Introductory Post!

Introductory Post!

and finally, i actually do it.

anyway, hello, my name is athena areia, as you can see.

i use she/her pronouns.

bisexual

a little bit socially inept, a little bit awkward sometimes, in desperate need of an ornate, sharp dagger, problems might be fixed by getting a cat

i post very random things, but have mostly created this as a platform where i yap about all my fanfics and fandoms.

fandoms: percy jackson (specifically fempercy and perpollo, which is very obvious from all my fics), marvel, six of crows, a good girl's guide to murder, the targaryen and stark families in general (i frankly don't care about any other character in westeros), shah rukh khan (obsessed. that's all), and harry potter (although, fuck jkr, and i also believe a lot of the stuff in the books could be better, but i've had a hyperfixation since i was nine and it can't be helped. i prefer femharry, have black family brainrot, and live with the mantra 'sirius is alive'.)

if you comment on my fics i will love you forever

i give hugs. all the time. basically the embodiment of 'i'm olaf, and i like warm hugs'.

any sort of homophobia, transphobia, racism, general assholery, etc, will not be tolerated.

Btw can we be proud of our women team too?

do I think the grishaverse au and the divorce au do not get the deserved appreciation as compared to my other perpollo works? yes. do i talk about it? not fucking enough.

comments on fanfics

I thought about writing this post for a long time and decided, fuck it, I'm gonna write this.

All over my dash I see people being disappointed because nobody is leaving comments on ao3 anymore/rebloging things on tumblr.

And the only thing I can think about this is: it's so true.

Two weeks ago I posted the epilog of my 60k words fanfic (I've been writing on it for almost a year and got some positive feedback on it) and I got ZERO comments, or kudos on the epilog.

I can see that people klicked on it, but I have no idea whether they liked it or not. (And I used to get a comment on my story now and then)

Last week I posted the first extra chapter (I planned three of these) and also got no reaction.

No I'm just sitting here, wondering if my writing is just true shit.

This is also the reason I was hesitate to post this. Maybe it's not the people and just that shithole of a story I've been writing.

Things like are just running around my head now and must say that the motivation to even finish those extra chapters is gone.

GUYS, IF YOU LIKE A FANFIC PLEASE LET THE AUTHOR KNOW, IT MEANS SO MUCH TO THEM.

So if you read a good story, not some bullshit like mine, write that comment.

was reading ink and parchment | blood and bone by @rxse-by-another-name and it's honestly so good. a few lines near the end that stuck out to me-
