Rant from a very angry (and on the brink of tears) writer

starscreamloki:

Monday everything went to hell on this site and the effects hit me mercilessly.

I posted a teaser for one of my fics on monday (yes, we writers are depended on promotion) and it got buried underneath the new guidelines of Tumblr and everyone freaking out. Thus, I didn’t get said exposure I needed, but I’m a strong writer, so I can handle one day of fuckery!

Tuesday I posted a new chapter of one of my fics and I was still experiencing the after-effects from Monday. (I don’t blame you people, keep on ranting and posting about this shitty NFSW-rule, I do so too.)

Then Wednesday came, and everything seemed calmed down and I was feeling motivated again to post another chapter of my fic. And then, suddenly, everyone was experiencing ghost-posts/blog-flu/whatever-shit-went-down-now! And AGAIN my post with my fic got buried underneath everything else! On top of the tagging system breaking again, and people probably not getting the notes when I tagged them.

Now it’s Thursday and tonight I want to post a chapter on a fic I’m extremely PROUD of, yet, my self-esteem and motivation as a writer are heavily depended on the likes and comments of others.

Tumblr @staff, I beg of you, for the love of whatever deity you worship, for one damn day (preferably more) DON’T FUCK THIS UP!

I need the exposure, I need the validation!

Because really, you’re ruthlessly KILLING a writer in the most cruel way!
