I feel like a lot of today’s fandom culture can be explained by the fact that the platforms in most use (twt, TT) are effectively outrage farming everyone for traffic, engagement and increased dwell-time on their apps thus incentivising users to become outrage mongers themselves and that combined w everyone’s shitty attention spans and an increasingly lonely populace is just resulting in ppl who hate each other and, increasingly, the very media that they devote all their time to. im getting more and more annoyed at myself for following negative conversations online and esp for ever engaging in them and these days i really think that often the most useful thing any of us can do to improve fandom culture is just leave ppl to their outrage and pursue positive conversations about the things we like and just create shit again lol. I am so bored of the negativity and the constant churn of what we hate this week

There’s a quality that certain books/movies/TV shows have that leads me to say, “Yeah, I can see people making fanfiction of that.” It’s something to do, I think, with how tight the story is, how much feels open-ended or like it could be elaborated on.

Something like Breaking Bad, for example, has low squiggability (that’s what I’m calling this quality). It’s tightly written, the characters are consistent, there’s little left to interpolate or extrapolate. Obviously, people DO write fanfic of Breaking Bad, but it still has a low squiggability score. Whereas something like Supernatural has a high squiggability score. Fantasy and science fiction often have high squiggability scores. This suggests squiggability could also be related to worldbuilding and potential for people to borrow a premise or setting.

And sometimes you’ll read or watch something and you’ll say, “Ah, low squiggability,” and then you’ll open tumblr and find out that everyone else seem to think its squiggability was very high indeed.
