Anakin is such a dumbass I can’t believe Obi Wan literally told him he knew that Anakin called Padmé and in rots Anakin STILL was all oh no I can’t tell him I can’t ask for his advice guess I’ll just go talk to the Chancellor and be really vague with Yoda!!!

Look. Look. Michael Shanks is a very handsome man so I can’t fault the galaxy’s taste. (Required disclaimer that I am a very subjective source on Stargate). But yes, there tends to be a character in sci-fi who always gets flirted with. In SG-1, it’s Daniel.

I don't know! When I look on AO3, it seems like there are certain fans who tend to only read there and aren't on tumblr. I also know there's a big contingent of fans on Twitter and a few other places, but post-revival I think activity is just scattershot. There's a WIP I'm reading on AO3 from someone who is not on tumblr, to my knowledge, and they get tons of comments daily (again, from names I do not recognize on tumblr). But I'm not sure why your older stuff doesn't get new commentary on AO3--maybe because you ARE such a known quantity that people tend to overlook the need to give feedback? Just riffing here.

Interesting!  I can’t imagine getting tons of AO3 comments on an XF fic at this point. Visitor got some, but not a huge number in the scheme of things considering it was kind of one of the few longer fics I knew of being written during the pre-revival drought.  Maybe the people who read my fic on AO3 and the people who read my fic on tumblr are a perfect circle when it comes to AO3 and they’ve said what they needed to say in the tags?  I don’t know!  Like I said, this post is just to think about things, not to ask for feedback or to criticize anybody for not commenting.

I've noticed this too in writing for new fandoms. Part of it might be less of a reputation built in different fandoms, but it's a lot harder to get fic circulating on tumblr outside of the x files fandom. Meanwhile the same fic usually takes off on ao3. It's interesting, and a little weird to get used to lol

Yeah, I’ve been in and out of a lot of fandoms.  What I’m surprised by is that my new fandom, where I’m not well-known, comments a lot more than my twenty-year fandom.  Different dynamics, I think.  If given a preference, I’d kind of rather have an AO3 comment than a tumblr tag.  Although I adore tumblr tags in all their delicious literal-subtext glory and the things that people say in them are incredible, they’re also a lot harder to find and re-read if you’re lazy like I am.  Also, AO3 comments show up directly in my email inbox, which is nice - half the time the tumblr activity page fritzes out and won’t show me any tags and I have to go look at the post directly.  They’re also easier for other people to see and agree with or evaluate whether they want to read the story (although please, for the love of little green apples, be kind in your bookmark tags, because authors can read them).

I think it keeps changing! I joined the fandom in 2015 and it still felt like a good mix of tumblr-ao3 at the time. But now it feels very tumblr heavy - I think because the newer fans do actually skew a lot younger. Gen Z has entered the chat, as it were!

I totally agree with you on the ST in general! I just have trouble with the fact that there’s a whole story group now and still the movies have no pre planned arc and are disjointed from each other but are expected to function as a trilogy. TLJ might have been written before and released after a lot of the supplementary stuff, but bc story group exists, I can’t help but feeling like things have to be more cohesive :/ still though, I do have to say I enjoyed both TFA and TLJ!
