am more often than not keyboard smashing over Yunho in my stories on the latter. I am very chatty, so feel free to hop into my DMs or replies. I do take video topic requests still, but I can no longer guarantee getting around to them with my health the way it is now 🥲. Welcome 🥰

I've seen two writers announce indefinite breaks or full-on departures from writing in their fandoms today. Its so upsetting to see this happen :( I'm still trying to sort out all of my thoughts on the reasons people are leaving fandoms like this, but I have so many.

My beef with the founders aside, the brand really is a perfect match for San style wise. Like it's rediculous how well it suits him.

I also think a lot of the discourse type posts or PSA posts could actually be handled in DMs amongst friends so as to follow "don't like, keep scrolling/block" etiquette. Not everything needs to happen publicly on the tl in town crier fashion.

or something). Things that could potentially fix this include: 1- going back to "don't like, don't read/keep scrolling/block and move on" and 2- if you must do discourse, having context with every thread about it so people don't need to dedicate 16 hours of sluething to figuring out what happened.

and leaving encouraging, positive, appreciative comments and understanding writers have lives. And all of this compounds to fandom writing/art spaces being extremely high stress, low reward and almost impossible to enjoy. It's so frustrating. I can't even blame people for leaving.

There's so much to unpack here. There's the way so many new fans, young and old, make it their mission to be extremely aggressive towards fanfic writers. Like the hostility levels are frightening. Then there's the readers who are super entitled and beg for updates constantly or get mad a +
