Happy Birthday @hiimtryingtounderfell A little Athela with beautiful flowers for your birthday （⌒▽⌒ゞ Hope your day will be great ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/ (after school XD) have a good and wonderful day °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
My baby Athela ♥ Thank you for the birthday gift ♥ You’re a great friend!!!
Hey uh sorry if this is bothersome or anything, just wondering if this story is still going, or if it's on hiatus or something? i'm not trying to rush i swear--
Haha sorry for making you worry. I am kind in a forced hiatus at the moment, because I have many college projects going on, and my Underfell comic takes most of my free time. I can’t sit down and give love to Athela as much as I’d like.
That being said, the upcoming chapter is halfway-written already. So there’s been SOME progress, I’m just VERY slow! Sorry c’:
I forgot to post this!! Have a happy Athela :D
I want to reeeeeead, but I dont have tiiiiiime ;u;
No worries hon, the fic won’t go anywhere ;) It’ll stay here, waiting for you :3
That was a lot of resets. No wonder Sans took notice...
I mean, skeletons don’t usually have flowers in their eyes. Anyone that knows how skeletons work would notice.
Hey Kaito... I haven't really seen any activity on this blog for a while, are you doing alright? Are you done with your fic, or are you just too stressed to continue at the moment? I'm not pressuring you to continue if you don't want to, but your fic is amazing and I was wondering what happened to it.
Oh boy, I know. The fact is, I have next chapter almost done, but with my comic, college and multiple projects, I can’t find the time to write!
I hope I can update soon enough c’:
Hey! I just wanted to tell you that I really really like your fic (it took me less than a day to finish it (and I'm a slow reader!)! Thank you to share it to us, it's very nice!
A kind, sudden anonymous message showed up! I am grateful!!
I am sorry that I haven’t been able to post lately, but the story is on a stand point and I really need to think what to write and how to write it!
But anyway, the fact that a french reader is so enthused with what I do fills me with joy! Thanks for this nice ask ♥ Thanks for your patience!
It is not surprising news that fanfiction writers are highly underappreciated.
There’s something wrong with the numbers: let’s take a popular fic with almost 4k hits. For let’s say 700 readers, it will get about 50 comments and 300 Kudos (those numbers are just an example, sometimes it’s worse than that). Maybe I’m being too kind, maybe not, but things stay the same; there’s something wrong here. Can you see it?
It takes us days, weeks, sometimes months to write a story for you. We write for ourselves yes, but we also write to share. We write to offer you content about your favourite characters. We write to bring our and your ships to life. It takes you a fraction of second to leave a Kudos, ten seconds to one, two or a few minutes to leave a comment.
And here lies our problem: there’s no proper sharing if there’s no proper feedback. An author not getting comments is generally a sad author. If I didn’t get feedback I’d wonder what’s the point in keeping on writing. A comment makes a writer’s day, most of the time even motivates them to write more.
Another important thing thrandythefabulous and I noticed: why on Earth do so many readers don’t comment (even kudos) if the fic has been up for a little more than a week or two? Why? Your feedback is still welcomed and much appreciated.
We write for ourselves, but also we write for you. And sadly, many readers are being quite… ungrateful, when giving feedback is the least they can do to thank the people offering them stories for free.
So, before we get started on our little day, let’s talk about comments:
It doesn’t matter if other readers already said what you wanted to say, we’ll still love reading it again in your words.
It doesn’t matter the fic has been up for weeks or months or years; comments on those ones are unexpected and so, it makes them ever better.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have much to say, we’ll be glad anyway.
Most authors leave the comment section open to people who don’t have an Archive of Our Own (AO3) account, which means you can still… comment! How amazing is that.
The point of this day is simple; on August 21st, writers and readers alike would go on AO3 (or any fanfiction website really), on Tumblr, and leave a comment on their favourite fics (even the fics they enjoyed!) and/or send their authors a message about their works.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve already or never commented. It doesn’t matter if the author doesn’t know about this post. It doesn’t matter if the author already knows how much you love their work.
Just let writers know you love the fics they write for you, simple as that!
And well, don’t forget to keep leaving a Kudos and a comment in the future, and make writers happy!
Lets do this! I have a few people in mind~
i know i’ll be doing this. will you? :)
I’m down? Y'all with us on this?
I’m ready, let’s go
Annual day of revisiting old faves and realising I forgot to kudo and/or comment on something I’ve re-read umpteen times or am reading for the first time evar wooooooooot
august 21st is my birthday, I would be so happy to get comments on my fics on my birthday!!
I have one fic in mind~~
Day 18 - Drunk
Today’s drawing is just a sketch because I have to draw pages for Underfell :P
Anyway, this could perfectly be Bloomtale canon! Athela drunk with flowers, she cant really locate where the voices come from... xD
Day 17 - Draw your OC with their eyes closed!
If Athela went to school, she would rest her vision a lot. Not sleeping tho, she’s not sleeping <u<;;
Quick drawing od Day 16! The theme today was “supernatural”, but Athela is already a skeleton, so I didn’t know how to draw her as a ghost or a zombie... so! I just made her wear witch clothes~
She’s cute!
I just say this but i love so much bloomtale
Oh my gosh ♥ I love you too ♥ thankss for your nice words ♥♥
Before I forget! Here it is, the day 15! Draw your OC hurt or beaten. This is a scene from the fic!
I am still getting used to my new Sai, the settings are so weird Dx
Sorry I didn’t post the Daily Challenge recently! New computer, had to reinstall stuff c’:
Tomorrow I’ll start again, but for now have this sketch of Athela with glasses.
She’s watching senpai...
Day 10 - Both OC’s
For todays topic I drew @askbloomtale ‘s Athela and my dear Felys <3
Athela is a princess in danger and Felys will no doubt go and rescue her (and burn certain Flower in the process coff coff) >:D
LMAO BEST THING EVER
Even tho this is a forbidden love, I will laugh and accept it just for today xD
Day 10 - Draw both OCs
That is, I had to draw Athela with Felys, who I already drew yesterday. Together, they’re unstoppable!!! [Or are they...? x’D Maybe it’s Felys the one who’s really unstoppable...]
Felys is @dealdraws‘s character!
