Re: Writer Thread

I hate my fandom (not the canon) and I wish I'd never started writing in it sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I love the things that I've created and I'm genuinely glad for the fans that followed my stuff. I'm still really glad I'm almost completed with my project, and I'm doing it for that handful of people. Once I'm done, I'm out.

Fandom fucking blows. I've never had anything but a miserable, lonely experience with it. If the right BNF doesn't toss you a cookie or you don't learn how to suck up, or you don't write the right thing, then fuck you.

I hate it. I hate how it makes me feel like I've wasted my time making something I loved. I'm SO looking forward to sitting down with my own work again.

This was kind of the headspace I had to get to before I could go back to writing original fiction. Fan fiction was something I needed to express myself for a while, but I had to get miserable in fandom before I could make the jump back to my original work. I wish it had been an easier adjustment. :/

Ayrt -

For what it's worth, this makes me feel weirdly better. Thank you.

You're welcome. :)

It was worth it in the end for me. I'm pretty happy where I'm at now writing original stuff. (Most of the time. I still have off days.)

Re: Writer Thread

That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that, anon. I've had some good times in fandom but also some bad times.

Back when I started writing fic, 15 years ago (!), it was a much more chilled environment. There were more writing groups, more conversation, more of a community.

Now it's all one liners and people shouting at each other on virtual forums. Authors whose fic doesn't meet some esoteric standard get torn down and ripped to shreds.

It's horrible frankly.
