iāve seen a lot of posts going around about how writers are leaving due to lack of feedback, how sfw writers get less traction than nsfw writers, how longfic writersāespecially sfw fic writers, suffer the most out of all of these. and i have to say, as an sfw longfic writers i really agree with all of these. i reblog almost every rant i come across from frustrated writers, reblog almost every psa, every attempt to educate those new to tumblr and the reblogging system.
but it seems like thereās been a misconception. something that makes readers mad. āyou should be grateful weāre reading your works in the first place!ā
well. i guess so. but is it really too much to ask for a simple reblog instead of a like? with a few words in the tags? even no words at all. empty reblogs are still above likes. i get not wanting to say anything sometimes, sometimes iām tired and just want to read something without saying anything about it. it doesnāt have anything to do with the author or quality of work, but just the fact that iām tired. so reblog with nothing. or an āšā in the tags. makes a world of difference. most writers wonāt care if the āfeedbackā is just a few words. and as a writer and a reader, i see both sides.
now, about the ābe grateful!ā. i⦠suppose. i donāt know a single author thatās ungrateful though. wanting more meaningful interactions isnāt ungrateful for what they have now. in fact, when i see most rants about lack of interaction they almost always start off with how grateful they are for what they have now. itās not selfish to ask for that. personally, iād rather have 50 notes, but most of those notes be reblogs and feedback, than 500 notes, with all of them being likes. donāt know if everyone feels that way, but itās certainly how i feel.
so basically, no. you donāt have to reblog or leave feedback. you donāt have to interact at all. you can read every piece of work that the writers you follow puts out without leaving a single like. thatās all up to you and none of us can force you to do anything else. we donāt want to force you to do these things. but if youāre not going to use a small bit of effort to give back to us for the hard work we put in and ignore us continuously when we say weāre losing motivation because of lack of feedback, you donāt get to be mad. you donāt get to demand faster output, you donāt get to be mad when requests take longer, you donāt get to be mad when authors eventually leave. you donāt get to be mad when you could have helped prevent this.
at first i didnāt mind people leaving, because lack of feedback seemed to weed out the weird people who came here to āwriteā for the sake of ātumblr fameā. okay, good riddance. but that was before i really became a creator on here. i started watching some really talented, dedicated writers leave. people that truly love writing. people that have been writing their entire lives. you might think itās stupid for people to leave over a lack of feedbackāi did at first, i admit itābut until youāre in writersā shoes, you donāt know how damn devastating it can be. and it was angering, because i always reblog with feedback now. but one reblog sometimes isnāt enough. just because a fic already has feedback and reblogs doesnāt mean yours wonāt count. if you wanted to say āi liked this!ā then say it. your reblog, no matter how simplistic you think it is, could be the reason someone stays and keeps writing.
this is very long and rambly and choppy because i wrote it without planning anything out. just my feelings. but lastly, i want to leave you with this thought. next time you see a post talking about a subject like this, about reblogs vs. likes, i want you to check the notes. oftentimes many people reblog those posts, like i do, to educate their followers. and that leads to more reblogs. more people talking about it. it expands the audience. shows new people. it allows the post to constantly grow.
imagine if we could do that for fics.
