I do agree with you. I don’t like fluff in the hannigram fandom. Maybe if it’s balanced with the darkness. It’s a dark fandom so people will be here for it. Not everyone thinks Hannibal is their uwu baby or shit

See it isn’t that I don’t like fluff? I write fluff! Fluff is my bread and butter. I just get that there are folks that miss the dark aspects of the fandom and don’t like the AUs that emphasize the fluff. People are allowed their own opinions. They are. I don’t get why someone generally speaking their opinion without calling anyone out is wrong? 

Yes we’re all one big Fannibal Family, but no one is anyone’s Gate Keeper. You can dislike something and express that. It doesn’t mean you’re shitting on everyone else’s right to like it? 

Guess what? People are allowed to miss the murderous and dark aspects of Hannigram. That’s a thing people are allowed to do. It’s not a crime to dislike fluff. 

It’s also not a crime to blog about it on their own tumblrs.

Does anyone else feel like, if they’re not putting out new fics at least once or twice a month, they’ll be forgotten? People have told me I’m ‘popular’ in the ship fandom I write for but it’s always other fics and authors I see getting talked about or linked when people ask for recs. So I keep feeling like people just forget my fics if I’m not constantly coming up with new ones.

i’ll just refer you to this post that phrases an answer better than I could. But in short: no, you won’t be forgotten.

Personally I know that there’s a lot of authors I don’t actively think about, until I get an e-mail in my inbox saying they’ve updated or published something, which is when I hop in glee. Sometimes a year pass in which I don’T think of them once, sometimes I even forgot the author’s name, but then I go check their stories and remember “Aaaah yes it’s this one, that story was a ride, I’m curious what they wrote now”.

So yes, don’t worry too much.

Random Fandom Trivia

giveusalol:

The terms MOTW (Monster of the Week) and UST (Unresolved Sexual Tension) were coined by the X-Files online fandom.

They are now used not just in wider fandom, but as meta terms in general television, including by tv writers themselves.

The X-Files also gave us the COTR (Conversation on the Rock). It references a scene wherein the two main characters have a deep conversation pertaining to their psychology and development as characters. The conversation only comes about because they are stranded and isolated on a rock surrounded by water.

While the term has faded outside the X-Files fandom, the tv trope of isolation + revelation references the COTR heavily. The fandom trope of isolation + revelation is even more widespread. Are your characters locked in a closet? trapped in an elevator? snowed in in a cabin, Canadian shack or a cave? caught injured in building rubble? Are they having a frank conversation about how they consider the other and/or themselves? If so, it’s a COTR.

“oh cool, what’s it about?”

“…uh…”

“can i read it?”

I will never not reblog this

“what’s it called?”

“I don’t know I just randomly clicked on it!”

I LOVE HOW ACCURATE THIS IS.
