I'm not a fan of rants like these even though I totally understand the need to blow off steam about it.
I have comments from 100+ days ago helping me work on the final chapter for a fic that really is finished as it stands now. And I just! UGH! I haven't been able to get it done. It's been like four months. I have a WIP from last year that I really am meaning to get back to. But whenever I see comments like this it reminds me that most people expect a deadline on fics of a few weeks to maybe maybe a month.
It makes me worry that no one is going to care about my final chapter or care when I finally update and it just feels so shitty.
What's even worse is over at another kinkmeme I wrote a thing, got encouragement to write more of the thing along the lines of "update soon!". I wrote two more updates and dead. fucking. silence. It felt like those people just fucked off after a week of waiting and figured "oh, I guess this is abandoned."
ITS NOT FUCKING ABANDONED IM GETTING TO IT IM JUST BUSY GOD.
Yeah. I'm still tracking fills from the first kinkmeme page. I check up on what I filled to see if anyone's commented. You know, I look into this stuff. And yeah it's sad when I have so many tabs open in one of my windows that I can't see that swirly little dream width logo and NONE of them have updated but I'm not really that invested in it.
Object permanence I guess. Even when I check I don't care, but as soon as there is an update I'm ALL OVER IT.
