I think that if fic quality has gone up, it's just because fandom is bigger and people have grown with it and improved over time.
I don't think tumblr has contributed to it at all - if anything, I think it makes people lazy, because posting cute headcanons that gets tons of notes is so much easier than actually writing a fic, and tumblr posting encourages short little things rather than meaty stories. I once posted a 10k oneshot and people were like "oh my god this is so long!!" and I kind of boggled, because I've posted fics where every chapter is nearly 10k.

In my fandom, "longfic" is anything that approaches the 1K mark.

It used to be anything over 10K.

Most people are posting shortfics these days, 500 words if you're lucky. Or "ideas for stories" that never get written, where the author shares a spot of headfic and it stops at that.

Sometimes I feel as though our collective attention span is just getting shorter and

Ugh, the tiny headcanons that never go anywhere depress me. It's like nobody cares about actual WRITING anymore, you know? When I started writing I was so proud when I was hitting the higher Ks for fic chapters, and recently I actually found myself going shorter 'cause it feels like the audience just isn't interested in long chapters.
How the hell is 1k long???

Definitely on the attention span thing :(
(and if you cut that off on purpose, well played XD)
