*sigh*
It’s been awhile since I last posted, partially I’m in my final year of grad school and partially because inspiration hasn’t struck. A lot of my writing time has been dedicated to school work, so I haven’t had anything new on here or on Ao3. However, I still occasionally get comments on some of my older fics. Seeing the notification pop up that someone has left a comment brightens my whole day (side note: seriously, if you have the spoons for if, comment on fics!). It is so amazing to see people still interacting with something I wrote—engaging with the elements they enjoyed and the elements they had tensions with. I like the push and pull; it helps me grow as a writer.
That being said, I received a comment today on a fic that’s 2 years old at this point, and it was just a downer to read. It wasn’t necessarily mean or awful, it just only focused on the fact that they disagreed with the premise of the story. Which…fine? They are allowed to dislike the story, but why bother commenting if all you have to say is “I don’t like it”? Just click out.
Idk. I write fanfiction because it’s fun, I get to be silly and unrealistic, but pointless negativity makes it hard to want to write.
This whole post is probably an overreaction; for the handful of negative comments I have received, I have gotten 10x more encouraging comments/feedback. Sometimes it just feels like a black hole.
Thank you to all the people who have been incredibly supportive and kind, who have encouraged me to be a better writer by engaging with my stories, and who just work to create a positive fandom space. I’m going to keep writing and creating, because that is what is in my bones, but I needed to vent. Thnx!

Also just a PSA. Please stop asking me to message you on Quora, to talk about my personal life, or just be overall weird. I’ve had so many of you spamming me about some nonsense and thats why I took a break.
The rest of you, I love you and missed you :)
