tbh i find it incredibly disheartening how many people run blogs for specific fandoms but only reblog gifsets, edits, fanart, and maybe the occasional funny text post. like youre missing something very vital to the fandom experience yall
#taylor.txt#not really at anyone in particular ive just observed this for like. the past 6 years lol#the people who rb fanfiction…are the same people who write it#i mean i get it. a lot of people dont read fanfiction. but if you read something - it fits your fandom - and you like it. well#maybe worth thinking on why you choose not to put it on your blog idk#but i get it. we all have aesthetics. i personally dont care but it does feel like a double standard tbch#not fishing for rbs btw LOL i thought about it because yeah i posted a fic but like uh#i post fics on here almost every day when im active so thats kind of a moot point lol#im just OBSERVING. to all the fic writers out there i love u keep winning my lieges#oh and like tangentially related but - funny how on tumblr i gained the label of content creator after i started making gifs even though#i have like 1 500 000 words of fanfiction written and posted 100% available on the exact same blog#but i get fic requests more than gif requests so id like to believe that means the people who follow me think of me as a writer at least#its literally not deep at all but it is a real trend tbh. we dont value literature. culturally. its far deeper than fandom#and its very sad. it makes me terribly terribly sad. knowing that my uni’s english department shrinks each year; seeing authors screwed over#again and again by publishing companies and consumers alike and then of course - why read books when fanfic is free?#but we dare not tell fanfic writers we love their work. we dare not presume that we can follow their original works if they have them. that#we can tip them and commission them and support them so they can continue to write the things we love. the trend is there#i see it everywhere. literature is my hobby its my career its my everything. i see it. it makes my heart ache#but ! i cant make other people do anything. i can just remind them perhaps. that writing is art too. and its hard to do it well#but our world - never mind fandom - would really be nothing without it. just my two cents in any case#really its tumblr though so again. not that deep. but worth analyzing perhaps
