Ok one more meme for Strange Magic and his cute fandom, spreading the Lofe❤️❤️💖. I would like to say I watched it more than 7 years ago but I only watched it a month ago and I love her ever since 😄 and well, looking around I discovered that despite everything Strange Magic had a nice reception and a nice fandom was formed 😚😚😚. By the way, thank you very much to those who have supported my own posts I have shared about Strange Magic here with their likes and reblogs, I feel very happy that there are people who still like this movie💖💖, I will be doing more ✌️🤩.

I feel like I joined the Strange Magic fandom way too late which is sad. I saw it years ago and love it and then moved on but lately ive been in a tough spot in my life and something reminded me of it so I watched it again and now im obsessed and cant stop watching it. It's giving me so much fluff and comfort during this dark time in my life. I really wanna watch it with others who like it but I dont know who is still active or cares about the fandom or movie anymore. If you do, let me know 🥺 I would love to host a lil event where we watch the movie together..

Trying to find a Strange Magic Fic:

I have scowerd all of ao3 and I might have missed it in my frenzy but I wonder if anyone could help me!

It’s a fic where Marianne goes to the dark forest and proposes marriage to Bog as a political alliance and over chapters Marianne stays with him during the winter and they slowly fall for each other.

Any ideas?

So, I watched Strange Magic (Lucasfilms, 2015) for the second time the other day, and now I'm all hyped and I need MORE. Bog and Marianne are my new official OTP, I love them so much.

Any fanfic recommendations? Or fanarts?

Strange Magic Fandom: Let’s chat!

​What is your favorite song from the movie and why?

My answer: “Straight On”. I love this song both in the movie and out. I used to listen to it on full blast and get chills because it was so much fun to listen to! I love it even more because it’s that moment that both Bog and Marianne truly meet.

Are you still writing Strange Magic fics on AO3? Just wondering 'cause it doesn't look like you've been on the site for awhile. Still writing but your creative passions are in hibernation or have you quit?

I’m going to be completely honest and frank with you, Dear Anon, because it’s late and I’m tired and I don’t have anything else to do before going to bed and honestly, I guess I’ve been waiting for someone to send me a question about this because I’m that bitch who wants to make a post about this very issue but can’t because she thinks it will be construed as a cry for attention and she needs to wait for someone to ask about it in order to believe people are genuinely interested in her life.  

ANYWHO. 

You’re absolutely right, I haven’t been on AO3 in a long time, not since 2018 it looks like. As to your query about whether I’ve quit or if my creative passions are in hibernation...

It is truly one of my dearest wishes to finish my Strange Magic fanfics and timelines that I have/had planned. It was then, and it is now. So as long as that desire is there, I can’t say that I’ve quit. I don’t think I can. 

But two things are making it hard as holy hell to get back into writing regularly the way I used to. 

One, for the majority of 2016, 2017, and 2018, I was severely depressed and I fell out of writing. I was empty and despairing and in serious need of help, and my passion for writing and keeping a regular routine with it got fucking gutted. I’m in a much better state now, and genuinely happy and mentally healthy, but I haven’t recovered my writing, not the way I wrote before. And honestly, I’m scared I’ll never have it again. 

The second thing is...no one is really interested in my writing anymore. Not my fanfics, not my original work. 

With my Trollhunters fanfics, I haven’t seen any of 3Below so I feel like I can’t continue the fanfics I wanted to unless I pull an Alternate Continuity and do what I want and screw Canon, and I don’t think people would care for that. With my Mad Max story, I never got that much attention for it so even though I would like to continue it, I feel pretty at peace it would only be for myself. 

But my Strange Magic fanfics...

You need to understand, I was part of the rise of the fandom for that movie. I had never been recognized by other fandom members, nor experienced such a joyous sense of community. It was intoxicating, and easily one of the happiest times of my life. I was creating, having a LEGIT writing schedule, and people were telling me what they thought about my stories. It was heaven. I met some of my absolute dearest friends through the Strange Magic fandom. I felt known and loved, and that’s incredibly rare for me. 

And now...

I think the fandom for Strange Magic is alive and well, and that’s a great and glorious thing, but people that I knew have moved on. I’m still friends with the people I have met through the fandom because more than the fandom connects us, and I thank my lucky stars for that. 

But no one really shows any interest in my fanfics anymore. No one wants to know what happens in the storylines. 

And I know that not being active for the past three years has played a big part in that, and I wish I could claw my depression out of me and whack it with a shovel for what it did, but it is what it is. People don’t care about my stories. 

I tried to get back into them, tried to participate in fandom again. I wrote Chapter Ten for Between the Shadow and the Soul and eagerly waited to see what people would think, how they would react...

...and nothing happened. No one cared that I posted it. No one gave a rat rancid rump, much less comments and feedback and thoughts. 

And I’ll admit, that was a huge fucking blow. Maybe I got arrogant, I fully acknowledge that. But that fanfic is incredibly dear and beloved to me, and I felt so triumphant for getting back to it. And no one cared. Not one, not even my friends who had been so excited for me in the past. 

So...I don’t know, Dear Anon. I don’t want to quit these stories. But I’ve also come to realize that hearing people’s thoughts and getting feedback is really important to me. I’m not OWED it by any means, of course, but it certainly helps me move forward. I miss that. I miss being part of a creative community, one where we help build each other up. 

Maybe I’m being bitter and tired, but it feels like people have moved on from my stories, and on from me. Even though I know at the end of the day a writer should write for themselves...I loved writing for the Strange Magic fandom. 

And I feel like I don’t matter there anymore.
