Im So Sorry Babe - Tumblr Posts
This is just so frustrating to me. Authors here on tumblr aren’t just writing machines that are here to crank out product for you whenever and wherever you feel like.
We are people. We struggle, and when we do release a chapter and all the feedback we get is a demand for more (and usually not in a positive/supportive manner) is just disheartening. Honestly, I don’t blame Missy for turning off asks and messages. I’ve done it before.
As a fan of the series she is talking about I’m so disappointed as well. Do you realize that the more you push the less we want to write?
It’s just ridiculous, and Missy if you read this babe I am so incredibly sorry that you’re having to deal with this. It’s not fair and people who really care and have connected with you and your works won’t treat you this way, I promise.
So please take all the time you need, we can and will wait for a new chapter or whatever new post you feel like sharing.
We are not machines out here to entertain you.
We don’t make a profit from this. We just want to write and share our love for fan works.
Be kind to others.
Sincerely, Jess ❤️
That reader ask was so rude , but i honestly didn't like the way u answered coz as a reader i felt like u don't appreciate the love & support ppl give to ur writing , just wanted to share this.
I’m not really sure how you translated that I don’t appreciate the love and support people give to my writing by my response to that. All I’ve ever tried my best to focus on, is the love and support people give me.
But what I do know is that this ask is the last straw I can take from the consistent needling I’ve been getting in my ask box for days, in which I generally delete because I hate feeding into peoples negativity and giving them what they want. But I’m gonna be honest, getting asks like this when I finally speak up is the most discouraging thing I can ever receive.
So I’ve taken it upon myself to just turn off my asks and it will stay like this from now on, I can’t take anymore people coming in my inbox hiding on anon and either demanding me to update, accusing me of not writing at all, cruelly telling me to give up on writing outside fanfiction, and now I get to add being told that by defending myself, I’m somehow not appreciating the support I get.
I cant win here. I’m constantly haunted by imposter syndrome that if I post anything other then asks or a new chapter that people will be upset and with each person who streams in just like you, my fear is only further confirmed. This blog is no longer fun 😕 and I would much rather have fun and do something I enjoy then be consistently harassed or accused of something, so asks are turned off, messages are turned off, I have no desire to hear yours or anyones opinion on me from here on out and until wicked is done.
