Fanastraea - Astraea

almost to 2k on the vegaspete fic i've been working on, and i once again would like to express my admiration for literally all the authors i've ever read. idk how you guys do it i am shaking and crying over a one-shot 😭😭

How do fanfic writers feel knowing that people might have been masturbating to their work?

I got significantly less attention on the last fic I posted. Not a big deal, I wrote it because I wanted to and it included some things that are big turn-offs for some people. It just left me wondering if it was the content or a lull in fic reading because of everything going on. I guess I'll find out when I update one of my ongoing fics.

I'm still going as long as I continue to have time to write!

I don't write for engagement but it HELPS. A whole lot. It makes it so much more fun when it's about sharing with other fans. Especially in difficult times. If you want to keep reading fic, send some kudos and supportive comments to your favorite writers. 🙏

Rambling on the state of KinnPorsche fanfic

I think we've all seen it and felt it. The fanfic for KP is slower than it used to be. And that's not shocking given that we're so many months out from airing, plus recent scandals and the fact that no S2 was announced. We've all noticed that a handful of the best writers in the fandom are less active.

So why am I more enthusiastic about KP fanfic than ever? It's really, really weird, I know.

Thing is, there are still some amazing, high-quality fics coming out, and every now and then, a bunch of authors drop updates all at once, and suddenly there's this feast to glut myself on.

Not only that, but there's so much room left to explore, in canon and in AU. One weakness I feel like I've witnessed is that a lot of writers are exploring the same topics and themes. The result is a bit like an ongoing echo, but it also means there are many, many, many story possibilities that have barely been touched.

I feel like I'm playing a game, and huge areas of the map aren't unlocked yet. And it's not that hard to be the first one to open a new map, and that's exciting.

If there's one thing I'd like to encourage KP writers to think about, it's unlocking new territory. Take a look around and ask "what's missing?" Because let me tell you, there are PLENTY of gaps, and a lot of them could be a helluva lot of fun to write.

We ain't done yet!

@dramarec is right, i do deserve jail for one thousand years.
