#i honestly don't follow a ton of kotlc blogs and i have no idea how tumblr decides what appears on my dash from tags i follow

Sometimes I marvel at the amount of art this fandom creates. Like, our AO3 tag is more populated than fandoms five times our size! (I looked at the Cosmere tag today, which are series I consider insanely popular—the very author who just had the biggest Kickstarter in history—and it had 1599 fics to our 1638. Like??) And we have fanart being made every day! And yet our fandom, at least on tumblr, is small enough that a lot of us know each other. I just think it's so amazing how this series inspires all of us to create.

I also think that it's because our fandom is uniquely supportive. I follow the KotLC tag, and it's very rare that I see a piece of art that doesn't have at least 20-30 notes. And though writing doesn't do as well, I think that people who read a piece often like and reblog it, at least the most active blogs. Plus, when we come up with a cursed concept, the pure volume of edits, art, and writing that are immediately created is insane! And the amount of ship weeks and other events we've hosted for our size!

It's one of the biggest things that has kept me here for so long--our fandom loves creation and loves to support it.
