I am begging people to be normal about completed fics, and in particular one shots.

I am begging people to stop demanding more from authors, and insisting that one shots need to be longer or have sequels.

I don't think yall understand how many fanfic authors are one more "where's the rest of it?" comment away from throwing out any plans they might have had to continue an idea.

Unless an author like specifically says they might write more for an idea, just-- assume something marked as completed is complete, and respect it as it stands, please.

#dog barks #not dp #fanfic #few things are more frustrating than pouring your heart into something only to essentially be told it's not enough #consider writing your own fic inspired by a one shot if you really vibe with it!!#I know a lot of fic authors would love to be asked if someone could write a fic inspired by their work #We're all here to share creative works that we make for fun #and I'm just continually frustrated when people wind up treating fic writing like it's youtube content #I know it's not intentional but please think about how you interact with artists and how demanding more more more content is soul sucking
