I think I’m gonna restart blogging my own shit.

WRITERS. ARTISTS. EDITORS.

REBLOG YOUR OWN WORK.

THERE IS NO SHAME IN IT.

And still there'd be people who'd not REBLOG this post

Oh, you love me, and I love you! I… I know I flirt with Derek, but that’s like an animal, blood-in-the-nostrils kind of thing. What we have is a pure transcendent, blueberry-filled…

PSA:

If a writer has a pinned post on their blog, please take the time to read it, because it contains pertinent information. That shit is not just there for decoration.

woke up this morning to a comment on a fic saying they hoped I didn’t mind them commenting on such an old fic, and the fic isn’t even a year old, so I’m going to reiterate: I can’t speak for every single fanfic writer in the world, but I don’t know a single one myself who wouldn’t be thrilled to get comments on years-old fanfic! there is no deadline! it honestly made my day

blease there’s no such thing as being late to a fanfic or late to commenting

i did not babygirlify that man. look at him. he’s doing it all himself.

i don’t want to victim blame but maybe if he didn’t want to be called babygirl he shouldn’t have been such a babygirl. just a thought.

'this needs a part 2' my brother in christ u did not even reblog

when they tell you to write a part two, but they don't even reblog

Or when they request something from you but don’t acknowledge it when you post something
