( No Title )
If you don’t hear this often enough, I want you to hear it now.
Fiction helps people.
Fanfiction helps people.
Fandom helps people.
Fiction and fanfiction and fandom are not lazy or pointless.
You’re not a bad person for making fiction or fanfiction or just doing fandom when you think you ‘could be out there helping people’.
There are people who are alive now who genuinely would not be alive if it weren’t for that one book, or that one fanfic, or that one comment they got.
And don’t take this to mean only fluffy and happy fic, but this goes for whump, and smut, crackfic and everything else. You never know what will resonate with someone at the right moment.
Maybe it was your book, or your fanfiction or your comment that kept someone alive another night and you will never know.
But please, recognize that your fiction and your fanfiction and your fandom are valuable, and never a waste.
