LMAAAO pls buy a girlie dinner first 😘 ty for reading and making me laugh tho! Hope you're having a wonderful day over here too ^^

oh i didnt know the stats were like that, damnnn :')) ive been into fanfic/writing since i was a teen and its wiiiild to think of 1)how good we have with ao3 and 2)how mainstream fanfic/fandom in general got.

yeah... i agree abt it becoming too mainstream. There's always been Big Name Fans in every fandom since the dawn of fandom culture, but the commodification of it is a lot more prevalent than it used to be... i also feel like there's smth to be said about how the new-ish readers don't really know how to properly engage with the community, demanding more and more updates in a very short span of time - and sometimes eve going as far as feeding the fic into gpt or claude so it can be finished faster :')) im not that tapped into HR fandom but i do keep an eye on it, and it's a bit tragic how it became this poster child of all things bad in modern fandom. AI usage has spread thru most fandoms, but with the newer ones (like HR or the Pitt)/the ones that got a huge influx of normies (like stranger things for example, with the byler rush to publish a billion new fics in order to be top 1 ship) this issue becomes so glaring it's actually hard to find a good story to read :')) as with most things, COVID was what started the final erosion of fandom as we knew it, and i do hope we find our way back into a more... niche way to deal with fandom again. AI is a huge fucking issue, but so is the lack of a 4th wall separating us from the creators/actors/ccs/etc, or how fandom/fanarts/fanfics are now used as a marketing tool that execs have no shame exploiting

VAMOOOOOOS LATINOAMÉRICAAAAA (menos argentina)
