Re: Anatomy of a BNF

[(Anonymous)]

Never thought of myself as having been a BNF even though I've been in fandom for decades. I'm mercurial, won't commit to shit if I'm not getting paid for it and don't like more than a few people. There was a time when I actively tried to as I had a squish on this BNF but in retrospect that burnt me out. Thankfully I never looked back. Honestly, interacting online has almost always sucked and I enjoy fandom now because I don't have more than 10 followers in my locked.

Sometimes I think about putting things out there, because I enjoy creating on my free time and hyperfocus to the point of being unable to shut up about my fandoms but... People, bro. Ew.

The closest I may have been to being "popular"... I was kind of well-known for my writings on this one thing, meaning I talked to the popular people regularly but, even so, sticking to my opinions, tastes and thoughts made me more of a niche-inside-a-niche content creator than anything. I'd stick to "gossiping" with a few friends instead of trying to mix and mingle. And I honestly wouldn't have it any other way, because, damn. That was a shitty fandom full of men and I was a young female cosplayer. All in all, a great experience, though, because it made me realize that a) being e-popular at the price of your own opinions and well-being isn't worth it, b) people can be creepy even if you only know them online, c) you have every right of not wanting to talk to men, especially those that are going to think they are right no matter what and d) the best content creators aren't always the most acknowledged. So I don't think I was a BNF but I was popular enough to learn these, which was... great.
