Asking for a friend who just posted a clexa story on ao3 and isn't getting a lot of hits, etc., like they did before. Is the Clexa fandom dead? If so, what killed it?

I don’t know what your friend considers to be an indicator of good engagement but while the fandom isn’t dead, it has shrunk considerably.

It’s the natural order of things really, especially when there are new shows and shiny new pairings popping up all the time (everyone on my dash seems to have a heavy fixation with Arcane right now). Engagement is lower because many people have moved on and probably don’t read as much—or any—Clexa fic these days, although they might make exceptions for favourite writers.

That’s not to say there aren’t diehard devotees still around - we see you and we love you! But it is harder to reach an audience as a writer now. You have to do self-promotion on tumblr and hope that some popular blogs rec your stuff. Since tumblr is such a visual medium, fics are far more likely to be reblogged and gain traction if they include a moodboard or edit as well as a compelling summary or teaser/excerpt (but this won’t automatically translate to kudos on AO3, much less comments). Posting snippets, headcanons and extras gets readers more invested and can build a following for multi-chapter fics, especially. So while there are some tools at your friend’s disposal to help generate interest in their fic, they’re probably not going to see the same level of engagement as when the fandom was at its peak circa 2015-2018 aka the golden age of Clexa :’)

A year ago i started writing this story after impulsively quitting my job(In the middle of a pandemic) and i regretted it so much afterwards but it was too late. Quarantine was still in full command and i barely left my house not even to get fresh air. I would wake up at noon after not being able to go to sleep until 5 am and life felt pointless. i had no where to go and nothing to do and not soon after i developed a eating disorder, i’ve never said that out loud but it’s true. i wouldn’t eat and if i did it would be cheez its and juice and i lost over twenty pounds which doesn’t sound like a lot but regularly i am about 130poudns. I have been writing fanfiction since about 2016 and Because of you was the first new story i wrote since. it gave me a reason to wake up and the comments gave me a reason to smile. I am so happy i decided to write this story cause without it i was miserable. If you read this story THANK YOU! Seriously i cannot express how much it meant to me to wake up to the emails saying i had comments and Kudos. This fandom is one of the best things to happen to me and i’m so thankful it exists!

Clexa fandom!

Hey, I’ve been making a ton of pages about the Clexa fandom on Fanlore because the fandom is awesome and should be documented. If you’re not familiar with Fanlore, it’s essentially a fandom history wiki by the Organization for Transformative Works (the same group that owns and runs AO3).

One of the pages I created https://fanlore.org/wiki/LGBT_Fans_Deserve_Better is currently featured on the Main Page of the site.

It’s a wiki meaning anyone can edit/create new pages. So if you’re interested, please help me document the Clexa fandom! I’ve created pages for fanfiction like Lover In Low Light, Lightning Only Strikes Once and the recently published Clexa goes to Hollywood, fanweeks like Clexa Week and Clexmas, and even memes like Chip!Lexa, Fish the Dog, and Clexa Pick Up Lines. You can find all the pages under The 100 category, but there’s still a lot of Clexa fandom history missing!

Everything But Love

Fingers go the deepest they can. Hips the slowest that clamouring heartbeats will allow. Their bodies join as one in mutual expansion and contraction. A union unlike others. Sunken in full knowledge of a tethering reciprocity. Where one leads, the other follows. Hands and mouths find their echo with each stroke and kiss and stretch of name.

Songs for ITALAIT

(Goes with: General theme)

Hi everyone. This is a very special song for ITALAIT. It’s written by the talented Taylah, who you all might know as @radio-dreams​, the artist who writes original songs for Clexa and the 100. She is also a reader of ITALAIT and was kind enough to let me know that ITALAIT inspired her to write this song. I have her permission to share with you all, so hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I did. It’s brilliant; she’s brilliant; go listen to all of her stuff. Thanks!

Love From, Me by Taylah (@radio-dreams)

So we go down this road but it’s too long. There’s no street lights and my headlights won’t turn on. We’re driving blind, we’re driving blind, And if we crash, I can’t call you this time.

I feel the already changing winds, Carrying, carrying the whispers of our sins. There’s no stop signs in your eyes, Just painted green lights, waiting for another surprise.

Oohhh

I forget, sometimes it’s not enough, To love someone and to fall into their touch. There’s no tears in this goodbye, But there’s tears in the words that I write.

For you, I write. For you, I write. Love from, me. (x6)

And it’s the last words I’ll send to you. And it’s everything I wish I could have told you. I carve your name into these sheets, To remind the lovers that I keep.

For you, I write. For you, I write. Love from, me. (x6)

This fic is not very good but I somehow ended up reading 21 chapters of it so now I have to finish: a biography

#clexa fanfic #clexa #clarke x lexa #clexa fandom

[clexaficquote]

Lexa Ascending: A Prequel

Unfinished but not unloved.

Every inch of her hurt. The crushed fingers on her left hand. The shallow but dirty cuts across her shoulder blade, down her forearm. The skinned knees and scraped palms. The deep ache in her legs reminding her that she had fought hard for what had felt like a long time. Days. Years. But it had only been hours. From one opponent to another. From one brother, one sister, one lukot, to another. They were gone. She was all that was left.

Art by the amazing @thasbians

Alright dear friends, I’ve made peace with the fact that I’m never going to finish this fic, but the @goodintentionswipfest​ has given me the motivation to post it all anyhow.

I actually really love this story, but I just can’t seem to summon the atmosphere of it again. I’ll post all six chapters on AO3 over the course of the next two weeks, through October 31.

Click here to read. Thanks for taking a chance on a forever unfinished WIP.

Day 1: Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice 

Pumpkin patches, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin carving, pumpkin spice candles, pumpkins! 

Do Clexa brush hands as they reach for the perfect pumpkin in a pile of pumpkins? Does Clarke mercilessly tease Lexa for her exorbitant candle obsession but finally give in when she stumbles across the decadent scent of pumpkin spice candles? Is Lexa a barista who makes the best pumpkin spice latte on the planet and Clarke just has to stop by every day, for the latte of course, not the alluringly hot girl making it?
