Fic writers often talk about how nice it is when someone goes through your whole AO3 catalog and gives kudos to everything or likes/reblogs all of your stuff on Tumblr. And don’t get me wrong – that’s a wonderful experience and we are blessed when it happens. I just wanted to give a shout out to the “one off” like/rebloggers. Those new-to-me blogs who pop up in my notifications because of some random thing I wrote. It’s like a little wave from a friendly stranger that makes your day. So –  *waves back* Thank you!

quick protip: if someone is crying or freaking out over something minor, eg wifi not connecting, can’t find their hat, people talking too loud, do NOT tell them how small or petty the problem is to make it better. they know. they would probably love to calm down. you are doing the furthest possible thing from helping. people don’t have to earn expressions of feelings.

I’m just gonna put it out there that if someone’s freaking about something small, they’re really freaking out about something big that they’re trying to deal with, or something long term that’s been building up, and that little thing is the straw that broke the camel’s back.

I don’t know, try and give people the benefit of the doubt. Don’t be the next straw on their broken back.

Needed this today.

People don’t actually go from 0 to 60. If you think they did, you have failed to notice how long they’ve been at 59.

I don’t think there’s any greater feeling in life for a fanfic writer than someone asking permission to translate your fic into another language.

Like you actually like my word vomit enough to spend your own time translating it in order to share it with more people???

That’s like the best compliment you could give a writer.
