I just saw an anon come into a gif-makerâs ask box and start with the phrase: âIâm trying not to spam your inbox with reblogs, butâ and then go on to say how much they love the gifs.
But Iâm still stuck on that opening phrase becauseâŚwhat? I am so confused by how people view interactions on tumblr & AO3 these days. Let me make it very clear for anyone who is unsure:
CREATORS WANT YOU TO INTERACT WITH THEIR WORK.
The limit does not exist on how many of their works you can interact with in a certain period.
If you like every fic theyâve ever written? Then feel free to give them all kudos and even leave a comment on every single one if you feel inclined! If youâre going through someoneâs blog and you vibe with every post, like/reblog to your heartâs content!
As long as youâre not expecting something back from them or adding a ton of irrelevant comments, itâs not spam! Itâs what this is all about!! Iâm not even much of a creator and I still feel a huge sense of pride when I see a ton of notifications in a row from a person, as it clearly shows they thought my blog was worth spending time on.
And if for some reason a creator is annoyed by this (unlikely), they can manage their own experience (turn off notifs, not look at their notes, delete the fic, etc) -- so donât deprive the majority of creators because of some imagined annoyed person. Fandom is a collaborative effort and we all must participate!
