My fandom used to have so many long one-shots and multi-chapter fic. Now there are mostly (very) short fics and chapters. They're still good, for the most part, but I often find myself missing the long, meaty fanfic.

I've tried being the change. I'm only one person, though.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't stand it when people give the "just write it yourseeeeeeelf" advice, anyway. I mean yeah, yeah, sometimes people could contribute if they see a fandom or ship that needs more love, but generally speaking it's such a condescending, low-effort way to shut down the discussion. I'm very certain that the people who give this advice would get annoyed if they were told that every time they had an unfulfilled need in their life.

[(Anonymous)]

As a fanfic writer who used to write a lot of longfic and has been writing shorter stuff lately... I get it. I wish I could write more longfic now too, but... there's just a lot going on, and I think that's true for a lot of writers.

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't been in fandom that has longfic at all for some time D:

[(Anonymous)]

I've definitely noticed this trend too. I attribute it mostly to how much higher the engagement-to-time-invested ratio is for short fics compared to long ones, particularly on all the current, major fandom platforms. Also, fandoms seem to be staying popular for less long these days, which I think affects how people create for them. And not to be all yells-at-cloud about things, but attention spans have probably, on average, gotten markedly shorter in the last decade. :/

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I think one of the most depressing things has been watching "Big Bang" min lengths go down from 50k to 20k... 15k... 10k... 5k... even 1k... Like, oof, that's not a big bang anymore! How did fandoms ever support 50k+-word bangs??! It must have been a very different time.

Also, I'm going to be wanky and put some of the blame on this change on the proliferation of -tober-style fic challenges based on Inktober -- Kinktober, Whumptober, Flufftober, etc. It's like every fandom and every genre needs to have a ~30 day challenge with prompts for each day at least once a year. I wish there was anywhere near that amount of effort/events dedicated to people finishing their big multichap WIPs, or rewarding people for putting out a new chapter for the same, longer story every week for three months straight or things like that.

Something something attention spans in general? (Myself included. Although I will plead that the older I've gotten, the more I've had to do things like care for elderly parents, which really cuts into reading time.) But otoh I still see people posting in a fanfic writers' community on tumblr about their long fics, like in the many tens or even hundreds of thousands of words, so...

(btw that community's size still shocks me. 36k members last I looked. even in my days of being in HP fandom on LJ I was never in any community so large. criminy.)

Something seemed off about the interview between Ned and Ariel. I don't know. It just felt disingenuous to me, and if someday it comes out that there's something else going on with this situation, I won't be surprised. (Or maybe it's just my autism making it difficult to parse their emotions, body language, etc.)

What is this about?

[(Anonymous)]

Including the fandom might be helpful, OP.

Is it just me or are antishippers ableist AF? I feel that antishippers are ableist in general, especially when they encounter neurodivergent proshippers or proshippers dealing with trauma.

I do love this movie. but I'm one of the weird people who prefers the book. This is definately one of the best adaptions ever. But I prefer the book version of Hammond and his epic death as well as a few other things.

I don't get people who say "I hate anime". Anime is an animation style that encompasses many different genres. I am not a fan of the stereotypical tropey/fanservicey anime with bug-eyed characters. But even I have found some gems of anime that i like such as: Full metal alchemist, studio ghibli films (Miyazaki is a god among men), cowboy bebop, grave of the fireflies, Berserk, Mononoke, Devilman and Death Note. Also Ghost in the shell.

Transcript by OP

As a kid, I had a rich friend with several American Girl dolls and all the extras. I never wanted the dolls, but I did covet the hell out of those accessories: the historical kitchen tools, the miniature food, the old-fashioned desks. Sometimes I thought about just stealing one or two little things. I thought she’d never notice – she had so much. But I never would.

Star Wars needs to stop bringing characters back from the dead. This applies to both EU and canon. Maul. Palpatine. Fett. Numerous Jedi. Enough. Death has lost its meaning in the Star Wars universe. Just give us new characters.

As a lifelong, major furry and a Romantasy/Paranormal romance fan, I actually laughed when I saw these posts on reddit. I loved the little animal features on Sarah J. Maas's characters. If anything I wish they were even more animal-like.

I'm okay with Bobby being killed off. He was a good character, but not my favorite. And I love the idea of Chimney as captain. I'm just sad for Athena.

I know these books have issues. But I still love them. And I still hope that someday we get an adaption of the first three books.
