Good morning! I just posted chapter 3 of Cowboy Bea! 🤠

“Halo-bearer?” Ava asks.

“Nobody can touch him. He hates everyone. He protects his girls with undying faithfulness but every once in a while, he chooses someone he likes, and it seems he has chosen you.” Camila says with a shrug and a grin.

She’s never befriended a chicken, what does this entail? Haha get it? Shit focus, “Are there perks to this? What do I do now?” Halo is nuzzling deeper into her arms. He’s making the cutest little noises, almost like a cat purring. She starts petting his head and that’s when she notices the absolutely perfect white ring around his neck. All the feathers in that area look unnaturally white and she can’t get over how perfect the circle is.

“Say hi, Ava, I am going to send this video to the group chat to announce the newest Halo-bearer to everyone!” Ava smiles and waves at the phone pointed at her. She wonders if Beatrice is in that group chat, she hopes she looks cute holding Halo and not as awkward as she feels getting used to his weight in her arms.

I think there's something that needs to be said about encouraging readers to leave feedback.

For me it's not about "tell me my writing is amazing and stroke my ego"

It's more about "please engage with me so that I can experience your joy secondhand and foster a connection with you"

I understand that not everyone wants this in their reading experience, some people are shy and a million other reasons why maybe someone wouldn't want to engage and that's perfectly fine!

But what I'm trying to steer away from is being a passive content creator with passive consumers. What I want to steer toward is fostering a community that is essential to fandom. I want to see your reactions because it makes me feel like I'm a part of something.

On encouraging reblogs —

I understand that not everyone is comfortable reblogging, especially explicit content. This is ok!

But just consider that the only reason you were able to enjoy a fic or fanart is because someone else shared it, and by not sharing it yourself you are potentially robbing someone else of the opportunity to enjoy it as much as you did.

As OPs our reach only goes so far and this website relies on reblogs in order for anything to truly get seen by a wider audience.

So that's really it! That's why I encourage these two things at the end of every story I post. Not because I'm trying to be demanding and "make people feel bad" if they don't do it.

I know most other social media sites encourage mindless content consumption and that's just the way of the world nowadays, but I am from a time when community was at the heart of fandom and I just don't want to lose that.

Ava didn't know what to expect when she went through the arc. But having to dig herself out of her mother's grave, spitting dirt and realising that she's in the past, wasn't it. Frankly, she thinks the universe has a sick sense of humour.

Eternal grave devours the lonely - time travel and messiness all around. What if Ava goes through the arc and happens in a time where she isn't supposed to be?
