Re: Anatomy of a BNF

[(Anonymous)]

(CWA)

Okay, so I was the BNF in a very tiny pairing fandom back in the early aughts? When I really knew I was the BNF was I had friends who went to cons and they'd ask cosplayers who were in that fandom's costumes about me and they'd know my name. "Oh, yeah, I've read her stories. What is she like really?"

My joke was I needed stickers.

By this point, I was writing most the fic, I ran the OTP LJ community, did the yearly awards, and about the only thing I hadn't done was write the OTP's shipping manifesto. People knew what day I was posting and gave me good comments about "oh it's today and I had to come check today for your story."

I burnt out eventually. I felt I was carrying the fandom. So, I kind of stepped back and stopped posting. Fortunately, I wasn't involved in any heavy wank or scandals.

It shaped how I interact online definitely. I try not to put out any opinions I wouldn't share with my grandmother. Or stand behind. If I'm wrong, I apologize and try to do better. Always finish your stories before posting. I still fall for the "I don't want a serious answer even though I'm asking the question" thing though. Too much of a "mama bear."

Now, I do plan to take most the world building I did for that fandom and put it into my solar punk story. If people figure it out, which I doubt, I can go "yes, you caught me. Want a cookie?" But it was over a decade ago now. So, I doubt anyone is going to really care much.
