Writers suffer from tinker bell brain they need constant applause or they start believing everything they’ve written is horseshit

I have a lot of feelings about the rise of he would not fucking say that attitudes in fandom spaces and the paralysing effect it can have on creators. As a writer i think it’s important to just write what feels true to you and not what you think others will “approve” of. Like even as a reader i have enjoyed a variety of different characterisations that all work because the writer makes them work for a particular story. And a fic that’s written out of character to some will be in character to others. Writing fic is not your job you’re not being paid it’s your hobby please. Make them as close to canon as possible. Make them completely different. Who cares! Have fun! Have so much fun! There is an audience for every kind of fic and every kind of character interpretation i promise

“I think as a process, maybe around 2014-2015, around that time… it’s funny because I feel like where I was then, is where I am now, but I was there for One Direction. I felt accomplished, I felt really understood in my role within the band, I was really confident in everything I was doing for the band. So when we weren’t a band anymore, I had to work out all of those things on my own. So I think I probably was in a really confident place within the band, and I had to re-find my confidence. But I wouldn’t say it was really until releasing this record and touring this record and watching this album come to life, that I actually genuinely believed that I deserve to do this. And also my fans deserve this more importantly. The level of support that I’ve had now for a long time, the least I could do is come here and play a good show.”
-Louis on how being in a band differs from his solo career. (2 April 2024)

We don’t talk enough about the satisfying feeling you get as an author when you’ve written exactly the fic you wanna read

Fandom is amazing we’re all just writing stories for each other and making gifs and video edits and fanart and for what? For sharing the joy of it, the love of it. So we can look at another human and see ourselves

there’s absolutely nothing better than reading a 100k word fanfic, that is until you remember you have a body that is starving, thirsty and incredibly sleep deprived and hasn’t used the bathroom since the sun set 8 hours ago
