Change your writing style = popular?

WARNING: I'M GOING TO RANT TO MAKE MYSELF FEEL BETTER SO DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MOOD.

 

I can't believe someone (a few to be exact) actually has to audacity to ask me to change my writing style just because I ain't writing those cutesy stuff. *pukes* She said it was for my own good if I want my stories to get featured and if wanna be popular and climb up the rank of the popular author list.

Hello? Does it look like I really care about that? Why the fish would I want to change my style of writing just so I can be popular? That's just bull. I write what I want. I write because I feel like it. I write my freaking characters the way I want and the style I love because heck, it's MY story. If you don't want to read it then don't. No one is pointing a gun to your head and forcing you to read it. 

Writing is about expressing yourself in a different way. I like my stories to be fun as in adventure fun. Not all those cutesy stuff like being in high schools and dates and crying when a couple fights but get back together like nothing happened. (No offense there) That's just not me. It's true that having your story featured is like every author's dream here in AFF. But why do so if what you are writing is not expressing the real you? Then that won't be wriitng. It would be acting. 

I love every reader I have, whether it is just a handful or by the thousands. I appreciate every comment and upvote and that the fact that my fics were featured somehow. My readers love me for my writing style and I'm not going to change that about me. So leaveeeeee. Don't bother me anymore. Since you want me to write cutesy stuff then go do it yourself. Don't drag me into it.

P.S sorry for the rant. I'm pissed and tired from school.

P.P.S recommend me any awesome fic, anyone? ^^

I love your natural style ._. I'm tired of the cheesy fluffy fic. I need something more classy, like yours

As soon as I read the title, I knew what the topic would be. Like for real, I think so many write stuff like that just for the sake of being 'popular'. I will not be a hypocrite and try to say that I've never thought about doing so, however, I'm glad that I didn't . I believe that it's really lame to write just so that you can be regarded as 'famous'; of course receiving comments and subscribers is pleasant, but that shouldn't be the priority for any (passionate) writer.

i think that it's great that you already know that you shouldn't need to change yourself and your expression for popularity bc I know a lot of people who would.

you said that you weren't a fluffy type of person so this one deals with a lot of angst but it isn't an aff so idk if that's okay with you

I think writing style should come naturally. It can take years to build up a solid writing style, so don't let anyone pressure you!
