Peekaboo

I'm... pretty fed up with the situation on tumblr right now, not gonna lie. Yes this is about fics, and yes I do have the right to complain about it.

Because yes, I write for myself. That's absolutely true.

But I write everything what's happening in my head down for you, and writing takes a LOT of work. I would not be staying up late at night, typing sentences away on my phone or on my laptop if it wasn't for readers.

I would not be trying to make pretty sentences and come up with metaphors and check over grammar again and again and again if not for you.

I would not be editing my fics so much I almost cannot stand to look at them anymore to the point I question the quality of my writing if not for you.

Don't tell me stuff like "yes but we are reading it! There is no reason we should be forced to leave feedback" because that's not what I'm asking of you. That's absolutely NOT what I'm asking of you. I don't want to force you to do anything and in the end I cannot at all because I'm just a simple blog in my corner of the internet but it all boils down to this:

Give your writers exposure.

We work harder than you readers would ever know to get those stories you love out and it's so freaking hard to get it on paper. It takes so much energy and yes it also takes energy to comment, I understand.

But I assure you, taking the time to write a 20 word long comment is WAY less energy than the writer did to get 9000 words out with cohesive plot and creative writing.

They locked us out of our apartment. We have 24 hours to pay $3,824 or we're completely homeless. We also have 24 hours to get our stuff, and then they'll only let us in for 10 minutes. It'll take us that long just to catch the cats.

We have no where else to go.

So, I’d like to link you all to a few pieces of writing I’ve done on the topic. An 11-part post series about Vladka Meed, a Jewish woman who smuggled explosives into the Warsaw Ghetto in preparation of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. A profile of Hannah Szenes, a Hungarian Jewish paratrooper who worked behind Nazi lines in services of the SOE (Special Operations Executive, same as Peggy Carter and Noor Khan).

A thinkpiece about how we misuse the memory of Anne Frank.
