🔥 fandom

I find myself missing the days where fandom was a private experience more and more, by which I mean to say: I miss the concept of "friends only" journals and blogs. I miss when the pace of the Internet and therefore also fandom was slower. I miss when memes stayed relevant for months if not years. I miss when a new person entered fandom and everyone and their grandmother would outdo themselves trying to befriend them. I miss the community feeling of fandoms where you were almost proud to be a "contributing member" whether that was as a writer, a reader, an artist, an extremely cool contributor with other crafts, or a supportive friend.

I absolutely hate huge Discord servers where things are so busy and nothing stays on topic for long, and someone is always spamming @ everyone and there are so many people you can't form a bond with any of them. I hate how posting anything in fandom now is posting it publicly; it's no longer some fun write-up you did for your friends but something you have to also check over to make sure it's suitable for the entire fandom to read.

I hate how fandoms in general have moved away from giving creatives feedback on their art, especially authors. There are more people reading fanfiction than ever before but almost no one comments, not even to just say thanks, not even in some larger fandoms. This goes right back to missing the community feeling of fandom. I understand wanting easy rebloggable content, and I very much get having almost nothing in the proverbial tank at the end of the day to say witty things, but if you read something and you enjoyed it: say so.

I think people have forgotten that fandom, and sharing creative works with fandom, is a social experience, and this gets truer and truer the older you are and the better your craft gets. You don't get good, solid writers in fandom by ignoring them. They cannot thank you for your kudos. They certainly cannot thank you for your silence. If we were all after money we would strive to write professionally. If we we wrote merely for ourselves we would let our stories rot on our hard drives. Writers in fandom are looking to share and socialize with an audience. That has been the backbone of fandom and all creation in fandom for as long as fandom has been around.

And it feels very much like that is slipping away into anonymous obscurity where nobody wants to take the time to make a connection—however fleeting.

And then people wonder why their favorite authors stop writing. They legitimately do not understand! They express sadness. But when you go look at the stories they're sad about losing, they never took the time to even give the author one word of encouragement, and no writer writes forever for free.

Fandom has always been a delicate balancing act of those who make gifts and those who take them. The thing about taking a gift, though, is that you say thank you for it, and in fandom spaces giving thanks functions as a link. It's what keeps things balanced. It's what spurs further creation and further thanks. On and on, back and forth.

In recent years, with the Internet moving so fast and fandom along with it, we've lost those slow and meaningful connections.

Take heed:

You cannot marvel in the halls of creation for all eternity without giving something back. Eventually the walls and shelves will be bare and there will be nothing new to behold.

Fandom PSAs

Dont’ Like, Don’t Read

or DL; DR

You are responsible for curating your own online experience.

If something upsets you, makes you angry or queasy or triggers you, stop reading/looking at it. Avoid things that might make you feel that way.

Learn to use the Sort and Filter function on AO3, especially the Exclude tools.

On social media, block and mute accounts / tags / words when necessary.

If you hated something, you don’t need to tell that to the creator or start pointing fingers at them publicly.

The Back button is free. Use it.

Addendum:

Yes, for this to work, creators need to tag their works accordingly, so that people know what sort of content they are about to engage with and can nope out if necessary.

I will probably make another PSA about the importance of proper tagging later.

Ship And Let Ship

or SALS

You are allowed to ship whatever you want.

Everyone else is also allowed to ship whatever they want.

You are entitled to dislike or even hate a ship. If you want to do this online, in public, don’t use the ship tags for hate posts.

If you see someone posting about a ship they like and you don’t, there is no need for you to start arguing with them in their replies / comments / QRTs / reblogs. Don’t throw your hate in their face.

Do not harass fan creators or fans for shipping something you disapprove.

All of this also applies to liking / disliking an individual character.

Addendum:

”I agree with this, except when…”

No, then you are NOT agreeing with this.

Let me make this VERY clear. There are NO exceptions. None.

You don’t EVER harass real people over pixels.

If you disagree with this, kindly block and move on.

Your Kink Is Not My Kink

or YKINMK / YKINMKATO

The longer version is ”Your Kink Is Not My Kink And That’s Okay”.

People have different tastes. Not everything is for everybody.

Even if you don’t like a specific kink, other people are still allowed to use it in their creations.

You are entitled to dislike kinky content and think that it’s ”weird”.

Don’t kink shame or judge people based on their kinks.

This goes both ways: your kink is not someone else’s kink, so don’t push it onto those who are not into it.

Be Kind

or Don’t Be An Asshole

Focus on the things you like instead of the things you hate.

Create and unite instead of destroying and dividing.

Don’t harass real people over fictional things.

Stop stirring up petty drama just to get some attention on social media.

Stop trying to ”win”. Fandom is not a competition.

Remember that your own experiences aren’t universally shared. Your perception of things can differ from someone else’s, but that doesn’t mean either of you is necessarily wrong.

