An Open Note To Readers Of Fanfic
An open note to readers of fanfic
Sometimes I stare at the computer screen when the words don’t want to come and I think, “Fuck, who am I kidding? This is terrible writing, and this story is shit, and no one cares, anyway.” And I close the window and go do something else.
But every now and then I get an amazing, heartfelt, beautiful comment from someone who loved something I wrote, and it reminds me that, at least for that one person, I did write something worthwhile. And so I open the window again and I write one sentence, and then another, and then I start to find my way again.
So on behalf of all fanfic writers everywhere, I want to say thank you, thank you so much, to all of the readers who take the time to leave a comment and tell us that something we wrote mattered to you, that it brightened your day or made you laugh or cry or get horny or whatever.
Please don’t think we’re ever bothered by your comment, or that we don’t want to hear it, or that what you have to say isn’t important enough. It means so, so much. And on some days, it’s what keeps us going.

Every time we get new TLOU s2 photo leaks I celebrate like it’s Christmas. It’s like “YEAH, THAT IS A COOL SHIRT THAT BELLA’S WEARING YIPEE”
15 & 16 for the writer asks!
LAUREN!! Thanks for the ask friendo!
15: favorite place to write
Honestly I’m a boring introvert. My bed lol. I just lay in my bed and write disturbing things because what else can I do with my life?
16: favorite weather to write
Rain rain rain. Rain > literally everything else
(Maybe 15 is 16 and 16 is 15 idk lol)
I’ll be real with you guys, I’ve been having trouble writing recently, and just some cool quick stories will help me tons! Please send some TLOU fic suggestions and I’ll write a bit for some of them!!
(Also, check out the person who inspired me to do this, and who has written some incredible snips of stories: @lauronk someone who’s writing I can only dream of being half as good as)
I wish you would write a fic where...
Send me an anymous (or not) summary of the fic you wish I would write. (maybe I will write a tidbit)
1,2,3
wayyyy late with this but…
1: the last sentence you wrote
The door closed with a soft ‘click’.
-AbelCode c4
2: a character whose POV you’re currently exploring
I mean I’m not sure… I mostly write in Ellie and Joel’s POVs so that not super new, but I’m doing that I guess lol
3: how do you feel about your current WIP?
I have two ongoing stories at the moment, the first one I have is AoaBG which I’m on part 2 of atm. I’m really proud of this work, I think it’s definitely some of the best writing I’ve ever done. However I wasn’t adoring Scars so far so I changed a ton of the plan and am rewriting the first chapter, but now I’m liking it WAY more😅👍
And the second one I have is AbelCode, which I just adore. I love doing less angsty writing, even though it’s way out of my comfort zone. Also I’m getting a ton of help from the incredible @wordspinning, which makes it even more fun to write.
I’ve been drawing a lot recently and I made some fanart for @penandinkprincess amazing Brady Bunch series!!
