no you have to contribute to your fandom if you don't want it to die. most fandoms die because people say 'it's so sad watching the fandom die when the hype dies' without doing anything about it. I'm not saying you have to push out 100k word slow-burn fic, I'm not saying you have to make fan art or gif sets or edits or anything. I'm just saying we as a community should contribute to our fandom if we don't want it to die, and by contributing, I'm talking about giving kudos, commenting on your favorite fics, reblogging your favorite art and just talking about your favorite characters. that's enough to keep a fandom alive. that's the most effective way to keep a fandom alive in my humble opinion.

fandoms die because people stop talking about it, fandoms die because people stop engaging with fan content once the hype is gone. what I'm saying is, mainstream media's hype may be gone, but our fandom can stay alive and thriving if us as a community don't let it die.

as an adult, some adults really aren’t mature enough to separate fiction from reality or understand the basic concepts of fiction not necessarily reflecting someone’s real life moral compass and it’s embarrassing. how are you a grown adult and still acting like a mean girl who bullies real people for the sake of fictional characters and feelings morally superior

i get the vibe that people are reading less fic these days. confirm/deny?

in terms of reading fanfiction in the last six+ months...

i have been reading less fic lately for various reasons

i have been reading less fic and i'll tell you right now it's because of AI

i would like to read more but i'm in a fic reading slump

i never read all that much fic (less than one story per week)

i almost never read fic (less than once a month)

i read the same amount of fic as ever

i have been reading more fic lately

nuance/bald/i'll tell you in comments

Remaining time: 2 days 19 minutes

"because of AI" i mean because of the number of fics that are written using AI.

writing a sex scene should NOT be this difficult I've been running this through in my mind trying to work out how the pacing should be, how to write it so that's it's actually HOT rather than just ohyeah they fucked. the end. yknow? this is the real struggle 🙏 if you're ever wondering why a chapter is taking so long to write it's probably because they're having sex and I'm fighting for my life trying to write it good

As a fic writer with anxiety here is my PSA for any fic readers that also have anxiety about kudos and comments:

No we don't think it's weird if you kudos or comment an older fic. Quite the opposite. We love it! I often end up rereading my old fics and remembering who and where I was when I wrote them and the memories I have attached to them.

A string of emojis is better than no comment. I don't need eloquent paragraphs.

Similarly keyboard smashes are also fun! They almost always make me laugh.

Leaving cute things in the tags of reblogs is not cringe. I love them. I love seeing them. Also you wanted to share my writing?? I immediately love you.

Likes and kudos are great if that's what you have spoons for, but if you can leave even just a heart or a reblog with no tags then it will always mean the world to me.

Sending me asks about my fics will probably make my day!

Feeling safe while I’m around someone is so important to me. I’ll always treasure people who let me be my vulnerable self when interacting with them. Kindness is more important than people realize. Life is hard, be gentle with one another.
