You're not the only one who feels that way. I think some authors leverage what popularity they have so much more. I didn't realize a lot of people expect replies to their comments until I saw someone post that they wouldn't comment on a fic until they saw the author replying to other comments. If it helps, though I'm not in the BSD fandom and can't comment on your fic, I am AMAZED by the volume and quality of fic you produce. But I get it; it sucks writing into a void.

Hey nice to meet you fellow Kaiba lover ;)

6. Favorite fic (or one of them)?

Eeek I’ve got so many! I just mentioned two great fic writers on my previous asks @nofearofwaves https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7984216/1/World-Under-Siege is one of my all time faves but I don’t know if you’d be into that fandom and pairing...

Not sure if you are into Azureshipping either so I don’t want to mention any of them in case..

This one you might like - it’s gen and Seto centric. I really liked it because it was IC and actually focused on aspects of his character - the piloting and scientific engineer side - that rarely gets proper attention. Seeing the whole series as hints in Seto from this minor character’s perspective is really unique and interesting - 

OMG! Can I just say you are my very first anon! I think?? I joined back in 2013 and had a very up and down relationship with Tumblr due to a toxic fandom at the time so I switched off anons very quickly. Anyway my first anon for a long time, so hey and thank you for your questions!

Hmm...Good questions but hard to answer.

3. Favorite fandom?

I don’t really have one as I have so many. I am enjoying parts of the Yu-Gi-Oh fandom rn,  I just wish the Azureshipping section was larger. But what we do have is great and supportive. That’s generally been my experience as I tend to be into crack or pairings/ characters that aren’t as popular. The MadaMito/Founders section in the Naruto fandom in 2012-14 was where I met some of my favourite people @noldien, @fireeaglespirit (who I miss desperately) and through her later @viviane-lefay , @mikeilo, @renaerys, @chattegeorgiana and others. They are so talented and supportive and I love what we made of a small crack-ship and the potential of the wonderful character Mito Uzumaki. 

5. Favorite fic author?

Very very hard to chose, I’ve read such amazing stories across different fandoms, some I can’t remember the authors’ names from my lurker days esp in the Naruto fandom, others I’m now (luckily) friends with. Also there are so many different types of fic...but...

I’d say @nofearofwaves and @renaerys (I cheated - there are two!)

@nofearofwaves wrote one of the best fanfics I’ve ever read - if you are into the Marvel Cinematic Universe esp Lokane (Jane Foster x Loki) READ ‘World Under Siege’. So well written, paced and developed and one of the best enemies to allies/lovers/angst/heroines x villains I have ever read. So good. I found it at a very hard time in my life and it showed the power great story can have in dark times. She has written in other fandoms too - all great stuff and does amazing critical supportive analysis of female characters. Plus she’s a lovely person - if you aren’t following her - do it now!

@renaerys is another incredible writer who also shares my penchant for sexy bad guys and feisty heroines that don’t take no sh*t. Her Naruto fanfics are incredible and her MadaMito and SasoSaku fics were inspirational for me. I took several things from getting to know @renaerys in 2013 and these were - being fearless in your love for crackshipping, the wonder of a good meta and the joy and importance of developing both your world AND your characters. She, like @nofearofwaves, really focuses on developing her female characters and I LOVE that. She also gave me an appreciation for minor characters and random pairings I wouldn’t have thought of. @renaerys also encouraged me to join tumblr (I still don’t know whether to thank her for that or not lol ;)) She widened my appreciation of fandom itself, and given fandom and Fan Studies is now a major part of my life that I am grateful for!

9. What is the longest fic you’ve read?

Oooh couldn’t say but I’ve def read things of 30+ chapters. If it’s good gimme allllll the slow burn, character arc and build up! 

36. Do you like crossovers? If so, favorite crossover?

I was originally biased against crossovers and am now more open to them, esp since writing my own work and having a writers group I realised how much books are in fact a huge pile of crosscovers and influences! I haven’t really read many but the ones I think would appeal most are if the worlds or characters are compatible in some way. Like the videogames DMC and Resident Evil as DMC started out as a RE game.

I also read a great crossover of Sherlock Holmes solving a huge fandom mystery in the Wheel of Time verse and it was perfect.

Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade?

That is hard… I think I’ll go with Hogsmeade. Seems like one of those cute little Christmas card towns (I seriously love those a lot) and I’d love to try a real butterbeer. 

Your wand?

According to Pottermore, pine wood with a phoenix feather core 12 1/2′’ with rigid flexibility.

 Favorite Hogwarts class?

This has kind of been my answer to anyone who wishes for more free time, but have you looked into ESL teaching? I don't know if you're a native speaker or not, but even so, you can get a low hassle job with your expenses paid! I only "work" about 5 hours a day. Sorry for sounding like an infomercial, but it's a nice gig!

What’s a fanfic idea you haven’t done yet?

I currently planning to write a Lokane A/B/O fic, because I’m shocked that no one has done it before (at least as far as I know).  It’ll also be the first of it’s kind that I’ve ever done.  That’ll be exciting.

What’s the fic you like the least?
