She was told this particular stylist is heavily in-demand, booked solidly for months in advance, but all she had to do was name-drop Indra and the salon would magically find the time to squeeze her in.
Or:
Lexa is a hair stylist and Clarke gets turned on at the salon.
happy fanfic writer appreciation day to EVERYONE who has ever posted a fic, tried to write a fic, wanted to write a fic but didn’t think your writing was “good enough” to be shared (between you and me, it is!!!) because ALL of you make this fandom better with your creativity and beautiful words, whether you know it or not. thank you!!!!!!!!!! ❣️❣️❣️
Comments on erotica are so funny because a lot of the people in those sections are trying to compliment the author without directly saying “awesome job, I jacked it to this!”
want your favorite author to update but don’t want to be too pushy in their comment section?
here’s 5 things you can do to encourage them:
Reblog their fic link on tumblr (bonus if it’s with tags)
Bookmark the fic with a note about what you’re excited about/love in the fic
Recommend the fic to your friends or local discord channel
Draw art or create other media for the fic (as indicated by the author’s comfort level)
Leave them a comment when re-reading about the parts of the chapter/story that stood out to you the second time
Seriously, guys, the cheer leading does help. Sometimes the only thing that gets the next chapter out is “I’m gonna do this for starfleetlinkuei69! ;_;”
For the record, this also applies to people who don’t post WIPs. When I am deciding which of my various stories to work on, it’s part vibes and part “What will make my Consistent Commenters happy?”
