𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐅𝐘𝐑𝐄 & 𝐋𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐓𝐘𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐋

Prince Balerion Blackfyre, Queen Daenerys half brother visited his mother's kingdom, The Reach seeking more alliances with the Reach itself as well oversee the construction of a secondary home for House Blackfyre. While there, the Prince lay eyes on Margaery Tyrell's cousin, Alla Tyrell, recently free from the false accusations against her and her cousins. Attendants say the prince and lady danced over the night and talked. For those with eyes, it was clear that the prince had taken interest in the beauty. However, in those days in Highgarden, it's said the prince was going to be received with a maiden to attend to his needs at night.

Instead, Alla Tyrell appeared on his room and acording to servants, the lady lost her maidenhead that night with the Prince. Rumors spread of a romance, and the Prince paying extra attention to the woman. If anyone opposed to the flirtacious and romantic relationship, no one said a word, when the lady began to wake in his room. Regardless, before leaving Highgarden, Balerion speaks with her parents and to send word to his half-sister the Queen, to approve of the match. They say the half-dragon could not get enough of his little rose and wanted to take her to his new Keep, Blackfyre Rush, in the Crownlands while the new home in the Reach is built.

ASU-NARO Vrs. The Ministry

On one side we have the eighth seeded ASU-NARO, hailing from Your Turn to Die - Death Game by Majority! On the surface it's an upstanding medical company, but in truth it's the most powerful crime syndicate on earth. It's biggest crimes include: Hosting a death game, training assassins from birth, and experimenting on human memory. In the other corner we have the ninth seeded Ministry of Beholder fame! This megalomaniacal bureaucracy runs the entirety of the so-called Great State. It's biggest crimes are: banning anything foreign (ranging from music, to salt, to penicillin), throwing low production employees into an industrial shredder, and euthanizing anyone over the age of 65.

Now, being the votes!

The duality of man and snake (there's no duality in snekk, he just grumpy)

the primarchs are the sons of the emperor. the sons of the emperor lead the legions like the thousand sons and also the emperor's children, neither of which are the emperor's sons

If it gets ten kudos, I consider the fic a success. Because, when you think about it, ten is a pretty solid group of people. Like, if I were to gather those ten people in a room, I would probably feel a little intimidated knowing so many people read and liked something I wrote. But I'd also be really happy since, hopefully, the fact that they liked it also meant I made their day better. And improving the day of ten people is definitely something to be proud of :)

I need to print this and put this on my wall, or just have a screenshot of it on my laptop. I had stopped writing for a while, just because the engagement with my fics was so low. The kudos is always okay but the comments were so low, it made me doubt my ability to write for sure. And it's still in my brain now but I am writing on a Stony fic I had stopped and it's nice to write and think about.

So yeah, I need this on my wall. 😊

Go right ahead! I'm very happy if I can offer comfort or motivation :)

I also want to point out that there's nothing wrong with wanting engagement on one's fics. I just try to put my expectations into a context that's easier for me to grasp. I think it's easy to just go "I want as many kudos as possible" — which, again, is valid — but I prefer to focus on what's beyond that. Like the joy I'm bringing people and the difference I might be making in someone's day.

That's not to say that I don't love when I get lots of comments and kudos — of course I do — but I try not to expect them. And, if I do get them, I try to appreciate them for more than just their number. Which is one of the reasons why I reply to every single comment. Because they're not just a statistic to me. There is an actual person on the other end of that comment and it blows my mind that people take time out of their day to write them. I'm just so grateful for every single one.

Also, just a casual observation: Certain fandoms seem to be having a problem with dwindling comments. Not going to lie, I was pretty surprised when I wrote for Marvel again for the first time in years because I got fewer comments than I ever have. Like, the number of comments on the first two chapters of my Stuckony fic is roughly the same as the comments on the first two chapters of my Mad Dog fic. And Mad Dog is an obscure Kdrama from 2017 that literally no one cares about. The comments on the Mad Dog fic are also a lot longer and more thoughtful.

That sort of thing depends on what kind of people are in the fandom, of course, and if there's a previous bond between the reader and writer, but I'd say it's not just you. Something has definitely happened within certain fandoms that results in authors getting fewer comments.

And maybe me saying this ruins the encouragement you were able to get from that other reply of mine, but I want you to remember that: it's not you. It's not that you're a bad writer, people just don't seem to be commenting like they used to. Which is discouraging for sure, but at least it's not your fault.

And maybe reframing how you look at kudos and comments will help? It's definitely okay to want them — we all do — and it's understandable to feel sad when we don't, but please don't let that stop you from writing. It's not your fault and you shouldn't doubt yourself 💜

So good luck with your fic and I hope you have lots of fun writing it! 😘
