no you have to contribute to your fandom if you don't want it to die. most fandoms die because people say 'it's so sad watching the fandom die when the hype dies' without doing anything about it. I'm not saying you have to push out 100k word slow-burn fic, I'm not saying you have to make fan art or gif sets or edits or anything. I'm just saying we as a community should contribute to our fandom if we don't want it to die, and by contributing, I'm talking about giving kudos, commenting on your favorite fics, reblogging your favorite art and just talking about your favorite characters. that's enough to keep a fandom alive. that's the most effective way to keep a fandom alive in my humble opinion.
fandoms die because people stop talking about it, fandoms die because people stop engaging with fan content once the hype is gone. what I'm saying is, mainstream media's hype may be gone, but our fandom can stay alive and thriving if us as a community don't let it die.

BOOM, it’s April! Guess who still doesn’t have the blog back!
(Very funny, tumblr, now can you finally end your April Fool’s prank on me? We are now at email three going on four with no response.)
For those of you returning, HI! for those who are new — don’t know how you’re seeing this, I’m kind of stuck — HERE is a link to our first post with a rundown of what this project is about. As always, everyone is welcome!!! I’m so genuinely psyched whenever I see an unfamiliar url in the tag, rivalled only by the thrill I get when I see a returning user.
As an aside, I’m out of my ADHD meds, you are not allowed to be mad that this post is late. It’s still April 1st in my timezone.
In the meantime, how’s about a fun April image?
Since it’s April, the month of the fool, I encourage you all to do the fucking most with this one. There are no limits. Be as creative as possible. Make it a comic, make it out of cake, make it a whole skywriting ordeal.
…or just do your best in general. Y’all know I’m already living for the efforts you’re putting out already, this project makes my heart soar. I love you all.

One of the great things about fandom is that sooner or later you will think to yourself: I would never write/read x kind of story, I would never ship x kind of pairing, I would never do whatever fandom thing, and then, if you stick around long enough, you will 100% become a clown of your own making. It’s inevitable and I love it.

someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue
I can admit this is a little out of hand, but I promise AI didn't write my 150k fic 😂
Reblog if you're a human that uses em-dashes

pet peeve is when a fellow hater conducts their haterism such that they leave the hater community vulnerable to attack. “i think characterizing Character A in x way is boring and annoying” = beautiful, flawless, unimpeachable haterism. no one can tell u that u aren’t allowed to find a certain characterization boring. “it is morally/objectively wrong to characterize Character A in x way” = sloppy, reactionary, overcommitting. you have left our eastern flank open to attack girl what the hell….now my dedicated hater troops are taking fire from YOUR enemies fuckkkkk
