Let’s Talk About Writers’s Labor and Entitled Readers
Last year, I wrote a post on what I'd like to call 'Writer's Envy', or when writers with smaller blogs hate on ones with super popular blogs they (might) believe with little to no effort.
Here’s the link
I wanna talk about the mental/emotional labor that goes into writing these fics and how entitled readers are wearing writers' last nerves.
People write and share fics/series for a variety of reasons. I do cuz I have a shitton of creativity that I don't use in my everyday life and it's fun to do historical, political, and fairy tale/folklore 'what ifs'. I wanted to give back to the community that's kept me sane during the early days of the pandemic.
It takes A LOT of time to prep, write, (usually) proofread, and publish these fics. I have lost count of how many writers/creators talk about the time (sometimes months if not years) of research, worldbuilding, outlining, spellchecking, curating images, moodboard/divider creating, and finding the best time to publish their work.
It takes a lot out of person to do this as often as many of your favorite authors do.
So it does hurt when readers complain about how their favorite fics/series doesn't have the next part published despite the fact that many of us do this for FREE as in YOU ARE NOT PAYING US TO WRITE.
It is aggravating when my fellow writers are bombarded with 'asks' on stuff like:
Why hasn't their masterlist been updated with a fic they just wrote
Why won't they write a fic on a topic they explicitly stated they won't write?
Why won't they write more of this pairing?
Why won't they share/read more of these type of fics?
There are a ton more I could list and if you've been the target of this type of behavior, I am sorry.
People, you are not entitled to our time and labor. If you are spending this much time going to another blog and destroying someone else's peace, you can write your own fics.
If you keep shitting/hate DMing writers with this nonsense, they'll leave and you better pray they're not petty enough to drop names.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO explain our schedule.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO respond to the messages demanding us to post the next installment 'right now'.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO write the fics that YOU want to read
These fics are for OUR ENJOYMENT, NOT YOURS!!!!

The Daughter Of Lust(Hazbin Hotel & Helluva boss )
Chapter 1:
"Selena are you awake?" Asmodeus opens the door to see his daughter still asleep so he walks in as Selena sat up then she noticed that he was smiling about something which did get her wondering what was going on. "Dad, is everything?" Selena asked him as she just wants to know if everything is okay.
"Well....um...The king of hell is here. " Dad was worrying and nervous because Lucifer is the ruler of hell and Selena tries to understand why Lucifer is here and why her dad is nervous about this.
"Oh, okay." Selena got out of bed and went to her closet while she was picking an outfit to wear. She wasn't nervous that Lucifer is here as she glanced over to her dad. "Dad can you give me a moment to get dressed."
"Oh" Asmodeus walks out then glance over to her. "Please don't take too long?" He was nervous to be alone with Lucifer but he couldn't understand how she is very calm about this."
Selena chuckles then smiled. "Is someone scared to be alone with Lucifer?" She raised her eyebrow at him.
"I..um...No." Asmodeus didn't know how to get the words out which he was a little bit scared of Lucifer because he had sex with the king of hell wife.
"Dad, there is a reason why he is here." Selena looked at him as she knew how Lucifer is as she watched her dad walk out and shut the door.
As Asmodeus was sitting across from Lucifer but he was in shock at how short he is but he wish that Selena would hurry up because he can feel more nervous. Lucifer was here to ask Selena to help Charlie out and protect her but he can see that Asmodeus was nervous.
Lucifer cleared his throat. "So how are things in the lust ring?"
"It's going good." Asmodeus was happy to hear Selena's footsteps coming down the hallway. He glanced over to see Selena in her suite and he remembers the day that she got that.
"My king. What brings you here?" Selena sat down and looked at Lucifer as she waited for him to speak.
Lucifer glance over towards Selena. "I need you to go to the hotel where Charlie is running the hotel and protect her." He knew that she would help Charlie and he knew that she wanted to meet Charlie so he was going to let them meet.
"Wait, you want to help and be her bodyguard?" Selena didn't have no mind to that but she didn't like the idea that she has to be Charlie bodyguard. "Yeah, I would help her with the hotel but being her bodyguard. That I don't know."
Asmodeus was in shock at what his daughter said to Lucifer. "Selena, you might want to think this through."
"I understand where you are coming from. Just please, Selena." Lucifer showed the real him and Selena couldn't say no to him because she thinks that it was cute.
"Fine. I'll be telling Charlie that I am her half sister." Selena put her hand out to Lucifer as she was being very serious about it.
"Deal." Lucifer and Selena shook on it which means Selena is going to be heading to the hotel.
XXXXXX
"What kind of help is your dad sending us?" Vaggie asked Charlie as she just hoped that it wasn't someone that wanted to kill everyone because she was worried about everyone else safely.
Charlie shrugs. "I don't know. He didn't say." She heard a knock at the door as she walks over and opened the door.
"Hi, I'm Selena. Your dad sent me over to help you." Selena smiled at Charlie till Vaggie pointed her spear at Selena because she didn't trust Selena at all. "I'm the daughter of Asmodeus."
