I feel inspired to re-tell one of my favorite stories.
Several years ago, I read an excellent novel-length fanfic in what was then my main fandom. I was so blown away that for a couple of weeks I seriously felt that there was no reason for me to continue writing in that fandom because nothing would be better than that fic.
I got over it and kept writing, mainly because in the words of Amos Starkadder, “The word burns in me mouth.”
Eventually I met the author of that amazing fic. She told me that she had been in Sentinel fandom for a while, but had quit writing for it because there were so many good writers in that fandom that she didn’t see much point.
Write your fic! Draw your pics! Your idols are as insecure as you are!
This is getting reblogged all of a sudden so I’m bumping it.
If I ever meet @mottlemoth I think I’ll faint. Her fics are the best in the whole fandom (in my opinion)
Remember, the fans are excited about two cakes! Only you can tell your story
