I’ve Seen It. I Enjoy It.

if you guys really like a fic you should, like, actually engage with it & leave kudos & comments btw. recently on reddit someone talked about their experience in fandom after they deleted all their fics bc they felt ostracized & lonely (no one talked to them, no one commented on the fics). right after doing that, the person started getting messages on their social media profiles from different users telling them the fics meant so much, they raved about them in discord servers, etc etc.

People sharing things in fucking discord servers and talking about them exclusively on those servers instead of talking to the person who made the thing they're all enjoying so much has been absolute poison to fandom and to creating things on the internet in general. If someone posts something in a server you're in and you like it, I know it's more effort than just staying where you are and chatting about it there but please, please click through and share at least some of what's being said with the person who made it! And maybe reblog/reskeet/boost it on the platform where they posted it while you're there! It'll mean the world to them, I promise.
