hey ❤️ I’m taking a break from fandom. I think I’m just too disheartened at the moment. I’ve been part of fandoms for years, and I’ve written on ao3 und tumblr since like the Teen Wolf days. I’m juggling way too many accounts at this point, because I’d create another one every time I’d get into a new fandom. But I’ve realized that over the years engagement has gone down, just like overall, everywhere, for everyone.
It used to be a conversation. It used to be a community. You used to write and discuss things in the comments. It wasn’t about churning out content; people just wanted to talk and spitball. People actually cared about shit.
Writers on here put so much fucking time and effort into fics it’s unbelievable. I don’t even think people are aware of what that actually means, it’s hours of research and editing, it’s time that is being given to something that didn’t exist before someone decided to care about it enough they wanted to share it with people. Nowadays it’s all crickets, and it’s really, really disheartening, and it’s not fun anymore. But I guess it’s just the sign of the times.
