So about my fic that I posted (very scary). It’s a Matrix fic, and it’s got an aro character, and I am like... so very surprised that it is the first Matrix fic to have the “Aromantic” tag on AO3. Like, I was expecting 10. Or so. I know 10 still isn’t a lot, but I was expecting more than 0. I’m actually very surprised.

#bc i am shameless i shall add that it's called A Simulacra of Sound if anyone is interested #but like truly i... i know there isnt a lot of aro fic but i 1) overestimated the size of the matrix fandom--tbh im glad its not that big--#2) simply overestimated the frequency of aro fics being written #and yeah ikik if you want to see it you should write it. but i dont like reading my writing at all.#its not that i dont like it--i really like my writing--its just that i read it so many times that its meaningless #i dont get to be like 'omg cool wordplay' or 'ooh neat rhythm' or 'what a neat way to characterize that' im just like reading Sounds #its like listening to things backwards #matrix #aromantic #yeah #idk its weird bc i dont really want to write fic w/ an audience in mind bc its something i do for fun and i dont want to #fall back into the habit of writing for other people or what i think other people want to read #but man someone's gotta make more aro fanfic lol #also like ik a lot of aros hate the 'a robot it must be aro' thing but also like #if youre gonna think abt the sexuality of a program designed to like destroy humans #is it really more plausible that it wants some sweet sweet romance with the person it's trying to kill #like thats a part of why it is very surprising to me that no other aro matrix fics have been posted to ao3 #anyway im not that like... bummed abt it rn so much as just like 'wow thats wild'#ugh i should go write my very existential common app essay #dante dicit
