I know this also happened to other people, and it really made me mad as hell. So I’ll vent my frustration here, and then you can tell me if this has also happened to you.
So I’ve recently joined a fandom that is relatively new, and there is this one particular ship that has me obsessed (currently, I’m working on a playlist about them😭). So, naturally, I went to AO3 to read more about them. The first fic I read was good and quite cute, and it left me with the feeling of wanting more. BUT the next one I read is easily one of the best I've read in a while on AO3. So good that it’s been some days and I can’t stop thinking about it. The story and the dynamic within the character is so good, so accurate, that it feels like something that maybe could have happened. It’s like something I could have also written.
The thing is that now I don’t have the energy to read another fic because I don’t believe that other authors can get close to what I experience. Maybe in the future this emotion will calm down and I’ll enjoy other fics, but for now I can’t.
Quite frustrated because this usually doesn’t happen to me very often.
