#dark screaming

I take some exception to this comment, and others like it that I see on other fic writers' stories. "No disrespect" or not.

Like okay, I get it. I've talked about some of my works being my "one big project", only to abandon them once I lose the passion for them. Every single creator goes through that. I can only think of two of my fics that have received this treatment. I chalk it up to both mental health issues, as well as the fact that I'm, ya know, studying for a doctorate degree? But mostly mental health. Between feeling like my content is worthless, feeling like I'm worthless, getting beaten down by a biology degree, having my dad abandon my family... there have been many days over the past five years when I didn't want to wake up the next day, let alone create content. That's how I lost motivation on my previous WIPs.

Secondly, I don't even view my work this way. If Kill Your Fears was to be my "magnum opus", it would be the last work I ever made. It won't be. Why would I continue writing if I didn't envision creating something bigger and better than my last story? I don't always make steps forward with each thing I write, but I'd like to believe I try to. I say that KYF is my "best work yet" because I truly believe that.

If you have a critique of the work itself, that's totally fine. But don't come at me with snarky remarks on how I promote myself when I'm giving you content for free. In fact, don't come at any writer with this bullshit, because you don't know what people go through in real life. You don't get to dictate content you don't pay for.
