I have so many fics that I’ve written for myself and my own entertainment (most are unfinished). Should I start posting them? More specifically, do y’all find that it helps with writing block?

personally, yes. Sometimes I lose motivation when I’m the only one reading my stories and it helps when I get comments from readers. There’s even been times when I got a comment on a fic I abandoned and it’ll motivate me to finish it 😭

idk for me my personal story is a massive crossover that ik will have a small audience, and i know tying my motivation to finish it to readers/commenters will only diminish my motivation. but for other non crossover fics i post them bc i wouldnt have the motivation to write them at all without posting them. depends ig!

Yay, that’s awesome and I’m proud of you! Once I gain the courage I just might do that
