Seriously Read This
To all new readers and my loyal and supportive older ones, I welcome you to my new fic.
My 11th to be exact.
Don't worry about my other fics, I'll get around to them eventually. None of them are dropped. My update schedule is horrendous. I might update in an hour or a year.
Now, as custom, I could make a list of all my warnings like usual with all the sass and witty humor that I always have, no it's ok, please don't applaud.
But I'm not going to do that this time.
This time, I'm going to make a simple message that I hope you all understand.
Really, I'm not fucking around, I really hope ALL OF YOU understand.
I began writing as a personal hobby of mine after a long time of reading. From real books to wuxia novels, to Japanese light novels, to Korean light nights, to manga/manhua's, and finally to fanfiction. I did it for years to pass the time while I studied/worked/and went about my life.
It was soothing to me.
NOW, I say this with every fiber of my being.
I am writing FANFICTION for my personal pleasure. That's it.
I am NOT writing to improve.
I am NOT writing to receive negative criticism like a masochist.
I am NOT writing to satisfy the whims of others.
I am NOT a professional.
I am NOT making a career out of this.
I AM writing because it makes me happy.
I AM writing because it's fun.
I DO make grammar mistakes, I'm not perfect.
IF others can enjoy what I have written, then it makes me incredibly happy. Especially when readers are interactive in their reviews to show how they imagine or laughed/cried/raged at something in the story.
I didn't write it for you all, I won't lie and say I did. But seeing just how many people enjoyed my writing makes me very happy, and I want to say thank you to all of you who have supported me.
So, if YOU dislike what I have written, please leave. No one is forcing you. If you complain from chapter 1 to chapter 10 then not only do you look like a dick, but you contradict yourself by the fact that you kept reading even when you dislike it. Are you masochists in denial or attention seeking children?
If YOU are bothered by grammar issues, feel free to private message me. Don't clog the review sections with pointing out the ones my grammar check missed. It's rude and basically like telling a random stranger everything you think is a flaw about them. If I had asked you to criticize, it would be different, but I am not.
To end this, I love writing, I love seeing others enjoy my writing, but every single bad review gets to me. It just does even after almost 2 years into this.
I have seen many authors say to ignore them. I have heard many people say to ignore them. And I have told myself to ignore them.
But they still get to me anyway. Like flies on a summer day.
So please, for the love of god, if you don't like it just leave and stop trying to spread hate and pain. Think about how your words might be taken by others before you hit that review button.
I know that makes me a hypocrite to say, considering I will rage and violently curse out people when I am stressed and annoyed, but that's just me. Don't make me angry and I'm a chill sloth who shares his weed.
This is a free site, no one owes you anything.
Thank you for reading this.
If you stuck around, I hope you enjoy what I have written.
