I sorta feel this, but from the writer’s side. I’ve made some great friends who are in the same fandoms as me and have the same ships. They know I write fic for those ships, but I don’t want them to read my fics. It makes me nervous for some reason.

Yup. I know a couple people in real life who are into Tolkien. Never shared my fandom identity, though. Definitely don't want them knowing I write porn.

What's kind of awkward to me is when they change fandoms or post origfic.

...I don't want to read anime fic or original fic, sooooory guys.

Do you ever do something just because you care about someone and know it's important to them, or do you only ever do things where there's something in it for you?

nayrt - What a bizarrely unpleasant way to spin that. It's perfectly fine and not the least bit selfish if a person doesn't want to read ALL of their friend's fanfiction, particularly those in a fandom that doesn't interest them. Do you honestly think you're going to get anyone to agree with you, or are you hoping for a lot of embittered fanfiction authors who believe that friendship obligates people to do that regardless of their interests?

This so dumb.

To be fair, at least you are not like a friend of mine who knows that I like hearing her opinion and thoughts on writing because I value her insights, but the most I get is a comment and when I have to go out my way to bring it up in DMs the only reaction I get is "yeah it was cute".

I'd rather not have friends read my works if that's the case because it's just ruining the mood. We can brainrot over ideas and headcanons without getting involved in each other's work or not reading everything.

Super late comment but this comment ignited some old feelings and memories.

I had a fandom friend who did similar things.

Their interactions with my fics became less and less frequent, especially after they began writing their own fics.
They'd share links to fics they read and liked and kept asking me for my opinion on said fics, and they seemed to want me to go off about all the things I liked about the fics my friend wrote.

When I tried to tell them that I felt unsupported by their behavior, they apologized that I "felt that way", and then came up with excuses as to why they'd been short and dismissive, including the ways I didn't respond well to a gripe they had outside of me saying "that sucks".
I realized my friend didn't want a friend, they wanted a suck up to parrot praises at them so I stopped interacting with this friend.

I'm not sure I have this, I think maybe because most of my fannish activity for a while has been through participating in fic exchanges, and so whenever a friend of mine posts a new fic, it feels to me like I just got a new gift in a fandom I frequently request in exchanges, and I immediately go to read it and eat it up.

I do notice that the longer I'm friends with someone on Tumblr, the less I interact with their posts, though. I feel a bit bad about that.

Usually I make fandom friends via ao3 comments, and if I like both someone's writing _and_ them as a person... I wanna read whatever they're writing.
