Praise Post - Tumblr Posts

ATTENTION ALL FANFIC WRITERS

I would like to announce my appreciation, respect, and gratitude for every single one of your works that you post not only on Tumblr, but literally any platform that allows you to post fanfiction. Recently, I made the whirl-wind decision to write a Robb Stark x fem!Reader fanfic (not even to post because my anxiety could never allow such an atrocity to publicly exist) and now 2 days passed, and I have maybe 10-ish bullet points of how I want this fic to go, and spent 3 hours today trying to figure out the distance between the Twins and Seagard and the amount of time spent it would take to get there on horse. Not even taking into account of the time spent of the different types of horses in the ASOIAF universe and equestrian terminologies (as well as figuring out their real-world equivalents’) and trying figuring out exactly how heightened are a direwolf’s senses are compared to a regular wolf’s and how much faster are they in comparison to horses. 

Seriously, how do any of you do this without pay or only ask for commission??? It completely boggles my mind to know that you guys do this willingly, that you take the time out of your schedules and use it to go through this process, that you go out of your way to provide content for a fandom in a way that may not even guarantee you praise that you deserve!!!!! I cannot stress ENOUGH how grateful I am to all of you. I have been on Tumblr for a while, and I have been part of many fandoms, but I have never truly understood what you go through in order to post your content and WILLINGLY WITHOUT PAYMENT! 

You guys are so honestly the best, and you deserve so much appreciation and praise for what you provide to your fandoms. I really wanted thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.
