Been thinking a lot about this ao3 exchange I had last week...

Can we please normalize shouting THESE WORDS ARE ACCEPTED when we agree with someone?

"Ironically, I think whites as a racial culture are defined by the lack of ethnic nepotism. I don’t think it ever happened in the US that a Scots-descended businessman would want to keep the business entirely Scots and deny jobs to Swedes. And everybody and their dog seems to be 1/4 German and 1/4 Irish and 1/16 Chocktaw… Now, as a comparison, I was writing to a girl in some dating app and I said “You look kinda East Asian” and she replied “Kinda East Asian?! 100% pure blooded Han!” LOL. This is the level of racial-ethnic consciousness (and nepotism) that is normal in most of the world. In fact, that is why whites have a problem with Jews, they are not used to ethnic nepotism. Most people on the planet would find it entirely normal because they are doing the same thing.  Ethnic nepotism is deep down extended family nepotism. They are not simply hiring co-ethnics, if they can, they will hire fourth cousins. This boils down that in a low-trust society you can only trust relatives. Whites have invented the nuclear family, without deep extended family ties, individualism, and a high-trust society where trusting strangers is normal. The disappearance of ethno-racial consciousness and nepotism was simply downstream from this. Universalism, the idea of universal human rights and suchlike is a super white idea, originally IMHO developed in Paris, and clearly the flip side of individualism. Is it a Christianity-rooted idea? Perhaps, but there are many Christians from Greeks to Armenians and Georgians who are not interested in it.  The good news is that every time desegregation is not enforced, people spontaneously segregate. The 1960’s civil rights idea that blacks want to see white faces in their neighborhoods, schools and churches was basically a lie. They want the money, yes, and if the only way to get the money is to tolerate white faces, they will, but they are not that super happy about it. Here in Europe our elites are basically bribing the Muslims to stay here, because they actually don’t like to live in places with miniskirts, public drinking and the smell of roasting pork.  The white identity had arisen due to the age of sail, discovery, colonialism, and slavery, as an opposite of the brown natives. Scots and Swedes found they have more in common with each other than with the natives. People who did most of this sailing, were mostly of a Northwestern European background, and this is how whiteness contains some cultural, not only biological aspects, such as Protestantism, that is, a certain culture of practical-minded “dryness”, more engineers than artists compared to Catholic Europe. Here in Central Euro we tend to have national identities, not a white identity, because we did not sail much and thus everybody we met was mostly white, even the Ottoman elites tended to be much whitened by intermixing, slavery and renegades. So race is not an easy concept for me either. Especially if I look at my steppe nomad side of ancestors."

hi there! i recently stumbled across your gravity falls fics on AO3, mainly your 'Knucklehead, Poindexter and Hotpants' fics, which i greatly enjoy. i particularly liked 'Stan's Guide to Locker room Politics.' it's amazing how you managed to take a small scene of Carla and make her into a fully fleshed out character that fits in seamlessly with Stan and Ford. I know you said you most likely wont finish those fics, but if you should ever write more of them someday, I'd love to read them!

Thank you! That's so sweet of you to say!

I make no promises, and I don't want to give you false hope, but I have absolutely gone back to previously abandoned story ideas before. Guardian, in particular comes to mind. It's still not finished because the storyline I have (very roughly) plotted out for it is rather long, but it sits at thirty-nine chapters after being revived by its readership twice.

Guardian was originally posted as an already abandoned, one-chapter concept/prologue. More of an idea than a story, really. But it received some noteworthy attention among my fics at the time (I was focussed on Gravity Falls and I am very much a niche author there. They weren't crazy numbers/stats. Just good for me.) and I realized it provided an excellent excuse to play with my fave three outside of a high school setting. So I kept going with it. At some point I even reworked the summary and that initial chapter.

The second time, the fic had been sitting abandoned for over three years at chapter thirty-seven. One person, over the course of days and what was clearly multiple re-reads, pretty much love-bombed (I'm using the term positively here.) the fic in the comments. It wasn't every chapter, or every other chapter, but it was obvious that even abandoned and without a proper ending someone out there enjoyed the story enough to come back to it again and again. The unexpected attention wasn't a magical panacea, but it did inspire me enough to go back and eke out another two chapters for the fic.

All that to say, don't underestimate the worth of the fanbase or your place in it. Audience reaction and participation down in the comments section can be an incredibly powerful motivator for many authors. You might be surprised how far genuine engagement can carry a story.

Happy reading!

Sometimes you delve into the comments the comments actually reward you.
