I don’t know who needs to hear this but be nice to fanfic authors. Reblog their stuff. Tell them you liked it. How you felt when reading. What school assignment you didn’t finish because of how captivating their story was. Don’t just scream to your friends about it. But tell them.

So many wonderfully talented people out there don’t get the praise they need. If their work brought you joy, make their day better by telling them it did.

@ fic authors what do you personally consider a successful fic? What’s the bar?

[lemonz-and-limez]

if you would be so kind as to reblog this if you feel insecure about your writing skills.

[lemonz-and-limez]

rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between "damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)" and "damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)"

#writers #... we're all the same huh #i have never had an original thought

[lemonz-and-limez]

you know, i decided to abandon all my fics. ignore them, let them go. I deleted drafts and wips. the ones i wanted to write reminded me of hurts. the ones farther on the queue just seemed pointless.

i've had people tell me that writing grief, and sadness, must imply that the person writing them is spiraling, or mentally unhealthy, or that writing sadness means you're sad. I have been spiraling. I have been hurt, I am grieving. I have not written in months. Because for me, even writing the saddest, most heart wrenching things? They're love letters, to love and grief and humanity and healing. They're what I do when i'm happy, and content, and stable. I am not okay right now and was pretty sure I was going to just. Leave the fandom entirely. I've unsubbed, unfollowed. changed settings. One too many hard punches. Someone came in with a critical and I'm on death saves now. And one person, I dont' know who they are. They left a comment. A quiet touch, from a hand in the dark. They saw. They saw and understood what I had been writing. What the intention was. What it all meant. And they made me pause. I know I'm hurt. I don't recognize in myself the person who wrote the fic that they commented on. But you know? Maybe, for the first time in... months. Maybe i want to. So my point is, the whole tl;dr of this: I've seen posts about readers/commenters worried about coming across poorly. bothering, annoying, etc to authors. This is what we mean, when we say a comment can save a fic. When we say that a comment can pull us back from walking away. I have, in the last month, deleted thousands of words because of a hurt. This singular reader, that I don't know, made me think perhaps. Perhaps it's time to stop deleting. Never be afraid to spread kindness. You never know how badly its needed.

Exerpt from a WIP

Hey... long time no posting lol. I was looking through some old writing on my laptop and came across this little thing I never finished. So, imma post it on here and see if anyone would be interested in reading a finished product. Not gonna lie, a little nervous. But I really want to get back into writing. The excerpt in bellow the “keep reading” tab 🙃

Old, nimble fingers brushed over worn photographs. Despite almost all media being digitized nowadays, Amy always preferred the tangible hard copies of memories. Something that couldn’t become corrupted or destroyed because of some server somewhere malfunctioning. These pictures that she held dear for nearly fifty years now couldn’t be altered.

They presented themselves exactly the way her memory served her. Just like everything else in regards to her husband, the true remaining constant, they were unchanged.

Sure, they were a little worn at the edges, but so was Amy for that matter. The hands she looked down on were the same ones in the photograph, just… older.

Sheldon had done his best to preserve them, but like anything, the test of time took its toll on their wedding album.
