Where Do You Connect With Your Fandom?
Where Do You Connect With Your Fandom?
Or are you like me and (for the most part) don't?
I have one community which is on Discord I take part in on occasion. It's nice with the occasional fandom event, like my upcoming rarepair week. Yet I don't have a lot of places where I can talk about my preferences for my fandoms outside of the comments on my fics.
You're viewing a single thread.
used to lurk in a variety of subreddits (most notably kirby and deltarune)! and now i'm actively participating in !kirby and to a lesser extent !deltarune. well, not as much in the past few days due to being busy with other stuff
Are those communities welcoming to fanfiction writers/readers? I know in places like Reddit, some people couldn't mention fanfiction in their fandom communities, because some were rather aggressive against the hobby.
neither community is particularly active. in c/kirby, i'd say there's only two people, including me, who regularly post or comment. i've posted two fanwork-y things to c/kirby; the first wasn't very well received for some reason, the second was reasonably well received. so i don't really know! they're not really big/active enough communities to have a specific stance on fanfiction, i think
but if c/kirby gets more active, i'll do my part in fostering a welcoming spirit towards fanfiction!
(...i know that r/kirby wasn't particularly fond of shipping, as far as i could tell.)
