this blog is on hiatus while i step away from that 70s show to sort through my personal feelings and decide how/if i want to continue engaging with it.
i have felt disconnected from the fandom for a long time now (mostly for personal reasons, but partly influenced by the masterson trial and other issues with the show/cast.) until the sentencing and letters of support came out, i was still working on "perfect matches burn" and another fic i've had on the back burner. a part of me still connects deeply with this show. it was a comfort during a difficult period in my life, and bizarrely, it was the catalyst for coming out to myself as gay. i'm still proud of the queer genderbent AU fics that i've put so much time and love into. and i'm grateful to everyone who has read, commented and connected with me over them.
i do believe in separating the art from the artist, and enjoying media while being critical of it. i do not think badly of anyone continuing to be active in the t7s fandom. i don't think fandom has much or any impact when it comes to things like this, especially considering it's such a small fandom, and this show has been out for over 20 years. posting about t7s and writing fics is not going to send droves of new people to stream the show and fatten up these actors' residuals. it's not that deep.
that being said, my personal enjoyment of t7s has been impacted by everything that's happened, so i'm choosing to step away. i'm not sure if or when i'll come back. if you're seeing this because you've read my fics, thank you and i love you and please take good care. <3
