i have a masters degree in english literature and i understand wanting people to improve their craft but not everyone wants to it’s a hobby it’s playing with dolls no one intends to be the next shakespeare these are stories written for free and for fun it’s not a literacy crisis

this mass psychosis that fanfic is an uncritiquable art form is a symptom of the literacy crisis don’t ask me how i just feel it

I literally just use kudos to keep track of what I’ve already read

oli 🖤🦭 met dnp!!@minrozanovOct 22

maybe i’m fanfic ancient (i am) but i don’t really understand readers being so cagey about giving kudos? to me, they’re just a simple like, or an “i read this, thanks”? i don’t pay much attention to them as an author and even less as a reader as some kind of signal of fic quality
