#firewolf talks

First of all I'm sorry for my absence, life got in the way. I will catch up with the fics I was tagged in, eventually.

Secondly, I've seen Avengers Endgame so if there's anyone who wants to talk about that send me a message :)

I won't be posting any spoilers!

My personal stuff is finally settling down a bit and with that I am trying to catch up on all the amazing fics I was tagged in (and others too of course). Catching up might take a while though.

I'd also love to get back to writing, but I'll have to see how that goes because with a bit of luck I'm starting an internship soon (I have an interview next week, so fingers crossed). Let's hope I'll actually have the time and energy for writing.

Hello!

Some of you may have noticed (or not haha) I've been inactive for the past 2 months or so. Here's an explanation as to why.

I made this blog mainly to share the stories I read, to have a library of sorts, to spread love for the writers etc, post my own stuff when I feel like it. All that kind of stuff.

During the time I had the blog a lot of posts about people needing to reblog fics and comment on them were going around. A LOT. Completely understandable. Heck it's a big part of why I made this blog. Support writers.

Unfortunately there were some people being so completely utterly rude and mean about it. And what they said got to me. It got to me bad. To the point that anything to do with fanfic was more likely to result in an anxiety attack then have the relaxing effect it should've had.

I continued reblogging and commenting for a long time after that but it was rooted in fear and guilt more then anything else. Reading stories became about commenting instead of reading. I read stories 2 or 3 times so I could give a "proper" comment. It became a chore.

I am aware I did this to myself (thanks brain -.-') and that's why I had to step away for a while. I fully intend on becoming active again, but I do want to take it slow. I want to enjoy the reading, be swept away in the stories and not stop every few sentences to write a comment. I NEVER want it to become a chore again.

This doesn't mean I didn't like what I have read!

As for the Tumblr purge, I survived and am going to continue doing what I was doing over here.
