'i Only Read Completed Fics' - Tumblr Posts

The scenario entitled consumerist people in fandom have created for themselves is so funny to me. You have write for yourself'd fic writers into literally not giving a shit.

All the time recently, I see people complaining that people won't write for their ship/headcanon, which deserves to be written for because [reason, reason, reason], meanwhile never leaving comments on fic that have ship/headcanon, much less recommending or reblogging fic posts much less even hitting the like or kudos button.

The only people who continue to write fic are those who literally do not give a shit because they know whenever they post they're lucky to get one comment. Why would we cater to you, random internet person??? Why? For what?

So if you're wondering why alternate ship/headcanon is so popular, it's probably because people like it or it's a small pocket of fandom where readers still interact with writers instead of treating us like tiktok/IG content creators.

If you want more of what you like, write it yourself and/or support writers who already do and stop expecting everyone to drop what they're doing and cater their hobby to what you like.
