Give up?

I sometimes wonder if I should just give up on writing fanfics. I really do enjoy writing but I get so bummed or sad when I see not many have commented or subscribed. It makes me worry that I'm putting too much energy into something that others won't appreciate. Idk if its because everyone is writing on different platforms or such. Idk. But I would like to keep writing. Maybe I should try uploading here and other fanfic sites? Sigh, idk anymore.

I haven't commented on your story that I have read regarding Kibum as a kitty, but I do like it. I'll try to comment more often and I don't expect you anything from you in return if you decide not to continue writing because you're feeling down. I do hope you enjoy the gold status gift. I'm not exactly sure what it does but I hope it brings you some joy.

Feel you, but don't give up. You say you really like writing so don't stop if it's something you like doing. It's good to have feedback and makes you feel unappreciated when there are no comments but if its something you like, do it.
I think many people do write in other websites. I opened some accounts in others to try out but honestly this one seems like one of the best. I didn't get many feedback on others too so end up stopping updating there and focusing on here instead. But I think you should try. You might like them more.
Good luck!

I feel exactly the same with my stories and honestly it is a horrible feeling but you have to think about th pro’s. You enjoy writing it’s not something you should give up because people aren’t noticing. In order to achieve you must have some hiccups or fails along the way. My friend told me this, so I write for myself and for those readers who are still with me because one day I’ll look back and be proud I stuck with it.

Don't let it get you down. You are doing a good job and your writing style is very good. People will be people, some will comment, others won't. Some will like it and others won't.

It's all normal, but that is not a reason to give up. Continue, keep your motivation and do what you love.

I don't think you should give up since you would like to keep on writing. Maybe you can try to advertise your story or post your work in different platforms . I think what matters is to enjoy the process . I hope that things get better for you. Always follow your heart and passion it will guide you

Hello my friend! I feel bad that you're feeling that way and I can recommend maybe using AO3 or maybe Wattpad. I have an AO3 and I just sent an invitation to someone because you need to be "invited" (it's kind of odd but oh well) and you can see the attention you might get on that website - I can totes help you out with that. I haven't had a Wattpad in some time but you can try that too.

I know that feeling of not getting the attention you want. When one of my stories wasn't I uploaded it on AO3 and I got more attention over there than I did here.

I don't think you should give up writing though. I actually have one of your stories on my labels to read and I'll check them out soon so I can give you feedback I was really interested in checking out Kitty Dearest because I love me some jongkey. It can discourage you though and I totally understand, but you just gotta keep going I mean you're doing what you love (writing) and that's what matters. Keep writing for those people who are going to love the stories you write - advice I was told long ago
