Better to put it on RPC or some other horror writing site. Even some random jagoff short story subreddit would be better than slapping it on SCP.
Actually being able to comply with a standard format and style is a writing skill. If you ever actually make money writing things, it will more often than not be part of a larger effort, like technical writing, or writing within a franchise, or writing copy for some publication, than writing your own entirely independent work, because that is where most of the money is. Even when you are writing your own self-chosen work, much writing is in some form of genre fiction, where you have an audience with specific (and often autistic) tastes, and need to please that audience. You should probably choose something you would like to read yourself and where you don't actually hate the readers, so you can please yourself as well as the audience, but it is a rare writer who gets to write exactly what he wants and still make a living.
I don't think that works anymore, not unless you want to LARP as a queer too. And you have to weigh whether you prefer profiting from lunatics or keeping your soul.
You know who creates art purely for themselves? Serial killers. Serial killers and maybe hobos when they smear shit all over their hovels. Art is like a tree falling in a forest, if there's no-one around to see it then it may as well never have happened.
Well, on the bright side “queer” has basically lost all meaning in modern times. And the majority of consumers of LGBT+ fiction are straight women anyway.
Fucking what?
Art should be made for yourself first and foremost, but unless there exists some kind of audience - any kind of audience - you're basically just indulging in your own schizophrenia. There's no growth without an other to react to your art and it exists to no one but you. There's a narcissism in being utterly possessed by the validity you get from phoney online popularity and praise for something which you've created, but there's also an equal narcissism in creating things purely for yourself.
Yes, artists.
Yeah I think I might've gotten you confused with someone else on that one now that I look, sorry about that. Error on my part.
Did you really just insert yourself into an ambiguous statement and make it about you?
Creative works don’t exist for the benefit of pedants and second-guessers.
Art by committee is the worst experience on earth.
Who's doing that?This series of posts is exactly why this thread shouldn't be on community watch. Random ass people joining in and contributing nothing but assmad shitposts
Probably the guy that just said only psychopaths make art for themselves.
I lose track of who's new in the thread because it always seems like the same 20-30 people here, I never really notice lol.
