You Should Write The Most Niche, Indulgent Fiction That Appeals To You Specifically, Because It Will

You should write the most niche, indulgent fiction that appeals to you specifically, because it will be much more artistically authentic and valuable than corporate slop that has been focus tested to death to appeal to the widest audience possible.

Write for yourself and you will always be making authentic art that has an uncompromised vision, and you will gain an audience that appreciates that.

"Does it scare you? The thought of being your unapologetic self? Living without the shame of being attracted to men? Of wanting me? Of kissing me again? Are you that much of a bloody coward-”

Sirius couldn’t bear it anymore. He made an animalistic sound in the back of his throat, the heat swallowing him whole, crossing every boundary he’d set for himself, and before he knew it, he’d yanked the pirate towards him and kissed him, because he needed him to shut up and, oh - oh.

I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter

I’m begging you to write for yourself.

“But readers don’t like—“ who cares?

The only reader of your story that you should care about is yourself.

Do you like your story? Yes? Then it’s perfect.
