Me: *read all the fic there were, with the plot I wanted and the ship I wanted*

Me: what now

Me: it is time to take things into my own hands

Me: *looks at an empty word document*

Attempting to read this morning.

yeah, yeah- being cheated on feels awful, but have you ever clicked on the "next chapter" button only to find out that the page is down for maintenance?

if not, don't speak to me about real pain.

Truly nothing more embarrassing than someone asking what you’ve been reading recently and your brain short-circuiting because you can’t admit that you’re surviving on smut, fanfiction, and (most importantly) smutty fanfiction.

I'm on a "fantasy reading" online group and I kid you not, someone said

"Oh I liked Sarah J Maas books... they're not Game of Thrones, but at least she finished her saga".

THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE COMPARED.

One is high fantasy written by an author who spends time and research to do a believable world building and plot, because fantasy is based on that! No good fantasy is written fast!

One is an author who writes smut - oh no wait, y'all call it romantasy sorry - with some vague fairy villas in the background and a plot that is easily beaten by the Twilight Saga.

THE SPEED IS NOT THE FLEX YOU THINK IT IS. It's the ultimate proof of bad quality.

AND IT'S TWO. DIFFERENT. GENRES.

No. Don't even try to argue.

I'll come at you with the rage of someone who has read actual fantasy since 20 years, way before fucking booktok, and saw her shelves ruined by romance who could NOT stay in its lane.

Maybe don't take advice from someone who says something is hard... Perspectives are contagious.

[shroom-kitty]

For anyone who said that smut invading and forcing itself in every genre, even romance itself, is not a real, big problem. Yes. That's the OFFICIAL AUDIBLE account.

Me to Myself: Just tell them you enjoyed their story, and are a fan of their writing!

Myself: Okay, got it…. “Im in love with yo—”

Me to Myself: NO
