#maybe it has something to do w prongsfoot being a relatively small ship
Note
Hi!! This might be a silly question and I’m definitely not trying to be rude but I was curiously if you’re still writing Lethe? I only ask because you’re captain of the prongsfoot ship these days and I know that losing interest in an old ship can put the breaks on a fic. No pressure either way, I’m just curious!
Hii! Thanks for the message anon, I appreciate it. And no issues with the question at all.
Honestly, it's not about the ship - I'm generally a multishipper and have no issue writing several dynamics at once, and Jegulus will always have a soft spot in my heart. It's more about the fandom. The Jegulus fandom had lots of... issues, when I was working on Lethe, both with some of the readers and within the writers themselves. It did not feel like a community, which is what I'm looking for in fandom before anything.
I wish I could be one of those people who says "i only write for myself", but if that was true, i would just keep my drafts unedited in my doc storage. But I polish and publish them because I enjoy feedback and interaction. The Prongsfoot fandom provided that like no other HP corner I was in, both when it comes to feedback on my writing and interaction between authors here and on Discord. It feels nice, people get along, people support each other, and it makes me want to write more for it.
Lethe is a story I care about very deeply, I have tons of future chapters and scenes written ahead and so many things planned that I can not wait to get back to <3 So I will finish it either way at some point because I've put too much effort and thought into that story to leave it unfinished, but without that sense of community it just might take much longer.
