*sweeps all of my AU ideas under the rug* why must I be called out this way?

Me, seeing this: 👁👄👁

You know what is the worst? Being a reader trying to catch up on fics WHILE bring a writer who is behind on writing their own fics.

We know the struggle

People complain constantly about content creators on other platforms only making content for money yet on Tumblr we post everything for free knowing we will never make money off of anything, and people still can’t do the one thing that helps us out, which is reblogging.

Something I’ve found being the commenter in this situation… They worry when you stop too. I’ve more than once been confronted with the fact I am Known and Acknowledged when an author’s been like ‘Oh thank goodness, you didn’t comment last chapter I thought you were sick of it’. I’ve also had authors hyped to hear from me if I’ve returned to a fandom after disappearing for a while. I’ve had one ask if I was ok because I disappeared for a while.  They know you and they love you. 

Can confirm my wife has a favorite commenter, when they leave a new comment on something she’s written I get ‘BABE BABE BABE COME HEAR I GOT A COMMMENT FROM X’ and I hustle to hear her read it out loud to me, her eyes shining the whole time, her whole body vibrating with joy, blushing her head off and smiling from ear to ear.  She reads them and rereads them and I can always tell by the look on her face.  Every comment from a favorite commenter is a love letter and listen friends you are loved in return.  

She speculates about what Favorite Commenter will think of things in the new chapter, if they’ll guess new twists coming up in the plot, if they’ll like how she works in a new character or a rarepair in the b plot of the story.  She talks about her hopes that Favorite Commenter will enjoy a new story she’s working on.  She says things like ‘Favorite Commenter was said something about Y and it’s not actually where I’m going, but it’s given me a new idea…’  Every comment from a favorite commenter is an inspiration, and they are writing for you.

And honestly, from my experience, having a favorite commenter can keep you writing even when you don’t have the emotional wherewithal to write for yourself.  A lot of people advise authors to write for themselves and to heck with anyone else, but there are times you can’t.  For years, I didn’t write for myself–I wrote for my favorite commenter.  It meant that was the only person who saw a lot of my writing.  But it also meant that I didn’t stop.  

Don’t ever hesitate to tell someone how much you love their writing or why.

This goes to @buckybarnesplumwhore cause they inspired me to continue writing on one of my wips for Hades!Bucky!

Comments give us inspiration to write because we see that people care about our work and love it! And we wanna give this love and appreciation back to our readers! ❤❤❤

I wanna write for Bucky again...but I don't have any ideas and I don't have any inspiration for my unfinished one-shots and fics...😭

If you have any ideas for one shot or drabble, let me know in the comments or slide into my ask ✌🏻

I have all this time now to write, so I shouldn’t have an excuse for not getting any done. Yet, here we are. 

...why are you calling me out like that?...

We die out if you don't feed us reblogs and comments, sorry.

I generated this meme because it is exactly my life right now

you either write 4k in one sitting or 4 words in a month

Oh my god, so true!
