“why would you write fics for small, unpopular fandoms? you’re not gonna reach that many hits in fandoms not many people know about” ?? because I’m not writing fics for hits or kudos, I’m writing them for me because these characters are my blorbos and I have so many ideas, so much thoughts about them that my brain might explode if I don’t write them out.

This, so hard. The only fandom I have ever felt moved to write for is tiny, tiny, tiny. I do not give a crap about that fact. I write what I want to write and I don’t really care if it’s widely read. Not to say that I don’t enjoy the hits or whatever comments and kudos come my way, but *shrug*

@taraljc knows whereof I speak.

I also from personal experience know and crave the intense joy of connecting with other fans, of reading fan works that reflect all the aspects of the show you both love through the same or similar lenses. I'm not saying that feedback from other fans is not delightful and does not continue to feed the engine of my creativity simply by letting me know that the stories I have cast out into the great void have found a home in someone else's heart. But I too am writing because I have had these people in my head since 1986 and if I don't let them out to play sometimes, it makes me sad in my face.

Repeating what seems to be this week’s theme around here*:

There are stories only you can tell. Tell them and make the world a little bigger.

*meaning @petermorwood’s and my place

sorry I took your blorbo and gave them all of my flaws cause I saw myself in them a little bit. yeah, they soaked up all my childhood trauma and fears like a sponge. no, I don't think I can undo it. I'm putting them through unimaginable horrors as we speak, yeah. they're mine now, I'm really sorry. sorry.
