The Endless Appetite for Fanfiction — Fansplaining

In 2024, everyone wanted a piece of fic, from AI grifters to traditional publishers to ravenous audiences. Where did that leave the people w

In a normal year, @flourish & I would have made a list of five big fandom trends for our annual "Year in Fandom" round-up. But the podcast is on hiatus, and I was left with MANY THOUGHTS about fanfiction seeming to break containment this year and nowhere to put them. So this is a "Year in Fandom" segment of sorts, about a set of related fanfiction trends that I'm pretty unhappy about!

I get that sense that a lot of fandom folks are, like me, worried about the way the ground seems to be shifting beneath us: in meta after meta, I’ve seen frustration over a larger but increasingly passive fic readership; dismay that traditional publishing has a growing influence over a practice that partly exists in opposition to it; and anger that some guy can just copy-paste your work and charge money for it, and no one outside of fandom seems to care.

What happens when fanfiction scales—but participatory fan communities do not? Read or listen to an audio version via the link above!

🪭 Always on point.

I highly recommend you guys listen and/or read this piece. As a writer and someone who's been in fandom for over a decade, the points brought up resonate very heavily with me.

It talks of fandom consumerism, the destigmatization of fanfiction and how since then, mainstream actors along with AI has been trying to monetize fandom, booktok's role, readers's roles, how culture around fandom has shifted, and more. Good read.

Just some suitless!Vader as Emperor for the soul.

[marinapaintsfanart]

While on his journeys for jedi relics, Luke finds his mother's old clothes. He puts them on wondering if he could see what his mother looked like

The slow buildup as he puts the makeup and jewelry on is soothing. When he finally stands in the mirror staring at her reflection, he asks her all the questions he had hidden in his heart growing up. He confesses all his hopes and fears.

It becomes a habit. And whenever Luke is nervous, whenever he thinks once more of the fallen he'd let behind, he cannot help but reach for the comfort of his mother.

---

I am not much of a writer, but I quite like the idea of a cross-dressing fic that isn't centered on sex but moreso hurt comfort and Luke really thinking about his life and what he wants

And maybe din stumbling on luke during this one day, getting so nervous cause luke is super pretty, finally makes Luke relate the above with his gender and sexuality... Genderfluid!Luke sort of.

[feralsunspotandtincan]

Luke read once that in any relationship, romantic or platonic, it's important to keep conversation lively and interesting, so Luke likes to share little tidbits he picked up on his adventures, with his riduur.

Luke: Hey Love, wanna hear a cool fact?

Din: Sure.

Luke: The Dagobah silt toad is larger than the largest bird native to Naboo!

Din: That's very interesting, Cyar'ika. You should tell Grogu at dinner.

Luke: I will! Wanna hear another one?

Din: Go ahead, sweetheart.

Luke: Stars are haunted.

Din: Okay. I have follow up questions.

[shirozora-draws]

... so I will choose to believe that this art post is the sequel to that time Din needed to make a pit stop on Ossus to repair his midlife crisis space bugatti, because apparently I draw sequels to my art posts now.

No, I don't know what came over me or why I let my impulses trample all over my sanity, and yes, this is under a cut for a reason.

I may also be a weeeeee bit obsessed with dappled sunlight. And colors. It's been doom and gloom here for almost 6 months, I need some color and light.

(the massive leaps and changes in style and color between these pieces one year apart is also maybe driving me crazy)

(but not as crazy as my obsession with the dappled sunlight and the red flush of luke's skin against the green of the bamboo forest and how he wraps himself around din and all the ways to hide Din's face while letting his gestures speak for him and-)

(please no for the love of fuck someone squash the gremlin in the back of my head suggesting putting together some words to this. absolutely not, we don't even go here)

Dumb badly-formatted DinLuke comic based on the Extreme Cleavage Luke concept art from RotJ. We were ROBBED I say!!!

Imagining Luke his first time somewhere humid and his hair poofs up and he doesn’t know what to do poor thing

For the DinLuke server prompt ✧Redamancy✧ and inspired by this

Hayden Christensen Returning to Star Wars With ‘Ahsoka’ Series (Exclusive)

Hayden Christensen is staying in the fold of the Galactic Empire. The actor will reprise his role of Anakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader, in Ahsoka, the latest Star Wars live-action series from Lucasfilm and Disney+, multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

HOLY SHIT, if The Hollywood Reporter is saying it, then I’m inclined to trust it, they have a pretty good track record, OH MY GOD.  Disney has not confirmed anything yet, but it’s not super surprising after they got him back for Obi-Wan Kenobi, but now the question is CLONE WARS FLASHBACKS?? FORCE GHOSTS???  WILL THEY DE-AGE OBI-WAN AS A FORCE GHOST AND GET EWAN TO PLAY HIM??  DISNEY, WHY CAN’T YOU JUST TELL US NOW???
