Reasons people may decline to comment or kudos on fanfiction they enjoyed:

  • They consider comments and kudos transactional compensation to the author, and they don't feel that the work was good enough to deserve compensation, or they don't believe they owe compensation to fan authors in general.
  • They consider comments and kudos as feedback, and they don't feel that the author wants or needs feedback from them.

However, comments and kudos aren't compensation, and they aren't even necessarily feedback either.

Comments and kudos for fan authors are:

  • encouragement to keep writing
  • reciprocation of a bid for connection
  • interaction with your community
  • confirmation that they're not the only one interested in their story

Please don't consider comments, or especially kudos, purely transactional or purely a form of feedback. Comments and kudos are a way to show authors in your community that you're glad they're there.

Authors aren't "entitled" to kudos or comments, but readers aren't "entitled" to fic, either.

Fanfiction is a community, and when an author repeatedly reaches out to their community for connection only to receive silence in return it is very discouraging and can result in the author withdrawing from the community altogether.

The way you talk to yourself is so important.

Me: "I've only written two paragraphs in ten minutes. That sucks."

Then me a second later: "They're good paragraphs though. I like the way I put this situation into words. I think I really captured something here and I'm proud of myself."

And that second moment where I was kinder to myself made all the difference.

Fancreators who never plan to use AI: what is your primary reason?

  • I think AI is plagarism
  • I think AI is bad for the environment
  • I think AI would do a worse job than I could
  • I don't want people to judge me
  • I like writing/drawing too much to let AI do it for me
  • Other
  • Not a fancreator/ I do use AI/ see results

I love it, you guys. Thank you so much. But, remember, the official birthday party is Saturday night, okay? Yeah, and we've got enough catering to ride out the apocalypse, so y'all better come. Don't worry. We're comin'.

#tk doing the awkward 'happy birthday song sway' in the background is so relatable#is that not the universal dance of the birthday person being sung to for 30 seconds before cake-cutting time?#tk strand#126 fire fam#911 lone star#9-1-1: lone star

I'm so so touched by your writing <33 For nice ask week I wanted to ask you what is one headcanon about tarlos you haven't explored yet? What do you think their daily rituals are?

thank you for sending this and i’m so sorry it’s taken me until now to get to it! :3 (nsfw ahead)

  1. i wanted to write a post about carlos dealing with internalized shame around his kinks, but i could never articulate it how i wanted. since i got into reading/writing d/s smut i’ve always felt like people tend to focus on the submissive pov and don’t write as much about the dom’s experiences– so i’d really like to explore that and analyze how carlos experiences sex and his kinks and how his feelings about those things intersect with his feelings about his sexuality, masculinity, etc. all of this of course is really about the spirit of butchness and how carlos embodies it (aka how i project it onto him)
  2. oh i love to imagine how they’ve settled into their quiet lives and how everything is comfortable and familiar and warm 🥹 in my mind they’ve already left the loft and live in a modest family home where jonah can grow up with a yard and a dog (the kitten distribution system will find them shortly). carlos wakes up too early to go to the gym on the weekdays, but on the weekends they wake up holding each other with the sun coming in through the blinds and jonah bouncing on the bed asking for breakfast. tk’s been growing their own vegetables– carlos will NOT let him get a bee colony, but tk thinks he can wear him down. other than that, i really think tk’s at peace, enjoying his little routines and finding his purpose just in loving and being loved. and maybe carlos is a little proud to be the breadwinner, but can you blame him? all he’s ever wanted to do was take care of tk. i’d say he’s succeeding at that.

One of the many things I love about Tarlos is I can totally see as a “my spouse is my best friend” kind of couple.

Nights where they’re just relaxing in bed or on the couch can turn into little gossip sessions, trading childhood stories, and giggling like besties having a sleepover 💕

reyesstrand answered:

stop don’t do this to me tarlos as best friends is one of my favourite things ever ever ever

it’s something i love that the show highlights (with grace and judd too!), that those in romantic relationships genuinely want to spend time with one another and enjoy each other’s company. there’s never any instance of them falling into the trap of those awful tropes, the “oh my partner annoys me” thing you see sometimes in media. none of that here! tk and carlos long to come home to each other and just talk and have nights in. they love their friends but they have their own secret language that only comes with being lovers/husbands/best friends/soulmates. they have inside jokes and share little looks and love to gossip and love hearing the other talk about little details from their day. they’re a package deal, they’re a competitive team on game nights, they love riling each other up, they love making each other laugh, they’d be happy just doing little mindless tasks in silence together because they’re each other’s favourite person!!!

tmrwmag: Ronen Rubinstein is a flurry of vibrant reds, pinks, and oranges. We bonded over our shared love of music, especially Kings of Leon and Mac Miller.

Ronen's favorite music blasted across the set, and as the stereo changed from track to track, you could see how the variations in sound affected Ronen's body. How he walked, the postures he assumed, whether he was drumming on his lap or playing air guitar.

"Music is around me all the time," Ronen said. "I have a ritual when I'm at work in my trailer. There's certain music I need to listen to before I go on set, especially depending on what the scenes are."
