#i just. thank you so much

[froggiewrites]

Since you reblogged something about anonymous opinons- mine is that you are one of, if not the, best One Piece fic writers on tumblr at the moment. And no, I'm not being dramatic or overly flattering or anything. You're just really good at it! I feel like when I read your stuff I can tell how thoughtful and intentional you are when you're writing. It's super refreshing and makes me jealous, since you're so talented. I especially appreciate the dialogue and grammar.

I hope you have a nice holiday tomorrow (if you so happen to celebrate or do anything special) and I look forward to your next piece. 💙

Oh my god this is so incredibly kind of you to say 😭😭 Thank you so much. I'm so humbled by how wonderful the response to my writing has been, I could never have dreamed of so many people enjoying my work. Genuinely, I can't express in words how grateful I am for the kindness I've received.

Thank you so much for this, anon. I can't stop smiling now. I'm going to have a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family tomorrow, and I hope everyone else who celebrates has a wonderful holiday too 😊 and to those who don't, I hope you have a wonderful normal day 💙

You're just not toxic enough.

lighthearted.

if this comic resonated with you, please consider donating to this palestinian escape fund (vetted by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein) as it is less than $7,000 away from it's goal.

i turn 24 today. To celebrate, I made this comic to be a spiritual successor to lead balloon, a comic in which I talked about the darkest period of my life so far.

A lot has changed since my 23rd birthday and this one. My priorities have shifted a lot, in ways that I think are mostly good. But i think the best part about today is that suicide has gone back to being a far away notion. I'm really lucky, and I'm grateful for that.

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.
