"Write for yourself"

Brother, I literally have more than 2 million words sitting in my drafts folder instead of posted on AO3.

I write for myself. I post for community interaction.

he would not fucking say that but it would be funny if he did

yknow im slightly surprised people don't have more thoughts about sekais from a system lens. maybe bc the entire unit made/has access to it so it feels less ""personal"" or wtv subconscious reason but like. pov you just went through a traumatizing experience and have no idea where to go from here and then one day a fictive of your idol shows up like Hiii come to our manifestation of your own hopes and dreams and maybe i can make you feel a lil better :)" and it works and now you just know your very own personal hatsune miku you can talk to and hang out with whenever.

and the sekai starts out simple with just miku and one or two other people but as your life goes on and you progress with your dreams and stepping stones get in your way the sekai grows and more people climb out of the woodwork from nowhere introduce themselves and help wherever they can

idk it feels like something can be made with this

the real true purpose of having a brain is to think about fictional characters

Fanfic is a free hobby.

It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.

Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.

You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.

You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.

Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?

Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?

I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.

Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.

Please don't ruin this for us.

Some of us need it.

i need to remember i have free will and i can write anything i want and if people dont like it they're the ones at fault for reading it when i tagged it properly

also known as: no i do not need to bully myself when i add a 'timeskip' into my stories.
