Reader Appreciation

I’ve been seeing a lot of amazing posts lately thanking fanfic writers for that good, good content that we’re all disappearing into right now. And I love these posts, and FUCK YES, the healing power of art during these rough times, it can’t be said enough. But I feel like there’s something missing from these posts, and that’s the readers.

A lovely friend of mine recently shared something with the caveat that they “contribute basically nothing to fandom” and I was fucking floored. Like. This person has made playlists for fic, and shared art, and reached out to me to talk about my stories and other stories and like - that is the Work. They made me feel like my shitty writing was good enough to share, and that made me write more, and connected me with more people, and that sort of contribution doesn’t get acknowledged enough. I don’t write fiction because I have to, or for the likes or hits or whatever; I write it because I have a story I want to tell. On the days when my brain is cooperating, writing is a pleasure. On the days when my brain isn’t cooperating, comments from readers make my words feel meaningful anyway. This isn’t a one-way street, a producer/consumer situation. Or at least, it doesn’t feel like that to me.  And my best writing has been done when people are holding me accountable, or are pushing me to do better and I’m so grateful for that. And so grateful for you.

So. To the readers who comment on every chapter. To the readers who leave thoughtful essays in the comments and the readers who leave 😭❤️😱 or keysmashes. To the readers who are inspired for the first time to make art or write something themselves. To the readers who leave kudos. To the readers too anxious to comment (I’ve been there, sat in a space where I had no idea how to express how a story made me feel) and the fandom ghosts who dip in and read and vanish.

To readers who like or reblog or share or rec or send messages or don’t do any of these things.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for building this community.

Thank you for reading.

He‘s fine, too. 🖤

neil: hey andrew

andrew, internally: there he is, he's here, my favorite person in the world, the love of my life. god i just want to stare at him and hold him and kiss him for the rest of my life—

andrew: what the FUCK do you want

The fact that Neil CANONICALLY had someone explain their loving relationship to him and how their partner supported them and gave them strength when nothing else could and Neil went “huh like me and Andrew” then thought it was a weird comparison to make and decided to tuck it away to examine later?? And then he just forgot to?? He’s 100% the kid who realises he’s bi like, once a month.

Sure, Andrew. 🧡

Was anybody going to tell me Neil and Andrew hold hands and sit in each other’s lap and get two cats and an apartment together and they tell each other “stay” and “welcome home”, that they join the same pro team bc they’re a “package deal”, that they don’t celebrate anniversaries bc why put a unit of time on something immeasurable, something that will last forever, and that they know they’re never going to leave each other, that they never CAN leave each other, and they communicate well which is ironic considering Neil used to lie to Andrew with every second breath and Andrew falls asleep every night facing Neil so when he wakes up from nightmares all he has to do is open his eyes to know everything is going to be ok or did I just have to find that out from the authors tumblr myself??

Gansey: I’m pretty sure that’s illegal, Ronan

Ronan: Pretty sure I’m a criminal, Gansey

neil josten <3

Nicky: I can’t believe Neil ignored us all winter break! He better be dying.

Neil: Hey guys, sorry I ignored you all winter break. I was dying.

Nicky: I take it back I take it back I take it back I take it back.

Wonder why he’s so happy? 🤔

Now who’s staring?

neil josten ignoring death threats from the fucking mafia just so he can keep playing stickball with his deranged friends

“Staring.”

No one:

Not a soul:

My TBR pile watching me add more and more books to it without putting a dent in the list I have: *silent judgement*

Andreil has got me in a tight hold

neil: hold my earrings, babe

andrew: i got your earrings baby go fuck him up

don't believe me?

"Neil undid the straps on his helmet and headed for the trio of reporters. Andrew took Neil's helmet as he passed."

i rest my case

AFTG characters reading thirst tweets (tweets stolen Ben Barnes and Andrew Garfield’s thirst tweet videos though I obviously changed names and some other stuff) (no I didn’t include all of the characters but I might do more with other characters for my own entertainment)

This is for my own amusement and not to be taken seriously

“I would let Jean Moreau spit in my mouth and I would use it as mouth wash”

Jean: not to kink shame but get help

“Jeremy Knox are you free February 14th because I am free February 14th and I would like to hang out with you on February 14th when I am free so please let me know if you’re free to hang out February 14th because I would like to hang out on February 14th when I am free.”

Jeremy: aw that was really wholesome

Alvarez: don’t worry they get worse

Jeremy: shit. Anyway I am not free on February 14th for reasons I will not disclose in a buzzfeed video

“Andrew Minyard making everyone have dirty thoughts every time some sports magazine posts a picture of him. He could beat the shit out of me and I’d say thank you.”

Andrew: *glances at crew, face blank*

Wymack: *loud sigh in the background*

“Can we talk about how gorgeous Kevin Day is for a sec? Like that man is fucking beautiful. I’d let him eat crackers in bed.”

Kevin: … why would I eat in bed?

“I can’t believe Allison Reynolds invented being sexy.”

Allison: well you should

“Matthew Boyd is thicc and woke”

Matt: thank you???

“If Aaron Minyard ever kills me DO NOT PROSECUTE HIM because he caught ME slipping that is on ME”

Aaron: people on the internet need more therapy than I do. And a better understanding of the legal system.

“Yes, the rumors are true. I am a slut for Danielle Wilds.”

Matt: *in the background* SAME

Dan: thank you for the compliment? I mean we don’t slut shame in this house

“95% of the reason I love Exy is because of Neil Josten’s ass in those shorts.”

Neil: *opens mouth to go on a rant about all the other reasons they should love exy*

“I want Laila Dermott to smash a laptop on my tits.”

Laila: *wheezing, slides out of chair to the floor* BOUNDARIES. Treat your tits better, please.

“I hate obvious symbolism” bro shut up sun and moon couples are a pillar of our society
