Great post.

Even if the person is a writer and can write, writing what you've written and reading what others have written is not the same thing.

Exactly. Sometimes it's nice to see others' interpretations of a favorite pairing, or a topic that's ripe for story ideas, or whatever.

I love your suggestions about how those who struggle to write can request the fic they want to see. I fully agree that kind of active participation and encouragement can be very helpful. Even if it doesn't produce a wealth of fic, at the very least, it can allow for more fans of a particular niche to come out of hiding and bond over something they like :).

Exactly. As a writer those are the things that make me want to write fic of the type people want. If someone is showing interest in a plot bunny or starting up the discussion with meta or shipping talk, it's much easier for me to hop on board and piggyback on their enthusiasm and start generating ideas, than with "I wish there were more fic of X."

I don't hold anything against people who wish for fic. There are fic types I wish for too. But purely on the advice giving front, "have you tried organizing a rarepair post? Maybe there are others who are interested in it too, you can at least find like minds" is a lot more helpful and encouraging than "write it yourself!"

Exactly. In fact, I will often pup up prompts of pairings I DO write, because I'd like to see somne else write them in X situation!
