i’ve been writing a fic and it’s the first one I’ve posted but having people look forward to the next chapter and hearing ppl mention my fic has made me nervous to keep posting (even though I’ve only gotten positive reception), do you have any advice? ;-;

Hey anon! I definitely get how you’re feeling. I’m honestly blown away by how many p5 fans read my little stories, and it honestly gets intimidating sometimes. Towards the end of Daredevil, I was really scared that I was going to blow the ending and let people down. So know that you aren’t alone! For me, it’s just a mental game to combat that stress. Writing fic should be for you, first and foremost! If you’re too worried about how something will be received, try holding off a bit before posting something so you can sit back and be proud of your work and share it when you’re ready. Or, something I often do is send my fics to a trusted friend and get their encouragement before I put my work out there! Feelings on anxiety never quite go away for me, but I hope one of these tips can help you out!
