This would go so hard in October, you've got nearly a year to work your way up to it!

Just having to navigate so much shit in this fandom (having to watch what I even bloody say in case it's designated Wrong Think) has made me feel like shit for a while tbh but at least I had fic, now I'm too sad about that to even have that part of fandom.

No it's ok, this is my issue not yours if you were meaning to comment (not that I'm going to hold anyone hostage!) I'm sorry my stupid brain has come in and undercut that.

I'll live in hope that maybe I'll put it back some day.

The first episode is very exposition heavy I thought, but I'm part way through S1 now and starting to really get into it (though there's a few time jumps making me go "...what?" when I forget there's been a time jump 😂)

I've not got to a scene like that yet 😂

I hope it passes for us too 🫂

And exactly on the feeling left behind. I feel like I straddle this weird line between people who were there for S1 and befriended me (and I love that) and people who actively joined for S2 like me and it's like I don't 100% belong with either sometimes.

If Melkor can ever be used in anything I'd rather a different actor tbh (I'm a bit "this isn't Doctor Who" lmao!) But I get why it's happening. Some of his scenes in Foundation are easy to edit in a clever way to make it look sorta First Age-ish.

I am enjoying the Empire clone story actually!

The kids do not know the horror of early fanfiction dot net and only one ship being tagged so you'd read a fic expecting that being the only ship and then get hit with your absolute NOTP being a major component.

If it's a major part of the story it can be tagged, and you can avoid it!

I'm having to get over my long-standing beef with Lee Pace 😂 He's not done anything wrong, it's just I was friends with someone who was OBSESSED with him in The Hobbit and it was so bad it annoyed me, therefore he annoyed me 😂

And I do still really appreciate it, more than I can put into words. I just hate that my brain is being the way it is ❤️

I love your art so much, you're very brave and fun with some of your choices as well! But you know from our conversation in my own mopey thread (not saying you're being mopey) that I understand completely about the void thing.

❤️🫂

I'm sorry you've been feeling this way as well ❤️. I know exactly what you mean about enjoyment. It's not enjoyable at the moment. It's extremely hard when the tags in some fandoms just move so fast and Idk about you but I feel like whenever I post, THE fic updates too - very bad timing every time.

Thank you Kyle Marie. I think I do need to try get myself out of this somehow.

It's just so hard, I thought I did everything right this time (pre-wrote most of it, had a release schedule, got a beta) and it did nothing. I'm so demoralised. Though I still cherish the art you did for me.

I've always known how I want to end Inferno but tbh I was struggling with how to connect the dots and hadn't tried to write the finale for some time because Hill House AU was where I put all my energy. Not had any new interactions on Inferno in weeks though + just didn't want to disappoint people.

I sat on Haunting for weeks and my enthusiasm just dipped with each chapter uploaded until it cratered. I wish the lack of attention compared to other fics hadn’t bothered me this much, but it did.

I don’t think I’ll write anymore but hopefully one day I can read you and others again.

Thank you for getting it. It’s very hard to navigate and I’m feeling less joy at the act of creating right now precisely because I feel like I’m not really getting the community side of things. We try to remind ourselves it’s about the writing but people reacting to our work is important sometimes.

(Probably does it about the orgasms as well tbh.)
