Just realized that it's likely my fanfic gets more positive feedback than the stories my brother (who told me I couldn't tell a story for the life of me) has published professionally. Now some of that is the fucked up world of publishing, but also, fandom can be so nice. And I feel so fucking validated when even one person reads something I wrote. And we get comments! Short story anthologies may get sold in stores, but fanfic gets kudos and comments.

#to be fair my brother isn't teying to make a living as a writer #and he's mostly good to me - he's just my younger brother and was maybe trying to impress our dad who brings out the worst in us #part of me wants to show him my fic and show him there's at least a few people who like my stories #the rest of me is mortified at the possibility of him finding it and reading the smut #personal
