This is going to be a slightly whiny post, it's not meant at anyone specific really, I just want to get it off my chest.
Making my way through fandoms, some of the biggest ones, I guess I have some expectations when it comes to content (fanart, fics, anything really). I used to get a fair bit of attention, prompts, interaction, there are still prompts sitting in my messages from my old fandoms because I didn't have time or the capacity to do them all.
With WandaNat it's all so different. I know it's a much smaller fandom and fairly "dead" because, well, one of them is dead and the other one is in a happy on and off relationship with an android.
But I feel like fics only get attention if they involve a reader. Those seem to be the most popular ones, especially the ones that include sex, mommy/daddy kink, degradation, regression. Fics that include just the couple don't seem to get as much attention.
Manips don't seem to get attention either which to me is strange because that's like one of the most popular ways of displaying your affection for them.
It also seem to me that people don't comment or interact with posts from people they don't know. It used to be normal to reblog something and add a comment, if not tags.
It used to be normal to just message someone, ask for something or say something.
But now, when I ask for prompts, I get likes and reblog but that's it? I ask for headcanons and get nothing.
It's so hard to find people who like the same thing.
And it's so hard to keep writing when I don't get anything or very little in return. I do it for myself really but it's still true that comments motivate me, comments that are more than just one word.
Maybe the good ol' SQ days went into my head and ill forever be living in that era. But then I look at mg wife and her Supercorp fandom and I know it still exists, just not where I am active.
Anyway, rant over I guess.
