Here’s a PSA for readers when interacting with fics: your interaction is great, comments, votes, saves etc. And it’s a great way of showing your fave writers that you engage with what they’re writing. What’s not so great is commenting “UPDATE” “UPDATE PLEASE” on every new chapter that is released. It is not helpful and won’t make updates come any faster and if anything it make the writers feel overwhelmed to meet demands, especially when they are already so busy with their lives. Have som patience. If you really wanna support writers and encourage them, tell them what you liked about what you read! Tell them they did a good job! Screaming at us to update it doesn’t tell us what we did right and how we’re meant to make the next chapter even better. I’m not the only one who feels like this, it’s a universal experience for most writers on here and other platforms. So please, stop demanding updates. Thank you!
