Do y'all not reread your own fics? Like I reread shit I wrote all the time. Cause I wrote that shit for me.
I think when we say we write for ourselves, it really means, we wrote things without the worry of "Is this a popular trope, will this go viral, is it trendy"
just saw someone say we’re in a fanfic recession bc none of them are long or well written and im truly so tired of the way yall treat fanfic authors tbh