"The daughter of Lust." Charlie was surprised that her dad would send Asmodeus's daughter here but she was happy to have her help. "Well it's nice to have you here." She let her come in and gently pushed Vaggie's spear down which this made Vaggie glance at her.
Selena walks in and she looks around till she bumps into Alastor as she looks at him then rolls her eyes. "I didn't know that you were here."
"It's a pleasure to meet you again, Selena." Alastor knows who Selena is and he knew that she was Charlie's half sister. He also knows that Selena is a good person to have on their side. "How is your father?"
"Same to you." Selena had this facial expression that was hard to read."He is doing good. So where have you been for the last seven years?" She raised her eyebrow at him because she had a couple ideas where he was.
Alastor became nervous but he clear this throat. "You know, I've always been around." He smiled at her while he was hoping that she wouldn't ask anymore questions.
"Selena, let me show where your room is." Charlie smiles and she takes Selena to her room and Selena follows her while everyone wasn't sure on how to feel about Selena cause she is the daughter of Lust, but Angel dust wanted to be friends with Selena. When Charlie showed Selena her room, Selena was okay with the room that she has.
"If there is anything that you need. Just let me know." Charlie glanced over to Selena as she was happy to have her here and having her help.
Selena knew that she had to tell Charlie the truth as she glanced over to her. "Charlie there is something that you need to know." She was worried about how Charlie would react when she tell her the truth. "I am your half sister." She looked at her and took another deep breath. "Your parents had a ploy relationship with Asmodeus. So um...We have the same mom but different dads."
Charlie was in shock by this because she had no idea that her parents did that but didn't know that she had a half sister. "We are sister?" She smiled more as she was happy about this. "We are sister!" She hugged Selena because she was happy about this.
Selena chuckled but she hugged Charlie back but she was glad that Charlie was happy about this. "Yes, we are." She smiled at her till there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?"
"It's Angel Dust. May I come in?" Angel Dust wanted to take Selena out and have a good time with her and Cherry Bomb.
Selena smiled and she walks away from Charlie then head to the door. She opens the door as she sees Angel Dust standing here. "Of course, you can." She stepped to the side and let Angel Dust come in while Charlie walked out. Selena snaps her finger as her bags appear on the bed and Angel Dust was trying to come up with something to say because he has no clue on how to talk to Selena.
"Selena, I was wondering if you want to hang out with Cherry Bomb and I tonight?" Angel Dust glanced at her as he wasn't sure if she had plans tonight. He does want to get to know as a friend and he wants to see what kind of person she is.
Selena was unpacking her things while putting them away. "Sure." She was putting her clothes away then putting her shower and skin care into the bathroom."Where are we going to be hangout?" She glanced over to Angel Dust.
"The V's towers. I hope that is okay?" Angel Dust just hoped that won't be a problem as he waits her answer. He doesn't want to be on Selena's bad side but he does want her to have friends.
Selena starts to get undressed in front of Angel Dust which makes Angel Dust blush and he turns his head away. "Yeah, I have no problem with that." She grab some leather pants, purple crop top as she saw Angel Dust's head was turn so she walks over to him. "It's okay to look. I have no problem looking at you." She gently placed her hand on his cheek and made him look at her.
Angel Dust looked at her as he couldn't help looking at her body because he never saw someone so beautiful and that has lots of curvy but he can see that Selena has a double dd breast cup. "I don't want to make you upset."
"It's okay." Selena was flirting with Angel Dust as she did want to see what Angel Dust would do. She gets closer to Angel Dust while she can see that he was blushing more which she thought was cute. "What's wrong?" She smirks at him.
"Um...." Angel Dust didn't know what to do as he never had this happen to him before. "I'll see you later at nine o'clock." He made the smart mode and it was when he walked out of Selena's room and Selena chuckled and she shut the door.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Charlie couldn't believe that she has a half sister but she was happy to know that Selena is her half sister. She just wishes that her parents told her sooner about Selena. There was a knock on the door which caused her to turn her head to see Vaggie open the door so she put on a smile. "Hey. What are you doing here?"
Vaggie knew something was wrong with her, so she walked over to her and she wants to know if her girlfriend is okay. "I came here to check up on you." She wanted to know what happened when Selena was here. "Did something happen?"
"Well...um..." Charlie wasn't sure if she should tell Vaggie that Selena is her half sister. "Selena just told me that her and I are sisters. Well you can say half sister." She looked at Vaggie.
"Wait you are saying that Selena is your half sister?" Vaggie was very in shock by this but she wanted to know how. "The daughter of Lust is your half sister?"
Charlie nods her head yes. "What she told me is that my parents had a ploy relationship with the prince of Lust." She sat on her bed and let out a sigh. "We have the same mother."
