YESSSSS. Agreed, This Pisses Me Off To No End. I Know That Everyone Is Trying To Help, But Really, Please

YESSSSS. Agreed, this pisses me off to no end. I know that everyone is trying to help, but really, please say something nice once and awhile.

HEY AUTHORS AND READERS OF FANFIC

First: to all the authors, how much do you hate people commenting grammar corrections?

And secondly to everyone:

Authors HATE reading people correct their mistakes.

As an author myself, I don’t edit my drabbles or works or one shots. Writing is my hobby it’s not my job.

I can’t vouch for everyone but I know that when you put a piece out there, you encourage constructive criticism. Like: I can’t wait to see this character more or, omg the feels. You enjoy reading how much this person liked your writing.

Now imagine how heart breaking it is to read “*their” as your first comment on that piece that you didn’t really put any effort into. It puts a bump in your Day a little. But you carry on and learn to live with it.

But then it persists. Now everyone is correcting your mistake on a Drabble you don’t care about.

Now you really don’t think anyone likes what you wrote, you get a few notes on it but it’s mostly corrections. Delete the post, no one likes it anyway.

Except some people did. Some people were too afraid to comment or too lazy so they liked and reblogged it because it made them cry. Or laugh, or happy, or you know what it made their day better because they were having a bad day.

Now the two or three people who loved it will never be able to read it again and laugh because the author assumed no one liked it, so they deleted the post. Those other people have ruined their day when they try looking back in their feed trying to find that one drabble that made their day. It’s gone now. Lost in the void.

Think before you comment, you might just ruin someone’s day. Try to be supportive of authors, their content they post on here is for EVERYONE it’s FREE they take no personal gain other than the nice sweet comments saying that they made someones day better.

This has been my reality check for everyone who thinks that they’re being silly by correcting people online.

REBLOG IF YOU ARE AN AUTHOR WHO FEELS THIS WAY OR A READER WHO LOVES WHAT AUTHORS DO AND APPRECIATES THEM
