[Hi, every one! I know it's been quite some time since I've updated, but please bare with me as I will try to get to one in the next week. I recently started a new job that demands a lot of my time & the creative/time I have to put into this story just hasn't been present lately. I found this neat little thing on tumblr that I hope you'll read & take into consideration for my story. 110% accurate! I LOVE feedback. Please don't ever think you're annoying me with your wonderful comments/conversation! I'd love to discuss the story with you guys or see what's popular & what's not! Thanks in advance, update coming this next week. :) ]

ATTENTION: For anyone who reads fanfiction without leaving feedback, Here's a few things you should know:

Fanfiction is a gift.
Fic writers don't have to share their works with you. They don't have to write them at all. They do it and they share it because they're fans of the show/book/movie etc. just like you, and they want to contribute to everyone's enjoyment of fandom.

Fanfiction is hard to write.
You need a lot of creativity and passion to write fic. You need a ton of motivation and drive to write a complete fic, let alone a good one. Fic authors write for hours and hours and hours, often staying up late into the night just to write. They write through job struggles and personal issues, resorting to phones and tablets when their computers are on the fritz, tapping away on public buses and trains just because they can't find any other time to write.

Fanfiction is free.
Fic writers give away thousands and thousands of words of pure fandom magic, and you get to consume all of it for the wonderful price of nothing. The only reward writers receive for themselves (besides a sense of accomplishment) is the response they get from you, the reader. Some don't even feel that accomplishment until they see kudos and comments telling them how much their work was enjoyed.

Please.

No matter how much time you have, even just clicking the kudos button takes less than a second. And if you have time to read 5k words at one go, it's no stretch at all to take a few more seconds to type 'good job!' or 'i loved this!' in the comment box and hit send.

Still not convinced?

1. IF YOU'RE EMBARRASSED / SHY,
Fic authors LOVE hearing from you. Don't worry about whether you think you're going to phrase your response well. That's literally the last thing we care about. Just knowing that you had a good time with something we made is EVERYTHING to us.

2. IF YOU STILL JUST DON'T SEE THE POINT,
I have a very special challenge for you, my friend.
Write a fic.
Go forth, and write a complete, well-structured, well-characterised fic with organic, stimulating dialogue interwoven into a proper, fully fleshed-out storyline. Publish your work for all the Internet to see. And then get back to me.

[LOVE ALL MY READERS!! Thank you to everyone who've read/added to the reading list/voted/ & most importantly-- LEFT FEEDBACK!!!!]
