@tinawithana: Replying to @averybandit @tiana <— i lied put your clothes back on video #ao3 #fanfiction #fanfic #fanficwriter #archiveofourown #fandom #community #alihazelwood #reylo #dramione
I think also, readers who haven't been in Fandom or ao3 before are increasingly reading on their kindles, so they aren't interacting because they can't, they downloaded the file.

hannah !! :
this is how i feel about those "fanfics you can read without knowing the source material" tiktoks that pop up, like why would you read a fanfic if you don't have that connection???

Thank you for posting these videos. I am fairly new to fanfic and it helps to get some insights and perspective into the established community.

It's just another symptom of this recent pressure to commodify hobbies.

I feel this sentiment when people say they can’t follow wips, it’s the same sense of community that is being denied when you’re only waiting for a work to be completed before reading it.

It shocks people that not all ff writers want to be published… and I’ve had people argue with me that because they want to be read published all fanfic should be treated that way. When I mentioned i

absolutely true, AND also fandom were destroyed by purity culture (anti-shippers)

popular fanfiction =/= successful book. Some writing is just better in one of the mediums. there are facts and trends to each format that distinguish them, you can't just change names and publish

it also implies there is an expiration date on a fic where it will get removed for its trad pub edition that you have to buy.

Another thing I hate is the lack of interaction with fics. All of my wips that I have finished or am doing have had one constant commenter and it’s a great source of motivation but if you don’t 1/2

People forget that the writers aren’t like regular content creators! The choice to read a fic isn’t a transaction anymore than the writer posting it The only thing owed is basic respect to all parties

As someone who has been in fandom spaces for over 20 years, there’s been a huge shift away from community in the way we engage with fandom as a whole and it’s very disheartening.

a huge downside of this road to publication mentality is that small fandoms can end up in a hamster wheel of ideas where everyone is only writing around a few specific dynamics or tropes

fandom is way more hostile too. I still post my fics but I dont connect them to my socials like I used to because honestly I dont want to be so accessible.

I think fandom moving to things like discords as well has hurt it. It's harder to find community, especially once the initial hype has worn out and you can't even find remnants of it. I miss the days

Yes! This! I’ve seen so many people say that most fanfic writers want to become trad published so they need feedback and “marketing” (aka people with large accounts marketing fanfic like books)

I’ve written fanfiction for years. I’ve also been a ghost writer for traditional and indie published fic. I write fanfiction for fun and have zero desire to be published ever after my experience

as a fan fiction writer, i do not want to publish ANYTHING. i always want my work to be free and easily accessible for people who want to enjoy it

I think that the loss of fandom specific spaces to gather also contributes. I wanted to dig into new fandoms recently I asked where they gathered like where the community was & was met w confusion.

This is why I heavily encourage positive comments on fanficion. I have a fic with 100 subscribers and I posted a 6k chapter 7 days ago and crickets… I’m used to it but like honestly treat fanfic +

Love your videos. As a fanfic writer and reader for over a decade, I NEED people to understand how much time, work and ENERGY goes into fanfic. Writing a 100k+ devastating, big trait change is HARD

I've been writing fanfiction for most of my life, and have had people ask when I'm going to produce a publishable original work and they're baffled when I say "Never." (1)

Too true. Fanfiction writer here. Not looking to be published, just wanna write about two people falling in love again and again and again.
