We don't know who will read our stories, that's why we write a testament to the gods, we don't know who will read us, that's why we write as if it was to the kings, no one will remember us now and it's possible that the fandom will never get to know us, so we'll build our own monument here, the public might lose us, and the author himself might never know we exist,  But the reader, the reader will know, the reader will remember us, we will make him enjoy our stories so much that he will never forget us, until the flame of his soul is lit and our story remains in his mind as a beautiful memory, when his enjoyment is at its best, his last thought will be for us, that is our memorial,  carved into the heart of the reader. We can't lose writers, we've already won.
