fwiw, I think a lot of people are hitting a post-6-month-of-COVID creative slump. I sure am. It's okay to be gentle and ease back your production for a while. Fandom is not going anywhere--it's okay to be a bit more of a content consumer for a while, if you want to--and if/when you feel the urge to create again, so many of us will still be here, eager to consume your content in turn. try to be gentle with yourself if you can! <3
yeah. i really should. but so much of my active focus on a topic is mediated by me actively creating stuff about it, so i suppose i’m also afraid of “taking a break” and then losing my passion for something i currently love all together, and never being able to get that back. i suppose losing my passion is also spooky to consider when SU is outright one of the few things that’s been keeping me existing on this planet for the past year. and like, i’m doing a bit better now, so no worries. but it’s scary imagining the possibility of falling into an inspiration vacuum. i feel like i’m going to be super, super picky about what pieces of fiction i consume from now on because this particular one hit home so deeply- so i likely wouldn’t be finding any new fandom homes quickly if i lost passion for SU
