what am i still doing here?

To keep your stuff from being scraped by / remixed with AI.

I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.

Fandom is not trends.

Fandom is a cross between a library and having a slumber party with your friends.

Oui Obelix tape sur des militaires, mais Gaston met la misère à Longtarin de la circulation tous les jours.

Et en faisant passer des messages importants en plus ! Il combat les parcmètres avec des plantes et est soutenu par les ecolos de la ville !

Et ! Il va aux manifs et aide les animaux du Zoos à se sentir moins à l’étroit dans leurs enclos.

Gaston c’est une icône anti-establishment, qui n’a jamais travaillé une seconde de sa vie pour le Grand Capital (oui, il est employé dans une énorme boîte, MAIS il n’y a jamais travaillé).

Votez Gaston.

En plus Obélix est complexé par le fait d'être souvent relégué au second plan, ça lui ferait plaisir de la gagner, celle-là

Et puis vous avez vraiment envie qu'Idéfix soit triste ?

Obélix, c'est un mec, son hobby dans la vie c'est taper sur des flics, il vous faut quoi de plus ?

it’s not weird to love it and comment and leave kudos because the author will probably still see it someday and it will make them happy.

it’s not weird to like said author’s work so much that you want to go look for other fics from them.

it’s not weird to go through the authors profile and look for other fics from the ships you like (or maybe some that you’ll give a chance because you liked the author) and maybe bookmark them for later.

it’s not weird to read these other fics and like them too and comment on them because you actually like them and you want to let the author know.

it’s not weird to read fanfiction from 5, or 8, or 10 years ago and actually enjoy and engage with it because it’s perfectly normal to relate to something that’s less than a decade old!

let’s stop treating fanfiction like they’re instagram posts that stop being interesting in 24 hours! fanfiction is NOT social media, fanfiction is art!!! and art doesn’t get old in one day, one year, or even a decade!
