hey, so, putting it out there... this kind of comment isn't cute or flattering or whatever the fuck you think it is.

You could have just said you liked it, without the guilt trip.

Sure, they couldn't know my house burned down, or the multitude of other smaller nightmares... but what the FUCK

This is like the fourth PM or comment I've gotten over a number of fics like this. Some last updated 10+ years ago, like... come on people, authors are doing it for free and have other responsibilities. Also holding onto creativity and inspiration is hard, long-term, so maybe the tide comes back in for the fic you're dyinng for someday... maybe you hit a drought that doesn't break.

But comments like these? It sours the stomach and doesn't make you want to write more.

A lot of older fics of mine fell by the wayside, but I meant to finish them at some point. However unfortunately, their main files were on a laptop that they couldn't recover anything from. So that's a moot point until i recall the storyline, if I ever want to, which you know people fall out of love with fandoms or something new comes along.

And that's okay.

There's a TF2/Silent Hill fic I fell in love with over a decade ago and it was abandoned, I liked the characterisations... I've said so in a comment or two over the years when I come back to read it, but would I ever demand it be finished? No, because they might've moved on, and that's okay.

We all have an unofficially abandoned WIP or twelve.

People have lives. Work, School, Families and their drama, Health issues, unexpected shituations, a lack of creativity because it's never a forever streak of frantic typing, you never know who's behind the fic. Consider chilling.

I've seen people send this stuff to other authors too, its just like... what are you hoping to achieve?

Because it sure doesn't spark the desire to finish something, knowing people care, it's just an anchor of not so subtle guilting you're doing there.

Was this the nastiest little comment I've received? No. People have straight up told me to 'fucking finish it, I see you posting other fics you lazy cunt' to another story, and similar statements, which are easily deleted but drive the desire to finish a fic waaaaaaaay down the list.

but it also doesn't make little digs like this okay, either.

Was it necessary? Would it spark inspiration or joy? Did you comment just to share what you liked about the fic or were you aiming to get something out of it?

Is it so hard to just say 'Noice M8.' and move on with your life.

Also some of the fics I've been harassed over were written in high school, long abandoned and came over from ff dot net with me... so like, after a decade, people should maybe settle down.

hey is there any like ... tf2 Adult community i can get into or do you have recommendations to find one. i don't wanna make an alternate blog because a lot of minors follow me and i would rather it just not be a possibility at all that they may find me. but also my brain is full of thoughts. im sorry for asking anon im insanely embarrassed and im pretty sure some of my moots follow you. your art is insanely good and you're very talented thank you

IS THERE A TF2 NSFW COMMUNITY??

You know, I was questioning that myself. I really don't know much more than the fact that a lot of the tf2 spicy artists are on Twitter, I doubt that site will survive the manchild tho.

There MAY be some kind of discord somewhere. I am not part of one, yet. If anyone sees this and is in one then pls send invite. If there's enough interest I might make an 18+ discord myself, it's gonna be 18+ for sure.

Pillowfort allows NSFW (hence why I also have a Pillowfort account) and lets you create communities. I was debating making a nsfw tf2 community there but idk how many ppl would be interested. I can give out 10 invite links a week, anyone interested in an account could dm me for one.

That's about what I know, I would love to have some kind of community space for this tho. It's annoying not being able to answer and talk to ppl efficiently, this blog isn't my main.

ANYONE THAT SEES THIS POST PLS ADD ONTO THIS WITH ANY INFORMATION YOU HAVE
