Steter Creation Appreciation!
Hey everyone! Steter is a fantastic ship that’s attracted all kinds of fantastic creators; fic authors, fan artists, gif makers, etc, and we wanted to create a blog to showcase all of the amazing talent that might not get the attention it deserves.
We’re focused on highlighting creations by smaller creators because they frequently can get passed up in things like rec lists and suggestions (or searching Ao3 since many people tend to filter by hits, kudos, and bookmarks). All of the popular fics/edits/art/etc are popular for a reason and they deserve the recognition they get, but we want to start shining a light on a different side of the fandom.
This is meant to be a positive space for people to share fan creations they enjoy and we will have our ask box and submissions open all the time for submissions and are planning an event for December. More event on that will come in the coming months
We have a FAQ here!
You can send us recs either using our ask box or through our submissions page. Please make sure anything you send is the original post and not a repost!
The most important detail from our FAQ is:
What creators count?
It can be hard to qualify what a “small” creator is, things like subscribers and followers aren’t available for everyone to see and popularity is such a subjective thing. The qualification we’ll be using is going to mostly be on a fic-by-fic basis with an “Under 30k hits” on AO3 baseline. From there, use your best judgement for the authors; do you see their name come up frequently on rec lists, what is the view count on their other fics, etc.
