Re: "it's just fandom"

Well, I think wrt the fandom exchange, it's that both you and the exchange person should have a kind of a relaxed attitude. Like, it's just fandom applies equally to you and to them, because it is true that fandom doesn't matter that much.

That said, I do think it's natural for human beings to have emotions about everything and that's fine. Just a question of perspective really.

It's the principle of the thing. I'm not like trying to create a masterpiece, but if I'm entering an exchange I don't want to submit something crappy that I know is crappy. I don't want to be the bare minimum submitter who's like, whatever, it's just fandom, and everyone else should be as flippant about it as I am.

IDK, it's frustrating being told to take fandom less seriously when it's not even the fandom I'm serious about.

nayrt

I think you have the right attitude, tbh.

It would be one thing if you were neglecting major RL responsibilities to invest 6 hours a day researching a fanfic, or if you were saying hateful things to people because they ship the wrong characters or don't share your headcanons. Those are the people who need some perspective.

Investing time and care in a giftfic and being concerned to give your recipient the best possible story? Copacetic.

This!

I run a fic and art exchange and I wish everyone had your attitude. As it is, I have some people who turn in amazing work, some who just do the bare minimum, and some who do nothing at all and disappear without trace. (Sometimes, I wade in and offer to beta for people, especially when it's obvious that English isn't their first language).

And, as you say, it's the principle. It's irrelevant that it's fandom -- it could be original stories, or sewing, or baking cakes; it doesn't matter. They've made a commitment, they've been paired up with a partner, and they're letting that partner down (to say nothing of giving me ulcers).
