6k in and my head is about to explode. STILL not allowed to say what i want :(
#this fic is going to get negative notes i can already tell lmao
#the scope of appeal is so stupidly narrow
#but That Does Not Matter
#i have to believe that
#its for ME
#its what i want to see and its what makes me happy
#i will never put this in a real post because i would be immediately dragged into the square and burned for hypocrisy
#but i think its worth saying
#this is rasmr specific i dont know about any other fandoms so dont take this as a universal rule
#if you go into your favourite tag variant (e.g. 'redacted [x character name]' or 'redacted [genre]')
#and sort by 'top' rather than 'latest'
#i would like you to scroll down until you find fic
#by which i specifically mean PROSE - not bulletpoints or hcs or matchups or those sorts of things
#(this is not to say that those things aren't good or worthy of respect - they ARE - but that's not what i'm talking about here)
#i would like you to just think about how long it takes you to find a fic in there
#because surprise! it's almost certainly longer than you would hope or indeed expect
#now........ i wonder why that is?
#i don't mean to sound egotistical or selfish or self-aggrandising through all this
#but.... you know. fic writers - during their one life on this earth - put in an AWFUL lot of their real time and energy and love into this
#into writing things for other people who they will never know or meet to enjoy for FREE on the internet
#i don't think you can be surprised that it's a bit disheartening to do all that and then be met with basically silence
#it's like cooking for people yk?
#some fics are more complex/longer/time-intensive than others - in the way that making a five-course meal is more work than making a sandwic
#but if someone made that food for you - whether it was a cookie or an entire christmas dinner - you'd still say thank you...... right?
#you wouldn't just take it from them and leave the room - then eat it in total silence where they can't see - and then not say anything...?
#if you liked it - or even if you didn't! - wouldn't you still say thank you? wouldn't you tell them that it was nice and you enjoyed it?
#that you liked the ingredients they chose or the way they cooked it or the toppings they chose to put on it?
#for the sake of everyone whose ever cooked you a meal i hope you would
#because i'll tell you something for free - you will be scrolling on that tag for an uncomfortably long time. why is that?
#because reblogs/comments/kudos/likes are to fic writers what 'thank you' is to a cook
