hi hope you dont mind me asking, but that fic of yours... pluvophilia? is it still ongoing or was it discontinued?
I don't mind anon (though I'm sorry, I didn't see this ask before so I have no clue how old it is!!) I'm on the fence about Pluviophilia at the moment, esp because I've decided to adapt it into a standalone novel. The ending is outlined already, but I recently updated it on AO3 and got zero comments, so I'm feeling like it maybe isn't worth the effort, you know? Not to mention with the ending of snk, my feelings about the main ship of pluviophilia have died a little :/ imo it was lazy writing, and we never really got full confirmation of those nuggets of character we were promised in the beginning. Just drama and shock. So it lacked emotional weight for me, and idk, my interest in the characters died a bit.
That all being said, again, I've written more than I've posted with Pluvio, and again, the outline and ending are already complete. I just need a show of interest to justify my putting in the time and effort of finishing it, bc at this point it'd be for yalls sakes, as last year, I had plenty of ppl tell me the impact it had on them. So we'll see!
#blu babbles#answered#anonymous#yea sorry guys but my days of just writing for a few kudos are over :(#ive written fanfiction for myself since i was 11. now i have a shitton of original ideas and characters floating around in my head#and they may actually make me money 😭#not that im done with fanfic completely. you never know. some new thing may inspire me one day#but it really is thankless work nowadays. i wrote 119k words and 35 chapters of Icarus & I over the span of 5 years#and ive made so many friends through that fic who are brilliant writers and just amazing people#and i still get the occasional DM on ff.net from a new reader who dug it up and dusted it off. and who say it means so much to them#and its important to me too! it was my own way of figuring out my mental health issues and the growing pains of my teenage years#not to mention a philosophical journey. when i made armin ask what the point of it all was i was 14 and didnt have the answer myself.#and it taught me how to write and complete a full story as well. i learned so much from it. and ive heard its helped so many.#pluvio could be the same. but im 22 now and my days of writing thankless fanfic are limited.#it was a beautiful escape for me for so long. but in my recovery im finally getting to the point where im facing my pain#rather than running from it. and these original characters and their stories that have come to me are my new guides to processing it.#again its not that ill never write fanfic again. i just posted the next chapter of pluvio 😂 but i do need to know ppl are reading it.#sorry for the long answer though! i havent been thinking about why ive only been writing my ocs lol so this helped
