Finally! I've Finished The Artwork For The End Of Chapter 3: This It Is And Nothing More Of My Fanfiction
Finally! I've finished the artwork for the end of Chapter 3: This it is and nothing more of my fanfiction "Firebird" on AO3!
I should be working on the next chapter soon after this unplanned hiatus.

Capricorns are bitter, reserved and cold, but who can blame us
More zodiac stuff will slowly appear, check out pisces and libra so far
My brother asked me to draw most of his favourite anime characters...so, here it is. I am finally done. It took me way to long.
I am not sure though, if I can name every character xD
as the crazy person with over 3,000 fics on AO3, who just hit over 2,000,000 hits, i have done... The Math
roughly 5% of readers leave kudos.
0.27% of people leave a comment.
truly, i GET that a lot of people, especially younger people who grew up on youtube and are living on tiktok, see "opening the page and viewing with their eyeballs" engagement in itself. but a) it's not, for fanfiction, that's not how it works; and b) "engagement" does not build a community -- interaction builds a community.
if you like someone's fanfiction, and you want more of that fanfiction, please react to it in some tangible way. leave a kudo. leave a comment. let the writer know that you didn't open it, see the first sentence, and decide it was garbage. let the writer know that you aren't a bot that trawls every webpage for AI content. let the writer know that their work is appreciated.
the point of fandom is to be a community, not a content engine. if people stop feeling like people are being reached with their work, they stop creating work for that fandom and move onto the next. there's a lot to be said for the way binge-model TV is killing fandoms prematurely... but there's a LOT to be said for the way infinite-scrolling consumption is killing fandoms prematurely.
if everyone binges a show on friday and feels weird about reacting to fics posted longer than a week ago/doesn't react to the fics they read at all, that fandom is dying out in about a month, max. even though there are probably a lot of people who would love to discuss it with someone or create more work or finish and post a WIP or whatever. because no actual community is created by consumption alone.
reading a fic is only step one.
reacting to a fic is the crucial step two of the equation.
step three is the fandom proliferating! and you getting more stuff to enjoy!
podcasts are great because it's like having a friend tell you about their day while you're doing the dishes but instead it's a bunch of guys running around and experiencing the horrors
