’d just huff and lay back in bed with him and cuddle in the big blanket.

[invisibleanonymousmonsters]

and please remember to stay up late because that’s free time

[invisibleanonymousmonsters]

You: *kneeling at Jason’s grave* Jason you can come out now, you won hide and seek. They’ve given up.

Jason: *opens his coffin and steps out of it* no one ever expects me to use my own grave as a hiding place. Almost fell asleep too, i had it good when i was dead. I should attempt it again sometime.

*later on*

Dick: OF FUCKING COURSE HE’D HIDE HIMSELF IN HIS OWN GRAVE, MORBID LITTLE BASTARD-

This.

(Although I personally cannot stand people asking for tag lists because those same people do not comment either.)

Why fanfic writers are disheartened.

My last oneshot is a perfect example. I posted it on Tumblr and on AO3, and over the two platforms, despite 560 likes and 130 hits, there is a total of four comments.

One of them is asking to be on my taglist (nothing wrong with that at all, it's the place to do so). One of them is someone tearing apart the last scene, saying it was rushed and didn't feel believable.

Only two of them are actually nice, encouraging comments about the fic.

Out of 690 people who have likely read my fic, only two people took the time to let me know they appreciated the work.

This oneshot was a request, because I often take requests from people, and write exactly what they want to read. It took about five hours for me to complete and was beta read by another person.

We do this for free, on our own free time, and while we often do it because we are passionate, it would be nice to get some encouragement and some appreciation.

We do this because we love the fandom(s) we’re in. We take the time to invest into them, so might you please take a bit of time to invest in your local fanfic writers?

“To me, the core of that attraction is that she is a better reporter than he is. Think about being Superman for a second. The Olympic record for weightlifting is 1,038 lbs., but you could lift more than that as a child. The record for the 100 meter dash is 9.58 seconds, but you can travel over 51 miles in that time. Going to Vegas? You don’t need your X-Ray vision to win at Blackjack, because you can just count the cards while holding down a conversation about nuclear physics. Without really trying, you are better at just about everything than anyone else in the world. However, (as Mark Waid once pointed out in a podcast with Marv Wolfman) none of that really translates to your chosen profession. Typing really fast does not help your prose. Being able to lift a tank does not help you convince a source to go on record. It is as near to competing straight up with normal people as Superman would ever be capable of. Even then, it comes easily enough to him that you get a pretty lofty perch at a great paper very early in your career. It is just in this one context, there is someone better than you are: Lois Lane. As mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent, you reach up for the first time in your life and she rejects you. To me, it is an inversion of the Luthor story. Luthor sees someone above him and feels hate. Superman sees someone above him and feels love.”
