does anyone have a source material that they love writing for but just...hate their general fandom space?
i won't be dropping the actual fandom name, but i've been writing for this one fandom for...a decade now (damn) and i can't stop playing with these characters like a literary doll house. it's that kind of hyperfixation lol.
even so, i actually haven't posted anything for this fandom for...6 years because i think i was just so traumatized by some people being so mean to me in the comments out of a misguided understanding of "constructive criticism" and the general hate train of liking popular things.
i posted something again yesterday, to test the waters - in the hopes of possibly finding a way back into enjoying sharing my writing again to this group of people..and [red buzzer] not it.
don't get me wrong, some people are wonderful and have been incredibly sweet in the comments, but i feel like the bad actors are just inescapable in this specific fandom (i've been in other fandoms, and this is a very specific thing i've only experienced in this fandom - even my writer friends tell me this is not a thing for their fandoms.)
and before anyone calls me oversensitive, i just don't like the idea of dealing with annoying people lmao i'm sorry, i want my hobby experiences to be curated and free of drama.
