i’ve 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 writers—especially 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 there’s been a misconception. something that makes readers mad. “you should be grateful we’re reading your works in the first place!”

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 i’m tired and just want to read something without saying anything about it. it doesn’t have anything to do with the author or quality of work, but just the fact that i’m tired. so reblog with nothing. or an “👍” in the tags. makes a world of difference. most writers won’t care if the “feedback” is just a few words. and as a writer and a reader, i see both sides.

now, about the “be grateful!”. i… suppose. i don’t know a single author that’s ungrateful though. wanting more meaningful interactions isn’t 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. it’s not selfish to ask for that. personally, i’d rather have 50 notes, but most of those notes be reblogs and feedback, than 500 notes, with all of them being likes. don’t know if everyone feels that way, but it’s certainly how i feel.

so basically, no. you don’t have to reblog or leave feedback. you don’t have to interact at all. you can read every piece of work that the writers you follow puts out without leaving a single like. that’s all up to you and none of us can force you to do anything else. we don’t want to force you to do these things. but if you’re 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 we’re losing motivation because of lack of feedback, you don’t get to be mad. you don’t get to demand faster output, you don’t get to be mad when requests take longer, you don’t get to be mad when authors eventually leave. you don’t get to be mad when you could have helped prevent this.

at first i didn’t mind people leaving, because lack of feedback seemed to weed out the weird people who came here to “write” for the sake of “tumblr fame”. 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 it’s stupid for people to leave over a lack of feedback—i did at first, i admit it—but until you’re in writers’ shoes, you don’t know how damn devastating it can be. and it was angering, because i always reblog with feedback now. but one reblog sometimes isn’t enough. just because a fic already has feedback and reblogs doesn’t mean yours won’t count. if you wanted to say “i liked this!” 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.
