Sometimes I *wish* I wrote for more popular things but then I remember that popular things I like already have the fanfics I’m looking for which was why I never felt incentivized to write them. It wasn’t until I wanted to see a specific unpopular ship that I did it myself
@butnotmar Which is easier said than done because as someone who uses the tag sorting judiciously, I really didn’t think it would be that hard to tag my own stuff until I started writing it 😩

@NightChesh No, because villains united pissed me oooffff. I’ve had problems with Gail Simone for years but her fans are so aggressive it’s not worth it
