This website made it clear that OC writing is just sadism/fantasizing bc the only thing ppl here ever do with OCs is brag about torturing them "out of love" with zero plot resolution like the venn diagram between those "writers" and racists and misogynists is a circle

Ok so this is also an insane take. Having OCs leads inevitably to moral degradation

I’m not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but you literally do not have to be a good writer to write and post fan fiction. Yes you will naturally get better at writing and finding your voice the more you do it but you do not have to be or become a professional level writer to enjoy writing and sharing fics. It’s common to hear people praise fic writers by saying their work is better than published books, and while I think this comes from a good place, that’s not the norm or expectation. There is also a sentiment that fic writing is “good practice” for becoming a better writer or doing something else later, but if fic is the only creative writing you ever do that is literally okay. Your technical skill does not mean you cannot have fun and build community with your writing, or that other people cannot love and find meaning in your work.

I'm gonna be honest, if a Tumblr post mildly shitting on what you perceive as a flaw you have, has the capacity to make you give up on pursuing writing, then you're the type of artist who's going to be unwilling to improve or learn and will forever create bad art, which is still art, but not something I think even the people around you would lament on "missing out". The alternative is also you're the artist who will double down on said flaw just to "spite the critics", which if you also embody the average fandom tumblr-user, will probably result in the most tone deaf racist art imaginable. So also, not a big loss.

Bad art has worth. Even if it is just to the artist, that is enough. I agree with the writing advice here and I agree that you shouldn't get so discouraged by a single tumblr post that you quit forever, but what is this nonsense that it's only worth making things if they're good? Or even more ridiculous, that if you express your discouragement here you're on the fast track to racist trash???

i wish more people read rage and wild geese as a pair instead of just wild geese. it makes wild geese just hit that much harder with the context

*sees whatever the fandom is doing* there's a really good story happening on the actual show if you want to watch that instead

it’s psychological horror to YOU. to me it’s a romcom

i think taylor swift wishes she was bisexual because she knows it would make her slightly more money. whereas sabrina carpenter wishes she was bisexual so she could have sex with someone who looks exactly like herself. and ariana grande wishes she was bisexual because she did too many designer drugs on the set of wicked and now she has kin memories of being glinda for real
