Here's wot I think re #fanfic :
Most fanfic is pretty bad, and that's what makes it great. Which sounds counterintuitive, but bear with me.
Fanfic isn't like original fiction. The goal is different, and so are both the creator and reader. They're in it for different things.
Original fiction is largely about telling a good story and telling it well. There's craft involved, and both the writer and reader are involved in that process.
And # fanfic and # fanfiction are not as empty as I'd have expected by far.
So… there is definitely _some_ amount of fan ~content~ and ~discussion~ here. Hm. *still very interested in all of this*
Well, # stevenuniverse is rather well populated on mastodon.social (hah hashtags in federation still feel weird, but also fun because you can discover new treasures everywhere)
And # overwatch, ah, I always forget about the games.
Hm, I'm thinking. While Mastodon feels *close* to a fandom-ish space, being very furry-friendly and geeky and all, I haven't seen a lot of non-furry-specific fandom content/discussion/youknow.
Are there any actively-ish used tags for specific fandoms? Are there exclusively fan-ish accounts? I know of the Star Trek themed tenforward.social, are there other instances like that? Anything else?
And… it's probably different if you understand Japanese, with pawoo being a pixiv thing, right?
And to be clear, I'm talking about numbers far below 100. Everything over 20 is weird magic.
Meows… I am not happy when people get snobby about calculating things in your head :s It's super hard and like for example I have no idea how people actually remember multiplcation tables, I usually have to count though from the beginning tbh, so like dividing things in my head is… possible… but… I would not recommend it
Okay it is late and I feel like I have watched the inspiration for the hunger games and wondering why i'm not *more* uncomfortable with this weird display of nationalism (incl flag-waving, creepy) than I am anyway o.O #eurovision
"Music is feeling" well I'd have preferred "I'm super gay" as a message to the world from anyone but okay #eurovision
Well that was boring. I was hoping for a "Krum catches the snitch but Ireland wins" situation but no. #eurovision
Srsly, Portugal Person has nice hands and nice eyes, but not THAT nice. #eurovision
