you're still going to be writing sidgeno though? 🥺
Yes of course! Though likely mostly while participating in exchanges fests and bangs. I'm definitely not about to stop participating in the fandom or anything because this is my happy place and this is where my friends are, but I think my issue with sidgeno at the moment is after writing 50 fics (give or take) I've sort of run out of new emotional obstacles to give them? At least ones that fit within their character to me. Like, I can think of never ending new AUs, and situations, and porn to write them into, but there are only so many emotional conflicts I can give them, and I personally really dislike writing the same emotional beats over and over again, I just don't find it creatively stratifying. That's what was so exciting to me about sidsteve (besides being just plain obsessed with yzerman) it gave me a new sand box of relationship issues to play with. And also why I like exchanges so much because I love working with and being inspired by other people's ideas, it can be a fun challenge. I feel bad saying it, but it makes up a small part of the reason I'm not that bothered by the team's oncoming twilight and sid/geno's eventual retirement: it's presents potential new conflicts to explore.
There are also just a bunch of fandoms I've been on the sidelines of for so long that I'd finally like to take some time and explore writing some new characters as well as revisit some that I nuked years ago along with my og Ao3 account and the fics within it.
All that being said, you can always send me promts, especially if you're read my fics and know what I like to vibe with. Something may end up striking a chord!!!
