I've discontinued a lot of free, online series because it's not worth putting 3-5 hours a week into posting a project for no readers. Sometimes I finish the series for me but just never post it again, other times I don't finish it at all because it feels more worthwhile to put my time into other things. Sometimes I hear from readers who are sad or upset that I didn't finish something they were liking, but the *reason* it never got finished is because I didn't know anyone liked it. If you like something, tell the creator, tell your friends, make some noise about it. If you would be sad if a story never finished, make that interest known because one of my biggest considerations before discontinuing a series is "will people miss this? Will I be letting people down" and 9/10 times, I come to the conclusion of "no, it doesn't even seem like anyone's reading this" only to learn after I've moved on that apparently someone was.

If you want more content from an artist or author, if you like their stuff, tell them. It will give them creative fuel to keep going. And often it gives them other resources as well. Recommend a work to other people. Leave a comment or a review. It doesn't have to be long, just genuine, a sentence or two. Not many people know that a book's success is judged by book reviews as well as sales. Review the book on Amazon or another site to help it pass the metric of success and be recognized by publishers and retailers.

thank you downtown_drink1594. i thought it was funny

Please spread this info to other people. I explicitly encourage you to make your own posts about it.

Let's laugh until we're out of breath

this is funny plurality!

This is not to say that you should force yourself not to think about something — that actually makes the craving to act on it worse. It’s more just allowing yourself to think about it, identifying the physical manifestation of it, letting it palpitate through you, but also recognizing, in the moment, that this is ephemeral and the urgency of it all will pass. My principle lately has been to surrender fully to the belief that a feeling is not forever and will subside no matter how painful.

okay here she is. say hi lollylog

WRONG! Your pride month is over! Me and all the other disabled queers are having pride month two: disability edition

If you're autistic or have ADHD? this is your pride month. If you have a mental illness, it's your pride month. If you're hard of hearing, this is your pride month. If you have an autoimmune disorder, this is your pride month. If you are not diagnosed with anything but you know something is up with you: THIS IS STILL YOUR PRIDE MONTH.

Stating your age doesn’t protect you this only makes you a target.
