today is fanfiction author appreciation day and i wanna give a shoutout to every author who struggles with unending self doubt, who pours their heart and soul into their work and posts it publicly, who pours their heart and soul into their work and doesn’t post it publicly, who writes and writes and writes and wishes they were more recognized for their efforts.
to every author who feels lost or forgotten or asks what the point is. to every author who wonders if they’re good enough.
your words matter. your stories matter. i know it’s hard and that writing is a special kind of hell, but thank you for keeping at it. this post doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of anything but i love fanfiction authors so much and just wanna say you’re appreciated <33333
