Hello, hello, sorry for the long time between Journals!
I just, I gotta rant here.
So as you all know, I write fic on various platforms and I post it pretty consistently.
Well, I posted a fic yesterday that took me three days straight of writing and at nearly 13k, it was practically eating the Muses. It's part of a collection and when I checked it for views, just to see the reaction to it... 22 views.
22. Fucking. Views.
For nearly 13k worth of words that I worked really, really hard on. Maybe I'm just embittered by the fact that I put in all of my efforts and it gets jack shit.
The other fic I wrote is scratching 3k and has more views and a goddamn bookmark already when I didn't even really put all that much into it.
Maybe I just needed to get that off my chest but I also think I just need to get outside for a while and ignore the Internet.
Maybe I'm just reading too much into the fact that it's a bit of a death fic for a popular set of characters and people generally don't read those. Maybe I picked the wrong prompt. Fuck if I know anymore.
Regards,
Tam
