taste – knitting in the dark

My friends, let me tell you a thing. If you open a fic to read and you don’t like it? You are under no obligation to read it.

If you’ve read all that author’s other fic and liked/loved it, but you open another and it’s just… bad for whatever reason? Love yourself and hit the backbutton.

You do not have to waste your precious minutes/hours reading a thing you cannot stand. Just exit stage left. No one is watching/no one is judging.

We’ve all been there!

Maybe it’s a highly recced fic, a fandom classic. Maybe it’s a new thing that sounded great in theory. Maybe you opened it up, giddy and excited only to plummet in despair because it just wasn’t good.

You. Don’t. Have. To. Read. It.

Not ever.

Back. Button. (Use it!)
