You cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy … because you understand them, and they do not understand you.

idk if this is a young fan thing or new fandom culture but some of yall think fics are abandoned way too quickly. a few months or a year or two is not unusual to go without a fic update. sometimes fics take longer to write, other times writers have rl events, or maybe there's multiple fics and one gets more priority. there are tons of reasons for fics not to be updated every week or every month. it also isn't uncommon for people to come back and update fics after a number of years—ive read updates that took five, or ten years. people's lives change, but they still want to tell their stories. personally, i never consider a fic abandoned unless the author has said so; though if it's been a few years i manage my expectations. but a last update being a year ago is... generally not a sign that a writer has abandoned their fic

That! Exactly that!!! Writers have lives and writing is hard! It takes time. Stop assuming fics are abandoned!

Original fic usually goes through this same process before being commercially published. Readers just don't know that bc they aren't receiving it in bite-size chunks online. Large periods of stagnant writing are historically just another Monday for most writers.

Please state at the top if your entry is original fiction or fanfiction and what fandom. State common warnings and triggers at the top and tag accordingly. I reserve the right to not reblog fics that I find inappropriate. I will reblog things here on @fictober-event, follow this blog to see all the entries.

Go forth and write!

I feel so incompetent and unworthy because I can't seem to do anything right. I just want a hug so bad but no one seems to understand

Sakura looked down at the coffee table with its dark red stain. They hadn’t talked further about what happened at the warehouse. She had avoided even thinking about it, fearing her nightmares would return. In truth she was terrified beyond imagining at the thought of having to see Itachi hurt someone again. To see him look and move like he had, knuckles sticky with someone else’s blood.
She never wanted to see that briefcase again.
“I could just tell Madara you were there,” he tried. “You don’t have to come.”
“Blatantly lying to him sounds like an excellent way to shorten both our lifespans. He’ll find out. The hostage is at your relative’s house, right? To spy on us, I’m sure.”
“Yes.” He rubbed his forehead tiredly. “This is…damaging.”
“Don’t worry about—”
“To both of us,” he interrupted.
She couldn’t argue with that. She limped over to the cushion by the coffee table and sat down. She hadn’t expected him to join her, but he did. However, neither could look directly at the other.

Do I hate a shitty man? Yes. But a shitty man is not a shitty man because he is a man, but because he is shitty
