STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AUTHORS. I would hate to see so many creative minds, with their work being published leave because people won't do the bare minimum.

Leave comments. Reblog and like their work, let them know they're appreciated, let them know they're loved.

Let them know they are WORTH IT, let them know their work is worth it.

me, while actually writing “the plan”:

Get to know each other's OCs! Let the writer know which OC and what number!

Your stories matter.

You are not inferior to other writers.

You don't have to prove your worth to anyone.

Your passion matters more than your skill.

You are allowed to openly celebrate your achievements.

An example off the top of my head - if I say ‘He gave a whisper of a smile’, it does not mean that the smile is literally whispering; it means that the word ‘whisper’ invokes a sense of smallness, due perhaps to subtlety or shyness, and that is something I want connected to your mental envisioning of this dude’s smile.
