oh man one of the things i missed most about writing fic is the fantastically buck wild internet rabbit holes your fic research leads you down.

This is not a complaint in any way but I think it’s fascinating to analyze how reclists get way more interaction than single recs. I love doing both ofc, but sometimes I struggle between wanting to be helpful and highlight as many works as I can, or enjoying the freedom to create banners and focus on babbling about a single work at my heart’s content. I used to think reclists are a more generous contribution while single recs are somewhat selfish because I do them without worrying if it’s being “useful” to someone, but over the years I’ve come to realize that each has its purpose and reflects my mood and my creative energy in different ways. It was lovely to realize a few things about myself through this reflection. Being a reccer is so much fun!

I'm gonna tag byler because it's the only fandom where I'm active and sometime I am a (very average) fanwriter and fanartist for the ship... But I think it's a general discourse that involves fandom spaces and the evolution of fandom culture.

As a dean of fandoms (since I've been in fandom for so many years already), I am used to write comments to fics i like or share the art I enjoy and everything, maybe because I've been on both sides of enjoying/creating fan content, I'm always active at my best capacity... But I've noticed a shift in the past years, maybe due to how fast the net is, how big the fandom is for stranger things, etc, of everything becoming disposable and almost a given, and just the pace of it all is so fast that we're used to get content and just push a like button and moving forward... But artists spend hours doing that fan content, for their own enjoyment but also for engagement with the fanbase and all, to carve themselves a tiny space in the fandom and to share their love for said fandom/ship/show.

If you like a fanart, reblog it. Or if it's on instagram, like it and comment it. Write tags, even just a 'i love it it's so cool' one. Write some comment to the author, show you love it... Every single like counts, obviously, but there is nothing like getting a cute comment under a piece of work, no matter if it's as good as Caravaggio or just a simple sketch, if You Enjoy it then show it. It matters to artists.

Same with fanfictions, it happens so often to me that I read a fiction, see they have 200 kudos and only 2 comments... Kudos are amazing, notwithstanding that I think there is a lack of effort for comments that are longer than six words (I like it so much wow!)... I'm not saying everyone has to write a literature analysis under a fanfiction, but even just pointing out your favourite parts in a fic, some plot twist you liked, some lines that resonated with you, or the way the writer wrote a character... It makes the difference!

It tells a message to the artist, I appreciate the time you spent creating this content and sharing it with us. And it matters :')

You know you’re in deep when you’re watching Pitch Perfect and your response to the little half-smile from the love interest du jour is “That’s exactly how John smiles at Sherlock.”

I’m not saying I’m wrong, just that I’m in deep.
