That sucks. Hope it never happens to me.

Oh man I feel you OP. I've always been a bit of a lurker, but I seem to have become one of the main active people in my main (fairly small) fandom after writing what turned out to be a very popular fic, and am as close to a BNF as it's possible to get in close quarters. It's nice in some ways, but I've never felt any kind of expectation in a fandom before and it's really messing with my sense of what's "good enough", because I feel that everything I post has to be extra good, which I never worried too much about before because I never had anyone to let down.

I hope you come to peace with your experience, or manage to slip out of things gradually if it's not what you want or you fall out of love with your fandom.

Yeah, I do have this sort of relationship with being a BNF as well. In one hand, I love having my fanstuff acknowledged and all but I feel like it doesn't always leads to having more people to gush with or just feeling happier in general. I remember being a BNF for my small fandoms wayyyy back then and the whole experience was ... kind of shitty, and ever since then it's like I - consciously or not - lay low so I don't attract any undesired attention, but then it feels lonely. It's like, I can't win.

I used to want to be a BNF in my fandom (mainly 'cause all the BNFs in my fandom get cool free stuff), but then I became friends with a BNF and learned what it was like for her. She feels so much pressure to outdo her previous posts, so she spends hours and hours setting things up and editing her photos. She feels like she can't say anything bad about the free stuff she's getting, even if it's shitty quality, because it would jeopardize her relationship with the brand. She did a contest for something small and got a ton of butt-hurt people sending her hate mail because they didn't win. She's gotten accused of being racist, sexist, and homophobic for seemingly innocuous pictures. It's honestly bonkers to me.

I don't know if I would ever want to be a "BNF". How would I know if I am one? But I do like it when the stuff I post gets a lot of likes, or even the occasional compliment or so.

Is it if you have a following? Is it if you have trolls? Is it when people start calling you a BNF?

[(Anonymous)]

You know you are a BNF when people start namedropping you on all fandom sites and youtube videos related to the canon.
