Idk if this is sth the ff people actually talk about:
The way I grew up, pride in anything has always been shameful. Unless you've achieved sth truly extraordinary you haven't earned pride.

It hit me the first time @whalexander.bsky.social told me he was proud of me for the comfort

Fanfiction-wise my first exchanges, a private one with @8mikel3.bsky.social, and in the @hqfe.bsky.social April event. (both featuring #hqrareships for which I wrote my first fic)
Also, my first festa.

Also shamelessly enjoyed art made on Aran's birthday (↓).

I'm one of those ppl who would comment “I enjoyed reading this” or “that character doing so-and-so was fun to read” or “that dialogue was fun to read” or “there should be more fics with this specific interpretation of this character” and I've been told by some authors they actually
Time flies when you're having fun 😉

Our last question focuses on "protection". What are your commenting 101 tips? What should we focus on, and stray away from, when leaving comments? Writers: what makes your day when you get that notification email? #ff_FESTAchat

cw: death

Writer's Block is what got me into ff writing, but it was for external reasons. There hasn't been any improvement on that part since I published my first ff chapter, starting “only” by the death/murder of my childhood friend.

Still writing my first fanfiction (220k+ words).

I'm told that I'm good at humor and that makes me happy! 😀

Personally I think structure comes easy for me, lots of pantsers talk about how they get lost or can't find an ending but that's never been a problem so far for me so I'm really glad about that! #ff_festachat

Lastly, if I'm stuck in the middle of a story, usually it's because something is off. The POV, the characters, the plot... and I'm subconsciously picking on it

In that case the only solution is take a step back, identify what is not working and fix it. Betas help a lot with this! 3/3 #ff_festachat

Second, if I do want to write but the words aren't flowing, there can be a couple of reasons

I've spent time without writing and it may seem silly but practice is a factor in every skill so I just... write something, even if it's bad, just start. Tomorrow it'll be better and so on 2/3 #ff_festachat

Oof. I'm about to monologue here 😂

First of all, something that I find difficult to come to terms with: Why do I want to write? Do I have a story or do I just feel like a failure if I'm not hitting X words per day? Because if it's the second... I'm allowed to rest and that's fine 1/3 #ff_festachat
May 25, 2026 at 2:52 PM
I've never thought of it, it doesn't happen a lot, but I guess when it happens the good stuff outgrows it so I just... vent in private to shake it off and then keep going with my life #ff_festachat

my weakness is prob grammar. idk where punctuation TRULY needs to be at, it's all a vibe, both visually and auditorily (is this a real word? it is now)

and personally... i think i can be funny sometimes, i've had a 50-50 positive reaction rate, so maybe i am...sometimes funny 🤭⬇️

If I'm lucky, I'll only get them once a year! If I'm luckier, it'll only last a few weeks. If I'm not...well, when am I not in writer's block mode 😆 Mostly I've learned to accept that having writer's block isn't a bad thing. But I always feel the most motivated when I research and/or

I also join spaces that I know are about positivity 🫶 I'm not in many servers but I think the few I'm in really are so amazing and supportive!

This is something I've learned from the community: deleting comments is ok! Whenever I get a sus/ bad comment I'll kind of stew over it for a few days bc idk how to react ;-; but I've seen my fellow writers curate their space and now I do that a bit more too, gotta protect my wrinkles

🌸Today's chat will have a slightly more serious tone because writing isn't always "fun". (Even though it should be!)

I've been both tired and really happy?? 😆 I've had so much fun reading fics with everyone, and I've also been doing some fun things irl 💕 like doodling and going out with friends 🫶 I just need better social stamina I think LOL #ff_festachat
🌸We'll be starting today's chat shortly! In the meantime, how has your May been so far?

The Haikyuu fans here on Bluesky are my first fandom experience, beside a specific WoT group. So, I'm a fandom baby.

@whalexander.bsky.social should suffer as my fandom bestie
@scorpergastly.bsky.social is the innocence I'm corrupting
@strawberrylaugh.bsky.social my sprint buddy
💚As you can see, our questions today are based around the flowers we've recently unlocked! Q2 is a daisy, which can represent platonic love

🐝We want to know: What do you love about fandom and fandom communities?

(hope I'm not too late #ff_FESTAchat)

Going by my ao3 publishes, I write friendships and food into my stories. When I started ff writing, the friend who'd convinced me to do so made a 2-year contract with me not to post anything with bad endings (open or neutral are OK) and that'll be over soon.

🌸We hope everyone is enjoying the FESTA so far. Since it's our first chat this round, let's introduce ourselves~

Yep I basically avoid publishing any theories or opinions about the fandoms I'm in because sometimes random people reply in a confrontational tone, saying you're wrong for saying this or that instead of kindly disagreeing.

I don't have the energy so I just repost stuff and write fics. #ff_festachat
May 17, 2026 at 5:30 AM
There are lots of fics I love, but I think the one I've read more times is "It's Nice Being An Avenger".

I just love Foggy being an amazing friend and trolling Matt at the same time 😂💕 It's literally my comfort fic. #ff_festachat

It's not exactly new since I used to do it 10 years ago but I started going to Japanese lessons! It's super fun, I love learning a new language 💕

And obviously I'm taking part in the festa for the first time! 😄

As for my own writing, it's hard to feel proud of anything right now, but I guess I'm somewhat happy w the humor in my fics? And sometimes I challenge myself to write something I'm not familiar with. Idk how well it comes out, but I like how it makes my brain cogs rumble xD
