and if you're lucky, it might even inspire them to write successful novels themselves! Like for example, "Expression of discontent towards the author", my favorite psychological romance action sci fi
Who told you about that? How do you know that title? Tell Shiro to leave me alone!
Posting every day is the only way I've been able to get readers. Taking a break, even if it's only for a day and because I feel like crap just seems like I'm disrespecting the people who have been supporting me the most. (Even if they don't actually support me and just want something to pass the time) However, I did have a small hiatus due to receiving fanart of my main heroine wider than she was tall and nude. It was the only fanart I ever received so I was proud but I didn't feel like writing anything for a week after.
Oh yeah. Sometimes I get complacent like that too. I get a few excited comments and I'm all, "eh i can afford to go dark for a while" then fuck off for weeks. Sometimes months. But I DO work on other stories in that time, so I'm not entirely idle.
I never received fanart, personally. I have received fanfiction tho. Mainly sex scenes between MC and his mom. Lol I remember a dude who made a fanfiction about the MC being in a Dead Space type of situation. And you know what? That whole thing was just a build up to some sex between him and a horde of Xenomorph babes.
Why? Cuz i once commented that I could see the MC on a space ship later on down the line, being kidnapped by aliens, then a few days later his companions blast open the doors to save him and only to see him clapping alien cheeks. As one does.
Anyway, the rant aside. Yeah. I guess that "inspired" the guy. But instead of just writing that one scene, he wrote a whole 9 to 12k word long chapter about it. The aforementioned sex scene only came like near the end lol.
I liked it, so I edited in the appropriate reactions and dialogue the MC would use cuz the guy said he didnt know how to write him the same way.
