AYRT

I used to write fanfiction back when I was 12yo (shhh, don't tell them) and I got SO much engagement even though my fanfic was...well, written by a 12yo. I made a bunch of friends, I was invited into special communities, I was mentioned by other writers as a source of inspiration, etc. and I didn't even think twice about how cool that was at the time.

When I got back into writing fanfiction a decade later, my writing was much better, but I didn't get even a fraction of the engagement. Honestly, my first guess was that my then-fellow-12-year olds were just very excitable and eager to engage with my oh-so-relatable writing and songfics. But I think there's been a lot of speculation about how the fandom community environment has shifted, particularly with Big Social's influence.