[sophronist]

There is something so amazing about receiving an email informing you that someone has left a comment on your fanfic. It’s like, “Brain Secretary cancel my next appointment, I need to read this at least ten times and bask in the feelings of validation.”

PARSE ERROR – COMING MARCH 9

by Team #14 (@dead-cowboy, @sophronist and @punkascas) for @codywanbigbang.

gif ID for mobile, 252 word snippet and additional info under the cut

Today Obi-Wan watches Naberrie at work. Naberrie is dedicated, meticulous and solely focused on his tasks. Each motion has been repeated, learned by heart and honed as a reflex over and over and over. From what Obi-Wan could gather, Naberrie’s last year has been mainly centered around training for their expedition. He’s been formed in various fields with a panel of carefully picked experts: he’s learned the steps, prepared for the unexpected, amassed a copious amount of knowledge no other Human could easily achieve in very little time, and he will do what an entire set of men is expected to do on his own.  COMPOR calls it “clone efficiency”. Years ago it used to rally the hearts of distraught Republic citizens to the war effort; now it’s a testament of the utility of clones. The propaganda is continuously evolving, sometimes headed to benefit the Republic, other times to steer clear of public discontent. Commander Cody of the 501st has spent half of his life being a model, an example, and a reassurance—and seeing him at work does confirm the saying. This morning is devoted to setting up the Durian spectrometer. Obi-Wan has a vague understanding of its purpose; it's about cosmic ray events, and it has nothing to do with Ahsoka-4 on its own, rather its exotic location. That’s pretty much all he knows. He's not sure he wants to know more about it, but he does want to ask Naberrie nonetheless. It might be curiosity—both about the setup and the setter.

Many, many thanks to my artists, Kat and Lou, who are doing an amazing job ♡

[ GIF ID: GIF illustrating two backlit people sitting in the forefront. They're a little bit see through; they're watching a dark green landscape made of oranged-lined valleys and peaks that are modelled on sound recordings. Above them there is a starlit sky with a humongous red moon presiding. A blue circle surrounds the moon, along with purple light that shifts like soundwaves. The title 'parse error_' is written in front of the moon; the underscore flashes every second, like a terminal waiting for instructions. / END ID]

One And The Same by @elthadriel

Star Wars. Bly/Cody/Fox, Bly, Cody, Fox. Tags: Injury Recovery, Developing Relationship, Making Up Cadets, Planet Kamino, Implied/Referenced Sex, they’re all idiots your honour.

“Have you spoken to Fox?” Bly asks. Cody’s mouth twitches and he lashes out at the punching bag, form slipping. If the sloppy punch hurts he doesn’t show it, but he does hit it again, form tighter but with no less aggression. “Me neither,” Bly admits, but unlike Cody, he’d tried. Fox has been avoiding everyone, and Bly isn’t sure he blames him. It had been at least as much Cody’s fault as Fox’s, but Fox hadn’t been the one to almost die.

Star Wars and DC. Jason Todd, Boba Fett. Tags: Ambiguous/Open Ending, Bounty Hunters, Unresolved Tension.

Boba’s target has holed up in the ruins of a Jedi temple, and Boba can’t get in without someone to open the way.

Fox can't deny that the attention from Fives and Echo has been good for him, like the first steps on newly splinted broken legs: painful in a bone-deep way that feels like it'll never fade.

Today was good. No angry customers, no more panic and screaming than usual, no terrible accident. And then they had beers and chocolate cake and everyone looked tired but happy, Ebra basically falling asleep standing up. So Carmen sent them all home, said he’d finish up, good job everyone, see you tomorrow. They all listened. Well, all except one.

“Cody,” the cadet interrupts, and for a second Ordo thinks it’s another botched attempt at Mando’a. “You couldn’t keep your eyes off me,” Cody continues. “Angling for a tumble with a redshirt?” Ordo gapes for a second at Cody’s brazenness. “I don’t fuck brothers,” Ordo spits. He’s heard about the rank and file fucking each other, but he expected shame and secrecy, not a proud announcement that he was a brotherfucker.

Sev and Niner's squad gets separated on Kashyyyk and the forest around them doesn't seem to keen on them. They do get lucky in one respect, though, gaining the help of an odd guide to get back to the imperial base.

Cort's resigned to the kind of relationship that he and Jango have instead of the one he wants. Jango seems happy with it, too. This doesn't mean he shouldn't have been a bit more circumspect.

The Marshal Commander of the 7th Sky Corps is being assigned field command aboard Kenobi’s flagship. From there, he’s expected to run the fleet and keep them all from crashing and burning in a heap of expensive, wasted duraplast and genetic rubble. Seventeen knows this because, against all very good advice and despite many dozen filed complaints, he is still acting commander to the 212th. And now he’s just been made Idiot-Fresh-From-The-Core Babysitter. Again. If only he got paid for any of this.
