hi, this might come off a little weird, but i just saw your replies concerning the last drama in ans tag & i wanna say i respect how you conducted the discussion. i'm a zenyuki shipper & sometimes i also feel frustrated there isnt more fancontent. but i also think we gotta be the change we want to see. your words concerning that were nice. and, although i dont ship obiyuki romantically, i do think its fandom is v united and dedicated. these qualities propel you forward. i respect that dedication
Hi!
I remember your work from Zenyuki Week! Your Secret Garden comic is incredible! I look forward to seeing more of your stuff <3
Also, thank you so much for your kind words. I don’t usually get myself involved in the public discourse surrounding the pairings (I just want to write my stories and make my readers feel things), but I felt it was necessary this time around.
I would really love it if this (for lack of better word) tension between obiyuki shippers and zenyuki shippers would just.. go away. Because I know we are all huge fans and we all love the AnS series or else we wouldn’t feel so passionate about it. I know it can’t happen overnight -- there is too much frustration and too many hurt feelings for that to happen -- but it is something I would genuinely like to work towards. I have a few zenyuki shipper friends and I would love to have many more to scream with and get excited about the first peeks of the newest chapters. Speculating about what is going to happen next gives me life as a writer! lol
In regards to fan content: I think what a lot of people don’t realize or remember is that a year and some change ago, there was next to no content in the obiyuki community. Maybe 3-4 fics? But we all worked together and built each other up and formed some amazing friendships in the process. We’ve become and are becoming better writers/artists/creators by supporting one another and the works that we have created over the past year+
And I know I harp on this a lot, we are having fun getting excited about every stupid little thing and creating content around it. And then getting excited about the headcanons and works we put out and screaming about how much we love what the other has created. It would be cool if more people were having fun, too <3
