A Very Weird Question

[kowaiyoukai]

I get this strange reaction to a few people in fandom. Not saying any names, b/c that's not the point of this, but you guys know when someone (usually a BNF) gets published IRL and then sort of completely drops out of fandom and all they can talk about is their own stuff or the stuff of the people they know who have also been published?

This phenomenon hurts me. ;_;

I swear, I will never abandon fandom or fanfiction, no matter if I get published or not. \o/

I've got this epic series planned out, and actually it already has kind of a small fandom--among those who have read it. So I'm very hopeful that it will get some kind of fandom once it's out. It's a five-novel series, urban fantasy, and yeah, I heart it! ♥

The idea of having your own fandom is kind of awesome.

Ooh, me too! Except mine is a lot less organized, lol. I've been working on it for so long, but I have no idea how many books it will take to exhaust it. It'll probably go on forever at this point.

Yeah, I only recently started thinking about the possibility of it having a fandom... the idea is almost too amazing to contemplate, lol. I can't understand why any author would be against it. I can't wait to read the fic! Even the terrible ones. XD

Hey, I have a genius idea! Do you want to exchange originals, concrit each other's, and then give them back? B/c I need some more input. *le sigh*

I know! I'm very excited about fic! siriuslyyellow has already said that she's going to post up an epicfic on the day the first novel comes out. LOL! :D \o/

That... that would be so cool. No one's ever given me any opinions on my characters before (probably because I don't talk about them to anyone anymore, lol). There are a couple characters I've had for years that I just can't figure out completely... and others I've had for just as long that are basically figured out, but could probably use some outside criticism.
