Idk, maybe you really just don't connect with the content and it isn't deeper than that? Just because it's of decent quality doesn't mean you have an obligation to like it. It's not being mean, unless you're all "pfft, I can't believe this idiot is trying to pair these two" or something like that.

I get being jealous of others. (I went through a phase where I ragequit a content creator for a while, though I didn't lash out at the person or bash them to others in any way.) But I don't think that not connecting with content that's better than what you're used to (regardless of how it compares to your own work, or what your friends think of the new stuff) is a sign you're being "shitty."

Ouch.

Well, knowing it's an issue can be helpful. Honestly, brain-weasels hit everybody sometimes.

Maybe taking a step back and reading fic from a different fandom (no baggage) might help?

The last four months, I've been taking a break from reading fics for a fandom I really, really like because of how insanely jealous I was getting of the BNFs. Fortunately, none of my friends are in the fandom so I'm not, like, missing hanging out with people, AND I've been writing my own stuff for fun and not publishing it because it would just stress me out to compare it to what other people are doing. But yeah, I get it. It is the green-eyed monster.

'Content' 'Creator'

Shudder.

I think we can all get jealous from time to time. I remember that I was in a teeny tiny fandom where I was the only one writing (what I consider to be) decent fic, but on tumblr, a person who was no longer writing was still getting all of the fandom's attention with asks and likes. *shrug*

As long as you aren't sharing your issues with others and keeping your envy to yourself, it's fine to try to learn and grow. Or not.

[meadowphoenix]

i mean, do you really think your stuff was only just "good by comparison"? because if so, yeah it feels like you don't actually think much of your stuff and its coming up with these new fics.

[(Anonymous)]

I sort of understand the feeling, but I think my experience is a bit different. There's a lot of not great quality fic in my fandom so when I find one that is actually well written and reads like it was written by an adult, I feel like I'm way more nitpick about it (in my own head only) than I am about the less good ones.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow.

You sound nice.

[(Anonymous)]

Late to the party here but ME TOO. Like, I'm so jealous I can't even read fic in the fandom I write for. I used to drive myself nuts wondering why someone got more kudos or faves than me, or if I'd see a comment on another author's story I might wonder why they're not reading MY story too, shit like that. I'm so much happier just staying out of that and not even LOOKING at the fic page. I wish I could be a normal person who enjoys both writing and reading fic, but I figure... some people read and don't write, so why can't some write and not read, right?

You made my comment a secret . Thank you!

I avoid all fandom spaces of tts because while I like Varian as a character, he's a prime target for teenagers to woobiefy and I don't have patience for that.

I mean it does bother me when he's eating the tomato. But not because of realism.

Are you the Nonnie who also said they were binging X-files for the first time? I have never watched the whole series so they inspired me to make it my next big binge. I have only watched a few episodes but am loving it. If that is you, thank you OP.

I am also so lost in Mulder's hair. I want to pet him like a sheepdog or just run my fingers through it as I go to sleep.

If you don't like scenarios a, b, c, d, and e, then I think you managed to dislike all possible resolutions to hidden treasure plots? I'm curious what your ideal resolution would be.

I'm not trying to be mean to you, I'm just genuinely confuzzled.

I'm this way about anything that isn't English or Spanish. Even though I only know some Spanish, I like the way it sounds enough that I like Spanish music a lot. But I've tried music in other languages and mostly don't like it (except for the occasional Hindi song).

I dig Mr. Sheffield, and he/the actor are certainly older than me, but he and Fran are only three years apart! But the things you mention are definitely narrative tropes I enjoy.
