Yes, this, absolutely. I write plot-heavy long!fics in a fandom dominated by a crack pairing that the shippers love to write as fluffy even though both characters are extremely fucked up and dubiously moral. I frequently think about quitting because I haven't made a single friend in the fandom and the hours and hours I've spent crafting my stories don't matter to anyone except me. Which, I know, whine moar, anon, but writing is such lonely business and I am so full of Thoughts! and Feels! and they just all stay bottled up inside. Plus, writing fanfiction is such a socially unacceptable activity that I often kind of wonder if my level of interest is a manifestation of my mental health problems.

The biggest reason I continue is that my husband and this one random girl on the internet read my fics religiously. She doesn't talk much - I've tried to engage her in conversation a couple of times and she doesn't really respond - but she's left me some really flattering comments that help me feel like maybe I'm not crazy and this does have some small meaning.

So, random fic-readers on the internet, know that you are important, and you have it in your power to make a lonely writer very happy.
