I'm in my 30s and still writing fics about adults (currently in a fandom where the majority of characters are coincidentally my age), so I haven't had that problem myself. But then again, I suppose it entirely depend on the fandom that you're in. Sorry that you've hit a rough spot fanfic-wise OP.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel your pain.

I was once in a fandom where the show had legit adults but for some reason the trend in the fandom was High School AUs. Happy for those people, but sad for me who does not at all want to read about teenagers and high school drama.

A transcript of the secret in case anyone is curious what it had said:

"I find myself less interested in shipping teenagers and 20-somethings, the older I get.
I assumed it would be the same for writers, but I'm finding it significantly harder to find fic containing older characters. Have older writers just stopped writing, or are they writing about current teenagers?
It's rather depressing, realizing that you're starting to get too old for your 20+ year hobby."

[(Anonymous)]

That sucks, OP. Older characters are out there! You just have to find the right fandoms.

I'm active in three fandoms right now and they range in age for the MCs. One is teen/young adult. One is late 20s-early 30s. One is 40s-50s. Granted, the most activity is in the teen/young adult, but it's historical so it's not really typical teenaged drama.

[philstar22]

Same for me, OP. Not sure when it happened, but I really don't ship teens anymore. Now I really only ship adults.

[(Anonymous)]

you're not too old, you just have to find books/canons that are centered around adult characters. in my fandom all the 20-something fic writers are shipping and writing fic for characters who are 30 to 40+.

[(Anonymous)]

At least you don't have to deal with fandom teenagers calling you a predator and other fandom adults calling you basic/boring/mentally stunted for being an adult who still likes things about kids and teenagers.

Now, I'd like to have your problem, but the genres I like in fandom rarely have adult characters, and while I like plenty of things with adult characters, it's rarely enough of an interest to be in the fandom (if there is one.)

[(Anonymous)]

I started out writing older characters and have found myself writing teenagers and late 20s since then. Whatever sparks my inspiration is what makes me write.

Have you played Neverwinter Nights by any chance?

[(Anonymous)]

Ooof that temptation can be strong! Good job on overcoming it. I had heard about this game from neighbors, but I don't want to tax my comp at all for it.

Re: addiction to games (or the like) I've recently been tempted to go back and start reading fanfiction again (I too quit cold turkey) but I have to remind myself how much time I'm about to lose if I start up and how it didn't lead anywhere good for my mental health. But the main thing keeping me from it is just knowing that I'll get obsessive again and just waste my time and pass up on good books waiting to be read. Good luck!

[(Anonymous)]

I enjoyed Neverwinter up until the monsters became much too strong for soloing (around level 50+?). I know it's an MMO and I'm *supposed* to team up but at that point I felt like I'd had my fun so I bailed.

And I fucking love both.

(Although I'll argue a little about Succession being grimdark. It's bleak as hell, but it's also fairly comedic. Or maybe my sense of humor needs a tweak. But "grimdark" to me means absolute joyless-ness, and Succession does make me laugh a fair amount.)

The first song I thought of is "Surface Pressure" which is about how hard it is to 'smile through the pain', so I'm not sure I agree with this.

I don't know all of his songs, though, so I could be way off base (or which are his, I guess I mean)

That last line...whew! I guess it's good that adults will always be offended by harmless shit

i hang out in the discord for a dutch streamer and there are several people there who are keen to remind us that may 4th is their day for remembering their war dead (compare november 11th), so they get quite upset about the star wars memes
