Why Authors Should Respond To Fan Mails?
Storizen|September 2022
It takes courage to write emails and snail mails to your favorite authors. But, it can be really disheartening to never receive a response from them. Right? So, let’s talk about some of the reasons why every author should respond to the fan mails they receive.

Why Authors Should Respond To Fan Mails?

The times are tough. Especially after the COVID-19 Pandemic, it seems like everybody needs a shoulder and people have thousands of battles to fight. Every once in a while, a book in your hands, with a cup of tea and some almonds on the side, sounds just perfect for a light reading session more like a self-care session.

But sometimes, you also need someone to talk to about the book you’re reading. To ask - the person who came up with that story questions about why the character did what they did, what happened to the ones left behind, what year they died in, and what names they ended up giving their children.

Remember The Fault In Our Stars, where Hazel Grace wanted the answers to so many questions after reading An Imperial Affliction (the imaginary novel)? But even if it isn’t for answering some questions, it always feels grand to compliment a writer on what they’ve written, and sometimes, you just want to send them presents and make them feel special for what they wrote for everyone, for you. And that is why there exist ‘fan mails’ in the form of ‘emails’ or ‘snail mails’ - a path so many readers choose because they’re now ‘fans of their favorite author.

WHY READERS WRITE TO AUTHORS IN THE FIRST PLACE

Everybody likes validation of some or the other kind. I hate to admit it, but I do too. When you write a secret letter or even an ‘open letter to your favorite writer, you feel you’re sharing a part of yourself that needs discussion. Moreover, you feel like a writer yourself. Of course, it’s not ‘pivotal’ for a writer to respond, but wouldn’t it be perfect, in a perfect world, where there are flying cars, a real Hogwarts, and a white owl brings you letters - replies from your ideals that you had always been waiting for?

A SHORT WALK ON THE MEMORY LANE

Nostalgia is both an ache and a draught, a draught more aptly as it provides the required energy to the wistful heart and patiently remains one’s undeterred friend during lonesome times and even transporting one to the blissful world of memories far away from the tension-ridden beguiling present.

Wandering Into the Nostalgic Lane to Seal a Promise

Distantly, what caught their breadth was the seraphic view of snow-capped Himalayas at the backdrops, partially covered in the thin blanket of white clouds. The air was crisp with a hint of Nostalgia as the sound of the nearby streams whispered tales of their past.
