Stealing your heart won the vote! Gonna try to have both updates out by Saturday :) Also, I just got my first hater on AO3 and therefore I feel the need to post a reminder that fanfic authors do this for free. The correct ettiquette when you do not enjoy a fic is to leave it and move on. You don't have to announce your dislike, and it is in fact very rude. I am luckily in a place where I am somewhat confident in my writing in general, but there are plenty of others who aren't--and receiving negative feedback can be really destructive. And for those who believe it's constructive criticism: it's not constructive unless the author asks for it, and even then, you should be able to come up with some positive things to say too. There is no excuse to not be following this etiquette. Fanfic is a free service being provided out of writers' passion. Do not diminish that passion for the sake of announcing an opinion the author did not ask for.

Soo needed to be said! I haven’t had that much hate online over art or writing but it’s a consistent reminder needed by myself when I stress over writing or making art lol
