it sounds obvious to 99% of writers, but i’ve seen a couple of instances now where it’s not made completely clear to people that yes you can make fanart! all the fanart! and post it! so here’s a psa: go for it

Oh God, yes!

Fan art is awesome!

It is my dream.

i’d self-combust from excitement.

Loo and then Rupert came to Artist Alley just to say hi to me ❤ How is this my life???

I’m literally writing Loo a note when I look up and see her in front of me! She says hi and shakes my hand and introduces herself (lol as if I didn’t know). Loo insisted on buying a “We Can Do It” shirt even though I had planned to give her one. She also saw my Sherlolly Shirt and I did the full Ask Me About My Ship demo (“So, ask me about my ship! And then I do the flash reveal) and so she got to see the Johnlock too. She thought it was funny and cute.

THEN RUPERT comes in not 20 mins later, sees that I’m with a customer and INSISTS on waiting until my customers are done, even though they were happy to step aside so that he can say hi to me. SO HE STANDS AT THE DOORWAY AND WAITS FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES and I’m going nuts knowing he’s right there and he’s there specifically to see me. THEN when I finish the transaction he comes to me, shakes my hand, and says he got “my message.” I MEAN other people have told him to come see my table and I was like UH here’s a shirt for your wife. (A few weeks ago I communicated with her via @gravesdiggers and she had asked for a Lestrade shirt when I offered, and I was going to hand it to her when I run into her during the Con). I tell him “It’s a shirt with your face on it” and he goes “the last person who needs a shirt with my face on it is her!” 😂😂 So I tell him it’s for the times he’s gone on a shoot 😂😂 He thanks me and makes sure that I actually want to give him one (yes!! Enthusiastically!!). I ask him if HE wants a shirt and he’s like NOPE 😂😂

I AM SHAKING AND CRYING

AHHHHHH I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ 

If you’re a creator and you needed to hear this today:

You have no idea how many people lurk on your work. No idea how many times people go back to revisit your work. How big they smile when they simply think about your work. How fast their heart beats, how excited they get when they see that you posted something.

People are shy with their feedback. Sometimes it’s because they’re simply shy. Other times it’s because they assume you already know how great and talented you are. Could be both.

My point is, even if you barely have any likes or reblogs, don’t get discouraged. You have a lot of silent fans, but they are still your fans. Keep on creating. Because there is always someone out there who will love what you have made.
