#the dp x dc fandom just feels like an easier way to get into it

[halfghostwriter]

Y’know something weird I’ve noticed? I’m way more confident writing DP x DC stuff than I am writing just DC stuff. I think it’s because the DP x DC fandom doesn’t really expect writers to have as much knowledge of both, so I don’t feel the same “can’t make any mistakes” feeling I get when I try to write DC fics. There’s just so much complex lore in the DC universe, from the comics to the shows, and a lot of it is different depending on what time period the stuff you’re reading/watching is from. I’ve never finished or even posted any DC stuff I’ve done cause I’m always worried that the lore I’ve learned from the shows and the lore I’ve learned from the comics will contradict each other or something, and I’ll get called out on it. There isn’t that same pressure when I’m writing for a subsection of the fandom that’s totally fine with inconsistencies and character rewrites

It’s really nice that everyone here is so nice

#dp x dc #DPxDC #also it’s super easy and fun to write just DP stuff because of how the fandom is but that’s another topic #I’m just always a little scared of some diehard dc fan coming after me for not knowing as much as the average superfan #I grew up watching Teen Titans and I’ve gotten really into the DCAU lately #plus I have a couple comic runs I’ve been reading #there’s just so much and it feels kind of intimidating #the dp x dc fandom just feels like an easier way to get into it #probably delete later
