Fanfiction is awesome because you can watch your otp fall in love a thousands times , in a thousand different ways

Unless your otp is a rare pair, in which case you can watch them fall in love six times, in six different ways.

And you wrote four of them.

So everyone knows the struggle of shipping a rarepair and having a very limited amount of fic or art devoted to them – if you’re lucky, since some have none.

But I just wanted to do a quick shoutout to the writers and artists who devote time to these otps- because often your work won’t get enough attention to feel truly validated. Your work may never get the hits/kudos/reblogs/comments a more popular pairing will, but don’t despair- someone out there is happy because you did the thing, and honestly? If you’re happy you did the thing, then keep doing the thing.

Thank you for the time and effort you put into the ships no one talks about. You’re amazing and don’t forget it.

Sincerely, another writer stuck in rarepair hell
