I want to know how to properly linger in a fandom after a show ends, because I almost always have unfinished fan fiction ideas (or full fledged stories) in my Google Docs, but as soon as the main story ends, my brain’s like “Well that’s all well and done!” and won’t let me write anymore.

How do I tell my poor brain to stop that and actually let me finish the stories I’ve started to write?!

(Anonymous) 2026-02-19 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if this happens every time, start by figuring out why you feel the need (even if subconsciously) to drop your ideas at the end of a series' run.

For example, are you worried everyone else will lose interest in fandom related things after the main show ends, so you feel there's no point in writing for an audience that doesn't show?

Or maybe the story felt complete every time and you felt that it didn't need your "what if" scenarios?

If you can figure out the why, you can work with that. Of course, it doesn't guarantee the resolution will be an outpouring of fanworks, but maybe the outcome will be different next time, whatever that may mean.

Wow, this is so foreign to my fandom experience! I mean, I believe you and I see it happen to people, but to me, a canon ending just gives me more freedom to write.

Ask yourself why you're writing these stories in the first place. Is it only about the characters/IPs you are engaging with, or is there a greater story/idea that you're itching to share? That IP with those characters may still be the best vessel to tell that story, and completing an unfinished work always feels good.

If you have a subconscious fear of engagement dropping off because the show's over, I highly encourage you to complete your fic and post anyway. You'd be surprised by how much lingering interest there is in thousands of fandoms. Think about how people still write Firefly fic, House MD fic, Star Trek TOS fic, etc. you know?

Unfortunately you must cultivate more neurodivergence in your brain

Transcript - Lawrence Welk Show

(Anonymous) 2026-02-19 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
As a kid in the late 90s, I always enjoyed the old reruns of The Lawrence Welk Show that would play on PBS on Saturday nights. I was in no way the intended audience for this show. But the un-self-conscious 60s-70s campiness was so fun!

(Anonymous) 2026-02-19 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhhhh man!! I had forgotten about this show until my dad was watching it recently 🤣 It does give me some type of comforting nostalgia now. I wouldn't probably ever sit down and actively watch it, but it makes me kind of happy to have it on as background noise.

(Anonymous) 2026-02-19 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Just commenting to thank you for the reminder of this show's existence. Gonna look up an ep or two on the YT.

Aw, man! We all watched that when it was actually airing - my parents liked it, and there were only a couple channels on offer, anyway. Good times!

Hmm... if you're more indifferent than anything, I'd say leave it be, just say thanks or say nothing and move on. If it's actively bothering you, maybe politely say that you have a bit of a feminization squick and don't mind them having their fun, but don't need to have it messaged to you? I personally wouldn't take offense to that, sometimes my fandom friends and I don't share kinks and have to let each other know we don't want to see something. I can't say if that would cause drama in your fandom but hopefully not.

Because of Kingdom Hearts, I hate Alice in Wonderland with a passion. Anytime I hear the Nutcracker suite I feel like screaming or if an app does an AiW event I wish I could opt out.

As a woman who loves the cottagecore aesthetic, I find it disheartening how many creepy/alt-right/bigoted dudes it attracts. I hate it when I meet a guy who loves the aesthtic like i do, only to find out he's a fascist ,racist, homophobic/transphobic misgynistic asshole .

The Muppets were always woke, stop complaining because you drifted off to the right. Take a page from Kermit's book and make a rainbow connection.

Nice mix of universally relatable, funny, awwww, WTF, and far right grumbling.

It's doing it for me.
