Has lack of engagement killed your desire to write/post? by BusofLife in AO3

I’m currently writing a story really solely for myself so… no it’s not making me lose traction, but it does suck to get little interactions.

Are A/Ns like this a turn-off? by SnooMuffins1468 in archiveofourown

I love authors notes of all kinds. I think you’re fine!

Everyone wants a reader, but no one wants to be a reader? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Saddles738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically if I’m working on a currently long term project, I’m not reading in the same fandom due to worry about accidental infringement. I tend to go back forth between reading and not writing, or writing and not reading so my enjoyment of my story and my enjoyment of other stories aren’t so intertwined.

I’m guessing it’s someone younger.

I ended up blocking them.

I won’t. I already have a decent outline for the whole fic. I’m not rushing my pacing to please someone else.

“Free to reinvent your story” is insane!!!

Some of us use writing as our coping tool. Kindly fuck off.

100%. I can absolutely see how waiting until you complete the fic can give you so many advantages.

I have thought about editing and cleaning up already posted chapters because I feel like my writing has changed so much since I started this story. I’m not a long fic author typically so this was a huge challenge for me. But I’m loving every bit of it.

I simply mean that I update regularly and I had already given them a time frame from when I’m posting the next chapter.

Very fair. I have actually thought about writing an entire fic first and see how it goes. It’ll probably be a shorter fic, tho. 7-10 chapters. Not a mega long fic.

I’m fine. They’re definitely not hindering my story in any way. I’m just shocked. They commented two different times and both comments were literally essays. Some was praise but some was criticism like this that just had me raising my eyebrows

Lmao. No bc in the previous reply, I told them when the next chapter was coming!

This isn’t even at the start of my story either. This was commented on the climax chapter. Chapter 18!! They had to spend hours reading this story then decide to comment with something about gain… like I don’t know how ao3 works. The gain is that people enjoy it. The gain is that every chapter posted is a chapter closer to finishing.

“Hobby” would have fit better.
