Heyyy, you probably will never read this, but I just felt the need to write you this. I'm so happy you are choosing yourself and doing what is best for you. As someone who suffers from pure OCD, I get it. I also feel sad that you lost the little sparkle you clearly had at the beginning of you write these stories. For many people, these fanfictions are more than just stories. They bring joy and people look forward to the stories because many of you are actually talented writers. I hope you continue to write and find the joy to finish what you started. It's important to remember that the trolls are doing all of this to play with people's mind. They don't even care or believe in what they are saying. They want people to be miserable and are attacking Pazzi fans specifically. This is why they come out strong in moments like these when they know the fans are happy and excited. I just wish we could not let them win because once they get in your head, they have succeeded. I get that it's hard to "just" ignore but also, if it helps to view it that way, I refuse to let bad people take away something that is so beautiful. It's hard to find good queer representation now a days and I refuse to let trolls take away something that means a lot to young queer community. Representation is so important and I feel like we need to protect the wholesomeness these girls bring and that is by not letting people dictate how we show up and support them. But, anyways, just wanted to give a bit of perspective. I was the anon who wrote you a big rant about how much your stories meant to me as an androgynous person and I think fanfic kinda helps people like me to find characters we can kinda relate to. So thanks for sharing your stories, whether you decide to continue or not is fair and totally up to you, but just know, some of us would definitely support you if you did come back to the community eventually.
You're amazing, Anon. I said I wasn't gonna interact much on here, but I tend to lurk compulsively lol.
Just talked to my mom about how I got positive response because I told her I was quitting. She is encouraging me not to because she sees how passionate it makes me.
I started writing to get better. I honestly think I am not a good writer, but I wanna try to improve. I really do want to be a published author one day so I thought fanfic was a good place to start, you know?
Just, you've inspired me a lot, and what you said about losing that spark—well, it's true. I did.
But you've inspired me to continue. Last night a posted a chapter for WMITY.
I want you to know that this really helped me. I'm going through TMS and med changes right now, and I don't want to fall into this pit of depression where I stop enjoying things.
If you would ever want to message me, I'd love to talk on Discord or something.
If not, that's cool. Just know this helped. Maybe I'll come back sooner than I thought. Just won't go anywhere but my own page.
