“why would you write fics for small, unpopular fandoms? you’re not gonna reach that many hits in fandoms not many people know about” ?? because I’m not writing fics for hits or kudos, I’m writing them for me because these characters are my blorbos and I have so many ideas, so much thoughts about them that my brain might explode if I don’t write them out.

does anyone actually ask that question, lol

anyone who’s in fandom knows we don’t write for the attention

we LIKE the attention if we get it of course

but if we were writing FOR the attention, solely for the attention, like a chore, a means to a goal, without any passionate inner demons driving us… then we’d pick something we could make fuckin money writing
