Look no shade but I do get a little salty when people say there’s not enough non-shipping fic when anyone who’s ever tried to write gen knows you have to be twice as good and write twice as much to get anyone to care about it

I honestly was not prepped for the raw truth of this post and it fucking clocked me across the jaw. The lack of interest in genfic is genuinely quite…upsetting? Like, I’ve literally had fics which I’m high-key proud of and I’ve found myself HAVING to include a subtle shippy ‘element’ just to try and ensure that people actually…read it. The alternative? Total tumbleweed.

Which is really depressing because there’s more to the characters involved than who they’re fucking and I think people miss out on a lot of good content by JUST looking at the ship tag and nothing else. So many good artists, lost to the void 😔 saddens me xx

   Especially disheartening when both as a reader and writer you’re really not that interested in romance and stuff.

    This has been 100% my experience as well. Some fandoms are way worse than others (looking at you, NuTrek).
