Been trying something new with my coffee this fall.
It’s September aka Pumpkin Spice season so IM BRINGIN IT BACK. Except it got brought back in like July because ya’ll are nuts.
what the fuck is wrong with u people if a person wants to wear a grandpa sweater and a flowercrown while drinking a pumpkin spice latte fucking let them live their life the last thing they probably need is your broke judgmental ass giving them hella negative vibes cause you don’t like their life choices bye
So this weekend I found myself chatting with an established comic writer, he asked me about my interest in the matter and I told him I ran a webcomic but before he could even respond I qualified it with;
“Well it’s a fan comic, I’m not a real comic creator.” He was appalled.
“What do you mean you’re not a real comic creator?” He demanded. “Do you have a comic?”
“Well yeah but its a fan comic its not a real-” He literally put his hand on my shoulder to stop me.
“You have a comic. You made a comic. You’re putting in the work. You’re a real comic creator.” He told me about how one of the people he works with on a comic started by writing Mass Effect fanfiction even. I’ve been thinking about that ever since.
I’ve thought about how many times I’ve heard myself and other say things like, “Oh, I’m a writer but I write fanfiction not like real writing.” And thats so bullshit, he was right.
If you write you’re a writer, end of story.
To all the fanfic writers and artist out there…hear this!!! What you do is art and is real and you are important, loved, and appreciated. Don’t let any douchebag, dickwad tell you otherwise!!!
Fanfic, fanart, fancomics….doesn’t matter. You’re a writer, you’re an artist, no matter where your inspiration comes from.
I had much the same conversation with a novelist who came to my highschool. He pulled me aside after his lecture and asked me what I wrote. He said he could tell I was a writer because of the questions I asked him.
Much like OP I responded “Just fanfiction.”
It’s been more than a few years since then so I can’t remember his exact words, but the gist of his response was this: YOU’RE STILL CREATING. Writing for a thing you enjoy doesn’t devalue that, and don’t let anyone tell you that it does.
Like OP said, “if you write you’re a writer, end of story.”
its january 10 and ive given up pretty much all hope of using my starbucks planner as a planner so here are some sketches from twitter! click through for captions
