I just realized that my oc, Hiva Shinso, is a little over a year old. That first fic is over a year old! It’s so weird seeing the difference between how it looked when I first wrote it and after the recent edits.
To the people who stuck around that entire year, you’re awesome. You dealt with crappy writing and month long breaks and I applaud you for putting up with it. I’m a better writer now because of the support I got from the people reading my stories and I appreciate it so much.
The people that read my preference book, you’re still dealing with a long break while I catch up on my fic and I’m sorry about it but I also appreciate you for it. Your support of that book helped me explore so many different characters and stories that I eventually want to write. I almost deleted it at one point because no one was reading it and I got worried but then the views and votes started rolling in. Now its got 85.4k views and 1.2k votes which is so cool.
Those notifications of people adding to their library or voting or commenting are what pushed me on my journey to be a better writer. It may just be a hobby, but now I’m able to call it something I’m good at it and that’s really big for. I second guess my abilities a lot so to have people I’ve never met support me meant a lot more than having people who know me and like me support me because they think they have to. Thank you for the help and the support. It really does mean a lot.
