Glad I followed a bunch of authors I liked and we became friends and now we all get to share our creative process. Idk why some ppl on here are simulating male loneliness epidemic fandom version lmao. Connecting with fic writers over your shared interest is the most normal thing.

“Who is Josh Groban?! KILL YOURSELF!” is absolutely one of the best comedic line deliveries of all time and I think about it at least once a week.

@BiancaNighting yeah, i can see that. not sure how common that attitude is, but i think it's interesting how acknowledging an author can be seen as deferring to them rather than connecting with another fan or, even more "selfishly" just following your curiosity to find more fic you might like.

[chloe-ver @woolclove]

ngl i don’t care for the responses to this equating acknowledging there’s a real person behind the fic you’re reading or even glancing at their profile to see what else they’ve written with the expectation to know an author’s life story. that’s not remotely what’s being said here

[》☆ rook at lightspeed @heygriesly]

realizing that fic readers these days can't even be bothered to know who wrote what they're reading is the most disheartening thing. no wonder they don't think leaving kudos or comments is important - they seem to think fics just spring forth from the void fully formed.

[lo @_pietrotheclown]

one of my favs things after reading an excellent fic is first seeing what else the author has written and then also looking at what they’ve bookmarked

I know them because they're my friends and peers. Just as they know me because I am their friend and peer. 🤷

[chloe-ver @woolclove]

if anything, the discourse re: the distinction between AO3 readers who keep track of authors they enjoy and those who rely *exclusively* on tag searches to find fic, effectively starting from scratch every time, is a fascinating case study in information retrieval behavior.

[chloe-ver @woolclove]

@Suneater_AUrec again i'm not talking about memorizing usernames or whatever. my surprise is over people who do not think "hmm i wonder if this person wrote anything else for x fandom." or refuse to do so. that is what strikes me as incurious.

[chloe-ver @woolclove]

@Suneater_AUrec to me there's a difference between not remembering an author's username and not caring who wrote something you enjoyed. if you're looking at their other works, you're already demonstrating the kind of curiosity and recognition i'm talking about.

Male centered as a term used to mean how a woman will center her whole life, personality and worldview around masculinity and seeking male approval and/or attention. Not a girl having strong bonds with male friends or family or having a crush on another guy. Cmon now

Saw someone say, “The internet was once a library and they turned it into a store,” and if you’re young I don’t think you can imagine how different the web used to be.

[chloe-ver @woolclove]

nobody is asking readers to memorize the names of every author they read. i just find it bizarre to enjoy someone's writing, whether it's fic or traditionally published, and have absolutely no curiosity about whether they've written anything else?
