#i write for me
me while writing very niche fanfic: there’s literally no way that, like, anyone is going to read this. you are writing this for you and you alone. you must accept it. you must be zen about it. you must expect nothing except the validation that comes of being able to go back and reread it yourself when you’re in the mood for this kind of fic.
me after posting said very niche fanfic: (obsessively checks ao3 every thirty seconds)
Man, I really want to write a James Aubrey (Bones) fic, cause that man is THE cinnamon roll and deserves all the happiness. But, I am almost convinced no one will read it and (as much as I like to say I write for myself) I need constant validation.
