I will say I care less when a fic I love flops (I’ve had plenty of them that have) but it deeply pains me when I write something that’s I really love, something poignant and full of my own sadness and people actually like im such a morally bad person for writing a sad fic
This is dumb and vulnerable and I may regret asking and delete, but here goes anyway: fic writers, how do you deal with the heartbreak of having a project you were very excited about absolutely flopping? I had a bunch more planned & written. I can’t bring myself to open the doc
