HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Sparklers... I hate to admit it, but I think I might need a little help. As some of you know, I take care of my disabled mom and disabled son. Earlier this year my mom was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer and autoimmune. As if that wasn't enough, a few weeks ago she was somehow bitten by a tick.

omg just saw this post… IK What I‘ll be reading today!!!

Effectively ruining my fandom experience from both directions.

TLDR: people, if you like shit, SPEAK UP, please!
But at the same time, don‘t make the fandom expectation that you suck if you don‘t, because if everyone creates white noise, you‘ll lose the sound of a genuine compliment between it.

The writing process is. And while obviously, a comment isn‘t *nearly* as close an effort as even a drabble is, a genuine comment still takes thought and effort put into it. And to put that on the same level as a mandatory platitude ruins the comment for me and makes the effort feel wasted writing it

To have an effect.
It‘s precisely why I could never defend an „unless I get X comments, I won‘t update“ approach. For me, that poisons the well, and even if i were to leave a comment myself now, I‘d feel like it wouldn’t come across as genuine anymore.
Writers specifically know how hard

Wording this stuff is hard, I do hope I can get my thoughts across somewhat.
I absolutely agree with the point of encouraging everyone to share their thoughts on feelings, that is what helps making the creative juices flow for me too, but in the end, it needs to stay a voluntary *choice* for it

That‘s the kind of dilution I am talking about.
On a similar vein, when I set out to do a task at home out of my own volition, then get someone coming over to tell me to do said task? All motivation leaves my body, because now it feels like an expectation instead of me doing something nice…

In the past, I‘ve egged on with friends sometimes, because even when I tell them what I think, I get back messages clearly indicating they don‘t believe me. That frustrates me, because while I know they don’t accuse me of lying, it feels like they call my genuine feelings out as a lie.

-Know they get handed out willy nilly, I lose trust in the things I do get, because how am I supposed to differenciate what is a genuine compliment from the heart vs an obligation.
I can‘t run on nothing either, but I can‘t run on platitudes either, because those feel like lies to me.

-when it comes to the whole thing. I precisely think if praise became equivalent to an automatic response like saying, have a nice day, at the end of a conversation, it would lose exactly what makes it significant. I don‘t need a participation trophy for creating something. On the contrary, if I

(Gonna look for akis comment after answering)
I absolutely agree that a healthy community thrives best when those that create for it actually get feedback and recognition, because yelling into the void without an answer can be incredibly draining.
Let me try to give some examples from my own life

What I’m trying to say is, I want people to express themselves genuinely, and to comment more, absolutely. But the way things get pushed to do so out of obligation feels disingenuous to me.
I want the comment to be real.

They have to, just because I wrote. Does that make sense?
None of my own comments are because I feel I *need* to comment on a work just for the works sake, but because it made me feel things and I want to share that with the creator. If I don’t have that, it feels wrong to force it.

While I absolutely agree that people should interact with the work they enjoy, I do agree with the sentiment of “obligation diminishes the effect.” If I do post, do I want comments? Of course I do. But I want genuine connection with the reader. Not a comment made because the people get the feeling

Omg I’m getting emotional reading this! Gramps came back to get him 🥺🥺😭😭😭