"Wait, you both are daughters of Lilith. Whoa, that's all new now." Vaggie couldn't believe that Selena is Charlie's half sister. She wonders if Selena has seen Lilith but she wasn't sure which she knew that she has to ask Selena about when she has the chance.
Meanwhile Selena was getting ready to meet up with Angel Dust and Cherry Bomb at the V's tower but when she made to the building and see that we are at Valentino club and she heard about him. She wasn't a huge fan of him so she walks in then went to find Angel Dust and Cherry Bomb. "Where are they?" Selena keeps looking around for them till Valentino walks over to her which she see him coming to her way. She wasn't happy about it and she found Angel Dust on the outside of the club so she quickly walked over to him.
“Selena, you came.” Angel Dust smiled at her but he notice that she was feeling uncomfortable. “You okay?”
Selena chuckles nervously. “You can say Val saw me.” She glance at him.
Angel dust came worry because he knew how Valentino is and he that Val doesn’t try anything on her. "May you stay with us because I don't trust Val near you." He wanted to protect her from Valentino.
"Oh shit. He is coming over here." Selena went behind Angel Dust because she didn't want to deal with Valentino. She hide behind Angel Dust and hopes that Valentino doesn't see her.
"Angel, who is your new friend?" Valentino glances over and sees that Selena and he grins as he knows who Selena is. He wanted to see if he could get into her pants.
Angle Dust looked at Valentino. "Fuck you." He had enough of Valentino as he didn't want Selena to be in the same problem as he is.
Valentino got angry by this and he didn't like how Angel Dust is standing up to him. "What did you say?'
"Fuck you. You can do whatever you want to me. You aren't coming anywhere near my friend." Angel Dust was standing his ground with Valentino because he didn't care what Valentino does to him.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Asmodeus was in his office as he was looking through papers when Fizz came in and he glanced over which he was happy to see him. "Fizzo." He puts the papers down and picks up Fizz and they rub their heads against each other.
"I came to see if you want to have lunch or dinner?" Fizz can see that Asmodeus was worried about Selena and he gently touches his hand. "I know that you are worried about Selena. I'm sure that she is okay.
"I know that she handle herself. It's just I don't people to use her like some sex toy." Asmodeus sigh as he did promise Lilith that he would keep Selena safe. All wants is to protect Selena no matter what but he knows that she needs to live her life just the way she wanted.
"I know that you are going to worry about her. Maybe tommorw we should invite her over for lunch or dinner." Fizz looked at him as he knew how much Selena meant to him. He does care about Selena because he sees Selena as a daughter that he never had.
Asmodeus nods his head as he knows that Fizz is right. "Yeah, you are right." He pulled out his phone and he sent a text to Selena then he went to have lunch with Fizz.
Meanwhile at Valentino Club, Selena was watching Angel Dust standing up to Valentino which Valentino grab and pull Angel Dust towards him.
"Did you forget? I own you." Valentino glares Angel Dust as he didn't like that Angel Dust is acting like this and standing up to him.
"Yeah, In the studio. Like our deal says." Angel Dust pull away from Valentino. He looked at him till he felt Valentino slap him and cause him to fall down.
"I am going to make you pay for that tomorrow in the studio." Valentino glares at him as he stands over Angel Dust which makes Selena get angry. As Cherry Bomb and Angel Dust can see that Selena is about to snap on Valentino.
"What gives you the right to treat him like that?!" Selena's hair is up in flames as she went to help Angel Dust up then got in front of Angel Dust. She glares at Valentino and she was way taller than Valentino like 6'9 ft.
Valentino glanced up to her and he couldn't think that she was talking to him like this. "Who in the fuck are you?"
"I am the daugther of Lust." Selena could see that Valentino is scared of her for some reason. She had this look that shows that she wasn't playing around and she is very serious.
Valentino knew that he just fuck up. "I am sorry, your highness." He bowed to her as he didn't want to make her angry. What he didn't think was that she would free Angel Dust from his deal.
"Give me the deal." Selena look down at him as she wanted Angel Dust deal as she was going get Angel Dust out of his deal with Valentino.
"Wait, what?" Valentino looked at her like she had three heads. He couldn't think that this was happening to him because everyone in the club was watching this including Velet and Vox.
"Give me, Angel Dust deal." Selena tone went very serious as she wasn't going to ask again which Angel Dust and Cherry Bomb didn't know what Selena is doing.
Valentino snap his finger as Angel Dust's deal appears and he gave it to Selena as she take it from and Selena rip the deal in half then burn it in front of everyone. Valentino couldn't believe that Selena did that. Angel Dust was in shock at what Selena did but he was happy that he was no longer under Valentino's thumb anymore. As there was silent in the room and Selena calm down as she glanced at Angel Dust
"Angel Dust, you are no longer working for Valentino anymore." Selena felt Angel Dust hug her and she smiled, so she hug him back which she was happy to see him happy.
Angel Dust whispers to Selena. "Thank you."
"Your welcome, Angel." Selena gently wiped his tears away. as she was happy to get Angel out and away from Valentino.
