Case, I submitted a secret last night that should have a spoiler warning attached, but I'm pretty sure I forgot to let you know. What's the best way to fix my mistake? Resubmit with an explanation?

There is something to be said for the chunkiness, the almost unpleasantness. It stood out when scifi was about being smooth and sleek and shiny.

I compare the first Sisters of Battle cover to the modern one and like, not to set two bad bitches against each other, but one of those ladies flosses her teeth with the tendons of heretics and crushes the skulls of cultists beneath her heel.

You and me both.

Speaking as a rarepair writer... no. I write what I write for myself and the few others who actually want the ship or gen theme I'm writing. Why should I care that people whose interests run in completely different directions aren't reading my stuff? I'm not reading theirs either!

[(Anonymous)]

Why would I read fic that doesn't interest me?

[(Anonymous)]

Lol.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean I get that you are sad small ships don't get read, but you are literally saying "I'm sad people don't read things that don't interest them." It is just really weird.

I also don't eat food that doesn't taste good or wear clothes that don't fit!

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I don't really get people who say they're fans of a show or book or whatever when they're really only fans of one made up relationship between two characters in that media. But we all like different things.

[(Anonymous)]

When you write for a small audience, you know you're not gonna get the engagement that someone writing for a bigger audience does. The point of doing it is for the love of it.

Sure, someone who's mainly in it for clout will be disappointed at not getting attention, but they're also most likely not gonna be writing gen or rarepair fic!

[feotakahari]

For me, gen fic is like nonsexual furry stories. If someone tells me there’s a really interesting furry story, sure, I’ll read it, but I have no particular desire to search for them, and I don’t even know where I would find good ones as opposed to bad ones.

[(Anonymous)]

Here's the thing... I have the source material for all the stuff that ISN'T my OTP. I don't need to read gen fic when I have gen show (or gen books, game, movie, etc). When I read and write fic, it's because I want the stuff the show doesn't explore, and YEAH, that usually does mean my ships.

Even when I write fics that are centered on platonic relationships I wish I could have seen explored in canon, my ships are part of it, because if I ship A/B and C/D, and I want to look at what a friendship between B and C looks like, those relationships or those unresolved feelings are still part of the characters' lives *as I write them*.

It's not because I don't think there's good gen fic out there-- it's not even that I make it a point not to read gen fic! In some fandoms, I have.


And, as a rarepair writer... if there's also a more popular ship that I *like*, maybe I write a fic that's about popular A/B and rare C/D and hope that some of the A/B fans come away from it shipping C/D with me. Sometimes I just put my rarepair fics out there with the thought that if *one* other person ships it and finds that fic, then there's two of us, but I couldn't not write the story.

[(Anonymous)]

Have we revived 2000's 'are shippers even REAL fans???' wank? Lmao.

It's 2024, who cares what people like to do in fandom, so long as no one is harassing anyone else it literally doesn't matter.

Someone's at the door!

I haven't read fanfic in years, but thank you for keeping the fandom going, OP. And thanks for the reminder. I'll have to find my DVDs and rewatch the show.

(I often wonder how it would have done if it would have been out a decade or so later.)

Half the time, the flaws are what people are nostalgic for.

Kaiju romance, nay or yay? If yay, between what and what (or who)?

Inspired by today's Secret # 3 which had me over here tilting my head and smiling pleasantly at 'Gozilla x Kong'. Heh.

Funny, recognized number 1 instantly because I was doing research for fanart before. Never even started this fanart because I just couldn't draw for the last couple of years. But occasionally I still do planing stages.
Number 3 is just bleak
