Re: Anatomy of a BNF

[personal profile] philstar22 2020-12-06 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a semi BNF in my ship, which is weird? People message me all the time talking about how I was their introduction to the fandom or how my headcanon posts shaped their early fandoming, or other things like that. This one person keeps messaging me any time I reblog anything of hers (and I do a lot because her stuff is amazing and frankly way better than anything I've ever done) because I guess I was the first thing she read in the fandom and helped introduce her to writing. Honestly only thing I care about is that I'm happy my writing makes people happy.

I think I mostly became I BNF because I was one of the first big proponents for a non-abusive take on the OTP. The big fic for the pairing at the time was a very abusive take on it, and while that was my first introduction to the ship, I quickly realized that this was not how I saw them at all. The main big reason being that I didn't feel like my favorite character would stay in an abusive relationship because he's an utter arrogant narcissist who wouldn't put up with being abused. Anyway, I started posting headcanons about this character and the ship and then wrote fics of my own. And my stuff just took off.

The ship has really taken off since then, and I'm not as big a deal as I once was (in large part because I don't post nearly as much as I used to). But people still know me in the fandom.
