I know people hesitant to reblog and can get how you must be feeling after working so hard over a fic and people not doing the minimum of dropping a comment. But from the time BTS has enlisted there is an over all slag in fic been written and readers too. Like I remember during Covid there was so much good stuff written and also updated on regular bases. I know writers have their lives too but some time updates r tooo slow and with Wicked it some time so happened that I had to go back re read some stuff so I could get what was happening. Sorry if u find this annoying but if updates r regular then readers will engage more. Like I know many who like to binge read so they will wait for like atleast 4-5 chapters and then read. And it may take some time a year for that kind of update. But surly Wicked deserves a lot of attention. Sorry for this confusing ask all I want to say is I get your side of story but slow updates is also on of the reasons for low engagement rate is what I want to say
I respect your side of what you feel might cause a lack of engagement, but it really comes across as definitely a reader and not a writer, as I simply don’t agree that updating quicker will solve the issue of more engagement. Wicked chapter 18 and 19 we’re back to back updates, posted only a week a part, and the drop off in people sending in asks was very stark.
In fact I went on a six month hiatus to finish writing the story of tease so I could update the rest of the story (12 more chapters) consistently, once a week, that was when my engagement dropped the most, and I’m talking went from 1.2k notes to only 300.
And if updating more regularly is the solution to this then surely only three weeks shouldn’t have caused such a sharp drop off? When I posted chapter seventeen after eight months it blew up, I honestly feel more inclined to say that quicker updates cause people to disengage because they’re simply able to binge read multiple chapters at a time with little thought about engaging with an author.
I’ve seen more people then I can count continually drop likes which tell me they’re binging reading and I rarely ever get a comment, let alone an ask on the 50,000 words they just consumed, in five hours, did you guys know a regular fiction novel is only 80k words??
14k words takes a little over sixteen hours of non stop writing for me to produce. Now imagine working full time and having a life outside of writing that only leaves one hour on a week day to relax.
I guess this take should be expected, as being a good writer only rewards you with more work and the same amount of engagement
The only thing I really gain from this is to stop writing such long fics 🤷♀️ I’ve enjoyed the process, don’t get me wrong! But it’s honestly become too much of a hassle to maintain and not only this it makes me even less inclined to want to write anymore. I’ve watched a lot of incredible authors leave this site over the course of my time where and I never thought I would become one of them but here I am
#missy answers#anon#makes me just wanna delete everything because it makes me feel exploited and gross#i very consciously use the word consumed because if you’re binging 80k in a single sitting on a regular basis#you are no longer enjoying something#you’re just…#consuming it

“these characters should be mentally healthy before they get together 😌” ummm no I actually think we should smash their mental illnesses together like clumps of play-doh and see what colors it makes
#they should live under each other’s skin in a way that’s weird to everyone else. actually.#also on a more serious note since this is getting notes mental illness does not preclude people from deserving love#or the ability to give and receive it#it also does not make you inherently toxic#sometimes people are just toxic anyways of course#and a lot of people enjoy a toxic ship and are relating that to this and that’s cool!#but like#if you believe that’s the only option you’re wrong buddy#people can be worse together but they can also be better#acting like a character or a person has to ‘fix’ their trauma or what have you to be worthy is. a fucking weird mindset.#but anyways!

The funniest aspect of a child crime fighter is that sometimes they’re going to run into something that makes no sense because they don’t have the life experience. Because they’re nine.
Like Robin runs into a guy who works for The Penguin and the guy just throws his hands up like, “Don’t hit! I’m not an enforcer. I’m an accountant.”
Robin:
Robin, squaring up: I don’t know what that is.
#Robin who does know that Dracula was a Count: …you’re a vampire#Accountant: no! I just count things#Robin: I know the lore!#Robin#dick Grayson#batfam

Attention Pennsylvania voters!
Senator Bob Casey’s race is now at a margin of 0.53%.
An automatic recount in PA is triggered with a margin of 0.5%. That’s a difference of 0.03% or a little over 2,000 votes. We need to make sure every ballot is counted here, and there’s thousands of uncounted ballots right now due to voter error.
Did you mail in a ballot? Check to see it was accepted here:
If it says anything other than accepted/counted/etc, your ballot needs your attention. A mistake in filling it out means that your ballot will not count unless you “cure” it. Check your county’s curing policies:
See full instructions for curing by county here.
You have until November 12 to cure your ballot in PA.
Do you know someone who mailed in a PA ballot? Please pass these links on to them. You may be the difference between their vote counting or not in a super close race.
Everyone else, you can help PA voters cure their ballots. If you live in Pennsylvania, you can help canvass in your county (see links in this thread). If you are in another state, you can sign up to call voters and help them cure by phone.
Want to help another state? Sign up for a shift through November 19.
#signal boost#us politics#kamala harris#pennsylvania#bob casey#us elections#if you’re feeling sad i promise this work will help lift your spirits#it feels good helping empower voters to make sure their vote counts#pennsylvania has tons of rules with mail in ballots where voters can make mistakes#the harris votes in pa are most suspicious to me#we just learned all the pa democrats in the state legislature held onto their seats#highly unusual for harris to be so low if downticket races are doing this good and bob casey is this close#a recount would mean all ballots recounted and charged to the state not the campaign#edited the signup links to go directly to the mobilize pages#if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask#by my count we still have 16 house races too close to call and the seats are 199-211 currently so every seat counts to hold trump back#full instructions link is now updated

the amount of ways we have to qualify the geoncide in gaza in order to get people to care is actually sickening to me. “it’s a feminist issue!” “it’s a disabilities issue!” “it’s an environmental issue!” like i’m sorry but even if this was happening solely to able bodied men and was causing no harm to the environment, it would still be wrong because it’s a genocide and these people are being bombed and killed and starved every fucking day. you shouldn’t need an extra label to give you a reason to care about people that are dying.
#i just keep seeing more and more posts like that and it’s just. yes it is those things you’re right#but i hate that that’s how we have to get people to care#you shouldn’t have to use sjw buzzwords to get people to care#you should care because there are people dying by the thousands at israel’s hand#free palestine#greatest hits

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.
And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.
#i saw the tv glow#I saw the tv glow spoilers#it is SUCH a queer story#the disassociation. the hiding in fiction to feel alive.#the horror of watching time tick by and knowing you’re not who you’re meant to be#the unique paralysis of staying put in hell because it’s safer than what might be over the horizon#the tragedy of trying to help someone who isn’t ready to be helped#god it’s so much. god. rarely do I walk out of a film and just stare soundlessly into space#anyway. please see this movie. although I sort of hope if you’re reading this post it’s cuz you already have#eta: I used he because the main character never quite vocalizes another pronoun#but this is SUCH a trans story. suuuuch a trans story. it is not even a little subtle#it’s so good and so so painful

people when trauma victims act traumatized especially in a way that is unpalatable to them because it involves lashing out and unpredictable moods and having boundary issues rather than just being demure, sad, and consumable
#the surprise at unpredictability is always so fucking baffling to me. this is someone who’s been under extreme stress/duress#for ages. Do you think you can just bounce back. regulate everything immediately. when you’ve been in Survival Mode your whole#fucking life. LOL#you don’t just fucking Know how to be a human being. magically. because you’re out of the situation now. like.
