i love commenting on old fics (esp 10+ years) and imagining the author’s surprise. like yes, someone (me!!!) absolutely cares about what your teen self wrote back then and still finds value in it even if you’ve long moved on
my contribution to the fic writer discussion is that i wish there was more love for fic long after its initially posted. im always so grateful when i post a fic and it gets immediate attention but after that first week it feels like it just kind of disappears into the ether
what happened to journalism? who gave unserious people the platform to write articles! fandom fanfics are not for your news pages, they're created for fandom spaces please let's not lose our goddamn minds
i think the beautifulest thing about fanfiction everrrr is that 30 people could write the exact same premise and each one would be special and i would eat up all 30
