I'm really enjoying writing stuff that *I* want to see for my OTP even if no one else except one of my friends is reading it and leaving feedback. It's a rarepair in a dead fandom so that's about what I expected and I've been having a great time by myself in my sandbox, you could say.

...Just I can't help but feel a little ... jealous? Frustrated? Depressed? I'm not even sure what it is... to see a new fic show up for fic exchanges in the fandom (and it's good, yay! I am always in favor of good fic in my dead fandom) and immediately get more recognition than the stuff I've been writing has gotten in the months it's been up.

I mean I get that such a fic probably gets more traffic when it's on a big multifandom exchange list and it's possible no one goes to the AO3 fandom page directly anymore since it's basically dead. And I'm still having fun writing, and rereading my own stuff. But I miss feedback or even just a couple random kudos here and there.

And now I have another fic to post but I've already kind of felt bad about dominating the page, and I don't want to look like I'm trying to take attention away from a new fic by someone who's NOT me (cause despite the above, I really am glad to see more fic!)... I just forgot about Yuletide until I went to maybe start posting more fic, and saw one that wasn't by me.

Aww nonny I hope you go ahead and post your fic anyway! There is always an opportunity that your fics will be found by someone who will truly appreciate the stories you post. And I get the way you feel. I have similar feelings about a rare crack pair in a big fandom I've gotten a lot of inspiration for. It's frustrating to see my fic get little recognition and I can't help but compare my readership count/kudos to other fics even though in reality my real joy comes from writing and rereading the stories I want to write and to read. Keep writing and you have an awesome friend!
