hi everyone! so i hope you all know plagiarism is not a joke, so i'd just like to bring your attention to @genshinblrsbestpart, who has copied one of my works (how they say i love you 1) as well as other people's works who i recognise claiming it is their writing. if you see this please let others know and report them thank you :)

I do! I've used up all of my brain juice to design four Genshin OCs though, so the only twst OC I'm ready to show is a self-insert boy- He's not drawn in the NRC uniform unfortunately, he's still wearing his butler uniform 🧎

His name is Viorel Fairbairn~ I forgot which dorm he belongs to UH I think it was Heartslabyul?? And his UM is Rule Breaker HAHA

As a writer I wanted to ask if numbers (specifically likes or reblogs) matter to you? I want to start posting on Tumblr (reader-inserts for TWST too) but I'm scared I'll end up getting demotivated due to a lack of traction :( I know people say to just write for yourself but what would the point of posting it be then? I just wanted to know your opinion on this.

Oh my answer is going to be a little lengthy! I'll be answering this based on my own perceptions so it's totally fine if people think differently than me :>

Short answer: mostly yes, and i don't think it's a bad thing to care about numbers 😌 but dont let it consume you and as much as possible try not to let it discourage you from writing what you want!

Long answer: Personally, above all, feedback matters to me the most! Hearing what people think/if people enjoyed my fics is much more important that seeing numbers go up.

However in most cases feedback does count towards the numbers— other than feedback through asks, feedback tends to come in the form of reblogs (both reblog in text and tags) or in replies on Tumblr, which contribute to the notes count. Plus, because the tagging system isn't always... working, reblogs, which also contribute to notes and therefore numbers, are incredibly important in getting your work out there, thus getting feedback, which in turn usually gives fic writers the motivation to keep writing and posting. Likes, well, don't really do anything to get your stuff out there even though your notes will mostly be comprised of likes, but they're kind of cute to see, especially when it's a name you recognize like a "it's you again!" or a "wait that's someone i follow they liked something i wrote?"

Plus, I'm just a really big fan of looking at numbers, which is why I said my perception might be different. I like math and love statistics, so it's kind of satisfying seeing something go from 8 notes to a hundred.

Still, I honestly think the TWST community (even with some bad apples) has a lot of very supportive people when it comes to writers, who love giving writers attention, especially newer blogs. The community isn't perfect but it's a community consistently growing and a community that can never get enough of content, so there's always room for more fic writers, and artists in general, you know?

I think it never hurts to at least try and dip your toes in writing and posting! See I think the key thing when people connect writing for yourself to not caring about the numbers is to actually write for yourself and at your own pace? In my years of experience writing there were a few things that got me to stop. The first was just losing interest in the fandom, it's normal and it's okay, the second is lack of feedback, which if you've put out work you're happy enough to post it's on the audience's part to provide it, and the third is burnout from requests.

The thing is when you get requests, you work on it and there's this added pressure of getting it out quickly and making sure it has to be good enough for others to like it and not just yourself, and then if it gets little feedback and numbers, it feels like a double whammy? basically awful. of course writing for yourself doesn't mean never take requests, go for it especially if it's something that motivates you and you enjoy! but what i'm saying is try not to be too harsh or give yourself too much pressure so you enjoy the writing process and you have less regrets overall...

and well, sometimes you just have writing slumps and that's normal. If you ever encounter it I promise there's no harm in taking a break, maybe do other things until you find the motivation to write again. Most people do not have the motivation to pump out fics regularly without pause and you shouldn't pressure yourself to do the same! Some days you'll probably find yourself writing a lot and some none at all and that's normal!

Anyway this post is getting long haha but yeah, I think just find a healthy balance— it's okay to care about the numbers but try not to stress too much over it, try your hand at posting, and if you do find yourself demotivated then remember to take appropriate measures whether it's to take a hiatus or writing for a different fandom or whatever you need to do

Plus, you know, general reminder that many writers leave due to lack of reblogs replies and feedback in general, and seeing people leave might discourage others from even starting, so as much as possible show your writers love even if it's just an ask 💖

Wouldn't trade you for the world either, Alice! You're the sweetest angel and demon I've ever met 🥺❤

Super weird question but how did you meet your mutuals online? could be offline too.

