#Most of the hate I've gotten are from trolls. I usually just block and move on with my life

have you ever had to deal with hate in a fandom if so how do you deal with it?

Hmm maybe be a little more specific? Do you mean hate in general or hate directed at me? Tbf I kinda deal with both in the same way lol and that is: the block button is your best friend!! If someone is being downright awful and toxic in your fandom space, or if you're getting hate messages for no reason, you don't have to deal with that. For me specifically I usually don't try to start shit (sometimes I do tho LOL without meaning to. If someone says smth nasty and I have a rebuttal there are times where I do answer back even tho it's probably best not to give haters any attention). Just block and move on. You get to curate your own fandom space, if smth makes you uncomfortable you don't have to put up with it. Just make sure it's not YOU that's being the asshole. People will call you out for that and sometimes you need to hear it. (It's happened to me more than once.)

Also keep in mind that not everyone will agree with you, and that's okay! I've had my fair share of disputes bc of ships or opinions or whatever else, and that's just bc people like different things, or have differing opinions. It's impossible to get everyone to agree with you, or for you to agree with everyone else. And that's how it SHOULD be :")

Just take care of yourself out there! Block people who are rude or make you uncomfy, be respectful when someone challenges your opinion, and have fun!!

Basically this is my philosophy LMAO

Fic writer asks: 🍜🍢🍚 --- 💞

🍜 do you ever feel pressured to write

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY every second of everyday. But that's mostly myself and late stage captialism putting undue pressure on me to create 24\7. If I've learned anything from my time creating either as a writer or mixed media artist, is that good art comes from patience, love, and time. Sometimes we get lucky, and the muse is GOOD and the flow is perfect and I can whip out a chapter update or fic in just a few days, but most of my best stuff has come from MANY revisions, breaks from the piece all together, and time.

🍢 have you ever gotten hate on a fic.

Lol yes, and honestly its almost always the same one. I absolutely LOVE The Eden Club and sex worker Connor. Alot of the haters, which at this point I'm pretty sure its the same troll I keep blocking, can't handle the fact of that particular universe existing so they come after me and inexcusablely the other commenters. At this point, its so much easier to delete, block, and move on than feed the trolls. Especially because I KNOW I have a huge following of people who LOVEEEE sex worker Connor 😍

🍚 what genre do you have the toughest time writing

Honestly anything fantasy or super world detailed. I really struggle with setting up vast settings\detatiled worlds which is why fan fiction as a genre is so fun and beneficial for me. I already have the benefit of most of the world fleshed out already and then from there I can do my best work. Which is usually deeper character relations, back story, romance and angst

Thanks so much for these @disdaidal !!!!!
