are you not going to post skit threads in twitter anymore? will you upload them to ao3 or keep them as only threads in bluesky? i really like your writting but having more than one social media account to check is very tiring to me :c sorry if im being annoying about this, ill understand whatever you want to do
It's a fair question so it's definitely not annoying! I might be, though cus I will use your ask to try and address this whole dilemma so I also can share it with my other Twitter followers, lol.
I want to finish the threads I have started, so the arranged marriage thread and the soulmates thread will continue on Twitter (the latter is also on Bluesky). I'm not gonna lie, the thought of posting more on Twitter really irks me out, but I'm trying to tell myself that I'm putting too much weight on my own work 😅 I love writing the things I write, and the longer stories really do mean something to me, but at the same time it's not of any great literary value, lol, so I probably shouldn't treat it as something it's not. You just end up caring about the things you create, even if it's just porn LMAO.
Apart from that, I know that people are waiting to read those two stories and I have ended up preferring writing threads due to the interactions they create so I don't want to stop posting them. I love seeing reactions to specific posts and qoutes etc (it makes posting less lonely and more fun), and those are (precious but) few on Bluesky at the moment. They have dwindled significantly on Twitter, too, due to a few different reasons, which makes the possible transition feel easier - it's just that I would hate to leave you guys 😭
This is my biggest Twitter account to date so it feels really shitty to potentially having to abandon it and everyone who has supported my writing through it. I don't want to do that. I was looking forward to reaching 3k and excited to share the continuations to the thread fics but it doesn't feel as fun anymore.
Writing them is still just as fun, though, so even if I'd end up ditching socmed all together (HARDLY, lol, but if), I will always post on Ao3. It takes me a lot longer since it feels a bit ardous compared to threads, and the updates will most likely be slow, but I will always keep updating and posting there.
Regarding brand-new threads - I don't know if I will post them on Twitter. I think it will be hard for me not to, but I can't make any promises at the moment. We will have to wait and see. I'm at least not leaving Twitter right now. The emotional attachment is honestly too strong 😭 But I won't deny that I am trying to mentally prepare myself for leaving. I just can't yet, so I will stay until my mind is absolutely made up. Until then, I will keep going and see what happens, and I'm glad if you'll stick around and find out with me 💗
tldr; I'm not leaving Twitter yet. I will continue to update the two ongoing threads, but I don't know if I will post any new ones - we'll have to wait and see about that. Until I've made up my mind, I will use both platforms. Thanks for your patience while I figure things out 💗
