To Go Ahead Or Not?

[(Anonymous)]

So I did a little writing exercise for an old fandom of mine the other day, and it accidentally got long enough and decent enough to be considered a full fic in its own right. My friend says I oughta put it on AO3 with the others, but I'm still a little wary - I've been gone from it long enough that it might be weird, it might just be a one-off anyway, and the fandom itself, let alone the content of the fic, is a little... niche. But at the same time I don't wanna waste what little I've been able to accomplish this year. Should I go for it?

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, i do realize I used "(a) little" far too much in that. I'm not normally this bad, promise.

Write some more and only then post - one piece at the time. You don't want to get discouraged and stop writing)

Post it! I had been really soured on fandom for a while and then earlier this year, I had a random idea for a new fandom. I posted it, not expecting much, and I got some really nice responses.

Good luck! And have fun writing!

Go for it, Anon! Why not?

I'd say post.

Honestly, I'm currently in a fandom where people will post anything and call it a fic. They'll plunk out 200 words of mid-fuck daddy kink with zero characterization and slap it up on AO3 in a hot second. And as much as I'm a snob who silently rolls my eyes at them, they get kudos and comments and they seem to have fun with it. Which has really put into perspective for me that you don't need to write 5K - 200K of gorgeously structured plot and perfect characterization in order for it to be ok to post. The fact that you describe your fic as "long enough and decent enough to be considered a full fic in its own right" makes me think you probably have higher-than-necessary standards for your own fanfic (which is not remotely a criticism, for the record).

Unless you're in a really snobby fandom, other people in the fandom will probably just be happy someone wrote something for them to enjoy.
