Costume Appreciation: Christine Daaé In The Phantom Of The Opera (2004)

I’ve been writing on tumblr for maybe close to a month or just a bit over? I’m not sure how long, but can I just say that I haven’t had much trouble on here. I’ve had great feedback and responses to my work and I really appreciate it. So what I’m about to say isn’t about me at all, just about fic writers in general, as clearly some people need to read this.

The thing about fic writers is, we do this completely willingly. We don’t get paid to sit for maybe hours at a time composing a fic that might only get 100 notes, most of which being likes which doesn’t give it much reach. We don’t stress over if a piece is good or not before posting to get a good grade that might help us in the future. At first, we do it for ourselves, then later on we start doing it for other people once we get reach and attention. It is fun, fic writing is so fun because you get to create ideas of your own with characters you and many other people may love.

But fic writing doesn’t become fun when it’s forced. Writers shouldn’t have to decide on whether to complete an important assignment or complete a fic to satisfy many angry followers mad that there hasn’t been a fic update recently. Writers shouldn’t have to deal with angry complaints about being denied a fic requests because they aren’t comfortable with writing a certain idea or because they just don’t want to. Writers shouldn’t be criticised on their writing when so much effort went into it, and they did it for themselves. Writers shouldn’t feel obliged to write a request because they’ll get backlash if they don’t. We write for free, and we write for us, so why do so many people believe it is acceptable to demand new fics from writers or be rude to them?

Writers are people. Just like you. We have our own lives outside of writing, we have our own feelings outside of it too. And you never know what somebody is going through. So your snide comment about how a writer didn’t take your request might be the straw that broke the camel’s back.

That’s why feedback on posts means so much to us. We spend so much of our free time writing these complex fics on our own accord, so the least someone could do is give it some feedback. Tell the writer what you enjoyed about it, reblog it so other people reach the fic instead of just liking it and not doing anything to help the writer from that point onwards.

What I’m trying to say is, if you haven’t grasped the idea yet, please be nice to fic writers. Instead of demanding a new fic, ask a writer if they’re okay. Instead of being rude, try being nice, and if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all. We are still people, just like you.

If you’ve gotten this far, thank you and I hope you have a good day. 💜

I can't be the only one who gets really soft over like mini intimacies like rubbing someone's cheek softly with the back of your hand, tucking hair behind ears, forehead kisses, and hand kisses...can I?