Let me tell you a story about “How I met my mutuals” then uwu)~

I know @daily-scarabia and @daily-diasomnia in real life because they were my classmates from high school. They’ve stuck by my side throughout the years, and although we often tear at each other’s throats, we love each other /p all the same. We are the Sebek to each other’s Malleus LOL

My first Tumblr friends are @kreidenprinz-imagines, @unknown-aisling, @prince-les and @promisedvictories. I met them while I was still writing for Identity V back then (I used to have a blog called identityvarchives), and they’re honestly the kindest and sweetest people ever. We hit it off when we started chatting with each other in the discord server I made (it was public at first but it eventually became a close friends type of server), and I wouldn’t trade them for the world.

Then I left Identity V permanently (so long toxic fandom-) and entered the Genshin fandom. @melkxsh, @istannorcas, @lesmouche and @hvrbinqer are the people I got close with while I was happily producing stories every day, and if it wasn’t for their existence, I wouldn’t have enjoyed my time as a Genshin writer (I still like writing for Genshin but my motivation is elsewhere at the moment-).

And now, my Twisted Wonderland era. I’ve made so many wonderful friends here:

@yu-shi-lost-in-wonderland - my first friend in the twst fandom (and the one who helped me get comfortable). She sent in asks while I was still a new twst writing blog, and from there, we just started talking to each other more often and found out that we’re fellow introverts who like to take our time in responding to messages. We’re similar in a lot of ways, and I consider her as a sister <3

@fr0st-km + @sinsinrants - these two came as one package, and I followed them back when I discovered that they’re both Indonesian- As soon as I became friends with Frosty, I also became friends with Crayon Sin XD The amount of times they’ve made me laugh with their shenanigans on the dashboard, and the amount of times Crayon Sin has made me lose braincells because of the Indonesian memes they’d tag both of us in...

@blossomized-loveshow + @twistedlovenotes - another pair that came as one package. They were already friends with each other from the start, so I snatched both of them up when Nae approached me in my dms because of the Haniwa songs I used for the Ace hcs with a J-POP idol fem!S/O. They’re my cute babies who I will protect with my mama bear paws <3

@nanamisflowerfield - I accidentally discovered Nana while I was going through my followers list (I have the notif for new followers turned off) and recognised her URL. Checked out her blog, saw that she writes for Genshin and twst (and that she plays Tales of Luminaria-), and hit the follow button. I’ve sent her a few asks before and the way she responds never fails to make me smile >w<)/

@lovelettersforganyu - Silver simp (future Ayato simp). We bonded through our love for Silver, and also because she approached me via discord. I like flustering her using my Jamil bot because the way she goes absolutely bonkers is hilarious :DD

@glamorousruins - Ruin is one of my early followers. I’ve had my eye on him for the longest time because of his blog title “Riddle’s Personal Foot Stool” (also bestie your game desc... “foot stool mode activated”...). It had me laughing for hours, but I was slightly intimidated by his Riddle pfp for some reason (IT WASN’T EVEN THE SCARY ONE. IT WAS RIDDLE SMILING BUT IDK I WAS LIKE “I wanna talk to him but-”). We only started talking in dms and became mutuals recently, and his loose hair Sebek doodle had me simping for the tsundere crocodile for days.

@glass-cage-of-emotion-12 - AURIEEEEEEE is also one of my early followers! I didn’t know they had a writing blog until recently so I’d say she’s one of my newer mutuals. Although we’ve only interacted a little, they’ve been nothing but kind and supportive to me. My eyes also popped out of their sockets when I found out that they live in Malaysia, because that’s where I grew up.

@twstedtales - Apparently, she found me through my Genshin story “The Beginning” on Quotev (it’s also posted on my other socials, including Tumblr), and traced me back to my blogs which she follows. I happened to be looking through my followers list again (I do this once every blue moon so it was lucky timing-) and saw her. I immediately recognised her URL so I followed back LOL and BAM we mutuals~

@floral-poisons - Apparently, they’ve been following me with their main blog and I just wasn’t aware lmao- We recently became mutuals because I found them through one of Lyza’s posts! They’re super friendly and their headcanons are fun to read through~

@woven-dreams - My newest mutual. A Malleus simp. She may be cool and collected with her responses, but in dms she’s basically Floyd v2. I first met her through an ask she sent in after I posted my 1k special one-shot, and we just hit it off from there XD

Note that I didn’t mention ALL of my mutuals because some of them are following my Genshin blog only/I haven’t really spoken to them enough >w>

Extra note: I know, there's going to be people under 18 following me, when they shouldn't. I did that too. I was like 14 when I started reading/ watching messed up stuff with a false account, but please, for the love of god, be mindful and respect my rules.
