I saw Ana ( percywinchester27) got an ask about her writing not being shared and it got me thinking. Iām going to go on a bit of a rant here and chances are some feelings are going to be hurt. I know Iām not the best reader in the world and I take long breaks from reading etc, but I really hate those posts that say to support the small blogs instead of the big ones.Ā
Big writing blogs are without a doubt successful in their writing. without a doubt they have worked hard to get where they are. I get the blogs with smaller follower counts want their work to be seen more by a bigger audience and there is nothing wrong with that.Ā
But since when did we stop supporting the big writing blogs? Since when did we decide that we were no longer going to read from them and only support the smaller blogs? Like I said, yes, support smaller writing blogs, but since when does that mean we stop supporting others based on their high follower count?
Since when did it become okay to leave out ones who worked so hard to get where they are? And you know what? Those are the ones who are struggling the most now. These popular blogs that you decided to stop supporting to only support smaller blogs are leaving and there is no way for anyone to be seen. The biggest blogs I know on here are some of the most talented writers Iāve come across, and all three of them have stopped posting regularly. All three of them have stopped interacting as much as they used to. All three of them are wondering what is even the point.Ā
Yes, support new writers.
Yes, support blogs with smaller follower counts
Yes, support blogs who have a high follower count.Ā
Isnāt everyone here for a common reason? Isnāt everyone here to read and write fanfiction? Arenāt we here for that? Arenāt we here to read about being in bed with Dean Winchester?Ā
I will support any blog because there is a PERSON behind the screen creating content for me to read. I donāt care about their follower count, I care about their story and so should everyone else.Ā Iām just tired of watching my favorite writers leave because of lack of interaction. I swear next luci-in-trenchcoats and supernatural-jackles will be gone and theyāll take their masterlists down with them.
