BABE. This is definitely a message that is too nice for me to feel anything but obnoxious about publicly answering, and I do feel obnoxious right now, in this moment, as I am publicly answering it. But the askbox is a public channel and I know at least that when I send a message through a public channel, I want to be responded to in a manner that is likewise public! ANYWAY the important thing is that I thank you endlessly for being in possession of such a beautiful soul, and for your propensity to be kind to Internet strangers who are incapable of doing anything for you in return. Best case scenario, someone sees this and thinks, “Preposterous, there are way better fics out there, so I better leave a comment on one of them to make my appreciation known” and somewhere out there, a writer gets their day made. Worst case scenario, I’M OBNOXIOUS BUT IT COSTS NOTHING TO SCROLL ON PASTThe second most important thing is that it is UNJUST that you have somehow had experiences in your past that led you to develop any sort of fear about sending incredibly sweet notes! It might not even be just you, it’s a sentiment I’ve seen expressed elsewhere and it’s unjust every time! How wild to think that overly generous fic reviews, the ONE AND ONLY REASON WHY I EVER WRITE ANYTHING AT ALL, might ever be met with any reaction short of giddy welcome??? I’m sorry that fandom has jerks in it! :’( I mean like… I guess other people might have other reasons for writing things, but… still… everyone should be grateful for the gift that you give out of the goodness of your heart! AND I AM GRATEFUL BEYOND MEASURE. Thank you. v v vfjkd;hglk it is delivered with exactly the same affect as when someone with no particular joint problems has to get up from a chair to fetch a glass of water– there’s a thing that needs to be done, it’s not a big deal but you still gotta acknowledge your dutiful performance with an auditory signal of some sort. Need to pick up the remote control you dropped? Hup! Need to head out to check the mailbox? Hup! Need to fuck your co-worker with whom you have been maintaining a precariously undefined level of emotional intimacy? Hup!Also now that I’m here answering asks, I’ll just tag on a little bit at the end here to say that it’s writing season so I’ll be on comics hiatus for a few weeks! I’m definitely still around to read and answer messages, and I’ll also likely be doing one-off sketches here and there, but more involved comics must wait until later BECAUSE I TAKE TOO LONG TO DO ANYTHING AND I CAN’T EVER SHUT AND WRITE WITHOUT PITCHING A RITUAL FIT ABOUT HOW SLOW I AM -- source link
