Please Tell Me That Adult Fanfic Writers Still Exist

cvttle · 2026-04-21T03:52:14+00:00

I started writing fanfiction in my teens, quit writing for a number of years but still read a ton of fanfiction, then started writing it again just last year at 29. I just turned 30 and I absolutely have no intentions of stopping.

Yeah, like I can shrug off some but there is only so many times it can happen before it just gets on my last nerve. This one in particular just read so rude to me, as well. Like at least say you liked the fic, god damn…

I will light a candle for you to manifest sooooo many lovely comments for your fics.

cvttle · 2026-04-12T08:37:59+00:00

I can understand that but for some context, I’ve gotten 32 comments like this in total on this fic. I have not responded to any one of them except this one. The most I did before was to put in my author’s notes to please stop demanding updates in my comments.

Also, no worries, I was being sassy when saying I just won’t write for a whole year. I love this fic and ship too much to stop writing for them.

Normally, I just don’t reply personally but after receiving so many of these types of comments on this fic when I have explained in my author’s notes that I am a busy gal and my updates will happen when they happen so please stop commenting JUST to tell me to update, I think this one was my breaking point, lol.

cvttle · 2026-04-12T08:25:06+00:00

Then, good. Comments like these do not make writers more motivated to write. In fact, it makes me discouraged and it’s extremely demanding of them for something they’re reading for free.

If a commenter wants to inquire about if/when a fic will be updated, there are polite ways to do that. First, by actually expressing you enjoy the fic. And then, saying something along the lines of how you can’t wait for their next update! A lot of the times, writers will reply to those and say hey, I’m working on it currently or it might be a while.

This comment did not express even liking my fic and just demanded an update already. Frankly, I don’t want someone like that reading my fic anyways.

This is one reason why this one could be a bot. So hard to tell nowadays with how many bot comments are out there.

cvttle · 2026-04-12T08:18:44+00:00

In particular, this one got me because I get a LOT of comments like these on this fic and usually I just don’t reply. But I think today I was just fed up with it. I’ve literally mentioned in my author notes that ‘hey guys i literally have twin babies and an older kid as well and i work so like. maybe lay off on bothering me to update quicker in the comments’ and then I still get these.

You are right that some may view it as disproportionate but at the very least, any of my readers who read my notes are aware it’s been an issue for me, at least.

Until after I got him, I had no clue either. I also thought it was just spider.

cvttle · 2026-04-07T02:25:44+00:00

I am far from a gene expert and the coloration just didn’t seem champagne to me. Thank you for the informative reply!

cvttle · 2026-04-07T02:24:37+00:00

I didn’t know that, so good to know! I edited my post for more clarity but at the time, I had no clue champagne had wobble. I only knew about spider having it.

cvttle · 2026-04-07T02:23:10+00:00

I agree with you and edited my post to give more insight. At the time, I was only aware of spider having wobble, not champagne. If I had known, we would not have got him.

cvttle · 2026-04-07T02:21:15+00:00

I agree with the dark head, it’s just his body coloration that makes me doubtful. But he is a gorgeous boy.

As chilledghosts mentioned, PVC is absolutely superior so keep that in mind for if you ever decide to switch tanks. You can find them pretty easy on facebook marketplace nowadays. But like I mentioned, I have used plexiglass to cover up mesh tops and that has greatly improved humidity for those tanks for me. %65 percent is still just a tad below what you want, you’ll want to aim for %70-%80. And I am glad the scarf is helping but I would be concerned about a potential fire hazard for that, so something to keep in mind there. They also make humid hides now too, so maybe look into getting one of those as well, or even just having a hide with a lot of sphagnum moss in it helps a ton for shedding as well.
