As An Asexual Who Likes To Imagine Sex But Doesnt Actually Like Having Sex, Sometimes It Just Feels Like

Me filtering out kinks I don’t like on AO3. 

Hello 👋

I hope you are well 🤗

I'm writing to you in hopes that you will help me by donating, sharing, or reblogging the gofundme link. I need those donations to save my family from the war that destroyed my home and work and the death of some of my family members 😢😥

I am also Eight months pregnant  and need proper health care and medication 🚨

Every donation, share, or reblog contributes to saving our lives from this war 😢🙏

Thank you for your trust and support 🌹

I'm so sorry, but I lost my job and, as a result, my bank account, and I am unable to send anything. I know words are not worth much when your family is trapped in a war zone, but the only thing I have to offer is my sincerest condolences for the pain you have all been through and my deepest hopes that you will be spared from any more. Your strength is amazing❤️

If anyone is in a position to help, I hope you consider doing so. Vist the family's profile and read the story for yourself.

Spende für Help My Two Daughters Escape from GAZA WAR, organisiert von MOHAMED E M Mikki

Hello everyone.. I am Hadeel Mikki from Gaza, Palestine an… MOHAMED E M Mikki braucht deine Unterstützung für Help My Two Daughters Es

Love it when inspiration hits. Hate it when it's not for the project I actually wanted to work on. No, I'm not supposed to start something completely new - I've got to finish this first. please. come on... writing inspo don't get sidetracked.

It honestly made me so unreasonably excited when I saw she came out. To see that representation in someone I've admired since long before I even came out? It was awesome! Anyone who watched her video knows she kept alot of personal details private but just the idea of seeing someone I relate to on the same journey I went on is really nice I guess? It was like one more thing to relate too.

Legitimately, if my mom told me she considered aborting me, I'd ask, "Why didn't you?" with a completely straight face.

Sometimes it's not even hateful criticism that hurts the most.

I've received comments on fic that's explicitly tagged as self-indulgent, fic that I've written and shared for the sole purpose of making myself happy, only to be told all the ways it's lacking.

This has never been done in an overtly rude way, but it still hurts.

To be told that a character I wrote in a specific way, simply for myself (FOR FREE), is frustrating, weak, underdeveloped, etc. is extremely hurtful.

Not because the criticisms aren't valid, but because I didn't intend to upset anyone with my interpretation, nor did I write MY INTERPRETATION with anyone else's specific tastes in mind.

I adore receiving comments but for someone who already struggles to find the time/motivation to write, that shit's depressing, disheartening, and makes me never want to type another word as long as I live.

Nah, fam. It's not about "taking" criticism. It's about the fact that unless a writer asks for it specifically, it's a dick thing to do on a website that is rooted in community.

If a writer wants critique they will ask trusted friends or professional associates (in the relevant field). When a writer shares a fic on AO3 it's not necessarily with the aim of improving their craft (there are better places for that). It's about sharing joy.

Positive comments enhance that feeling of joy and community. Negative comments do not.

Fic isn't a product to be evaluated. If it's not for you, then you can just walk away. 😁
