#technically it's multifandom if you take bits and pieces from each character/person... right?

A little side note to the tags I seem to be "clogging up"...

So I got an ask lately accusing me of "clogging up" fandom tags when I post original fiction. Now, I see the "problem". You expect to see your blorbo. Sure thing, I get it.

BUT

You never had the urge to broaden your horizon a little? To look beyond? If not, fine, you keep scrolling until you find the perfect post for your fandom needs, that's totally fine. (Just, maybe, don't let me know? Just block me or scroll past my post and be done with it? Would be so much less trouble!)

If you do not have a problem with one (1) weekly (!) post of mine on your favorite tag, then let me explain WHY I'm poking my head into all these different fandoms.

As I said, I write ORIGINAL FICTION, yes, but all my stories are inspired by the same people these tags are for! Bits and pieces of them, looks, voices, characteristics, dynamics, story elements, etc. I am a consumer too! I may not be an active part of your favorite fandom, but I'm a lurker, I see things as well, and I consume, and I ingest it all, and I chose to form all those different aspects into new characters.

For example: The Daddy character in my Dd/lg story LOST & FOUND sometimes looks like Pedro Pascal to me, sometimes like Jensen Ackles, (or any other tall, bearded man really), sounds like Simon Riley (without the accent) or Geralt of Rivia, is soft like Joel Miller or Arthur Morgan can be to their loved ones, has a dominant presence like Wolverine, or an intimidating one like Billy Butcher. Or any other male character (or person) I might have stumbled upon and deemed somewhat attractive and/or interesting.

(Same with female characters, of course, for example I do have a strong vibe towards Geralt and Yennefer when I imagine Mommy and Daddy, or maybe Joel and Tess, or other couples I've seen somewhere.)

I create with other things in mind, as writers do. We can't produce things out of an empty void.

Now, I also always keep my original characters vague, barely describe their physical appearances BECAUSE I want to speak to as many people as possible, because I want you, dear reader, to fill in the blanks. Sir from my other original fiction INFATUATED is another character I kept intentionally vague, he doesn't even have a name (spoiler: Daddy may or may not get one, just because it fits the story)!

You may think I'm trying too hard to appease everyone, but what if I am? I just want my stories to be read, and Tumblr is a fandom place, and original fiction has a really hard time finding potential readers. I also found it doesn't really matter who your characters are, how they look like, it's their actions that bring the story forward, and so I'm completely fine with the way I portray characters. And I really hope you are too.

Like I mentioned, I get the need to read stories about your favorite blorbo and their specific mannerisms and looks and whatnot, I was part of a fandom too once, I know the obsession, the hyperfixation, but I still ask you to be gentle with writers trying something different.

Don't go around bashing them because they don't write the way you want them to. Ignore, block, scroll away, it's so easy! Don't get riled up because your Reader-insert story doesn't portray how YOU are perfectly (because how could it? It's tailored to reach a wide audience and hmm, guess what, people are different, and sometimes, the Reader character needs to have some defining features or a backstory to bring the plot along), just immerse yourself in the story, have an open mind, let new things in.

I write for fun, I love writing, and I love sharing my stuff. I still get very anxious when I share it though, because there are so many people here, and when there are a lot of people, there will always be one or two who yell the loudest, and while I also get positive feedback, the negative one will always weigh more, unfortunately...

So what I am ranting/pleading/yapping on about is this: I apologize for "clogging up" your fandom tags with my weekly posts of original fiction. Please forgive me, but I will not stop. I spent so much time and energy writing these stories, and while I do write for myself, as they say, I still want what I created to be read and seen by others.

And thus far, it did work, people came and read and liked what I posted, and I am so grateful! (Thank you for giving me a chance, even if it's not what you were looking for!)

I just hope I can continue spreading my works with the means I used before without pulling the wrath of more people... I do not mean any harm. I keep my posts short (above the cut anyway). If the moodboard header isn't for you, I am sorry, but I want my posts to be somewhat aesthetically pleasing, and I will not use any of your blorbos, to keep it vague. Those pictures are just to set the tone, nothing more, no representation of the characters portrayed!

All I ask for is either your understanding or your ignorance (as in: ignore me pls). If you agree with me, thank you, if not, that's valid, but just know that every negative comment can cause any writer to stop creating something others enjoyed. We rise and fall with whatever feedback we're getting.

Please keep the negativity off my blog. This is for smut enjoyers, and smut is usually between two (or more) characters, and on this blog here, they can be anyone you choose - if you open your mind and allow yourself to fill in the blanks. If you need someone to tell you every single detail of your favorite blorbo to enjoy whatever is written, then you may just be at the wrong place. Kindly move on, and I hope you will find what you are looking for!

Thank you, again, to those who do support what I'm doing, who look past the tags, or are curious enough to venture into different realms, away from one specific fandom to the land of original fiction where anything goes. I'm happy you're here with me, thank you.
