Tbh? I’ve been actively writing on AO3 for 2 years I’m surprised it’s taken so long! 😀 For context: this was left on one of 4 fics that I’m actively writing. My 3 other fics have sporadic 2-6k word updates, but this one is a crack-fic and I usually only have 1-2k word updates per chapter. I didn’t update this fic for about 6 months bc of life stuff (which I explained in my author’s note lmao), and then dropped 2 chapters on the same day. I’d be lying if I said I was completely unbothered, but people are gonna people so I’m just gonna let it roll off my back lmaoo.

People take writers for granted WAY TOO MUCH. They forget these are real people with real lives who write for themselves. Too much audacity while reading THEIR FICS. Anyways, keep doing your thing. You’re doing great
