I Normally Write Or Do Art For Myself More Than Anybody Else - Tumblr Posts

"I really enjoy this fanart, I hope the artist continues mak-" Tell them!

Tell them! Tell them! Tell them!

If you enjoy a piece of fanart or fanfiction, you say that to the person making it! Comment saying, "This is really good!" Say what you enjoy! Hell, just keysmash, if that's your prerogative! Just do SOMETHING MEANINGFUL to tell the artist that you saw and enjoyed what they made

I once read some fanfic that was a quickly made oneshot that the writer had little intention of going back to and commented, "This is amazing! The character interactions were so cute and you got everyone's voices down pat! Reading this was a wonderful time :D" Three months later, much to my delight, they added a second chapter.

I saw a fancomic of a relatively obscure game I like and when I reblogged it I said everything I loved about the comic and near immediately the artist messaged me saying that they were happy I liked it so much and planned on making a follow-up.

If you want to see more of the things you like then you NEED to let the artist know. If you read a fanfic, make a quick comment about what you liked. If you see something on Tumblr, you should never just like it; The very least you should do is reblog it.

Say more nice things about the things you like! The people making it will love to hear it, no matter how simple you think the praise is!
